Moms take care of their children's life and dads bring home food and make the family rules. These are the roles moms and dads fall into when they become parents and it's common among all cultures. But times change and parents' roles seem to be changing, too. More women are bringing home food by having full－time jobs and men are taking care of their children at home.
The Chinese TV show Where are we going, Dad? provides a closer look at the changing roles of dads in modern family life. The show follows the adventures(冒险经历) of five celebrity(名人) dads who take trips with their young children (aged 4 to 6) and try to complete a set of tasks. It shows how young dads are trying hard to find the best way to raise their children and keep a closer relationship with them. Young dads no longer want to be cold.
Psychologists(心理学家)say that a strong fatherly influence(影响) is important in a child's development. Fathers teach their children skills and encourage them to try new things. They also give them a sense of safety. A child learns that if something goes wrong, he or she can depend on his or her dad to help fix it. The psychologists also say that without a dad, a child is more possible to drop out of school and get into trouble.
A mother's love is important, and so is a father's love. Chen Mo, a psychology professor says, "It takes both parents to raise a child. Children have different needs at different ages and this needs to be considered by both parents."
When you hear Westerners(西方人) say "Drop in anytime(随时来玩)." or "Come and see me soon.", you should realize that it doesn't mean you are welcome to come over to their house anytime. It's wise to telephone before visiting someone.
Never accept an invitation unless you really plan to go. You may refuse by saying, "Thank you for inviting me, but I may not be able to come." If you are unable to come after accepting the invitation, be sure to tell those who invite you in advance(提前) that you will not be there.
When you have accepted the invitation to a party or a dinner, it is polite(有礼貌的) to bring small gifts with you, such as bottles of drink, flowers and chocolate. Sometimes Westerners may take you out to dinner in a restaurant and it does not necessarily mean that he is going to pay the bill at the end of the meal. He might want you to "go Dutch", which means each person pays his own bill.

We know
the mosquito (蚊子) very well. Mosquitoes fly everywhere. They can be found almost all
over the world. There are more than 2,500 kinds of mosquitoes in the world.
No one likes the mosquito. But the mosquito
may decide that she loves you. She? Yes, she. It's true that male mosquitoes don't
bite (咬) and only female mosquitoes
bite because they need blood to lay eggs. They are always looking for people they
want to bite. If a female mosquito likes what she finds, she bites. But if she doesn't
like your blood, she will turn to someone else for more delicious blood. Next time
when a mosquito bites you, just remember you are chosen. You're different from the
others!
If the mosquito likes you, she lands on
your body without letting you know. She bites you so quickly and quietly that you
may not feel anything different. After she bites, you will have an itch (痒) on your body because
she puts something into your blood. By the time the itching begins, she has flown
away.
And then what happens? Well, after her delicious
dinner, the mosquito feels tired. She just wants to find a place to have a good
rest. There, on a leaf or a wall, she begins to lay eggs, hundreds of eggs.
