Dear Editor,
I'm writing to tell you about a food poisoning accident．Several days ago, my neighbor ate a bag of food buying from the market．After the meal, they had stomachaches and their faces turn pale．Fortunate, one of their friends found the accident and immediately called an ambulance, which carried them quickly to a hospital．After several hours' treatment they finally escaped with death．
As some illegal businessmen only interested in making profits to become rich quickly, we seldom care about the necessary safety measures．Nor do they care about which happens to consumers．They shall be charged by law．Meanwhile, I do hope whole society can realize the important of food safety and begin taking action together to make sure food is safe．

When a person is curious about something, it means he is interested in it and wishes to know something about it．There is wrong with curiosity in itself．Whether it is good or bad depends on what people are curious about．
Curiosity sometimes be foolish or wrong．Some people with nothing to do are full of curiosity about what their neighbors are doing．They have a strong wish to know what they are bringing home or taking outside, or they have come home so early or late． To be interested in these things is silly because it is none of their__ to know what their neigh-bours do or are doing． Such curiosity is not only foolish but also harmful． Most probably, it may lead to a small talk which often brings harm or disrespect to others, thus （hurt）others' feelings．
However, there is a clever curiosity-the curiosity of wise men, who wonder at all the great things and try to find out all they can learn about them．Columbus could never have found America if he （not be） curious． James Watt would not have made the steam engine his curiosity about the rising of the kettle lid． All the discoveries in human history have （make）as a result of curiosity, so the clever curiosity is never about （important） things which have little or nothing to do with the happiness of public．
When I was eight, I wrote my first poem．My mother read and cried, "Buddy, you didn't really write this beautiful poem!"
Shyly, but ,I said yes．She poured out her ．"It was nothing short of talent!"
”What time will Father be home?" I asked．I could hardly wait to my work to him．I spent quite some time for his arrival．I wrote the poem out in my finest flourish（花体字）’drew a fancy border around it and I placed it right on my father's plate on the dining table． My father had begun his motion-picture career as a writer．1 was sure he would be able to my poem．
At almost 7 o'clock my father burst in．He seemed ．He circled the dining-room table, complaining about his employees．
Suddenly he paused and glared at his plate．"What is this?" He was reaching for my poem．
¨Ben, Buddy has written his first poem!” my mother began． "And it's beautiful, absolutely amaz…”
“If you don't mind, I'd like to decide for myself．" Father said．
I my head as he read that poem． It was only ten lines．But it seemed to take hours．Then I heard him dropping the poem back on the table． Now came the moment of ．
“I think it's terrible," he said．
I couldn't look up． My eyes were getting ．
“Ben, these are the first lines of poetry he's ever written," my mother was saying． "He needs ，”
“I don't know why．" My father held his ground． "Isn't there enough poetry in the world already? "
I couldn't it another second． I ran from the dining room crying． Up in my room I myself on the bed and cried the worst of the out of me．
That may have been the end of the story, but not of its for me． I realized how fortunate I had been． I had a mother who said, "I think it's wonderful!" and a father who drove me to hear with "I think it's awful．"
Every one of us needs that mother force, from which all flows; and yet the mother force alone is incomplete． It needs the balance of the force that ,"Watch． Listen． Review． Improve．"
Those voices of my childhood ring in my ears through the years, like two opposing winds blowing me． Between the two poles of and doubt, both in the name of love, I try to follow my true course．

How to Love You
r Parents
Even if you think that your parents are mean-spirited at times, loving your parents is a normal and fulfilling part of life．You love them for the fact that they created you, raised you, and are in part, a source of who you are．__1.
Tell them you love them every morning．A gentle "good morning" and "I love you" will warm a coldest heart． Remember that they brought you into this world． Without your parents, we might still wander at an unknown corner in an unknown world．
Respect them more and cherish these moments．You can use these moments to learn from them, preparing yourself for when you're off on your own．It's OK to get angry but angry actions don't help you or your parents． Act calmly, cool off, write down your feelings, or talk to a friend．
2.
Obey their requests． It will make your attitude better and earn you more respect from them．It may seem like you are going through hell when you don't get what you want or you have to clean．However, you had better remember they keep a roof over your head when it's cold, raining, snowing, or too hot．Understand that parents are human beings and make mistakes． 3. Since you can forgive your friends, why not forgive your parents?
Keep company with them．Do things with your parents like watching TV, or go somewhere with them． 4. Listen to their old stories and learn from them． You will find they are your teachers in this way or another．
Some people simply may not be able to love their parents． 5. Seek help if you are being abused（虐待）in anyway．Parents do not have a right to harm you．
A． Parents will in turn express their love to you．
B． Forgiveness is the key．
C． Here are some ways to love your parents．
D． There can be realistic reasons for this, family violence for example．
E． Anyway, spend as much time with them as you can．
F． After this, share your feelings with your parents．
G． Please remember parents are as important as friends．
It is a wonderful morning, as I write this: hot, but without being too hot．Outside my window, I can see the sunniest sky of the year reflected in a huge natural expand of water．It is the kind of sun that makes you well aware of summer's temporary nature a reminder that if I am ever to go around to book this year's holiday, time is running out．
It is now close to four years since I last took a holiday．This is because I have come to the conclusion, over the course of my adult life, that I am not very good at it．You might say this sounds like saying you are not very good at drinking tea or listening to music．What could possibly be difficult about the natural act of putting your working life on hold for a couple of weeks and going somewhere to do nothing?
So what is my problem? On the surface, I'm probably a bit of homebody．And I just find the pressure of being on holiday too severe: it always feels like having a gun held to my head and being forced to have fun．Somehow, packing a carefully itemized（详细列举的）list of possessions and meeting a scheduled flight has none of the excitement of suddenly deciding to take a day off and driving somewhere for the fun of it．
Thankfully, I am not alone． This summer, most of my friends have decided not to have a break． And a recent survey highlighted the downside（负面）of holidays, with the results showing that nearly two thirds of people found that the calming effects of a holiday wore off within 24 hours, as stress levels returned to normal．And this year's the Idler magazine published its hook, Awful Holidays．Here you will find a list of the five most ecologically-damaging vacations it's possible to take, along with 50 horrible holidays experiences voted for on the idler website． Over the last decade, The Idler has become well known for promoting the idea of an easy, lazy life．The leisure（休闲）industry might seem an unlikely target of its criticism, but Dan Kienan, the book ' s editor, says
that he was flooded with entries from readers for his list of awful holidays．
