My family went on our annual (每年的) summer vacation in a small house on a lake. Every day we kids are busy swimming, fishing and building sand castle on the beach. By the third day of our vacation, however, something caught my attention. I noticed my 10-year-old sister, Kate, always watching videos and looking through online shops indoors. She was so addicted to her cell phone! Over dinner, I asked Kate whether she would like to go hike to the top of the mountain across the lake the following morning, "Maybe you need put your phone away and enjoy the wonderful scenery. It's really amazing."

"Well," Kate replied unwillingly, "there are some bargains (减价品) tomorrow in several online shops, so I'll not be available tomorrow."

"You can't miss the fresh air and beautiful views here. Hiking is really fun!"

"I cannot walk so far", she didn't look up from her soup and mumbled (嘟囔), "and it sounds more like punishment than a vacation."

When I said it only took us half an hour of steady walk to climb to the top, though reluctant, she nodded, "Fine, I'll go."

The weather was fine as usual with clear skies and gentle winds. After packing, I found Kate walking slowly downstairs and in a very unenthusiastic (不热情的) voice, "Ok, I'm ready to go. Tom"

Anyway, when we stepped out of our house, quite a different view unfolded before our eyes. Sunlight brightened on the glassy surface of the lake. Not far away, a rough path wound to the top of the mountain across the lake with flowers and grass on both sides. We began from the path.

"Tom, I'm still wondering if it is a good idea to go hiking." Kate said, frowning (皱眉).

My name is Mark brown, a teacher. Many students write to me to ask for help and I reply to them to help them solve their(problem). Timmy is one of the students I once helped. Timmy is a (talent) boy. He is   going to be a dentist when he grows up,he likes playing football very much. His parents are angry with him. They are afraid that (play) football too much is bad for Timmy's studies. They care about Timmy's grades a lot. Timmy (feel) upset, so he writes to me.

I write a letter to Timmy. I tell Timmy both schoolwork and hobbies are important. I advised him to plan his spare time better. For example, he must do his homework    (careful) and them he can make (few) mistakes than before. In that way, he can have more time (do) his favorite things. If Timmy does well his studies, his parents will agree with him. In the letter, I also tell him some (suggest) on his relationship with his parents and football.

The first try-out day finally came. I got a cheerleader try-out clearance (许可) form, but the thought of not trying out made me increasingly3. This nervousness finally led to4. As soon as school was over, I jumped on the5 heading home.

About five minutes into the bus ride a6 called my name and asked, "Why aren't you at cheerleader try-outs?" I said, "Oh, I got7 and left. Maybe I'll go back tomorrow. I have a lot of homework tonight." My friend knew it was just a(n)8 and could clearly tell my nerves had got the best of me. She said, "You have to go back, or you'll9 it!" Before I could say anything, she had pushed the "stop requested" button (按钮). The bus10 and1got off.

My anxiety-ridden legs brought me back to school in a11, because now I was late. Once I got outside the gym doors, I12 for a second, took a deep breath (呼吸) and walked in.

As the varsity captain (校队队长) for this upcoming fall, it is almost impossible to imagine my life without13. I've had so many doors open for me because of it, and met so many wonderful people through it. I'm so14 for the friend making me realise that following my15 is the best thing I can do.

But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. Susie Walton, a parenting educator and family coach, believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn't worth doing unless you get something in return. "Running any kind of household is a team effort," Susie said. "A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It's important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house, and that families decide together what they want their home to look like, and how they make it look like what everyone wants."

Other people believe that getting pocket money or other rewards motivates kids to do chores, and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to earn money. There are also new applications that give kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed (兑换) either online or in the real world. With the ChoreMonster app, kids earn digital points by completing chores that they can turn in for real-life rewards such as extra Xbox time or a trip to the mall. "Our goal is to encourage kids to earn rewards," says Chris Bergman, founder of ChoreMonster. "Kids need positive reinforcement to help motivate them."

What do you think? Should kids be rewarded for doing chores? Or should kids help out around their homes without getting anything in return?

Music not only makes children better students, but also gives them something positive to do. In a music programme, children can be part of a band instead of joining a gang (团伙). Parents can enjoy listening to their children's music instead of seeing them glued to a computer or TV screen. In a school band, students get to be part of a team. They can get along well with old friends and make new friends through music.

Music builds self-confidence, too. It gives children a sense of achievement and success. Making music is something for them to be proud of, and it lets kids practise performing in front of the audience. Music gives children an opportunity for self-expression, and that helps develop their self-confidence.

Once again, music is important because it can make children better students, give them something positive to do, and build their character. That is why music lessons should be offered in every single grade in every school.

Abdul, known as "India's Statue Man", has been performing his daily routine ever since 1985, soon after getting a job as a security guard. His boss had recently traveled to the UK, where he was So impressed by the statue-like members of the Royal Guard outside Buckingham Palace that he wanted to do something similar back home. So he had his guards receive three months of training, where they would sit perfectly still for around four hours. They weren't allowed to talk or smile, eat, drink, or even shoo away a fly if it sat on their faces. In the end, Abdul proved the best of the group, So he got the strange job.

Abdul isn't the only person in the world acting as a living statue, but what makes him special is the fact that he can do it for as long as six hours without even blinking his eyes. Once, a $ 155 prize was put up for anyone who can make him move a muscle. But try as they might, no one has ever succeeded. Actually, Abdul tries to move about as much as he can in his spare time, and only eats healthy home-cooked food, to keep his body in shape. But he claims yoga has been the biggest help. In the 32 years, Abdul has become a famous person in India and other Asian countries. Many Bollywood stars have come to witness this living statue and try to finally make him move, but none have succeeded.

Abdul earns about 10,000 rupees ($ 156) a month, which is enough to support his family, but definitely not enough to encourage his children to follow in his footsteps. It's just too stressful and taxing on the body. "Despite all the hardship and health problems, I love my job and I am thankful to people for the love and respect they have showered on me" he says, "When the time comes, I want to die playing a statue."
