Dear Lucy, In your last letter, you asked me how to show love to your parents. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}

★Make a picture for them. Whether with pencils or paints, it'll be valuable to them forever.

★Cook them a dinner! It can be some rice, some cheese or some hot dogs.  {#blank#}2{#/blank#}

★Tell them that you love them very often. Your love can make them feel warm and proud.

★ {#blank#}3{#/blank#}  Probably the biggest way to show them you love them is never to lie. This shows them that you not only love them, but also believe in and respect them.

★ {#blank#}4{#/blank#} Watch a film with your mom once in a while, or go to a sports match with your dad once in a while just to show them how much you care and want to be closer to them.

★If you do something wrong, say sorry to them and explain it! They will know your regret. You could do something for them to show that you want to make it up to them。 {#blank#}5{#/blank#}

Yours,

Agony

      My friends and I got to talking about the rules that we have in school.

      At our school, we have to w{#blank#}1{#/blank#}uniforms every day. The problem is that all my classmates think the uniforms a{#blank#}2{#/blank#}ugly. We think young people should look s{#blank#}3{#/blank#}and so we would like to wear our own clothes. Our teachers believe that if we did that, we would concentrate more on our clothes t{#blank#}4{#/blank#}our studies. We disagree. We would feel more comfortable and that is good for s{#blank#}5{#/blank#}. If we can't do that, we should be allowed to design our own uniforms. That would be a good way to keep both teachers and students h{#blank#}6{#/blank#}. It's also probably a good idea for parents to a{#blank#}7{#/blank#}teenagers to study in groups during the evening. I know we get noisy sometimes, b{#blank#}8{#/blank#}we can learn a lot from each other. We also think that vacations should be longer. At present they're too short. Longer vacations would g{#blank#}9{#/blank#}us time to do things like volunteering. Last summer I had an opportunity to volunteer at the local hospital, but I couldn't because I had to go back to school. It would be a good experience for me because I want to b{#blank#}10{#/blank#}a doctor when I grow up.

    On November 5th, 1872, the ship Mary Celeste left New York {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Italy. The captain (船长), his wife and daughter and seven sailors(海员) were on this ship. But something terrible happened. The captain of another ship {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (find) Mary Celeste floating (漂浮) in the middle of the sea on December 4th, 1872. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}, nobody was on the ship.

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#} were the captain, his family and the sailors? Why did they leave the ship? Mary Celeste was not {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (break). Everything was good. It seemed that the captain, his family and the sailors had {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (leave) the ship in a hurry. We could tell all these because there was half-eaten food on the table. The sailors also left all {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (they) clothing behind. The lifeboat (救生艇) was still on the ship. The captain's diary was found on the ship and the last passage {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (write) on November 24th.  

    What happened {#blank#}9{#/blank#}November 24th and December 4th. How and when did the people leave the ship? So far, nobody can answer all these {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (question). It is still a mystery.

    We can't remember{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(clear) since when we started to take our mobile phones to a dinner table. This happens a lot, especially when we eat out. Once d{#blank#}2{#/blank#} come, we take out our mobile phones and take photos i{#blank#}3{#/blank#}of lifting our chopsticks. Later, we post the photos onto Weibo or Wechat, {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(wait) to be "liked”. Then we checked our mobile phones from time to time during the meal, to see w{#blank#}5{#/blank#} we get “liked” or not. We just cannot leave our mobile phones for simply a meal.

    Does that sound familiar to you? Do you do that often? If not, how do you feel when others do that when having dinner with you?

    A recent study {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(suggest) that what we are used to doing is not that good. Spending time taking photos of food makes the food less pleasant So, w{#blank#}7{#/blank#} not stop taking photos and just enjoy the food ahead of you?

    Besides the {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(science)result, there are also some other bad influences of taking photos of food before meals. After posting the photos onto the Internet, one will be unable to control himself and check his mobile phone many times." Does everyone accept my photos? I hope a lot of people like them!" It seems like your mobile phone secretly calls your name all the time, even when you are w {#blank#}9{#/blank#}real people.

    So, next time you go out to have dinner, how about not taking photos of food? Let the food be delicious as it is and share your life with others. Trust me, and it will be a {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(wonder) time.
