A couple had a son eleven years after they married. They were a loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eye. When the boy was around four years old, one day the father was very tired after work so he asked his wife to pick up their son. The mother, who was very busy in the kitchen, totally forgot about it.
Later the boy lost his way on the street. When the son was found missing, the mother hurried to look for him, but she didn't find him. The mother felt very sad and didn't know how to face her husband.
When the father went to the police station after hearing that the son was missing, he looked at his wife and said just four words. What do you think the four words were? The husband just said "I love you, darling"
The son was missing. If he had picked him up earlier, this would not have happened. There is no point in blaming(责备)anyone. His wife had also lost her only child. What his wife needed at that moment was comfort and understanding from her husband. That is what the husband gave his wife. Several weeks later, with the help of the police, the couple finally found their lost son. The family's relationship became stronger over that time.
Sometimes we spend lots of time asking who is to blame. We miss many chances to give each other support and let each other feel the warmth of human relationships. Get rid of all your unwillingness to forgive(原谅), selfishness and you will find the world is much more wonderful.

In America there are many more cars than in China. Maybe the number of cars in California is the same as the number in China. But there are fewer traffic jams and accidents in America than in China. We hardly see traffic police in the street, but all drivers obey strictly traffic rules, and people hardly find that someone does not obey traffic rules in the street.
About American traffic rules, there are many better terms, such as:
Stop line:There are stop lines in all crossing without traffic light(some have two stop lines and others have four stop lines)；all cars must stop while meeting the stop line.
Traffic lights:There are traffic lights in the crossing of the road. Cars may almost turn every direction；the traffic lights can give signals step by step including U—rum. There is a kind of middle lane of turning left. When a driver wants to turn left in the road. he may enter into the middle lane (车道)of turning left and give a signal of turning left. when he thinks it's safe, he may turn left.
Specific item:Such as parking, there are three kinds of lines(its colors are white, blue or red)in the roadside. Every line may park different kinds of cars. There are many streets in some residential areas(住宅区), and no car can park at any time or any period of time.
About the priority(优先权)of passengers and cars:At any case, passengers have the
priority to cars. But only after passengers have passed the road and gotten the top of sidestep, cars may go ahead. In general, traffic rules of America are very specific, convenient and safe.

It is true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves:
After two years ‘study and live abroad, most of the students can speak English very well.
The students become more confident and knowledgeable, some of them even graduate from the most famous universities in the world, So they are welcomed by many companies.
But there are problems that should be considered:
Students must spend a lot of time learning another language.
There are reports about Chinese students abroad running into an ocean of difficulties and giving up finally. When they have to take care of themselves, it is harder for students to learn well at the same time. For most Chinese parents, the cost of studying abroad is very high. But is it worth it?
So when you wonder which country is better to study in, think it twice.
