As a working mom with three young sons，keeping the house clean is a big challenge. 【小题1】 we clean the house every week，one hour later after cleaning our bedrooms and bathrooms are back to their 【小题2】（mess）look. When asked, my boys will help neaten their room, clear their plates from the table and pick up their school junk. But I need to remind them 【小题3】 it again and again.

If I don't remind them, I will step over all the things 【小题4】 make my house look like a garbage can. This is quite 【小题5】 change from my pre-kid years when I never 【小题6】 (leave) any waste in the house. 【小题7】 seems that I cannot get these days back again at my own house.

When last week I found a program 【小题8】 (call) Share a Healthy Habit in a newspaper, I saw a great chance to engage my sons in doing chores. Why not encourage these behaviors during the 【小题9】 (relax) life in summer vacation?

The goal for my boys is to clean their own bedrooms themselves when they are free. The rewards for clean habits start young and continue as they get 【小题10】 (old), so I need to start my plan as soon as possible.

It was now raining heavily. My husband was away. I did not want to ask anyone else to go with me. So I went to the hospital by 【小题1】 . I was taken to a small room. Lina 【小题2】(lie)sleeping quietly on a table. This wasn’t 【小题3】  first time Lina had taken too many pills. I knew she would sleep deeply for about twelve hours 【小题4】  the poison had stopped doing its harm.

I sat down by Lina’s side and watched her sleep. The room was still. I looked around. The room seemed familiar. “Have I been here before?” I wondered. I looked around【小题5】. “I’m sure I’ve been in this room,” I told myself. Then I remembered. It was in this very room that I gave birth 【小题6】  Lina seventeen years ago.【小题7】  happy I was then!

Lina used to be such a bright,【小题8】(health) and nice child. “What has turned her into a dope-taker (吸毒者)?” I asked myself. “And why are millions of young people like her【小题9】(take)dope to destroy themselves? There must be something【小题10】(serious) wrong with our society. What is it?”

It can be a big headache to balance your 【小题1】(develop) mental needs too. You enter a strange middle ground—no longer a small child but not quite an adult. You have both a new desire for 【小题2】(depend) and a continued need for your parents’ love and support. You feel ready 【小题3】(be) more responsible and make【小题4】(decide) on your own.【小题5】(fortunate), your parents do not always agree ,【小题6】 makes you feel unhappy. “why can’t they just let 【小题7】 (I) go?” you may wonder. 【小题8】the other hand, when you are struggling to control your feelings, you wish they could be more caring and patient-sometimes they forget that【小题9】(grow) up is a rough ride. It can be difficult when your parents treat you【小题10】 a child but expect you to act like an adult. All of this can lead to a breakdown in your relationship.
