Suddenly a crow(乌鸦) landed on their window. The father asked his son, “What is that?” The son replied, “That is a crow.” After a few minutes, the father asked his son for the second time, “What is that?” The son said, “Father, I told you just now. it is a crow.” After a little while, the father asked his son the same question for the third time, “What is that?” This time his son shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again? I have told you already. IT IS A CROW. Are you not able to understand this?” A minute later the father went to his room and came back with a diary, which he had kept since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page: Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow suddenly landed on the window edge. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied him 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question. I did not at all feel angry, but instead felt affection for my son. If your parents reach old age, do not look at them as a burden, but speak to them gently, and be kind to them. Form today on say this aloud, “I want to see my parents happy forever. They have cared for me ever since I was a little child. They have always showered me with love.

It is important to make the right impression from the very first day. You will face new people. You will be in a new place. It may be difficult to know what to do. Here are five tips to help you make it through the first days at a new job:1First impressions can last forever. Make sure you make a good one. Before your first day, find out if your new job has a dress code (rules about what you can wear to work). If so, be sure to follow it. No matter what, always be neat and clean.2Get to work on time. Give yourself an extra 15 minutes to make sure you arrive on time.3Pay attention to introductions. One of the first things that your supervisor may do is to introduce you to co-workers. These co-workers will be important to you. They are the ones who will answer your questions when the boss is not around.4Ask a lot of questions. Make sure that your supervisor has told you what is expected of you. If he or she has not told you your duties, ask for a list. Set daily and weekly goals for yourself.5Never be the first one to leave. Observe what your co-workers do around quitting time (下班时间).

I learned this from the viewpoint of an active member of the community and my host family, not from the tourists point of view,” says Andrew, who studied in Poitiers, France.Another reason for studying abroad is that youll gain self-confidence. Christina studied in Caracas, Venezuela, a city of 10 million people and a huge change from her home town of 35,000! Christina says she learned how to better stand up for herself and her beliefs and to express herself in another language. What could make you more confident than that?Living away from home can also help you adjust in the transition(过渡) to college and adulthood. Mathew says he returned from studying in Australia with confidence and a real interest in international affairs that made him different from his peers(同龄人). “After having gone abroad in high school, I found the transition to college to be a breeze moving 560 miles from home didnt seem particularly frightening after having lived thousands of miles away.”Most of all, its fun while youre studying in a different learning environment.47The passage is mainly about .Athe benefits of studying abroad Bliving in a foreign country Cthe excitement of travelDlearning a language48What did Andrew pay special attention to while studying abroad?
