All big cities are quite similar. Living in a modern Asian city is not very d 1       from living in an American city. The same cannot be said about living on farms,however.

In many parts of the w 2       ,farmers and their families live in villages or towns. In the United States,however,each farm family lives on its o 3       fields,often beyond the sight of any neighbors. Instead of t 4       from a village to the fields every morning,American farmers stay on their land throughout the week. They travel to the nearest town on S 5       for shopping or on Sundays for church. The children r 6       on buses to large schools which serve all of the farm families living in the area. In some areas,there are small schools serving a few farm families,and the children walk to school.

Of course life keeps changing for e 7       ,including farmers. Today there are cars,good roads,radios,and television sets. And of course there are modern m 8       for farming. All of these have changed farm life.

For many years,however,farming in America was often a lonely way of living. Farmers had to deal with their own p 9       ,instead of getting help from others. They 1 10       to try new methods,and to trust their own ideas instead of following older ways.

Strong,healthy teeth help you chew food that helps you grow. They help you speak clearly. And they help you look best. Here are some tips for you to take care of your teeth.

1. Brush your teeth in the right way.

Brush your teeth at least twice a day―after breakfast and before bedtime. If you can,brush them after lunch or after sweet snacks,too.

Brush all of your teeth,not just the front ones. Spend time brushing teeth along the side and back of your mouth. Brush things away from your gums (牙床) too.

Spend at least three minutes each time when you brush your teeth. Play a song you like to help pass the time. Get a new toothbrush every three months. When you buy your toothbrush,be sure it has soft bristles (刷子毛) .

2. Learn how to floss your teeth (用牙線剔牙縫) .

Flossing is a very important way to keep your teeth healthy. Food may hide in places where a toothbrush can not get to,like the space between two teeth. Flossing can help get rid of (除掉) it. Carefully move the floss between two teeth,up and down. You need to floss your teeth at least once a day.

3. Have good eating habits.

We were very polite,this stranger and I. We said goodbye and continued our journey. But at home,a different story is told. How we treat our loved ones,young and old? Later that day,while I was cooking the evening meal,my daughter stood beside me very still.

When I turned,I nearly knocked her down. "Move out of the way," I shouted at her. My daughter walked away,with her little heart broken. I didn't realize how cruelly (冷酷地) I had spoken.

While I lay awake in bed,God's small voice came to me and said, "When dealing with a stranger,common courtesy (禮貌) you use; but the children you love,you seem to abuse. Look on the kitchen floor,and you will find some flowers there by the door. Those are the flowers your daughter brought for you. She picked them herself,pink,yellow and blue. Your daughter stood quietly not to spoil the surprise,and you never saw the tears in her eyes. " By this time I felt very small,and my tears began to fall.

I quietly went and knelt by her bed, "Wake up,little girl,wake up," I said. "Are these the flowers you picked for me?" My daughter smiled, "I found them,out by the tree. I picked them because they are pretty like you. I knew you would like them,especially the blue."

I said, "Daughter,I am sorry for the way I acted today;I should not have shouted at you that way. " My daughter said, "Oh,Mum,that's okay. I love you anyway."
