But parents do a lot more than just pass on their hobbies. Moms and Dads need to care for their kids the minute their kids are born. Most parents will do this as long as they live. Here are some ways you can stay close, get along well, and build a strong relationship (关系) with your parents. Spend time together. Instead of playing computer games or watching TV, ask your mom and dad play with you. Go outside together, or do some reading. Be kind. Little things might mean a lot to your mom or dad. You can brighten a parent’s day with a hug (拥抱), a card, or a joke. It’s as lovely when a kid cleans up his or her room without being asked. And if you try not to fight with your brothers or sisters, your parents will be so happy! Do your best at whatever your do. You don’t have to be perfect, but when you do your best, you make your parents proud. It makes them happy to see how you’re turning into a great kid. Why?

As the days passed, the red rose often looked at the cactus and said bad words about it, like “This plant is useless. How sorry I am to be his neighbor!” The cactus never got angry and even tried to advise the rose, saying, “God did not create (创造) any form of life without a purpose (目的).” Spring passed, and the weather became very hot. As there was no rain, the red rose began to wilt (枯萎). One day the rose saw birds put their beaks (喙) into the cactus and then fly away. The red rose asked the pine tree what the birds were doing. The pine tree explained that the birds were getting water from the cactus. “The cactus has water?” asked the rose. “Yes, you can also drink some from it. The birds can bring water to you if you ask the cactus for help.” The red rose felt too ashamed to ask for water from the cactus. But finally, it did ask for help. The cactus kindly agreed.

Over your lifetime, they may influence (影响) you more than anyone else you will meet. So if your mom loves to read, you just might grow up carrying a book wherever you go, just as she does. But parents do a lot more than just pass on their hobbies. Moms and Dads need to care for their kids the minute their kids are born. Most parents will do this as long as they live. Here are some ways you can stay close, get along well, and build a strong relationship (关系) with your parents. Spend time together. Instead of playing computer games or watching TV, ask your mom and dad play with you. Go outside together, or do some reading. Be kind. Little things might mean a lot to your mom or dad. You can brighten a parent’s day with a hug (拥抱), a card, or a joke. It’s as lovely when a kid cleans up his or her room without being asked. And if you try not to fight with your brothers or sisters, your parents will be so happy! Do your best at whatever your do. You don’t have to be perfect, but when you do your best, you make your parents proud. It makes them happy to see how you’re turning into a great kid. Why?

When spring came, a pine tree saw a red rose nearby and said, “What a beautiful flower! I wish I were that lovely.” The rose proudly (傲慢地) said, “It seems that I am the most beautiful flower in this forest.” Then the rose looked at a cactus (仙人掌) and said, “Look at that ugly plant full of thorns (刺).” “What a proud flower!” Thought the trees. As the days passed, the red rose often looked at the cactus and said bad words about it, like “This plant is useless. How sorry I am to be his neighbor!” The cactus never got angry and even tried to advise the rose, saying, “God did not create (创造) any form of life without a purpose (目的).” Spring passed, and the weather became very hot. As there was no rain, the red rose began to wilt (枯萎). One day the rose saw birds put their beaks (喙) into the cactus and then fly away. The red rose asked the pine tree what the birds were doing. The pine tree explained that the birds were getting water from the cactus. “The cactus has water?” asked the rose. “Yes, you can also drink some from it. The birds can bring water to you if you ask the cactus for help.” The red rose felt too ashamed to ask for water from the cactus. But finally, it did ask for help. The cactus kindly agreed.

After the deliveryman left, Ma posted what she just experienced on her WeChat’s Moments with two photos. After that post, heartwarming comments (评论) followed, such as, “Life is not easy but none of us gives up!” “Show more understanding for deliverymen.” Quite a few customers (顾客) called Ma and offered to pay for the deliveryman’s cake and buy more desserts for his family. However, the deliveryman didn’t come back that day. But the day after, Ma found him and told him about her customers’ kindness. She invited him to get the cake for his daughter. The deliveryman was very thankful. Ma posted other photos of the deliveryman taking the cake and wrote, “We have delivered your kindness and the winter has become warmer because of all of you.” “At first, I just want to do something for him by myself.
