Have you heard about “Survival (生存) Holidays”? “Survival Holidays” is for children to go into the lonely place for exciting activities. Now about 1,100 companies are allowed to(被允许) take children into the great outdoors without their parents.
The reason why people like “Survival Holidays” is that they think being close to nature is good for children. Many children in big cities spend all time watching TV and playing computer games. “Survival Holidays” gives them an important change.
Is “Survival Holidays” a wonderful idea? Maybe it is. Children need more free time to play. They need to be left on their own, without adults(成年人) disturbing (打扰) them. Parents care too much about their children. They like to see the children being busy with activities that are controlled by adults, but children don't know what to do when they are in danger. Even something like crossing a small river seems to be a hard challenge. Children are not comfortable with danger. Even small danger like getting their feet wet or falling down seems very terrible to them.
Many people think the survival activities are good for children. Even years later, they will still remember what they have learned. Some have learned to stay calm in different times. Some have learned how to keep safe. Others have learned how to work in a team. All these skills will help them a lot in their lives.
Mr. White lost his job last week. It was difficult for him to find another 1. Somebody told Mr. White that he 2 get a job in a town two hundred kilometers 3, so he decided to get there 4. He went to the railway station and got 5 a train. He was the only one in the train. The train started. Suddenly, a man came in 6 a gun (枪) and said to him. “Your money 7 your life?” Mr. White was afraid and sat there without 8 up.
“I 9 any money,” Mr. White answered.
“Then why are you so afraid of me?” The man asked angrily.
“Because I 10 you were the conductor (售票员). I didn't buy a ticket,” answered Mr. White.
My problems started after I went to a boarding(寄宿) school. I was only 14, and at first I missed my family a lot. I often called them and cried on the phone. But after two weeks, I found I enjoyed being with my classmates at school. I had many friends who were boys. I thought of them as my best friends—— but only friends. I never guessed my friendships with boys would become a problem.
Then, three months later, my friends told me that some teachers and girls said I was hanging out with (与… 混在一起) boys all day long in order to get attention (注意力) from them. Seven months after that, the head teacher Mr. Wang asked the class to choose some students to join the Student Union. I thought I could win for I was doing well in school. I came first in math and English exams. A week later, the list came out and it didn't include me. I was sad.
Mr. Wang came to me and said, “Don't be sad. I know you're excellent! Maybe you are a little distant from the girls in our class. They don't know much about you, so some of them didn't choose you. It doesn't matter. Do your best to get along well with everyone and I think you'll make it next time.”
