Every home should have its family rules. There is a book about family rules called Rules of Love. It says family rules help to make home a better place. In our family, we tape(粘贴) our rules on the wall of the living room. I got them from a friend six years ago, and these rules help us a lot over the years. We tell our children that the family rules follow them wherever(无论何处) they go. These are not just rules for them to follow at our house.

Rules come in different words. But good rules are all easy to understand. And it is important for the children to remember and follow the rules. So don't have too many rules for your children. For younger children, parents can use pictures to tell them about the rules. Here are some examples(例子):

* Sit down to eat.

* No fighting. No name-calling(骂人).

* Don't ask for things in the supermarket.

Mr White works in an office. He likes (read) in bed when he is at school. It is bad for his (eye) and now he is short sighted. But he doesn't want anybody else know about it and he never wears a pair of glasses. It often brings him some trouble.

One winter morning he (go) to a village school on business. He gets off a bus at a stop in small town. Then he has to walk there. The road to the village isn't smooth (平坦的). There are stones here and there. He falls over (跌倒) several times it makes his clothes very dirty. At last he gets to the village. Suddenly (突然) it begins to blow (strong) and it gets much colder. His hat is blown off while he is (look) for the school. He has to run after it but he can't catch it. He (not know) why his hat runs into a house. And then he runs into the house too.

A big woman stops (he) by shouting angrily, "What are you running after my hen for?"
