When a friend of yours is ill, and he goes to stay in hospital, you may think you have to go and visit him. It is good to call him on the phone before you go.
Remember the seven rules when you go to the hospital:
Do not visit him when you have a cold.
Do not stay over ten minutes. Five minutes is just right.
Do not smoke.
Do not talk loudly in the hospital.
Do not ask your friend about his sickness, but you can listen to what he wants to say.
Do not buy food for him before he asks you to do that.
Do not talk about things he can't do, but what he would like to hear.
Every year, a lot of visitors around the world go to Tibet (西藏). The best time to visit Tibet is from April to October.
Summer in Tibet is cool. It's not so hot or cold but there's much sunshine. If you go there, you have to take a pair of sunglasses.
In spring and autumn, it can be cold. It may be snowy at night, and it can be sunny and warm in the morning and afternoon. If you don't hate the cold weather.
It's very cold and windy in winter. People there always wear warm clothes. Not many people come to visit Tibet this time because of the bad weather. In fact, most visitors would like to travel to Tibet in summer. It's a good place for people to be away from the high temperature.

There was a tree in my garden. One day, two birds came to the tree and made a house for their three new born babies.
One morning, I heard the sound of the birds. I got out of my house and found two baby birds eating food on the ground. After a while, their parents came back. They brought food to the third baby bird. But they put it on the ground, far away from the bird. To get the food, the baby bird had to fly down. She was hungry, but she couldn't eat it, because she was very afraid and she couldn't fly down. To my surprise, her parents just stood there and did not do anything.
After about ten minutes, the third baby bird slowly went to the edge (边缘) of the nest (鸟巢) and finally flew out of the nest. She landed (着陆) safely on the ground and ate the food happily.
These birds taught me a lesson that day. We should depend on (依靠) ourselves to get what we want. 根据短文内容回答问题。
