He doesn't listen to his teachers in class and he (几乎不)ever finishes his homework on time. He doesn't help do (家务). He always plays football or uses the (因特网) when he has free time. Sometimes he watches (电视).
He can't pass the exams. Mr. King has little time to stay with Mike (在一起), so he doesn't know anything about his studies, One day Miss Read, Mike's teacher, (打电话) Mr. King. On the telephone she told him all about the boy's studies. She wanted him to try to help his son at home. (然而), when the man heard this, he didn't feel very happy.
Mr. King gave Mike a telling off (责备), but soon felt sorry for it. The next morning, before Mike went to school, he said to him," (学习) hard and I'll buy you a car when you pass the exam next year,"
Another term was over. Mike didn't get good (分数). Mr. King asked his sun, "You don't pass the exam again, Mike. What did you do this term?" "I learned how to (驾驶) a car, Dad," answered the boy.
Life is short, so you have to make the most of it. Did anybody tell you that? (或许) they just said "YOLO" to you. It stands for "You Only Live Once", and is a very popular phrase on the (互联网).
Having a YOLO attitude(态度) means that you make the (大多数) of every day. It means you enjoy your life, because you only get one. Someone who has a YOLO attitude is always open to doing new and fun activities.
Now, thanks 10 a US study, YOLO might be more (比) just a popular saying. A study found it might be (更健康的) to have a YOLO attitude!
A research team did an experiment (实验) with two (组) of students from different US universities. One group pretended(假装) they . (只有) had 30 days left before moving to a new city. They did lots of activities and (度过) time with people they loved. In other words, they had a YOLO lifestyle. Another group went on living (他们的) normal lives.
At the end of the experiment, the students did a survey to find out how happy they were. It (显示) that the first group were much happier.
The study shows that being active and making close friendships are important for us to enjoy our lives.
It is very important to stay healthy. I have a neighbor. She is an old lady, She is (几乎不) ill. She reads newspapers and learns something new on the (互联网). I often see her do taijiquan in the morning and learn (摇摆) dance in the evening. Last week a reporter from a TV (节日) asked how she kept so young and healthy. She answered with a smile, "I have a secret of staying young and (健康). It is quite easy. Keep your remind active. Learn one new thing (两次) a week. Try to do different kinds of (家务) and do sports as often as you can, Don't think you are too old to go back to school. I know a man. He entered a medical (大学) when he was 70 years old, He studied there for years. Some people may say staying(年轻) is easy only for those who live in the future. In fact, no matter how old you are, you can make it."
Please tell the (故事) to your family. It will be a good start to follow the lady's example. I hope all people will stay young and healthy.

Today Siena is famous for (保持) its "old face". For example, its city walls, which helped keep the city (安全的) in the past, are hundreds of years old now and look almost the same as before, Also, you can see many old (建筑物) at the Piazza del Campo, the most important meeting place of the city. (很少) things have really changed in this center of public life for hundreds of years. Now people still go to the open space for sharing news, (购物), or playing sports. There is one more thing that helps keep Siena's old face: cars cannot enter the city (大多数) of the time.
Siena is old, but it's (绝妙的). People are welcome to visit this beautiful city and walk into the past.
