Dear editor,

I am not a good-looking boy and I'm not good at studying, either. Some people don't even want to talk to me. So I usually feel lonely. Sometimes I think that if I wanted to leave home, nobody would care. How can I stop feeling like this?

Peter Dear Peter,

Without knowing more about you, it is hard for me to give you some good advice.

But first, I am sure that you are wrong that nobody would care if you left home. What about your parents? And other family members? It seems that you are very sad. You'd better go to see a doctor or talk to your parents. They will be able to help you.

Secondly, I'm sure there is someone in your class who feels lonely, too. You never know how other people feel inside. Try to m ake friends with them.

Or you may join a club to meet new people and to keep yourself busy. Yo u need to find happiness in yourself. Write a list of all the good things about yourself, learn to like yourself, and then others will see your confidence and like you, too.

阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，补全表格中所缺的信息。每空最多填写三个单词

The idea of Mother ’s Day is a very old idea. It was started by the ancient （古老） Egyptians (埃及人),who celebrated(庆祝) a day to honour (向……表示敬意) Isis, the mother of the pharaohs. The early Christians(基督教徒) celebrated a day to honour Mary, the mother of Jesus.

Later, English Christians celebrated to honour all mothers. This English holiday was called “Mothering Sunday ”.When the English came to America, they did not have time for Mothering Sunday, so the holiday was not celebrated in America. In 1914,the U.S passed a law （法律） which designated(规定) the second Sunday in May as Mother ’s Day to honour the mothers who had lost sons in war.

Today, Mother ’s Day is celebrated in many other countries for all mothers. In Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Mother ’s Day is celebrated on the same day as in the United States —the second Sunday in May. Children give their mothers cards, gifts, and flowers. Schools plan Mother ’s Day ’s special activities.

In China, the holiday is celebrated to show the respect(尊重) the Chinese have for the old people, and the love they have for their parents. Ten top mothers are chosen by the government. People all over the country try different ways to help mothers who are poor. (1)_______________________
