If you knew you had three years left to live,1 would you use your time? It's a hard question and 2 of us would even like to think about it. But 3 young boy who called Huang Ge has to answer this question and he says, "I want to thank the people who 4 me."
At age one, Huang's mother left the family. Six years later, he was 5 ill. He has been using a wheelchair since 9 years old. Doctor said he would only live to be 18.
After Huang's story went on TV, 6 Chinese sent money to help him. The boy was so moved that he decided to thank 7 of them. But it is not 8 easy work, because Huang was too sick even to drive a mosquito(蚊子) away from his leg. The family has to 9 him to his wheelchair to stop him from falling out, and they can only afford(提供) a three-wheeled motorcycle(摩托车). 10 2003, the father and son have traveled 14,000 kilometers to different provinces and thanked more than 30 helpers.
"I'm moved by the story of this boy. We need the courage to face death, and we should also feel the thankfulness for those who help us," reads an online post on cctv.com.

Children who walk to and from school along with their parents can learn essential(基本的) road safety and life skills. You can take part by... Walking to and from school with your child every day. Walking for one or two days during the week. Encouraging others to walk, if you already do. Walking is great! Walking is great exercise! A walk is good for your body and can keep you fit. You won't have to waste time looking for a parking site(停车点). It's free. You'll save money by not using the car. It's pollution free. It's a good chance to talk to your children and to meet other parents, too. Enjoying walking to school! Here are some suggestions to help you and your child enjoy walking to school. Plan a safe route (路线) together. Teach children what a kerb (马路牙子) is and what it means. Encourage your child to help you choose the safest places to cross the road.

Different weather makes people feel different. It influences health, intelligence and feelings. In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month. In the Northwest and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in these states have some heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.
The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 1983 report by scientists, IQ of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% lower. The wind can help people have more intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year (July and August).
Weather also has a strong influence on people's feeling. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold during these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer. Low air pressure(气压) may make people forgetful. People leave more bags on buse s and in shops on low-pressure days. People feel best at a temperature of about 18℃.
Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful, or unhappy today? It may be the weather's problem.

| I think a world without ads(广告) would be boring because people wouldn't have the chance to watch something new and colorful besides the TV program itself. Ads are an important part of the TV business. In my opinion, TV survives(生存) because of advertising. I remember a TV ad which I liked very much when I was young. It was about a famous chocolate bar(条块) called Crunch. The unforgettable slogan (words used in ads), "Crunch! The chocolate which is crispy!" ended that ad. I first saw the ad on a bus. A beautiful girl was going to enjoy a chocolate bar. Everything around her was quiet. When she started to bite(咬) the chocolate bar, there was a terrible shaking. The girl was surprised; but instead of stopping, she went on and bit it another time. That time, it was like an earthquake happening around her. "The girl liked eating so much that she didn't care about what was happening around her," I thought at that time. In my eyes, that TV ad is very great. Feelings of humor and feelings of surprise were combined(结合) to create a funny ad. It seemed that the chocolate bar was so delicious that one could forget the world around him/her. I believe many people, including children, must have liked this ad and been influenced to buy the chocolate bar. See, good ads can give customers a feeling of satisfaction about the products and succeed in making customers buy the products as early as possible. |
