1．　　Once there was a father and a son. They were ill-tempered (坏脾气的) and never gave way to others.

I can't wait any longer." He wanted to know what the matter (7)       his son was. So he left his friends at home, and he himself went to the town to (8)       his son.
　　"You may first take the (9)       home for my friends. Let me (10)       here against him instead." He said to his son when he knew what had happened.

2．　　These days, the generation gap (代沟) has become a serious problem. Some children even hurt themselves after (1)       with their parents, I think this is because they (2)       communicate with each other. Some parents don't (3)       their children to do what they love to do. And children don't share their (4)       with their parents even if they are in trouble. As time passes, they both feel that they don't have the (5)       topic to talk about.
　　Why not have a change? How can parents (6)       their children? Many parents feel puzzled (困惑的). For parents, they should spend more time with their children and try to (7)       them. The (8)       between them will probably become better. For children, they should show true feelings to their (9)      . After all, parents always have more life experience. If necessary, (10)       it to them patiently (耐心地). In this way, they'll have a better understanding of each other.

3．　　Do you want to be a volunteer? Maybe you need some ideas. Here is some advice.
　　Help kids learn and grow. Be a big brother or sister at an after-school care center. You can help little kids to learn or play with them.
　　Give back (回馈) during the holidays. Serve dinner for the homeless, volunteer at an old people's home, or give out toys to kids.
　　Help at an animal shelter (庇护所). Most shelters depend on volunteers to keep the cats and dogs happy and take them to exercise. And when you're walking dogs, you get some exercise, too.
　　Protect the environment. Take part in a park clean-up day. Plant a tree. Join a group to work together to protect a river.
　　Help sick people. Helping others can make you feel good. When you cheer sick people up, you also feel happy. If you have several hobbies, find a way to do them all. For example, if you love kids and are good at painting and dancing, visit a children's hospital and teach them these interesting things.

4．　　Nobody likes to do chores, especially kids. (1)       Try making chores fun for them.
　　(2)       Music makes everything seem like a party, doesn't it?Play your kids' favorite music and let them dance around while they are doing their chores.
　　Make it a treasure hunt (寻宝). It's a good way when you would like them to clean the house. Let them know that you hide a ＄5 bill someplace. (3)      
　　Change often. (4)       So you can teach them a new task. It's fun for both you and the kids. They will feel more grown up when they get a new task.
　　(5)       It's never fun to be the only one working and watching everyone else relaxing. If everyone does chores. you will finish them faster and have more fun.

　　Tofu is a kind of traditional (2)             food. We often cat it in China. Now more and more people in other (3)             think tofu is good for heath, too.
