It was a terrible day. I still remember that day when ' I stopped by Mrs. Nolan's house. She asked me if I would mind taking her dog Buster out for1 walk. A few minutes later, Buster and I were jogging2 toward the park. A big black dog suddenly appeared from out of nowhere. The big dog attacked Buster and tried 3 Buster's neck. The two dogs were biting each 4 . I was too scared to cry out for help. Thank goodness someone showed up just then. A boy about my age pulled the black dog off Buster. The black dog. 5 to him. He said he was really sorry and left with his dog.
Poor Buster6 badly. I told Mrs. Nolan 7 had happened. Then Mrs. Nolan and I drove Buster right over8 an animal hospital. Luckily, the doctor said Buster would be fine in a few 9 . I still felt it was my fault. Then I said sorry to Mrs. Nolan for it. However, she hugged and comforted me for the accident. Her kind words made me feel much10 .
Because of her kindness, I felt a lot lighter and kept a tolerant(宽容的) heart in the rest of my life from then on.
"Don't be what you used to be."The sentence is repeated many times in a book1 Green Eggs and Ham.
When I was little, my mom used to read the book to me. 2 I thought of it as a book about nice food. In fact, it's a fairy tale about a guy named Sam that wants another guy to 3 green eggs and ham. The other guy doesn't want to try them because he doesn't like them. The story is all about trying new things. It helps you keep an open4 .
I think it's very important to keep an open mind in life because it helps us to look at the world in a5 way. It opens us up to more possibilities in life.
I ever:did a6 among my students. Many students tell me this is. boring, or that is 7 . When I ask about studying English, they say it's boring. When I ask about the Spring Festival, they say it's boring. If you feel everything, is boring, you are not trying new things. You' re not8 your mind. The mind is like a muscle that must be exercised to grow and develop.Trying'new things is a great way to do it.
Doing special, personal, different, and interesting things is a good way to exercise the mind and develop new ways of9 the world around us.
So please try something new very often even if it is something10 like going to work in a new way, or trying a new kind of food. Let's make our life exciting!
What is bullying? |
Bullying is when someone makes you feel bad and hurts you again and again, you may easily lose confidence, lose trust in everyone around you or even get sick. Bullying can happen at school or out of school. It includes: * Calling people mean (刻薄的) names * Laughing at people * Telling lies about people * Taking someone's things without permission * Not letting someone play in a group * Hitting people Bullying also happens online and we call it cyber bullying. It includes: * Sending mean messages * Sharing photos without permission * Not letting someone be part of an online group. |
What can you do? |
If someone is mean to you, tell an adult that you know well and trust. For example, talk to a parent or a teacher. You can block(拉黑) the person who sends mean messages online. Ask an adult to help you. Don't reply. Talk to your parents or teachers or an adult that you know well if you see bullying or if you are worried about a friend. Say sorry if you are mean to someone. You can write a message or talk to the person. We can all help to say no to bullying. |
Recently, I was having a conversation with a friend of mine who had just come back from a trip to the United States. He was talking about his driving experience over there, and said,"Yes, it was fine. Once I got used to driving on the opposite side, it was no problem."So. why is it that people drive on different sides of the road in different parts of the world?
A few historical records show that the ancient world had left-moving traffic. Why was the left side? In the ancient world, people rode horses or carriages(马车). Well, who used horses the most:warriors who would always draw the sword(剑) with their right hands. This made it almost impossible for warriors to get on their horses from the right side. In Britain, in the 1700s, laws were passed to make traffic flow on the left side of the road, a rule that had to be followed. Britain took its left-side system to all its colonies(殖民地) in the world. As a result of this, countries in East Africa, the South Pacific and Southeast Asia practice this system to the present day. But it is different in the United States. It is said that right-side driving in the United States was heavily influenced by Henry Ford. The car that his company produced could only be driven on the right side of the road.
In the modern world, driving on the right side became more convenient.

There are many differences between Chinese teenagers and American kids. For example,American kids love to money by themselves. Chinese kids always ask their parents money. American parents think it is not to send their children to expensive private universities. Chinese parents. would do anything to help their children get into universities no matterexpensive they are.
At school, many American girls take part in sports, dancing and singing groupsChinese girls take part in study groups. Some American students think that the grade"B"is a gift while Chinese think that a"B"is very terrible. At home, most Chinese parents do almost everything for their children. As result, more and more teenagers in China find life more difficult their parents. Usually, American parents make their children go out to do part-time jobs in their free time or during weekends. Chinese parents seldom allow their children to while in the middle school during weekends.
In my opinion, Chinese teenagers shouldn't depend too much on parents.
How was your sleep last night? World Sleep Day fell on March 17 this year. How can we have healthy sleep? Take a look at these two tips.
◆Waking up naturally
Waking up to a ringing alarm is never fun. Studies showed that when you get"shocked"by the alarm, your breathing will go up from 16 to 24 breaths:per minute. Your heart will have 10more beats every minute. Your blood pressure will rise.
"This is a very unhappy way to start the day,"sleep scientist Whitney Roman told the online magazine Bustle. You'll feel worse if you fall back to get a few more minutes of sleep."This will mess up your body's natural sleep-wake cycle,"said Roman.
So, what should we do? Try to choose an alarm with softer and lower sounds. Or leave part of the curtains(窗帘) open—the rising sun will wake you up.
◆Sleep early, get up early
Some young people may go to bed late and get up late, such as sleeping from 2 am to 10 am.They think as long as they have 8 hours of sleep, everything will be fine.
But in fact, our bodies can tell time. They use light and temperature to do so. If we wake up too late, our bodies might feel stuck between sleep and being awake. That's why sometimes we feel even more tired after oversleeping.
