    Several teenagers have spent the past vacation1volunteers in America. They2food to younger children, cleared up, and helped teachers as assistants(助理). The volunteers also helped children in their gym activities and science3.

    John is one of the many French students helping4families in Vietnam(越南). During the first trip, they5old people and children from poor families and taught them French. After a few months, John learned that6was hard for many people in the country to borrow money from the bank. “A little money from us could help them deal with their problems.

    “Teenagers are important and exciting part of our9. They should be given an opportunity(机会) to improve themselves10improving the world around us," the director said. “It allows the teen volunteers to see that they are needed and wanted, and have the duty.

    Do you know the famous Silk Road? The Silk Road was an ancient network of trade routes(路线) connecting the East and the West. People used to do business with others from different countries along these routes. Scientists believe people began to travel along the Silk Road centuries ago.

    By the time the Chinese silk trade became important in the world, the Silk Road had covered almost 6, 500 kilometers. It started from China and finally got to Rome. During the busiest time, the Silk Road attracted people from many different countries, such as China, Iraq, Turkey and Greece. All those travelled along the Silk Road to share goods, stories, ideas, languages and cultures.

    In modern times, the old Silk Road is still useful, but now people use trains instead of camels and horses to travel. They have realized the Silk Road is becoming more and more important among countries. So they, especially Chinese people, are trying to make better use of it. There is even a Silk Route Museum in Jiuquan, Gansu Province. In this way, China can protect the history of many countries.

    Life comes in a package. This package includes happiness and sadness, failure and success, hope and despair. Life is a learning process. Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person. With each passing day we learn to deal with various situations.

    Love plays a main role in our life. Love makes you feel wanted. Without love a person could become cruel. In the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who show us with love and care. They teach us what is right and wrong, good and bad. But we don't always care about it. It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands others' feelings.

    Happiness can bring people a peaceful mind. No mind is happy without peace. Sadness is the cause of the death of a loved one or the failure. But all of these things will pass away.

    Failure is the path to success. It helps us to touch the sky, teaches us to survive and shows us a special way. Success brings in money, pride and self- respect.

    Hope is what keeps life going. Hope makes us dream. Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour, because after every night there is a day. Tomorrow is unknown, for it could either be bright or dull. So what we can choose is to work hard today, so that we can enjoy a better tomorrow.

    These days, short videos have gotten millions of views online. Many people create and share short videos on popular video apps like Douyin and Kuaishou. You can even add music and special effects(特效) to your videos. The videos are 15 seconds to a few minutes long. They show people doing activities like cooking, exercising and singing.

    Teenagers especially enjoy these videos. More than 50 percent of students in Grade 7 and Grade 8 said they enjoy watching these short videos. About 47 percent have posted their own videos, according to a recent report.

    The videos let teenagers see funny and exciting things they wouldn't usually see. Many teens like to share the fun things they do with others as well. For example, a 12- year -old user has posted videos showing her learning jazz dance. This has won her many fans.

    However, the videos can also cause trouble. Some students spend too much time watching them and not enough time studying. Some videos have vulgar content that is not good for teenagers.

    To deal with this problem, Douyin added a new function(功能 ) in April,2018. It locks the app if someone uses the app for over two hours. In the same month, the government asked companies to control these apps well and get rid of bad videos.

    Mark Twain once said that everyone talked about the weather, but no one ever did anything about it. This was true in his day. But it may not be the case in today's world. In fact, humans have found many different ways to control the weather.

    Cloud seeding(云催化) is a kind of technology that can control rain. It is done by spreading chemicals like dry ice or silver iodide(碘化银) inside of clouds, either by rocket or airplane. Thus it change the amount of water inside the clouds, which helps to control the amount of rain, the time when it rains and even where it rains.

    This technology has helped to solve drought. It has also played a key role during important events. For example, China used cloud seeding in Beijing just before the 2008 Olympic Games in order to stop rain from falling during the event.

    However, scientists are still debating how to use this technology. On the one hand, it is believed that it might have side effects. For example, silver iodide may be bad for the environment. On the other hand, no two clouds are the same, so every new experiment introduces new conditions.

    Using lasers(激光) to change the weather has been tested in a lab, and it has been very successful on a small scale. Scientists are still trying to figure out how to use it in the real world, but it could be a new way to stop climatic change.

    In addition to controlling rain, scientists have also tried to find ways to weaken storms and hurricanes. Scientists at the US National Hurricane Centre Headquarters think it might be possible to control hurricanes by using lasers. Others believe that burning petroleum in a hurricane's path could slow storms down.
