It seems that everywhere around the world, people are spending more time on work and less time with their families and friends. People are 1 than ever before!
In the past in many countries, the father worked and the mother stayed at home, took care of the children, and did the shopping, cooking and cleaning. Now, in most of the families, parents need to work on weekdays, so they both have to do the shopping and cleaning in their free time. Parents don't have much time with their 2 . However, they often had time in the past.
These days, many children come home from school to an empty apartment or house. Lots of children spend many hours each day sitting in front of the television. Even the families are together, it is common for family members to do things by themselves. For example, they watch programs on their own TVs in different rooms, they use the Internet, they3 friends on the telephone, and they do other activities by themselves.
Isn't it strange? Thanks to technology (科技), people are able to communicate so 4 with people far away, but sometimes they don't communicate with people in their own homes.

One day, I picked up my daughter Lingling from school and went to the supermarket for a few things. I was hoping to be in and out quickly.
I found a short line with just one person in front of me. It was an old woman, and she was paying for her things with only coins(硬币). After a long day at work, I thought the woman was very terrible.
But then I watched a young salesman. He helped her count her coins, ever so kindly taking them from her shaking hands. He repeatedly said to her, "Yes, ma'am(女士)."When she asked if she had enough money to buy a bag, he told her she did. Then he walked over two lines and got one for her. This salesman wasn't angry at all. He was patient and kind.
As I was watching him, I saw Lingling was, too. I realized my daughter was learning an important lesson from a stranger.
When the woman was finished, the salesman began ringing up my things and thanked me for my patience(耐心). I thanked him, too. I found the manager and told him about the salesman's kindness and patience.
Then we left the supermarket with a full basket, but also with a heart full of thankfulness for such an important lesson.

Pandas live in the forests and mountains of Southwest China. They're popular with people all around the world. They are certainly a treasure of our country. Then how about their dung(粪便)? Is it thrown away? No, it is treasures, too. How?
The panda keeper provides an adult panda with about 25 kilos of bamboo every day. Of that, the panda will eat about eleven kilos— the most delicious parts. Because the panda can't digest(消化) all the bamboo completely, its dung includes much undigested bamboo. Can people make use of it? It seems impossible for many people. However, someone turned it into paper successfully.
"In my opinion, it's a great achievement," a panda keeper says. "In the past, we didn't think the dung was useful, so we just threw it away like rubbish. But now workers come and take the dung away. They use the dung to make paper. They also make notebooks and bookmarks. It is also good for the environment."
However, the paper doesn't sell well at the Panda Base. It is not popular with tourists. Most of them won't buy it after they visit the Panda Base. "A box of paper is 43 Yuan," They said. "That's quite expensive." If you see the paper at the Panda Base, will you buy it?
Pandas are popular with people all over the world and they area treasure in our eyes. But do you know their dung is also treasures? An adult panda only eats less than half of the 25 kilos of bamboo from its keeper a day. The panda can't digest all the bamboo, so the panda's dunga lot of undigested bamboo. People find the dung is useful and turn it into paper. It's also environmentally friendly. However, mostdon't want to buy the paper because of the high price. As a result, the paper doesn't sell well as the Panda Base. |
With the development of the technology,people's life has changed a lot.In the past,connecting(联络) with friends meant spending time with them in person(亲自). Today,most young people like to connect with their friends online better.They think it is a good way to keep in touch with(与……保持联系) their friends.However,experts worry that many young people are so busy connecting with friends online that they may lose their real﹣world friendships(友谊).
Technology hurts friendships.When we communicate with our friends in front of a screen,it's easier to misread their tones(语调) or body languages.We might think friends are smiling while they're actually upset.A friend might send a text message as a joke that says,"You're the worst friend!"But our feelings might be hurt because we think he's serious. —Andy |
Technology doesn't hurt friendships.In fact,it can make them stronger.My best friends live in France where I used to live.The last time I met them in person was three years ago.But I talk to them online every week.It feels like they're right there with me.Without technology,there wouldn't be close friends anymore. —Anna |
Staying connected online is not enough to build true friendships.Spending time together face﹣to﹣face is also quite important.During the hard times,people don't need someone who likes their pictures or posts.What they really need is someone who can offer them help.
Eating is important to everyone. But not many people have time to think about what to eat."Fast food is easy," says Sarah Hudson, fourteen-year-old high school student from America. She is enjoying her lunch at McDonald's. "It is quick and delicious."She eats fast food twice a week. Most Americans know that fast food isn't good them.But it seems that they just can't give it up. In fact, more and more people are eating fast food, and 96% of American school children know McDonald's and KFC. It's no surprise that children getting heavier because they love eating French fries. In America, 33% of them are too heavy. That makes it hard for them to move around, go upstairs and even breathe. If they go on eating like this, maybe they will have health problems later in life.
