The son started to fly the kite. 2, his kite was high up in the sky in a few minutes. Then, the son said, "Father, it seems that the string（线）is stopping the kites from flying higher. If we cut it, it will be 3 and fly higher. Can we cut it?" The father cut the string off of the reel(线轴).
The kite started to go 4. This made the little boy happy.
But then, slowly, the kite started to 5. It finally fell to the ground. The son was 6to see this. He asked his father, "Why did it fall down? I thought that the kite would fly higher 7cutting the string."

When he was a teenager, Hunter Adams was very unhappy and he spent many years in a special hospital for people with mental (心理的) health problems.
When he left the hospital, Adams decided to become a doctor, so he went to a medical school in Virginia, USA. There he often did things in a different way. For example, he didn't like the doctor's white coats, so he wore shirts with flowers on them when he visited his patients (病人). He also tried to make them laugh.
Adams believed that people in hospital need more than medicine. He saw that patients were lonely and unhappy. He tried to help them, not just as patients, but as friends, too. He spent a lot of time with the children in hospital. He often put on a red nose to look like a clown to make the children laugh.
When he finished medical school and became a doctor, Adams opened his own hospital named "the Gesundheit Institute". He wanted it to be a place with a different way of working with sick people.
Hunter Adams became famous during the 1980s, and in 1988, Universal Pictures made a film called Patch Adams. It was about his life. It was a great success. In the film, Robin Williams played Adams. Williams said, "Hunter is a really warm person. He believes that patients need a doctor like a friend. I enjoyed playing him."
What subject do you worry about most at school? Many students worry about math. Some students can't sleep well the day before a math exam. Others may feel very worried during the exam itself. But there might be a way to make the subject less stressful(有压力的).
"For people who worry about math, posture（姿势）makes a big difference," Erik Peper from
San Francisco State University told the Daily Mail. That's right - sitting up straight(直地) can help you do better in math exams.
Scientists tested 125 college students. They asked them to do a math test while sitting up straight, or sitting in a slumped-over (趴倒的) position. After the test, 56 percent of the students said the exam was easier to do if they were sitting up straight.
Students who were not worried about taking the math exam did not do better from better posture. But they did find that it was more difficult to do math while slumping over, Science Daily reported
Good posture isn't just helpful for taking math exams. Runners, musicians and public speakers can all benefit from better posture. When you feel stressed out, you can also try to sit up straight or stand tall. It can help you feel more positive and focus better.

Young people in China are more optimistic (乐观的) than those in other countries, according to a survey. It asked 200,000 young people in 20 countries how they think and feel about the world. These countries include China, the US, the UK and so on. The survey found that 53 percent of Chinese youth think the world is becoming a better place.
When asked why they felt hopeful for the future, most of them think it's because of high technology (科技), many of them also think China is a good place to live in. The biggest reason is that China is "a country in which anyone can make their dreams come true if they work hard"
Following China, Indian youth are the next most optimistic (49 percent). But those in France, Italy and Turkey are the most pessimistic. The rise of global terrorism (恐怖主义) worries them most.
. As much as 82 percent of them worry about climate change (气候变化). In China, it is the biggest worry for the future. The survey takes this as a good thing. Because Chinese youth care a lot about the climate problem and expect for great changes.
It is good to relax using the Internet or watching game shows, but we think is through exercise (我们认为放松的最好方式是通过锻炼)(它对身心健康有益). Exercise such as playing sports is fun, and you can spend time with your friends and family as you play together. And remember, " (旧习难改). " So start exercising before it's too late!
Students often forget that their parents have more experience, and are always there to help them. In English, we say that (在英语中，我们说与人分担一个烦恼就像把烦恼分成两半). So you're halfway to just by talking to someone about it(因此你只要跟人聊聊这个问题，你就已经解决了问题的一半）！

honey until promise bad I |
I'm writing this in my room. It's(几乎) midnight, but I can't sleep. I am (琢磨) what my life will be like in ten years! Every day, my parents ask me, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" The problem is: I don't know! My mom always likes to (建议) me, "Be a doctor!" But to be a doctor, you have to study for a long, long time, and that's not my idea of fun. My dad says, "Be a (飞行员) !" He knows I'm scared of flying! And I have to be really good at math. . (虽然) ) I like math, I'm not good at it.
Well, I don't (介意) being a rock star. You
don't have to be very smart at least not smart in things like math and science.
I am(有才能 
) in singing. (大概, 或许) one day, I will become successful and famous. Also, I'm going to(旅行) all over the world.
Now I'm getting tired, so I'm going to bed. I can think about my(未来) in bed. I get my best ideas when I'm lying down. Decisions, decisions, decisions!
One day, a student asked her teacher, "What is greed (贪婪)?" The teacher didn't answer her question (quick), but said, "Walk through the chocolate factory. Pick out the biggest chocolate bar (条，块) you can find. But there is rule: As you pass through the factory, you can't turn back"
The student went to the chocolate bar factory. As she walked, she saw a large chocolate bar.
She liked it, but she thought she might be able(find) a bigger one. Then she saw another bigger one. But again, she thought she could get an even bigger one she kept going. As she neared the end of the factory, she saw(few) chocolate bars, and none of them were as (large) as the earlier one. She started to feel sorry.
Finally, she (choose) nothing. She went back to her teacher without (something). The teacher told her, "You liked the first chocolate bar, but you kept looking a bigger one. So you didn't have the largest because you thought you could get a bigger one. That is called greed."
Sometimes, we let go of good (thing) in our life because we think we can find something even better.
