    It used to be that parents and teachers had set days and times for parent-teacher meetings, but {#blank#}1{#/blank#} With the help of QQ, Wechat, school website and so on, parents and teachers can communicate with each other more easily and often. But some parents still don't want to connect with their child's teachers. That's not right! Because{#blank#}2{#/blank#}

    Be sure to call your child's teacher if {#blank#}3{#/blank#} When a child who used to love going to school, but now cries and fights getting on the bus, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} Your child's teacher can pay more attention to something bigger happening.

    For example, you may find the teacher's notes on the test paper. They are often helpful for parents to understand what your child's problem is. If they are unclear to you. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}.

    A good working relationship between parents and teachers is good for everyone. Keep communicating, ask questions and solve problems before they become too big. They are all ways to build a strong relationship.

    The Browns are English. Now they are in Beijing. (1)This is their first visit to China.

    They are going to stay in China for three weeks. They want to visit some big cities and villages. They want to learn some Chinese, too.

    Mr Brown is a driver, and he likes driving in Beijing very much. Mrs Brown is a teacher. She is visiting a school in Beijing. Their son Jim is a middle school student.

    Have you ever counted the number of digits (数字) in your mobile phone number? Your number has 11 digits. You may sometimes find it hard to remember your number. That's because China has the longest mobile phone numbers in the world. Why is that?

    The 11 digits can be divided into three parts. Each part has a different meaning. The first three numbers tell you which mobile phone service company it is. For example, 135 is for China Mobile Communications

    Corporation and 188 is for China Unicom. The fourth to the seventh digits tell you where the number is registered (注册). And the last four digits are random (随机的).

    The main reason for using 11 digits is that we have the largest population in the world. We once had 10 numbers. But as our population grew, there were not enough numbers for us to use. So we began to use 11 digits starting from 1999. Eleven digits can be used to make tens of billions of mobile phone numbers. That's enough for each person to have seven or eight phone numbers to use in China.

    And mobile phone numbers can be recycled. Usually, the service company will reuse a canceled number after three to six months. If you call a number that you haven't contacted for a long time, you may find that its owner has changed.

    Besides China, Britain and Japan also use 11-digit mobile phone numbers. But their numbers always start with 0. So they cannot create as many numbers as we can. Countries like the United States, Australia and India use phone numbers with 10 digits. Canada's mobile phone numbers are perhaps the shortest in the world: they use seven digits.
