l don't like doing chores. But I have no choice to do because doing chores is a rule in my family. When I come back from school, my mom1says, "Could you take out the rubbish?" or "Could you help me2cooking?" I know she is just trying to make me more independent and teach me how to3myself. But why does she make me4all the housework? Oh, I know I am the oldest and I should do the chores. But it's not5for me. My sister should do them, too.

Yesterday I did all the6again. My parents went to visit my aunt with sister in the morning. They left me7at home because I had to do my homework. After I finished my homework, I found it was really a8at home. They didn't do any chores. So I cleaned the rooms,9the dishes and watered the garden. Oh, I must look like a servant.

What should I do? I hate doing chores all alone. Could you give me10advice, please?

    It is the day of Big Bang's concert in Seoul Olympic Park Gymnastics Stadium. In front of the stadium, there are lots of rice towers from over 60 countries. The staff members(工作人员) are putting ribbons(丝带), photos and messages from fans(迷) around the rice towers to make them more beautiful. What's happening at the concert?

    Fan rice, usually in bags, is rice from fans. Fans of Korean pop (K-pop) stars give bags of rice to their favorite artists. Then, the artists donate(捐赠) the bags to the hungry. This started in 2011. Before that, fans usually sent food or flowers to their favorite stars. Now, more and more fan clubs are making these donations. They do this to show their love and support for their favorite stars.

    There are even businesses that buy and deliver(递送) bags of rice for fans. They buy rice from South Korean farmers. And then they make sure the rice is at places of the K-pop concerts. It is common that staff members in the business spend hours setting up towers with the bags of rice. A businessman who does this says that more and more fans are donating rice, and sales have grown very fast.

What do you think of “double reduction”? Our readers from Teens have different ideas. Here are four of them.

    Venus (金星) is close to Earth. . Earth is the third planet from the Sun. Venus is similar to Earth in size and mass (质量).It is often described as Earth's" sister".

    Scientists have been learning about Venus for a long time. First they looked at Venus through telescopes(望远镜). But Venus is covered with thick(厚的)clouds．. So they made guesses about it．

    For a long time, scientists thought that Venus had water and plants. They thought Venus might have animals, too. ．

    . In the 1960s, they began sending probes (航天探测器) to Venus. The probes flew through the thick clouds. They took pictures of Venus up close. They found out many things, too. The probes sent the pictures and things they found out back to the scientists．

    . First they learned that most of their guesses were not right. And they learned that Venus is very hot．

Students' views on tipping(付小费) in China

    In my opinion, tips should be given in China. Waiters work hard to serve each person. In return, people can give them tips to show their thanks. For waiters, tips not only mean more money, but also encourage them to work harder and do better.

    I don't think it's a good idea to tip in China, for there's no standard (标准) for tipping. Not every guest is rich and rich people may tip more. So waiters might choose to serve rich guests instead of poor ones.

    Chinese people don't need to give tips to waiters. In western countries, people give tips in many cases (情况). However, it can't work in China. I think Chinese people are not used to paying an extra bill(额外的账单) for services.

    In Western countries, it is really common to pay tips. It's just a tradition there. They have theirs and we have ours. And we have our own ways to live. It is not wise to follow foreigners in every way.

    Do you often help the people who are in need?

    One day, two boys were walking along the road to school when they saw an old woman carrying a large basket of pears. The old woman looked very tired. They went up and said, "Are you going to town? If you are, we'll help you carry your basket."

    "Thank you," said the woman, "That's very kind of you." Then she told them that she was going to the market to sell the pears. So the boys decided to lift the basket together. They walked slowly with the heavy basket, but they were happy.

The other day, I saw a little girl pick up a piece of banana peel(香蕉皮). She threw it into the dustbin(垃圾箱). "I hope nobody would throw that on the street," she said, "Someone may slip and fall."

    Perhaps some people may say that these are not great things. That's right. But almost all great things are made up of (由…组成) such small things. We shouldn't wait for the time to do great things. We should begin with these things that are full of love.

Have you ever worked as a volunteer? If not, you should get a chance to be a volunteer. Being a volunteer can you not only some working experience but also happiness. the same time, you can let other people feel warm.

Old People's Home and Children's Home are the most popular for students to volunteer because people there usually need more help.

Peter is a volunteer in Taikang Old People's Home. He often helps the old people to do some or cleaning. Sometimes he reads new is papers for who cannot read by ."When I help the old people, I feel very ," he said.

In a word, volunteering can help us to learn something and practice the skills. It is meaningful to a volunteer. If you have time, take part in some volunteer to make the world a better place.
