Run for Class President
Two months ago, when our class election(选举) started, so I felt it easy to win. But I was1that people would feel bad for me if I lost.
I was busy preparing in the following week. My plan wasn't to make promises to do things I couldn't2but to show my class why I wanted to be the president. I put up my posters in hallways and in the classroom. I also spent three hours writing my speech, saying that I was the one they could turn to whenever they had a problem. Since I was3prepared, I felt that my chances of winning were strong.
However, when I gave my speech on Election Day, the response(反应)wasn't what I had 4. Few people actually listened. When it was my opponent's(对手的) turn, everyone was screaming(尖叫) his name. His speech was short, 5all to the point. By then, I realized I should have made6 shorter and clearer.
It was obvious(明显的) who would7. For the rest of the day, I felt like it was over. I wanted to just go home and cry, but I made it through.
My prediction was right: I didn't win.
The next day, people were still talking about the8. I just pretended(假装) not to hear. But later, things got better. People9about the election and talked to me just as they did before. I don't regret putting time and energy10the election because I've learned that things aren't always going the way I expect. And moments of failure like this build character一since then I've learned to face disappointment and grown stronger.
There is a king in the palace. Every year, he fixes his palace to make it look better than before. One day, the king says, I must make the palace perfect(完美的). Everyone in my country will praise it. " After a month, the king asks many people to come to the palace and talk about their ideas.
"This is a perfect palace, " say many people. But only a tall man doesn't say anything.
The king wants to know why this man keeps quiet. So he asks, "Is not my palace perfect?"
The man answers, "My dear king, your palace is very beautiful. But it isn't perfect. A palace is perfect because the people inside are perfect. You spend too much time making the palace perfect. Why not spend some time making yourself a perfect king?"
The king thinks a lot about it. He thanks the man for his words. After that, he never tries to(尽力)make the palace perfect again.

Families aren't families the way they used to be. A lot of families have broke down. If husband and wife have problems with their marriage, they no longer stay together. And mothers used to stay at home and take care of their children, but now everyone's working. No one has time to look after children at home.
And the cars! No one walks any more: everyone drives. We used to walk five miles to school every day, even in winter. But now they don't. And in school. the children don't have to think any more.

When Sean Aiken bought a bike helmet (头盔), he never thought it would help him so soon. Only a week later, it saved his life. He was hit by a car while riding home from school in Tucson, Arizona. His bike was broken into pieces in the accident. But Sean was alive. His helmet protected him from serious head injury (伤)."I used to think helmets were unnecessary. I thought I would never get hut," Sean said. "But it can and will happen to you if you're not careful." Sean later spoke before the Tucson City Council (委员会) about the need of bike-helmet laws. This led to a new Arizona law that requires people under the age of 18 to wear a bike helmet while cycling.
Fifteen-year-old Mike Jones of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, knows about safety. Two years ago, he was seriously hurt in a car accident. Mike hurt his head badly when he was thrown from a van. "I don't know why I didn't wear a safety belt that day. Now I always wear it" Mike said. Today, he can still think of that experience. "I used to love sports, but I can't do them anymore. I can't risk getting another serious injury." he said.
Like Mike, many people around the US are becoming more safety-wise. "Parents can't watch kids every minute. Kids must know how to be safe. It's their control and power," says Susan Gallagher, the director of the Safety Network.
New technology is also helping to prevent injuries. More people than ever before use products such as fire alarms in their houses and seat belts in their cars. Most cyclists know that they should use bike helmets. New laws, such as the bike-helmet law Sean Aiken helped pass are also making more people use these products. The number of serious injuries caused by car accidents and fires has gone down over the years.
Kids are taking actions to help prevent injuries. Like Sean Aiken and Mike Jones, they know that safety works.
