During the summer holiday， some students might have been busy with traveling， summer camps and all kinds of courses． But a special group of Chinese middle school students decided to taste the hardship of life outside school．

Twelve students in a big city sold vegetables at a local market together． Within 12days， they made more than 1，500yuan．

Among them， the oldest is 21years old， while the youngest is just 10． They are all cousins in a big family and eight of them are from rural areas．

"Compared to traveling， such social practice connects us and makes us learn how tough our parents are，" said Dalin， 18， to the City Morning Post． Dalin， a senior high graduate， and her 12﹣year﹣old brother Xiaolin came up with the idea．

They learned to work hard to sell their veggies． Every morning they had to wake up at 3o'clock． Some of them went to the farmer's market to buy vegetables． Some of them went to the local market to take up a temporary stall（临时摊位）． To lower the cost， they learned to bargain （讲价） with the sellers．

At about 6：30am， they began to sell vegetables． They peddled（吆喝） loudly to attract（吸引） customers． After several days， they got some experience， too．

For example， it was better to put vegetables in order and bigger ones on top． When the vegetables are too heavy， they should give customers an extra plastic bag．

When they finally packed up and went home， they had a small meeting． Everyone took notes and shared their feelings．

From a young age， I've had a really deep connection with being outside． I've been skiing since I was eight or nine years old． I've been on expeditions（探险）in many places like China， Pakistan and so on． But it was in my home country， the USA， that I came closest to death．

It was April 1，2011． I was skiing in the Tetons with my friends Jeremy and Xavier， both experienced snowboarders． That day， I was the last person to ski． They were watching me from a safe area． Suddenly， I heard someone cry loudly． I turned around and saw the whole mountain start to move behind me． It was a massive avalanche（大雪崩）． The kind of avalanche that destroys trees， cars， buses， even houses! Tens of thousands of tons of snow were coming straight down the mountain behind me． I felt the snow push me forward， hundreds of meters， and then cover me． It was so heavy that I couldn't breathe． And then it pushed me forward again and up， out of the snowpack． I looked around， and for a few seconds I actually stopped being terrified． I had a moment to pause and to look at the power of the avalanche．

I looked down into the bottom of the valley（峡谷）． I could see trees that were 30m tall， because I was so far away， they looked tiny to me． "OK， I'm going all the way to the bottom!" I thought． Then the snow pushed me again down the mountain another 450m． I thought the force of the snow would destroy me， it was powerful． But in the end， I felt the avalanche slow down and I just popped （迸出） right out of the snow at the bottom of the valley．

It took Jeremy and Xavier about 20 minutes to reach me． There was a pile of debris （碎片） across the bottom of the mountain 300m wide． They couldn't believe it when they saw me． I was so lucky．

Has the experience changed me？ Do I think about life differently？ I don't know， maybe． But I do know that it's important to live your life with meaning． Life is a gift， so use it wisely．

When you're very， very afraid of something， that fear can affect （影响） you and how you live your life． When I was younger， I saw my cousin f（1）　　onto an ants' nest． The ants attacked （攻击） him， and he was c（2）　　in terrible bites（咬）． After that I became very scared of ants． I wouldn't eat outside， and I didn't even like to play outside． I c（3）　　my bed for ants every night． But when I t（4）　　thirteen， I decided I couldn't let my fear get to me． I had to learn to control my fear of ants．

First I read a lot about different ants． I didn't focus on bites， but instead I read about how helpful ants are to the p（5）　　． Ants are really cool! They're hard﹣working， social， and organized． They help bring a（6）　　and nutrients（营养） to the earth． They help plants grow， clean up decaying（腐烂的） m（7）　　， and help control other insects．

Next I began to w（8）　　ants from a safe distance． I started to look at a family of ants in real time on the Internet in order to learn how they live． Little by little， I fell more c（9）　　about ants． Finally I went outside one day and let an ant move onto my hand and t（10）　　it gently． It was okay!
