Cindy, Jenny and Mary are talking about what a good friend should be like.
Cindy: I think a good friend should be honest （诚实的）. That's more important than any other thing. And it is where a friendship starts. If a friend isn't honest, he may lose his friends' trust.
Jenny：I think a good friend has to be generous （慷慨的）. Here being generous doesn't mean he has to give his friends his lunch money or his clothes. It means he should share his ideas and feelings with his friends. In fact, his friends can know him better in this way.
Mary： In my opinion, a good friend should understand his friends. When there's something wrong between him and his friends, he must put himself in his friends' place and think more about his friends.

Only mother's love is true love. It gives everybody everything all her life. When you are still a baby, mother takes good care of you as possible as she can. In your walking hours she always holds you in her arms. When you are ill, she looks after you day and night and forgets about herself. When you are growing up day by day, she feels very happy. When you are old enough to go to school, mother still looks after you all the time.
On cold winter days she always tells you to put on more clothes. She always stands in the wind waiting for you to come back from school. When you go to school without breakfast, she always feels worried about you at home. She usually knows about your study and spends much money on your school things. When you do well in school, you will see the brightest smile on her face.
Mother is always ready to give everything she has to her children, not to return. What true love that is in the world! We'll remember mother's love forever!
What do you want to be when you grow up? People like to ask their children the same question. Jake Schclenschiager from the US had different answers to the question when he was a little boy. However, he had his final answer at the age of 12. After seeing his father doing weightlifting (举重)，he had a big dream —he wanted to be the strongest kid in the world. Jake told us "Like father, like son". He also said, "My father is super strong, so I want to be as strong as my dad."
To make his dream come true, Jake trained (训练)very hard. When his friends were playing games, he spent his time on weightlifting. After two years of hard work, the boy was able to lift more than twice his own weight. Now he trains every day and hopes to lift (举起) more weights.
Jake has talked about his love of weightlifting and his dream to many people. However, not everyone is excited about it. Some people are worried that too much training may be bad for the growing of the boy's body. Jake's parents say they don't worry about their son's health because he gets regular check-ups (体格检查)and good training.
