Parents can't solve every problem for us. We should have enough life skills to 1 the problems waiting for us in the future.
This is 2 our country tries to do now: Helping more students have working spirit. To help us understand the 3 of hardworking spirit education, the government released a guideline (发布指导方) recently.
The guideline requires students to learn 4 life skills and form good working habits through such education, and they should 5 work.
The government has always tried to help students 6 the importance of working hard. But many 7 do not value the importance of working hard and are uninterested 8 doing so. Only 22 percent of primary and middle school students help their parents with everyday housework.
School and families play an important 9 in teaching students about the value of working hard, the guideline 10 . Every week, primary and middle schools should 11 students with hardworking spirit classes. They can also organize activities to give students real-world work 12 . For example, they can teach children how to plant trees on Tree-Planting Day.
As children's 13 teachers, parents should also encourage children to do housework. Students should learn more life skills, which include cooking. washing their clothes and 14 their rooms.
We'll 15 grow up someday, leaving our parents and facing the challenges in life. If we learn enough life skills, we can depend on ourselves.
Last month we asked 1055 students in our city about their living habits. They are teenagers between 13 and 16 years old. Our questions were about exercise, eating fruit and vegetables, and doing eye exercises. The results are shown below:
More and more students pay attention to their health. However, it's difficult for them to exercise quite often because of hard schoolwork. Some students don't have any time to exercise. The survey shows that most of them eat fruit and vegetables very often. Most students do eye exercises every day, which improves the situation of short-sighted (近视眼的) students.
Experts suggest that students should balance their exercise and diet. Parents should manage to spend more time with their children going out to nature to exercise and enjoy themselves. It is good for both the mind and the body.

Kitts is one of "Tomorrow's people"—people who have electronic body parts. She has an electronic arm. One year, Kitts lost her arm in a truck accident. She felt angry and sad. She couldn't accept it. But then she heard a piece of good news that a doctor could use her remaining nerves (神经) in her shoulder to fix an electronic arm.
Before long, the doctor decided to move Kitts's nerves to different areas of her top arm. For months, the nerves grew and moved deeper into their new homes gradually. After three months she started feeling a little painful. The doctor helped her a lot to reduce (减少) pains. A month later, her pains disappeared and she got her new electronic arm. An engineer worked with Kitts to connect the computer programs with her real movements more and more closely.
Today, Kitts's arm is great, but it's not yet perfect as normal people. She wants feelings in her hands. For example, she needs to feel whether something is smooth or not. She also needs feelings to do one of her favorite things—drinking coffee. One time at a coffee shop, she, together with her friends, wanted to drink coffee as they talked happily. However, her hand kept closing until it broke the coffee paper cup. "One day I'll be able to feel things with it, and clap my hands to the songs my kids are singing…" she said with hope and pride.

A long ride in the countryside could help you to clear your mind, or de-stress. But it's not only about your body and mind-but there are also some plus sides for your wallet's health.
Cycling can be a great way to commute(通勤) or get about town. If you do drive into work, sometimes finding somewhere to park can be a tough problem, but finding somewhere to chain your bike up can be much simpler.

It can help you to reduce your carbon footprint. Not pumping out poisonous gases into the atmosphere is better for the planet and your own environment.
So, whether people want to cycle for their health, to get about town, for their wallet, for the environment, or a combination of all of them-the popularity of cycling is on the rise.
A. And its advantages aren't just physical, but mental as well. B. Cyclists face neither of these problems. C. You save money on fuelor train fees by cycling. D. And many still keep this skill with ease into adulthood. E. Finally, cycling can also be good for the environment. |
It was two months before Christmas when nine-year-old Rose told her father and me that she wanted a new bike. Her Snow White bike was just too old to ride, and it needed repairing as well.
As Christmas came closer, her dream for a bike seemed to disappear, for she didn't mention it again. We were busy buying some beautiful storybooks, a doll house, a holiday dress and toys.
Then much to our surprise, on the evening of December 24, she said she terribly wanted a bike more than anything else.
Then we didn't know what to do. It was just too late for us to make her dream come true. So there was no time to buy the "right bike" for our little girl. Thinking that we were parents who would make their child unhappy, we tried to deal with the problem.
Suddenly my husband came up with an idea. "What if I make a little bike out of clay and write a note that she could trade in the model bike for a real one?" "Perfect!" I shouted. So he spent the next five hours carefully working with clay to make a small bike.
On Christmas morning, we were so excited to wait for our daughter to open the little box with the beautiful red and white clay bike and the note. She opened it and read the note loudly. She looked at me and her father, and said, "So, does it mean I can trade in this bike for a real one?" Smiling, I said, "Yes." Rose had tears in her eyes when she replied, "What a wonderful surprise I have! I will never trade in this beautiful bike that Daddy made me. I prefer to keep it rather than get a real bike." At that moment, we would have bought her every bike on the earth.
My name is Linda. I'm my mother's (three) girl. When I was born, the doctor gently explained to my mother that my left arm was missing, below the elbow. Then she gave her some advice, "Don't treat her (different) from others. " And she did.
There are five girls in my family, and we all had to help out. Once when I was about seven, I
(come) out of the kitchen, "Mum, I can't peel (potato). I only have one hand. " "Get back to peel them, and don't ever use that asexcuse for anything again!"
Of course I could peel potatoesmy good hand and my other arm. "Jenny, if you try hard," she said, "you can do anything. "
Once in the second grade, each of us (teach) to race across the monkey bar (攀爬架). When it was my turn, I said no to the teacher. Some kids laughed. I went home crying.
However, the next afternoon Mum took me back to the school playground. "Now, pull up using your right arm. " She advised. She praised me I made progress. I'll never forget when I was crossing the bar, the kids were standing there with (they) mouths open.
It was the way with everything. Mum had the courage (face) anything. And she taught me I could, too.
