Title: Inner voice helps a lot throughout our lives.

When you couldn’t open your mouth till the first two years on the earth, inner voice helps you understand things. Inner voice always shows thoughts and ideas in the body.

It justifies （判断） what is right and what is wrong. When we go against inner voice, we usually feel uncomfortable throughout our lives.

Sometimes when we are feeling sad, we seem to need some kind of support in spirit. We usually speak to our closest friend or our dearest family member during times of unhappiness to feel better. After talking to them, we suddenly feel active again, because our inner voice reminds us to get on with things and leave the things of the past in the memory.

Inner voice is always right most of the time, because it knows us better than others and even ourselves. It’ s good to go by inner voice most of the time. Whenever you are trying to smoke, or whenever you are asked to choose one side in an argument, you are always worried about the result. During these times, your inner voice tells you what to do. If you don’t follow your inner voice, you might be unhappy in the future. It’ s our own choice to either pay no attention to our inner voice or follow it and search for real happiness.

Tape-Measure Murder is a short story by Agatha Christie. In the story, Miss Politt, the dressmaker, finds that Mrs. Spenlow is dead in her house in a small village called St Mary Mead. Everybody, including the police, thinks that Mr. Spenlow is the murderer (凶手) because he is so calm and quiet after discovering his wife’s death. But after the police talk to Miss Marple, she finds out the real murderer.

The best part of the story is when Miss Marple explains how she solves the mystery (疑案) by noticing a tiny pin (别针) on a policeman’s uniform. Her explanation is very clear and clever. Miss Marple is my favorite character in the story. I think she is very special because she is just an old lady but she is even smarter than the policemen. I never thought that an old lady could be the main character of a detective story!

Can you guess who the murderer is? Read the book to find out! You will enjoy the story very much because the ending is so surprising.

The Internet nowadays opens a wide world to people, including teenagers, but many parents worry that their children may meet with something unhealthy when searching online. In order to solve this problem, a new search engine for children called Kiddle has appeared.

Search results are filtered（过滤）, so only safe website are shown and descriptions are written in simple language. Searches with bad words are shut off, too.

Kiddles uses the same colors as Google in its logo and a similar design on its homepage, too — with an extra robot picture.

The top three Kiddle search results show safe websites and pages written specially for kids, and those websites and pages are well chosen and checked by Kiddle developers.

The fourth to seventh results will be safe and trusted websites that are not written specially for kids, but have content written in a simple way. These results are also chosen and checked.

Results on the eighth and onwards pages are safe and famous websites that are written for adults. They provide expert content, but are harder for kids to understand.

Unlike on Google, most results appear along with large thumbnail pictures（缩略图）to make it easier for children to find what they are looking for. For example, when searching for ＂meow meow＂. Google produces pages for information about a drug（毒品）that has ＂meow meow＂ as its nickname（绰号）,　but Kiddle lists information only about cats, even with some cartoon pictures.

The company explained, ＂Websites which appear in Kiddle search results satisfy family-friendly requirements, as we filter websites with unhealthy content.＂

Kiddle— a Child-Friendly Search Engine
Characteristics	Only safe websites are shown. Descriptions are written in simple language. 36.1. bad words appear.

Abraham Lincoln was born in Kentucky in 1809. His mother died when he was ten years old. Later, his family moved to Illinois and his father remarried. The family was poor, so they had to struggle just to live. In Illinois, there were neither teachers nor schools, but Lincoln’s stepmother encouraged him to study. He learned to read and write while working on the farm.

At twenty-one, Lincoln left home. He soon received a law license and became a lawyer. People trusted him and began to call him “Honest Abe”.学+科网

During the following years, he took a more active part in polities. Soon he was not only a highly respected lawyer but also a well-known politician. He was elected the sixteenth president of the United States in 1860, and in the next year the Civil War broke out.

The Civil War was between the southern states that wanted to leave the Union and form their own country, and northern states that wanted to keep all the states as one country. The southern states wanted to keep the laws that allowed them to own slaves. Both the northern states and President Lincoln wanted to get rid of those laws. On April 9, 1865, the Civil War ended and all slaves were set free.

Less than a week later, on April 14, 1865, Abraham Lincoln was shot at the Ford Theater in Washington D.C. He died the next day from his wounds.

Oct.16 is World Food Day. The UN started the day in 1979. It’s used to remind people not to waste food and fight hunger.

A big number of people in the world still don’t have enough food to eat. Food shortage（匮乏）is a big problem worldwide. Right now, there are more than 1,000 million hungry people in the world according to the UN. Many children go to sleep hungry, and 15 million of them die of hunger each year.

There are several reasons why there are food shortages. First, there have been more droughts（干旱）and floods recently. Also, a growing population makes feeding everyone more difficult.

Another big reason is food waste. Most people don’t realize how much food they throw away every day. Sometimes we cook too much, or we don’t use it before it goes bad. The average（平均的）person throws away 50 kg of food every year. According to the UN, more than one third of all food produced worldwide goes to waste each year.

That is over1, 300, 000 million kilograms of food being wasted. The amount of food wasted in Europe can feed 200 million people, and the food wasted in Latin America can feed 300 million a year.

So think twice next time you want to throw away food. By cutting down on food waste, we could help put food on the empty plates of some hungry children. Only order as much food as you can eat in a restaurant. If you can’t eat all you order, take the rest home. Don’t be too picky about food so that you don’t leave any on your plate. Some food may not taste great, but your body needs it. Keep an eye on what food you have at home. Don’t buy too much. Don’t cook too much.

When you throw away food, you are not just wasting the food itself. Resources（资源）are also wasted while growing, transporting and cooking the food. These things all take energy, time and water.

We live in a world full of many different kinds of people. We want to get along well with others. We also want to be liked by others. The following ways will make others like you.

Do This and You’ll Be Welcome Anywhere

Become really interested in other people. A show of interest must be true. It brings good results not only to the person showing the interest, but also to the person receiving the attention. It is a two-way street—both of you get an advantage.

A Simple Way to Make a Good First Impression

Smile as often as possible. Your smile is a sign of kindness. When someone feels stressed from his or her teachers or parents, your smile is like the sun breaking through the clouds, your smile can help him or her realize that all is hopeful—that there is still joy in the world.

If You Don’t Do This, You Are Getting into Trouble

Remember a person’s name. A person’s name is the sweetest and the most important sound in any language. We should realize the magic in a name. The name makes the person different from others; it makes him or her special among all others. If you remember a person’s name, the relationship between both of you will become much closer.

An Easy Way to Become a Good Talker

Be a careful listener first. Ask questions that other persons will like to answer. Encourage them to talk about themselves and their achievements. What you need to do is just to listen, because people are much more interested in themselves.

＂USA? Britain? Which country is better to study in?＂ We often hear such discussions. As China opens its door, it is a dream for many Chinese students to study abroad. They want to learn about the outside world.

It’s true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves. Their foreign language skills will be improved and it may be easier to find jobs.

But there are problems that should be considered (考虑). Language is the first. Students must spend a lot of time learning another language. 

Students must also learn to live without parents’ care and deal with all kinds of things they haven’t had to do before, like looking after themselves. There are reports about Chinese students abroad sinking into an ocean of difficulties and giving up finally. When they have to take care of themselves, it is hard for students to study well.

Finally, studying abroad brings a heavy burden（负担）to the family. For most Chinese parents, the cost of studying abroad is very high. But is it worth?

We know that there are many famous people who succeed in great things through their hard work in China. Liu Xiang is a good example. Once an American teacher invited him there, but he refused. He kept training hard with his Chinese teacher. He surprised the world when he won a gold medal at the Athens Olympic Games. So when you wonder which country is better to study in, think again.

Do you have the following experiences?

★When you talk through a park, a noise from the background is becoming louder and clearer. Then you can find that a group of women who are gathering at the side of path. In the cold breeze(微风) of winter, they’ re moving their arms and legs to rhythm(节奏).

★You want to sleep late into noon on weekend mornings, but find it impossible because the seniors(年长者) have been dancing since the early hours, make a lot of noise.

★Sometimes, you want to have a rest or take a walk with friends in a quiet park, only to be interrupted (被阻止/打断的) by music associated(联系/联盟/陪伴) with a group dancing. It is really an annoying problem.

This kind of dancing is called Square Dancing. It seems that if you go around China, you can see these dancing everywhere in the public space. Also in foreign countries, Chinese Square Dancing is very famous. On January 14, 2015, Chinese seniors danced on the square out of the stadium(体育馆) where a soccer game between China and Uzbekistan(乌兹别克斯坦) was being held during the Asian Cup in Brisbane(布里斯班).

But in Britain dancing in public is not a cultural habit. You won’ t see any age group swinging their arms and tapping their feet in a park. Usually, they just take a walk for exercise.

Most people think that Square Dancing should be stopped. It disturbs people and makes people feel annoyed. But do you know why these women choose Square Dancing?

For seniors in China, to dance together is a way to keep healthy and be social. With most of them old-aged, they have lots of free time to do whatever they like. There is no more work and their kids have left. They will feel lonely and bored after retiring(退休). So the people who want to keep healthy and stay away from loneliness dance together. I like seeing these women enjoy themselves. They remind us of the importance of exercise as we get older. Besides, most of them have raised whole families. Now it is their time to have fun and enjoy some peace.
