Three Things To Do Before You Are 18
Are you bored with your daily life? Here are some things you should try before you are 18, because after that it's a little late.
Learn to swim
This is so important, because it can save your life. If you can't swim well, you can't do water sports like water skiing and surfing. Even taking a boat trip will be dangerous for you.
Try at least one kind of team sports
Being a good team player is important. You can't just think of yourself. You have to work well with other people. Team sports can keep you fit and healthy, and they are also great fun. They usually let you have a good social life too — you'll go to lots of parties and make many friends.
Collect something
One of the best hobbies for under—18s is collecting things. You could collect stamps, or you could collect things that make you remember what you did, like cinema tickets or emails from friends.
What do you like to do in your free time? Baking is always my favorite thing to do. Last Sunday I felt like baking something, so I read through my cookbook and had a really good idea. I decided to bake a strawberry cake.
My mom went to the shop with Ollie to buy some strawberries. When they came back, I started to bake. It was fun, and Ollie was watching next to me. Of course, he wanted to help, so he was putting his little hands in my mixture（混合物）all the time.
We started fighting because I really couldn't work when a little noisy boy was next to me. I asked my mom to take him away from the kitchen.
Minutes later I put the cake into the oven. After some time, the kitchen was full of the smell of the cake. Soon the cake was baked and I had only one more thing to do. I needed to put sugar, water and strawberry juice together and then spread（涂）the mixture over the cake. I have to say, the cake was much more delicious than any cake I bought in the supermarket.
Lots of kids hate school, a new study found. Usually this kind of feeling doesn't last long. But what happens if you feel this way too much? School is a fact of life and getting a good education can help you build the kind of future life you want. So let's talk about school and what to do when you don't like it.
If you don't like school, the first step is to find out the reason. You might not like school because you don't have enough friends, or maybe you don't get along with your teacher. Sometimes it's a big problem with your classes and school﹣work. You may be getting farther and farther behind, and it may seem like you'll never catch up.
When you know why you don't like school, you can start taking steps to make things better. It's a good idea to talk to someone about your problems with school. Your mum, dad, teacher or school counselor（心理辅导员）will be able to help you. Another good idea is to write down your feelings about school in notebook. It's a great way to let out emotions（情绪）. Remember, you don't have to share what you've written with others.
Shenzhen was among the top four cities in the country in terms of the use of bicycles during the seven﹣day National Day holiday.
The top three cities were Beijing, Shanghai and Chengdu in Sichuan Province. The data（数据）also suggested that riding bicycles has become a new favored choice for people when going out. During the National Day holiday, the amount of carbon emissions（碳排放）saved by users of Mobike, a bicycle﹣sharing system, was nearly 10,000 tons. The total exercise helped riders burn calories as much as 57,000 bowls of rice. The peak（顶峰）of using bicycles was between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m., because of people's demand for shopping, entertainment and dining.
During the National Day holiday, a man in his 50s called Chen Luosheng, arrived in Shenzhen after cycling more than 500 days across the country.
Chen started his journey May 13th last year and had been through 31 provincial areas. Chen said that he not only enjoyed the country's beautiful scenery but also received help from strangers in different places during the trip. On Oct 6th, Chen arrived in Danzhou, Hainan Province. His next stop is Sansha City in Hainan.
New research suggests that climate change helped dogs develop from animals looking like cats to the way they are today. Scientists from Brown University in the USA believe that 40 million years ago, dogs were smaller and they looked like cats. They hid, ran after and killed other animals. As climate changed in the world, the physique 体型）and eating habits of dogs also changed. Thick forests that once covered North America started to become less thick as the earth became cooler.
The appearances of grassland made dogs have fewer places to hide to hunt for food. To get used to the environment, they changed their ways of hunting and slowly grew longer legs. The scientists studied how dogs have changed themselves by looking at the elbows（肘部）and teeth of 32 different species that lived from 2 million to 40 million years ago. The scientists said that the dogs' elbows greatly changed. Dogs from 40 million years ago had elbows that were more similar to those of cats. The function of the elbows was to allow the front paw（爪子）to catch what they could get and hold on to it. The elbows changed to allow dogs to become good runners and then they were able to run after other animals over long distances. Teeth in dogs also changed to be more useful. They became much stronger to be able to hold on to what they get.
①Dogs grew longer legs.
②Climate changed.
③Dogs changed ways of hunting
④Forests became less thick
