Classic books never go out of fashion. The book The Outsiders first came out in 1967. Although the book is old, it is still worth reading. It is written by US writer S.E.Hinton.

The book tells the story of a 14-year-old boy called Ponyboy Curtis. He struggles with difficult issues of right and wrong in a society where he is an outsider. The story took place in Oklahoma, US, in 1965.

In the book, the children are divided into two groups. One includes Curtis and Greasers. It is mostly made up of poor kids. They have longer hair and often smoke at a young age. The other group is called the Socs, which is made up of rich children. They wear expensive clothes and drive high-tech cars. Those two groups do not get along well. The book only shows us two weeks of the boys' life.

I was touched by the friendship among the boys. When any of them has a problem, the others will help. Although they are not well educated(教育), they are kind and brave. For example, when Johnny was hurt and in hospital, his friends visited him almost every day. They brought him food and told him interesting stories. I always dream of having a strong friendship like this.

This book shows the good personalities(品质) in those ordinary people. I advise that teenagers read this book and I hope they can enjoy it.

It's important to have positive feelings in our daily life. Compared with some unhappy people, those who are always pleased and relaxed are less likely to get colds, according to a new study. The researchers from New York University said, " Being happy helps the bodies prevent diseases(疾病).

"It seems that positive feelings may reduce the possibility of illness," said the researcher Sheldon Cohen.

In an earlier study, Cohen's team interviewed 193 adults every day for two weeks. In this period, the people told researchers about their happy or sad feelings that day. Two weeks later, all of them were made to catch colds by doctors, and each of them had to stay alone in a room for six days.

The results showed that each in the study was equal to fall ill. But people who were lively and relaxed said they felt happy during the research. Their illnesses were less serious and lasted for shorter time.

Cohen believes that when people have positive feelings, their body may produce a kind of chemical that helps to fight illnesses. So if you care about your health, please look on the bright side and make yourself happy all the time.

Dear Mary,

How are things with you?1.. As I told you yesterday, I am in Rome today. Tomorrow we are getting the train down into the south of the country and then the ship across to Greece. I can't wait to arrive in Athens to see all that history. 2..

We started in England and we spent two days in London and another day in Canterbury. We visited lots of places and enjoyed its history. And the only bad thing was the weather---it rained for the whole time while we were there. Can you believe it?

At least, when we got to Paris, the sun was shining! We only stayed for one morning in the French capital.3.. Well, I have to say I prefer the American Disneyland. But we met some nice people from Canada and spent two great days with them. One of them, David, is going to your university next year. What a coincidence(巧合)!

David and his wife left us once we got to Germany by train.4.. Wow--what a great city! I bought you a surprise gift there. I hope you will like it.

After that, we went to south into Switzerland. It was very expensive and we couldn't stay as long as we wanted, so that's why we're in Italy now!

OK, that's enough from me for now.5..

See you soon.

Lily

Dolphins are not fish. They are mammals. They live in groups and speak to each other in their own language. But they aren't the same as almost all land animals. Their brains are as big as men's and they live a long life--- at least 20 or 30 years.

Like some animals, dolphins use some sounds to help them find their ways around. They also use sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food. They don't use their ears to receive sounds, but use the jaws(下颚).

It's strange that dolphins are friendly to man, and for thousands of years, there are many stories about dolphins and man. In the 19th century, in a dangerous part of the sea near New Zealand, there was a dolphin. The seamen liked him very much and gave him a very good name, Jack. From 1871 to 1903, Jack met every ship in the area and showed it the way. In 1903, a passenger on a ship with the name of " The Penguin" shot and hurt Jack. Luckily the dolphin didn't die, and after a long time he was well again. He guided the ships through the area for nine more years, but he refused to help the ship " The Penguin".

Today, some people still kill dolphins, but more people in the world protect them.
