Last week， some German parents who took their kids out of school early were stopped by the police at the airport． The police were making reports on students who didn't have permission（许可） to miss school．

Like many places， it is against the law to skip （不参加） school in Germany． Children over the age of 9 can't miss classes without permission from the school． But during busy travel times， some parents take their children out of school early to save money on vacations． People can often save a lot of money on flights and hotels by going at a different time than others．

Last weekend was the beginning of an important holiday period in Germany． People in charge of the schools asked the police to check and make sure that students weren't leaving for vacations before they were allowed to．

Police officers at three German airports looked for families with school﹣aged children．When they found them， the police pulled the families out of lines to talk with them． They wanted to find out if the parents had permission for the children to be out of school． If the children did not have permission， the police reported the families to their schools and to the government． In all， the police reported about 20 families．

These families will have two weeks to show that it was okay for their children to miss school． If they can't， they may have to pay as much as﹩1，200 as a fine （罚款）， or receive some other punishment．

Germany is not the only place where parents have to pay fines if their children miss school．Many other countries and many of the states in the U．S． have similar laws．

The good news is that the families were allowed to go on vacation after they talked to the police． But they might have a big bill waiting for them when they get back．

One windy day in June， Fourth Class took the train to Chinatown． We had begun to learn Putonghua and our teacher said this excursionwould let us practice our language skills and learn more about Chinese culture．

We entered Chinatown through the arched （拱形的） entrance gate with red painted wooden pillars （柱子）． Big stone lions sat on each side． Then I noticed that the street signs were written in both Chinese and English． I photographed the sign for Hay Street．

The next place we visited was the Chinese Garden of Friendship which was very peaceful． There were waterfalls， hidden stone paths and a beautiful teahouse． We had a wonderful time there．

At last it was time for our Chinese lunch． We entered a big restaurant that had red lanterns hanging from the roof and red dragons on the walls． The waiters greeted us in Putonghua and we answered them in Putonghua． We were shown how to use chopsticks and how to choose from the menus with Chinese writing．

At 2：30 we left Chinatown．We were all very tired．On the train，our teacher told us her experience in China．She was just back from seeing the Great Wall of China．It's like a long dragon winding its way．We were told it is the longest wall in the world． As we were listening， one student， who I couldn't name， fell asleep on the train and snored loudly． His face turned red when he woke up!

In the past， I often told my Chinese classmates how to speak English． Now there are more people than ever who are studying Chinese． I can understand why﹣ it's a fascinating language，and there are always new words to be discovered! I cannot forget our excursion to Chinatown．Tom Green， Fourth Class

Find a Job This Summer

This summer there are things that students can do to earn some pocket money or to help others． Also， many programs are offered by provincial government and its partners to help students find summer jobs． Here are a few ideas．

Deliver Newspapers

Teenagers can deliver newspapers﹣ usually you ride a bike around a neighborhood and leave the newspaper at each house． Normally you have to have your own bike﹣and you have to get up early too， because people want their newspapers to read with their breakfast． If you are 15﹣ 18 and return to school this fall， you can find jobs of this kind．

Wash Cars

It's crazy for adults to drive to an expensive car wash when they can get a teenager to do the job for less money． Wash the car well and carefully and people will want you to do it again． Then you've got customers!

Give Older People a Hand

Lots of older people are happy for teenagers to help them carry their shopping or do small things for them， like washing or keeping them company （陪伴）． You earn money or not， and people in the neighborhood get your help．

Job Programs

If you are a student living in certain communities of the province， you are lucky． There are programs that provide four weeks of paid jobs along with training． After that， you can start and run your own summer business， and you have a chance of wining awards of up to﹩1000． Go to the government website to learn more about these programs． People under 25 could build skills， find a job or start businesses all year round．

They are all great ideas． Just choose one of them to make some money． Then spend it or save it． But don't forget it's important always to tell an adult where you are going．

There were two men who lived next to each other． One of them was a retired teacher and the other was a businessman． Both of them had planted many plants in their gardens． The retired teacher seldom watered his plants and didn't pay a lot of attention to them． But his neighbor was very careful with his plants and watered them often．

According to a 2018 study from San Francisco State University， nearly 2． 4 billion people around the world used a smartphone in 2017． By the end of 2019， more than a third of the global population will be using a smartphone．

However ， smartphone technology can be a double ﹣ edged sword ．On the one hand， it sends us unlimited amounts of information． On the other hand， using a smartphone may become an addiction．

Erik Peper and Richard Harvey are both health education professors at San Francisco State university． They led the study． Peper explains that smartphone addiction forms connections in the brain that are similar to drug addiction． And these connections form slowly over time． Also， addiction to social media may affect our emotional state． The two professors asked 135 university students about their habit of smartphone use and their feelings． They found that students who used their phones the most reported higher levels of feeling lonely， depressed and anxious．

Peper and Harvey do not blame users for their technology addiction． They believe it is the tech industry's desire to make more money that is to blame for the technology addiction． The researchers warm that workers in the technology industry know how to control our brains and turn us into addicts．

But the researchers say that we can limit our brains to be less addicted to our phones and computers． Erik Peper suggests timing off our phones before we sleep or do something important． The researchers also suggest taking control of when and where you answer texts or emails． You do not need to answer them all． And you certainly don't need to answer them as soon as you get them． They also suggest putting limits on the time you spend on social media．If you want to catch up with friends on Facebook，set aside a small amount of time to it．you should focus on important tasks and do not allow technology to disturb you．
