On June 9th，1870， Charles Dickens died at the age of 58． The next day， a headline in The New York Times read： "Death of the Great Novelist …Will Be Remembered by the People …"
The headline was not overstating （夸大） the popularity of Dickens．Even today， the British novelist is loved by readers all over the world．Dickens created some unforgettable characters． You must have heard of or even read some of his novels： Oliver Twist， A Christmas Carol and A Tale of Two Cities． A Tale of Two Cities has sold more than 200 million copies． Since 1897， there have been more than 300 film and TV adaptations （改编版本）of Dickens' works．A Christmas Carol alone has had nearly 50．
Natalie Mcknight is a literature professor （文学教授） who studies Dickens and his works．She explains why the novelist has remained so popular． One important reason， she says，is that Dickens wrote from his heart． He tried hard to produce emotional effects （情感效果） among his readers． In his works，he paid special attention to the "little man" at the bottom of society in the UK， which deeply mirrored the social reality at that time． A Christmas Carol， for example， was written to make every reader think about how they could make a difference to their society． People always enjoy works that make them laugh， cry and think． Many other 9th﹣century novelists wrote entertaining （娱乐的） works． However， few of them worked as hard as Dickens to touch the readers deeply．
Dickens wrote about situations and emotions that still interest people today． He used his pen to fight social inequality and gave voice to the poor． His works led to many important social changes． Readers always enjoy seeing poor people rise and succeed．

There's an old saying： "Laughter is the best medicine，" and modern research certainly shows that laughing is good for you． When you have a good laugh， you exercise your muscles （肌肉），strengthen your heart and balance your body chemistry． However， these are the results of having laugh， not the explanations （解释）of why we do it．
Until recently， scientists believed that laughter was a human behaviour only． They argued that people find jokes funny because we can put ourselves in another person's shoes， and that animals can't do that．People don't all have the same sense of humour． Sometimes there isn't any joke，or we may not have heard it but we laugh because the people around us are laughing． How long and how loud we would laugh are also shared． We just go on following the example with one another until the laughter fades away （消失）．
Many pet owners insist that animals have a sense of humour， too． For example， pet dogs often run away with a slipper （拖鞋） and then stop， inviting their owners to run after them． Dogs even seem to smile when their owners join in the game． As the game continues， our pets make noises that are very like laughter． You can compare this behaviour to the laughter of a baby， who continually throws a toy down， waits for the adult to pick it up and throws it down again．
Perhaps laughter is just a sign that we are having fun． Fun， like laughter， is best when we share it with friends．

Teens will finally grow up some day， leaving their parents and facing the challenges in life alone， so they should learn basic life skills and form good working habits．
The government has been trying to pay attention to the importance of hardworking spirit education（劳动教育）．But this has been overlooked in recent years． Many teens do not value the importance of working hard． There is a teenager girl named Nancy， she never helps out around the house． Once her mother was on vacation for a week，leaving her alone at home． When her mother came home from vacation ，she could not find a clean dish or a clean shirt．
Schools play an important role in teaching students about the value of working hard．Primary and middle schools should provide students with hardworking spirit courses every week． To our joy，some schools have provided each class with a piece of field to plant their favorite vegetables． For example， No.38 Middle School in Hefei， set up a 500﹣square﹣meter farm on an open platform （露天平台）of their teaching building． Each class are asked to grow and pick vegetables there．

Social media（媒体）is a big part of most people's lives． There are social apps and sites like WeChat and Sina Weibo， as well as video apps like Douyin and Kuaishou． How do you behave when you use these apps？
Recently researchers at the University of Sussex，UK， studied social media users ranging from 10
to 15 years old． They found that they can be divided into four personality types．
Geeks（极客）
Geeks are active social media users，but they find it much more difficult to deal with the life in the real world． Most of them are boys who like playing computer games and making music and videos． They often post creative works online， using fake（假的） names． In fact， they should avoid spending too much time on the Internet．
Internet celebrities
Internet celebrities like sharing as well ， but they are much more visible （看得见的） than geeks． They might become well﹣known for their singing or dancing． But many of them， especially teenagers ，share almost every side of their lives in order to own more fans． Being a teenage Internet celebrity can sometimes cause problems in the real world．
Lurkers（潜伏者）
The first two groups are lucky to find a place to show their talent． But most teenagers fall into the third type﹣﹣﹣﹣ "lurkers"，or people who are neither too active nor visible．This group prefers WeChat over Sina Weibo， as WeChat has private groups． They can't express themselves well but at least they make sure to protect their personal information．
Victims（受害者）
Victims don't have enough knowledge to keep themselves safe online Their personal information can be made public and cause problems for them． To avoid being a victim， you should check your personal settings on social media．"Friends only" is a good choice for your posts． Don't share your personal information．

Anna |
Though my mom and two sisters are all doctors，I'm sure I will stay as far away from a hospital as I can．I hate being sick， and I'm afraid of seing sick people looking weak and sad．I'll keep strong by playing my favorite sport， tennis， every day． One day I'll join the national team and be another Lina． |

Are you looking for good books to read？You're in the night place．Here（1） ．I believe that the books are changing our lives．But first， I want you to think about reading in a different context（语境）．You can not just read for fun． Instead， think of reading as a tool for solving problems， a tool you can use to get valuable knowledge from experts all over the world．
How many times have you found you have no idea to solve a problem？ Whether（2） _ or how to become a better acting of yourself， you just can't seem to come up with a good solution． If you're anything like me， you start asking yourself， "How do the experts deal with this ？" Well， （3） and the answer is very easy to get． You can find the answers to most things by reading a book．

Although I said a lot， I still believe（5） than others． These good books are the ones that have had a wonderful influence on my journey to be a better person．
Dear Daniel，
I feel that I've grown up and should make my own decisions， but my parents disagree． My mom still helps me choose what clothes to wear． My dad asks me to pay attention only to study． I know they do this out of love， but I feel controlled． What should I do？
Amanda
Dear Amanda，
Your parents sound very strict． It's hard to believe that your mom chooses what you wear． Are you a Barbie doll？
Try to take the first step when possible． Dress yourself before your mother has a chance to come in and choose your clothes． If she asks you to change， tell her you'll be late for school．
You should also talk to her． Ask about her choices： What makes a set of clothes acceptable or unacceptable？ Tell her you will follow her rules， but you want to make the choices． You are not in first grade．You are a young lady in high school．
As for your father， it's difficult to argue with his mind． After all， he is not totally wrong． How strict is he？ Does he lock you up with your textbooks？ Are you allowed to have a hobby？Are you allowed to have a smartphone？ Are you allowed to hang out with friends？
Such strict parents should know the law of diminishing returns （收益递减）． A weightlifter，for example， can only lift for an hour or two each day． If she docs more，her muscles will not become stronger．She will just get tired． She may even hurt herself!
Our brains also have limits． Some violin teachers say you should only practice a new skill for 15 minutes each day． Our brains need to relax and understand new information． Our brains also have a basic need to socialize （社交）． Ask your father： what is the meaning of so much studying if it makes you feel unhappy？
Stay strong．
Daniel
