Better Time for Teenagers to Keep Healthy

In movie club, people can watch movie in tub (浴盆) with their friends and enjoy lots of drinks at the same time. It is the Hot Tub Movie Club. The idea came from a young man called Joep Verbunt. He lived and worked in London for two years before bringing some of his ideas back to the Netherlands.

The club opens at 6:00p.m. There are 1,500 bathrobes (浴袍) in all kinds of sizes. Come early for the right size and the right one. You can test the water in your hot tub. From 8: 00 p. m. it is movie time! The movie will be shown on two big screens. Wherever you are sitting, you will be sitting first class. There are waiters walking around and giving drinks to the hot tubs. So you never have to leave the warm water!

But there are things you should remember:

●You have to bring slippers (拖鞋).

●You will get a bottle of Cava per hot tub for free.

●You have to bring some money if you want to have more drinks.

●There will be lockers (储物柜) and dressing rooms for men and women separately (单独地)

When you have a different opinion with your friend, what should you do? One of the ways is to talk with your friend and tell him or her how you're feeling. It's always important to share your feelings with your friend.

Sometimes friends do drift apart. As we grow older, our interests change and sometimes this means that a friendship may not be as close as it once was. This also means that you, too, may find a different group of friends to spend time with.

Then what should you do to keep friends? One helpful thing is to be sure you let others know you like them. Smile, talk to them, listen with interest and praise them for the things you like about them. People naturally like to make friends with the people who understand and enjoy them.

It's also important to remember that you should always be yourself. Sometimes when you focus on "keeping friends", you might begin to do things or act in some ways that aren't normally part of your personality. Moreover, if your friend is unfriendly to you, that doesn't mean you should become hurtful (伤感情的) to other people. If keeping a friendship means you have to become someone who you aren't, that friendship isn't worth (值得) keeping.

"Miss Smith! What rough(粗糙的) hands Mary Jessup has!" said Daisy Marvin, as she walked home from school with her teacher.

"In my opinion, Daisy, Mary's hands are the prettiest in our class."

"Why? Miss Smith, they are as red and hard as they can be. How they would look if she tried to play on a piano!" Daisy said.

Miss Smith took Daisy's hands in hers and said," Your hands are very soft and white, just the hands to look beautiful on a piano; yet they don't have one beauty that Mary's hands do. Shall I tell you what the difference is? "

"Yes, please, Miss Smith." Daisy looked at Miss Smith, with eyes wide open.

"Well, Daisy, Mary's hands are very busy. They wash dishes; they make fires; they hang out clothes, and help to wash them, too; they are always trying to help her poor, hard-working mother."

Miss Smith continued, "Besides, they wash and dress the children; they mend their toys and dress their dolls; yet, they find time to bathe the head of the little girl who is so sick in the next house to theirs." "They do good deeds(行为) to every living thing. I have seen them patting the tired horse and the homeless dog in the street. They are always ready to help those who need help."

"I shall never think Mary's hands are ugly any more, Miss Smith." Daisy said that with tears in eyes. "I am glad to hear you say that, Daisy; and I must tell you that they are beautiful because they help others gladly and cheerfully."

"Oh，Miss Smith! I feel so ashamed of myself and so sorry，" said Daisy, looking into her teacher's face with shining eyes. "My dear, beauty doesn't lie in how one looks but what he does."
