We often think it certain that our parents are always there for us, but this is not true for “left-behind” children. They h 1 ever see their parents because their parents work in cities, leaving them behind in the countryside to be cared for by their grandparents.
As in August, China had 6.97 million left-behind children, about one-third of all rural(农村的) children. With Spring Festival arriving, the government is calling on parents working outside to r 2 _ home and celebrate the new year with their kids. In fact, children living without their parents can face many problems, such as their safety, mental (心理的) health and education. For example, their grandparents may not be able to help them with their homework or raise them properly. This can cause children to have an u 3___ feeling, according to Workers’ Daily.
The government has taken some action to care for and p 4__ left-behind children, such as sending social workers to rural areas. They will r__5___ to the government if they find that any left-behind child is suffering from abuse (虐待), China Daily noted.
But the best solution is to bring parents and children t__6__. The government has encouraged those workers to go back to their rural hometowns to look for work and business opportunities. Another solution is to make it easier for rural children to attend schools in the cities.

“You have saved my horse,” Queen Oliviatold the young boy standing before her. “Now you will have a reward(奖赏).” Peter nervously ran his fingers through his brown hair. The frightened horse had run past him as he worked in the field that morning. He would have helped it whether it was the queen’s or not. But he had to admit that getting a reward was nice.
Two of the queen’s men appeared. One carried a mirror. Red jewels（宝石） shone on top of the mirror’s silver frame（银框）. The other carried a wooden cage with a chicken inside it.
“Only one reward can be yours,” the queen said. “Choose wisely.” “That’s easy,” Peter said. “I’ll take the chicken.” Some of the queen’s men laughed. It was clear that they thought he had made a foolish choice.
“And why did you choose the chicken ” the queen asked. “Well, I don’t know much about jewels ,” Peter answered. “But I do know about chickens. The chicken will provide eggs for my family for a long while.”
Queen Olivia smiled. “Then you did make a wise choice,” she said. “That mirror may look fancy(华丽的). But the jewels you see are only colored glass, and the frame is painted silver. The chicken is much more valuable.” Peter took the chicken and bowed. “Thank you, your majesty.”
“You are a smart child,” the queen added. “I could use a smart boy to help take care of my horses. Would you like to take the job ”Peter smiled. “Thank you very much!” he said excitedly.
