　　A man once had a dream about the Black Forest in Germany．In his dream he was walking in the forest when two men ran out and tried to throw him to the ground．He ran off as fast as he could, but they followed him．He reached a place where he saw two roads in front of him, one to the right and the other to the left．Which road should he take?He heard the two men behind him, getting nearer, and at the same time he heard a voice in his ear．It told him to go to the right, and he did so．He ran on and soon came to a small hotel．He was received there kindly and given a room, and he was saved from the two men．That was the dream．

　　Twenty years later he was really in the Black Forest and, as happened in the dream long ago, two men ran out and tried to throw him down．He ran off, and came to a place with two roads, like in the dream．He remembered the dream and took the road to the right．He soon reached a small hotel, was taken in, and so was safe．His dream of twenty years before had saved his life．

　　If you are a teenage boy, and you want to succeed in life, you'd better read this great book．

　　"From Boys to Men"by an American writer, Michael Gurian, tells teenage boys that they are living through the best years of their lives．There is no reason for them not to love life．

　　You may think that only your body is growing at the moment．But the book says your mind is growing, too．The book tells teenage boys that they need to help their bodies and minds grow．To do this, they should stop spending their time playing computer games and should start playing sports．Sports, the book says, keep you healthy and teach you important life skills．They teach you how to be a leader and how to work as part of a team．

　　The book also tells boys how to love life if they're being bullied(被欺负)．It says boys have to stop being scared(害怕的)of such bullies．It is the only way they can become more successful people．

　　To become the man you want to be, you have to think for yourself and believe in yourself．But, most importantly, the book says, you must always dream of success．Never be happy with what you've got, and always want more．

　　Music is an international language．Popular music in America is what every student likes．Students carry small radios with earphones and listen to music before class, after class, and at lunch．Students with cars buy large speakers and play music loudly as they drive on the street．Adult drivers listen to music on the car radio as they drive to work．They also listen to the news about sports, the weather, politics, and activities of American people．Most of the radio broadcast are music．

　　Pop or popular music singers make much money．They make CDs or tape which radio stations use in every state．Once the popular singer is heard all over the country, young people buy his or her tape．Some of the money from these tapes comes to the singer．Wherever the singer goes, all the young people want to meet him or her．Now the singer has become a national star．

　　There are other kinds of music that are important to Americans．One is called folk music．It has stories about the common life of Americans．Another is called western or country music．This was started by cowboys who would sing at night to the cows they were watching．Today, any music about country life and the love between a country boy and his girl is called western or country music．Serious music for the concert halls is called classical music．Music for instruments is called orchestra music, such as the symphonies of Beethoven．

　　In the village Mr．Black’s friend asked him and the boy to have dinner, Mr．Black enjoyed the man’s dinner, but he saw the boy still looked worried．“Dad won’t like this!”the boy said in a low voice．“Dad won’t like this．”“Don’t worry too much,”said Mr．Black．“Just be careful next time．Now have your dinner, and you needn’t hurry．”

　　"I don't like my parents．They always tell me I should do this, and should not do that．It sometimes makes me angry,"said Zhang Hua , a middle school student in Guangzhou．Do you have the same problem?Perhaps your parents had the same problem when they were your age long ago．Why does it seem that some parents are not so friendly in their children's eyes?

　　One of the biggest things is when someone becomes a parent, he/she likes worrying things．They worry about everything about you, from the time you were born．They do a lot for you, though something would make you angry, because they care about you and worry about you．They worry about your choice of friends, the food you eat, your work at school, how much sleep you get, etc．All these things are part of your life．They want you to grow up healthily and happily．

　　So how can you make things easier on yourself?It's easier than you think．Just make sure your parents know what you're doing．Get them to know your friends．Phone if you stay somewhere else so that your parents don't call every hospital in the phone book looking for your body．Say sorry to them when you make mistakes．Take responsibility(责任)for what you have done．Talk about your ideas with them．They may talk about theirs with you．

　　Most of all, try to think about why your parents do this or do that．They are still practising being parents and need help you can give them．Someday, when you become a parent, they may be able to help you how to get on with your children．

　　When you cut your skin, you bleed(流血)．If a person loses a lot of blood, he will become ill and may die．Blood is very important．People have always known that．At one time, some people even drank blood to make them strong!

　　When doctors understand how blood goes around inside the body, they try ways of giving blood to people who need it．They take blood from the healthy people and give it to people who need it．This is called"blood transfusion"．The blood goes from the arm of the healthy person into the arm of the sick person．

　　But there are two problems．First, it does not always work．Sometimes people die when they have blood transfusion．Later, doctors find that we do not all have the same kind of blood．There are four groups－O, A, B and AB．We all have blood of one of these groups．They also find that they can give any kind of blood to people of group AB．But they find that they must give A－group blood to A－group people and B－group blood to B－group people．I have O－group blood and the doctor told me that I could give blood to anyone else safely．

　　There is another problem．To give blood of the right kind, doctors have to find a person of the right blood group．Often they can not find a person in time．If they have a way to keep the blood until someone needs it, they can always have the right kind of blood．At first they find they can keep it in bottles for fifteen to twenty days．They do this by making it very cold． Then they find how to keep it longer．In the end they find a way of keeping blood for a very long time．

　　We call a place where we keep money a "bank"．We call a place where we keep blood a"blood bank"．One day, when you grow up, you may decide to give blood to a "blood bank" ．In this way you may stop someone from dying．Or perhaps one day you may become ill． You may need blood． The "blood bank" will give it to you．

　　On 26th January, the biggest earthquake(地震)in India took the lives of 25, 000 people．In the morning, when everybody was enjoying holiday, earthquake began．It was about 7.5 on the Ritcher scale．"There is nothing left between the sky and the earth any more．Everything has been pulled down,"said one of the villagers alive．"There is no water, no food and no one has come to help．"

　　Nobody died in Pakistan, a country next to India．The City of Lahore was lucky．In Lahore American School, where I was studying, all of the students were safe．They were on the field, so most children didn't feel anything．The earthquake was felt by the teachers that were on the second floor．However, though Mrs Young was also on the second floor, she didn't feel anything．She didn't know what happened until a teacher told her about it．Those teachers who were on the other floors had different feelings．Mr Emond, the maths teacher from Australia, said that when the earthquake started he thought there was something wrong with him, but then another teacher said that it was an earthquake．After those words Mr Emond felt better．Mrs Davis and Mr Frost didn't feel anything either．

　　My mother didn't feel anything．She didn't even know that it was an earthquake till she saw a shaking(moving from side to side)light．My dad saw the computer shaking and then he looked out of the window and saw many people going out．

　　It is said that all the dreams serve a purpose(目的)．While there is no agreement among scientists about why we dream, there are many ideas about the different kinds of dreams we have．

　　One common kind of dream is the repeating dream, in which the same story is repeated again and again, often for many months or even years．Some believe these are a sign people have a problem in their life and once that problem is gone then the dream will stop．Others think they are a way to help people remember something very important．

　　Another well－known kind of dream is the nightmare．The pictures and stories in such dreams make people very afraid and dreamers usually remember them far more clearly than normal dreams．The cause of such dreams may be seeing something frightening such as a car accident or some dead snakes．Others think such dreams may be trying to make a person pay attention to something that is dangerous in their life．

　　Daydreams happen during wake－time when we forget where we are or what we are doing and find ourselves in a made－up story or unreal word．We often daydream when we are doing something that is not interesting or exciting．They help us think about our future．

　　Lucid(清醒的)dreams are the most fun．These happen when dreamers suddenly understand that they are dreaming．Instead of waking up, they stay in the dream and are able to control what happens in the dream as if they are making a movie．
