If you go to an American middle school on Wednesday morning, you will hear kids talking about the American idol(美国偶像)show from the night before. Some have called it the most influential show in the history of television.
American Idol has been extremely successful in the country since 2002. The show was number one for six years! The most popular episode（剧集）had nearly 38 million viewers. But why is the show so popular?
The idea of the show is this: everyday people get a chance to show their singing talents to the world and become an “American Idol”, a famous pop star. Anyone in the country(between the ages of 15 and 28) can have a try—a chance of becoming world famous.
In fact, everyday people are the ones who are allowed on the show. If you are a professional singer—you cannot be an American Idol. The winners are regular people from small towns—people who sang in churches or bars（酒吧）but had bigger dreams.
The winners of the contest don’t get a prize of money. Instead, they get to record an album. Famous stars such as Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood gained fame(获得名声) from winning the show. So, it seems the contest really works.
It is the idea that anyone can be a super star that draws people to this program. All those hours of practicing in front of the mirror could lead to fame and fortune（财富）.Even you could be the next “American Idol”.

My grandfather took me to the fishing pond（鱼塘）on the farm when I was about 7 years old, and he asked me to throw a stone into the water.
I did what I was asked. Then my grandfather told me to watch the waves made by the stone. Moments later, he asked me to think of myself as that stone.
"You may make a lot of splashes（浪花）in your life, but remember the waves that come from those splashes will affect the peace of all your friends beside you," he said.
"Remember that you are responsible for（负责） what you throw into your circle, and that your waves will touch many other circles. Always try to live in a way that the waves that come from your circle send out the peace of your goodness to other circles."
"Remember the waves that come from anger and jealousy（嫉妒）will also send those feelings to other circles. You are responsible for all the waves."
That was the first time I realized each person creates the inner peace or anger that flows（流）out into the world. We cannot create world peace if we have hatred（仇恨）and anger.
We spread the feelings and thoughts that we hold inside, whether we tell others about them or not. Whatever is inside of us is flowing out into the world and touching all the other circles of life.

What are you going to do if you are in a burning house? How will you escape? Do you know how to save yourself? Please read the following passage.
Escaping a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save your life. It is important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone in the family, such as stairways and fire escapes, but not lifts.
From the lower floors of the buildings, escaping through windows is possible, learn the best way of leaving by windows with the least chance of serious injury.
The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. An average (平均高度的) person, hanging by the finger-tips will have a drop of about six feet to the ground. It is about the height of an average man. Of course, it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building.
Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed. Or smoke and fire may be drawn into the room. Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may have leaked (渗) into the room.
On a second or third floor, the best windows for escape are these which open onto a roof. From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely. Dropping onto cement (水泥) might end with injury. Bushes and grass can help to break a fall.
