Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very trying to make money in order to the high tuition（學(xué)費(fèi)）for my brother and me. I never hear them say “I love you”, or see them send birthday to each other. My father has a bad temper（脾氣）. When he’s very tired from work, it is for him to lose his temper.

One day, my mother was preparing dinner. I sat down her.

“Mom, I have a question to ask you,” I said after a while.

“What?” she replied, doing her work.

“Is there love between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low .

My mother stopped her work and her head with surprise in her eyes. She didn’t answer and went on cooking.

I was very worried I thought I had hurt her. I didn’t know what I should do.

A few days later, my father suddenly got sick . My mother had to stay with him in the for a month. After they were back, every day in the morning and dusk（黃昏）, my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road. My father had never been so . It seemed they were the most harmonious（和諧的） .

“Dad, how are you now?” I asked him one day.

“Susan, don’t worry about me. To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom. I this kind of life.” Reading his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.

Teaching is one of the most rewarding（有回報(bào)的） jobs. It is also one of the most stressful. If you want to be a teacher, you should have a passion（激情） for young people. If you are thinking about going into teaching for any other reason than this, you need to find another job.

Teaching is difficult. Students can be difficult. Parents can be difficult. If you do not have a passion for the young people that you teach, you will burn out quickly. Passion is what keeps an excellent teacher going. When students have trouble understanding what is taught, it is what drives him to spend long hours trying to think out how to help them. If you do not have enough passion for your students, you might last a year or two, but not long. Passion is a must-have quality（品質(zhì)） for every good teacher.

Teaching can be rewarding, but you shouldn’t expect that reward to come easily. Teachers who search out better and new methods are the ones who will make it. A good teacher needs to be able to work with everyone. All teachers face stress. It is important to be able to deal with everything that is thrown at you when you walk through your classroom doors. There are so many chances for stress within a classroom that an excellent teacher has to be able to bring it in control. If you cannot manage stress quite well, then teaching may not be the right job for you.

We all know that exercise is good for your health. But some kinds of exercise may be better than others. Running, for example, may help to protect against heart disease and other health problems. Running may also help you live longer.

Recently, researchers studied more than 55,000 adults. About a quarter of the adults have a good habit of running. The study found these runners were much healthier than non-runners. In fact, the runners lived, on average（平均）, three years longer than the non-runners.

Running may be good exercise, but it can be difficult on the body. Here are commonly shared ideas among fitness experts（健身專家） to lower the risk of injury（受傷） for people who are new to running.

⊙Take it easy.

Do not run too much, too soon or too fast. Most people get running injuries when they push themselves too hard. The body needs time to get used to increases in distance（里程） or speed.

⊙ Get good running shoes.

There is no single best shoe for every runner. You should find the shoe that offers the best fit and support for your feet. More importantly, you should have a new pair of shoes every 500 to 800 kilometers.

⊙Take good notes.

Take time after each run to write down notes about what you did and how you felt. Look for things that happen again and again. For example, you may find that your knees hurt when you run sometimes. But perhaps you feel great when you have a rest between running days. These notes will help you make the best plan for running.
