Having Fun “Growing” and “Stealing”?
Recently, an Internet game has become a new fashion among young office workers and students. People can “farm” on a piece of “land” and “grow”, “sell” or even “steal” “vegetables”, “flowers”, and “fruits” on the Net. They can earn some e-money and buy more “seeds”, “pets”, and even “houses”.
Joyce interviewed some young people. Here are their opinions.
Harold： I don’t quite understand why they are so mad about the childish game. Maybe they are just not confident enough to face the real world.
Allan：I enjoy putting some “bugs” in my friends’ gardens and we’ve become closer because of the game. Having fun together is the most exciting thing about it.
Laura：You know, people in the city are longing for the life in the countryside. It reduces my work pressure. Besides, it gives me the exciting experience of being a “thief”.
Ivy：Well, it’s just a waste of time. Teenagers playing the game spend so many hours on it that they cannot focus on their study.

Japanese students work very hard but many are unhappy. They feel heavy pressures from their parents. Most students are always told by their parents to study harder and better so that they can have a wonderful life in the future. Though this may be a good idea for those smart students, it can have terrible results for many students who are not gifted enough. Many of them have tried very hard at school but have failed in the exams and have their parents lose hope. Such students feel that they are hated by everyone else they meet and they don’t want to go to school any more. They become dropouts(退学者).
It is surprising that though most Japanese parents are worried about their children, they don’t help them in any way. Many parents feel that they are not able to help their children and that it is the teachers’ work to help children. To make matters worse, a lot of parents send their children to those schools opening in the evenings and on weekeds—they only help the students to pass the exams and never teach them any real sense of the world.
Many Japanese schools usually have rules about everything from the students’ hair to their clothes and the things in their school bags. Child psychologists now think that such strict rules are harmful(有害的) to the feelings of the students. Almost 40% of the students said that no one had taught them how to get on with others, how to tell right from wrong and how to show love and care for others, even for their parents.
How are Japanese students nowadays?
A、They work hard and all of them are happy.
B、Parents give them heavy pressures.
C、Parents can offer a lot of help to their children.

Which of the following is NOT true?
A、Parents in Japan wish their children to make a great life in the future.
B、Parents in Japan think it’s the teachers’ job to educate children.
C、Only strict rules are helpful for students.
In Japanese schools,           .

Dear Mr. Heppell,
I am Sabrina Akhtar studying in a high school and I’ve noticed that forests are disappearing.
You know, forests are disappearing around the world each year because of many different reasons including farming, tourism, pollution, etc. If we stop doing these things, there will be a good future for people of tomorrow.
Now I’m writing to ask you to help stop forests from disappearing. You can help by getting shops to stop selling paper made from trees and by persuading people not to use tree-free paper (paper not made from trees). This will help forests so much. There are many, many things we can do to help forests. If you would like to know more, please visit http://www. Rainforestweb. Org/.
By changing the little things, we can make a big difference.
If you would like to contact（联系）me, please see the above address or e-mail me at shazadinol @ hotmail.co.uk. Thank you for taking your time in reading this letter.

  One morning, a blind boy sat beside a building with a hat by his feet．He held a sign which said, “I am blind．Please help me．”
There were only a few coins in the hat．A man was walking by．He took out a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat．He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words on it．He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by could the new words．
Soon the hat began to fill up．A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy．That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were．The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, “Are you the one who changed my sign in the morning? What did you write?”
The man said, “I only wrote the truth．I said what you said, but in a different way．”
What he had written was, “Today is a beautiful day, but I can' t see it．”
Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?
Of course both signs told people the boy was blind．But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat．The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the beautiful day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind．
The first sign simply said the boy was blind, while the second sig told people they were so lucky that they were not blind．
