A
I took my 9-year-old daughter, Susan and 5-year-old son, Robbie to the shopping centre. As we got there, we saw a big sign that said, "Daddy, can we go "
Both my wife and I were out of work. However, I said "Sure", giving them a quarter each. They went away, leaving only fifty cents left in my pocket.
A petting zoo is made up of a hundred little baby animals of all kinds. Kids pay their money and stay in the enclosure (围场）pleased with the little animals while their parents shop.
A few minutes later, I saw Susan walking along behind me. I was surprised and asked what was wrong.
She said sadly, "Well, Daddy, a ticket for Petting Zoo costs fifty cents. So I gave Robbie my quarter." Then she said the most beautiful thing I ever heard. She repeated the family motto (座右铭）, which is "Love Is Action!"
I knew clearly no one loves little animals more than Susan. She had watched both my wife and me do and say "Love Is Action!" for years, and now she had put it into her lifestyle. It had become part of her, because she knew the whole family motto. It's not only "Love Is Action!"; it's "Love Is Sacrificial (牺牲的）Action!" Love always pays a price.
I was moved. We went back to the Petting Zoo. Susan stood with her hands and chin（下巴）resting on the fence and just watched Robbie go crazy petting and feeding the animals. I had fifty cents burning a hole in my pocket. I put my hand into my pocket and took out the money. Sure, I must do that!

Many people say that they are working too many hours. They don't have enough time to relax or to stay with their family.
Working hours are different from one country to another. In France, people spend about 1, 646 hours a year at work. In Japan, however, people work about 2, 159 hours a year.

Many people say that their vacations are too short. In France, people get five weeks of paid vacation a year. In Germany, they get four to six weeks, and in the United States, two weeks. One study shows fewer than half of workers use all their vacation days. In Great Britain, there is a saying, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull(迟钝的) boy."

30.To get enough sleep
How much sleep do we need We are all different. Some people need only three hours of sleep a night. Others need ten hours of sleep a night. Most Americans sleep for an average(平均值) of seven to eight hours a night. After the age of fifty the average sleeping time goes down to 6.5 hours a night.
Most people have a bad night when they cannot sleep. About one in three Americans has a problem with sleep. Many of these people can not fall asleep. This problem is called insomnia. This is not a new problem. Many famous people in history had insomnia. Some of these people had special ideas to make themselves fall asleep. Benjamin Franklin, the famous statesman(政治家) and inventor, had four beds. He moved from one to another to fall asleep. King Lousis XIV of France had 413 beds and hoped that he could fall asleep in one of them. Mark Twain, the famous American writer, had a different way. He lay on his side on the end of the bed!

As we all know, our parents love us more than anyone else in the world. They try to offer the best life and education to us, so they have too much pressure.
As their children, learning to care for our parents is what we should do. Firstly, we can do sports with them to help them keep healthy and do housework as much as possible at home. Secondly, we should tell them to eat healthy food and not to stay up late so that they can get enough sleep. Last but not least, we should share our school life with them and get closer to them.
All in all, we should care for our parents and love them as they love us.
