Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very 1 trying to make money in order to 2 the high tuition(学费)for my brother and me. I never hear them say " I love you", or see them send birthday 3 to each other. My father has a bad temper(脾气). When he's very tired from work, it is 4 for him to lose his temper.
One day, my mother was preparing dinner. I sat down 5 her.
"Mom, I have a question to ask you," I said after a while.
"What?" she replied, 6 doing her work.
"Is there love between you and Dad?" I asked her in a very low 7.
My mother stopped her work and 8 her head with surprise in her eyes. She didn't answer and went on cooking.
I was very worried 9 I thought I had hurt her. I didn't know what I should do. A few days later, my father suddenly got sick 10. My mother had to stay with him in the 11 for a month. After they were back, every day in the morning and dusk(黄昏), my mother helped my father walk slowly on the countr road. My father had never been so 12. It seemed they were the most harmonious(和谐的) 13.
"Dad, how are you 14 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 15 this kind of life." Reading his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.
Yao Beina was not only a popular singer but also an energetic and warm-hearted angel. She donated her corneas(眼角膜) to two men after her death.
Yao was born in a music family in September 1981 in Wuhan. She started to learn music at the age of 4, and she sang her first song on the stage when she was 9. Yao did quite well in singing, so she took part in the 13th Youth Singing Competition and won the first prize.
She became well-known to the pubic after making some songs for the hit TV drama The Legend of Zhenhuan(甄環传), and the mandarin version(中文版本) of Let It Go from Disney's Frozen(冰雪奇缘). In July 2013, she competed in The Voice of China Ⅱ and finally got the second place in Na Ying's team. She had won many music prizes.
Yao Beina was unlucky to be diagnosed(诊断) with breast cancer(乳腺癌). She had a successful operation(手术) in 2011. She has fought against the illness for about four years while keeping singing, but sadly she failed. Although she's gone, her fans will remember her beautiful voice and kindness forever.
A soap opera called "Tiger Mother and Cat Father" is popular in China now. The tiger mother is pretty strict with her daughter and the little girl is not allowed to watch TV or play computer games. On the other hand, she makes all efforts to buy the expensive house near the key school, in order to let her daughter have a better education. However, the cat father has an opposite view of how to raise their child. He gives her daughter more independence and doesn't make many rules for her. Which one is better, "Tiger Mother" or "Cat Father"?
In China, it seems that in each family, there is tiger mother and a cat father, even worse, some families have two tigers. Children can't decide anything for themselves. What's worse, Chinese mothers believe key school will bring a better future to their children. This soap opera fully shows us a common problem in China. And maybe it is the real reason why such kind of TV shows can get popular.
Whether the tiger mother or the cat father, respecting(尊重)children and growing together are the keys to family education. Confidence, kindness, honesty and independence are the most important qualities to develop a child, not the grades. Just like a poem said, "Educating children is like walking with a snail(蜗牛), and the steps are gentle and slow."
