【解析】【主旨大意】关爱父母不仅在于给了父母多少钱，买了什么礼物，还在于从小处时时想到父母。“我”的朋友考虑到妈妈年迈，不能很快地走到电话旁，而第一次拨号提醒，第二次再与妈妈通话。多么可亲可爱的人。

1.此处为了避免重复，而使用了do 来代替“I think of my parents”

2. 根据上下文，可知“”母亲节我给妈妈买礼物，父亲节我也给爸爸买礼物。

3. 由下文“拨号”可知是打电话。

4. 由下文可知“我”的朋友考虑到妈妈年迈，不能很快走到电话旁。所以此处应为，大约15分钟后，其它不符合常理。

5.由后面朋友的介绍，可知此处作者对朋友的做法感到不解，想问她“为什么拨两次号”。

6.“我的父母年迈，反应慢”。

7.“我想给他们足够的时间来接电话”

8. “她总是时时处处考虑到她的父母”

9.“你想成为一个好孩子吗”

10. “请从每一个处境考虑你的父母，而不要指在特殊的日子想到”
