How many friends do you have? If you have many, you're lucky. If you have a few good friends, you're more than lucky. Our best friends can make our lives richer. They can teach us things. They can also challenge us to be better people. In a word (简而言之), they are very important to us.
Good friends can help us stay healthy, too. When we are sick, they often take care of us and support us. Without friends, we feel lonely. Loneliness can be as harmful as, smoking. 15 cigarettes(香烟) a day. So, build up your circle of friends and keep them close.
Good friends make us more confident. Sometimes we feel bad and have doubts about ourselves. When you feel this way, reach out to your most trusted friends. They'll be there to cheer you up. They will let you know how amazing you are.
Good friends push us to be better people. They challenge us to do better and be better. What's more, a friend's good qualities can influence us: For example, if they are friendly and hard-working, you are more likely to be friendly and hard-working, too.
Archer is a seven-year-old boy in Australia. One day last year, he woke up in the middle of the night and walked into his mum's bedroom. What he saw really frightened him: His mum was lying on the floor. Archer tried to wake her up, but he couldn't. Anastasia Barros, Archer's mum, has diabetes (糖尿病). Her blood sugar level had dropped so low that night that she had passed out.
Fortunately, Ms. Barros had spoken to Archer about calling Triple Zero (0-0-0). In Australia, people dial this emergency number to call for police, fire or emergency (突发事件), medical services. Archer's father was away on business, so it was up to the boy to save his mum. Archer immediately reached for his mum's phone. He tried to be calm and dialed“0-0-0."
"Hi, it's just me and mum," Archer told .the call-taker." Mum has passed out and is now lying on the floor!" The boy listened carefully to the call-taker's instructions. He turned his mum's head back to open her airway (气道). Soon, the ambulance arrived and sent Ms. Barros to the hospital.
Archer is not just his mum's hero; he has also been named a Triple-Zero Hero by the local emergency services. The boy said he was very proud to be awarded for his clear thinking during the emergency.
Marty Smyth, the manager of the local emergency services, said it was very important to teach children when and how to call Triple Zero. Archer agreed. “By knowing how to get help in an emergency, all kids can help their mothers," he said.
One of the most important moments in a parent's life is the celebration of their child's birth. However, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, even' close relatives aren't able to join the celebration in person: New parents in Japan have found a way to solve this problem. They are sharing the joys of welcoming a new family member with bags of rice.
These rice bags are not ordinary ones, however. Each of them is in the shape of a baby wrapped (包裹) in a blanket. This“"baby" weighs the same as the newborn at birth. There is a photo of the baby, on the front of each bag. The bags can alw relatives to imagine the feeling of holding the real' baby in their arms.
In fact, the practice of sending rice baby bags is not a new one. Naruo Ono, the owner ofa rice shop in Japan, got the idea in 2007. He was a new parent at the time. Some of his relatives lived too far away to come and see his newborn son. He then decided to send them bags of nice that looked like the baby.
The idea was not a big success then, but COVID-19 has given it another chance Ono has started receiving orders from across Japan since the pandemic began. The bags have created a new problem, though: People haven't been able to decide what to do with their lovely “rice babies" once the moment is over.

After some investigations (调查), Zhang learned that they were from very 4 families.

I LOVE SHANGHAL I think I fell in love with the city even before I came here. In the Western mind, Shanghai (think) of as both strange and beautiful. It was known as the "City of Adventurers" and the "Pearl of the East." And when I arrived, I wasn't disappointed." western visitors can see, the city is really shining as a beautiful pearl(珍珠).
That was many years ago, but my love of Shanghai has not grown (little); it has grown more. The city that interests me so much has never stopped improving and it is now ranked among the ten best cities in the world. And the Shanghai government hopes (make) it the best city in the world by 2035. But what makes a city the "best"?
I don't know you agree with me or not. First of all, it has to have a good economy(经济) where young people can find good jobs. It also has to be a healthy place with a good environment. And, third, it has to be a place where people can relax and enjoy themselves. Most of all, a great city has to have great people.
