Tom is ten years old. He loves watching TV. But for one year, he didn't watch TV at all. What was the reason? Tom's parents said they would give him ＄600 if he didn't watch TV for a year. Tom's parents thought he watched TV too much.
One day his mother read a story in a newspaper about a boy who didn't watch TV for a year. She showed the story to Tom. Tom liked the idea. He turned off the TV right away, and said, "It doesn't trouble me not to watch TV. I just want the money." At first, Tom's parents were very happy. Tom read books and newspapers, played outside, and played computer games, but soon he got bored.
Every evening, he asked his parents, "What are we doing tonight?" Sometimes his mother and father wished he would watch TV just for one evening. Tom always said, "No, it would cost me money!"

What is the population of China? There are more than a billion and three hundred million people in China. 它几乎是世界人口的五分之一。How to control the population growth is a big problem.
Some people think it impossible to control the population growth. But I don’t agree with them, because where there’s a will, there is a way.
The question is that we should make it known to everybody how serious the population problem is. Our farmland is becoming less and less to everyone. We have already got too many mouths to feed.
Unless we control the population growth, many people will die of hunger. Too fast population growth has been and will be bad for our nation. Though laws(法律) have been passed to control the population growth, in some places little is done to carry out the law. We should make people know that it is foolish to bring too many children into the world. They should no longer do what they have been doing for many years.
我们正在与人口快速增长做斗争. Let’s go on working hard on it together.

More people are buying tickets over the phone or the Internet for travel and other things. Not only are people doing their shopping electronically (电子地), but also many businessmen are giving “electronic tickets” or “e-tickets (电子机票)” to the buyers.
The most common use for electronic tickets today is for air travel. Airlines have surely removed paper tickets by asking more money for them than for electronic tickets. Although some companies offer the choice to buy tickets online, these tickets aren’t electronic, because they can be used by anyone holding the ticket for travel or entrance.
Electronic tickets are usually bought online, over the phone or from travel businessmen. A system online or over the phone will tell you that the ticket is electronic, and will ask you to offer some personal information depending on its requirements (要求). You’ll receive a confirmation (确认) number showing your buying. You should keep this number.
The system will also tell you what must be shown at the time of travel or the event. Photo identification, such as ID card, confirmation numbers and credit cards (信用卡) will probably be required. Make sure that you have the right ID. On the day of the travel or the visit, it will be used often.

I used to be an easily angry boy. But since I watched a TV report, I have changed a lot.
That evening, after doing my homework, I sat down to watch a report on TV. It said that two young boys were once good friends, but one day they fought each other just because of a joke between them. At that time both of them were too angry with each other, so one killed the other finally. The result for the two was so terrible. One was dead, far away from his family and his friends forever. The other was put into prison (监狱). All this happened just because of anger (愤怒).
Anger is a bad thing, which may cause some terrible things to happen, either to ourselves or to others around us. Being angry easily is not a good habit for a clever man.
As an article says, “We cannot change the way other people act, so it is important to learn to live happily with them.” Maybe smiling at others is the easiest way. If others’ ideas are really not good, keep an open mind. Having a friend is much better than having an enemy (敌人) after all!What kind of boy did the writer use to be?
