　　How do you get across a river?A bridge is the best way．In some places, there are no bridges．People use the ferry(渡船)．A ferry is a boat that takes people and cars across the river．

　　Both ends of a ferry look the same．The ferry never has to turn around．It docks(靠岸)at one side of the river．People and cars get on．At the other side, the ferry docks again．The people and cars get off．Other cars and people get on．And then the ferry goes back across the river．

　　In many places, bridges are now taking the place of ferries．In 1964, the longest bridge in the world was built in New York over Now York Bay(湾)．It is called the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge．This bridge has two roads, one over the other．Each road is wide enough for six lanes(行道)of traffic．

　　One Sunday morning, I decided to buy a computer to use for school．I went to the biggest store in town, which sold all kinds of computers．There were so many computers there that I didn't know how to choose a right one．

　　“Hi!What can I do for you?”A young man greeted me with a sweet smile．He looked like not a salesman but a student like me．I sensed a strange feeling－as if I had met him before．He began patiently showing me each model．With his help, I decided to buy one computer with enough functions at a very low price．I enjoyed this shopping experience because of his smile．A few months later, something was wrong with my computer．I went back to the store to have it fixed．When I arrived there, what I saw first was still his smile．As soon as I told him my problem, he comforted me immediately and tried his best to solve the problem for me．I was quite grateful to him for his sweet smile and good service．

　　When I went back to school, his smile often appeared in my mind．I don't know whether we'll meet each other again, but his sweet smile will stay there in my memory and deep in my heart．Smiling is the most peaceful language in the daily life．

　　Earlier this month, a solar-powered(太阳能动力的)plane took off to the sky for the first time．It had passed an important test on the way to travel around the world．

　　The plane took off from an airport in Switzerland(瑞士)at 45km an hour．It slowly rose above the fields and into the sky．

　　“There has never been an airplane of that kind that could fly-never an airplane so big, se light, using so little energy,”said Bertrand Piccard, a leader of the project．

　　During the 90-minute flight, the plane did several turns．It climbed nearly 1.6km above the countryside．

　　Engineers plan to test a night flight before July．Then they will use the results of the tests to build a second plane．They plan to travel around the world in that plane in 2012．

　　“We want to fly it day and night with no fuel,”Piccard said．

　　Piceard and the pilot Andre Borschberg will take the plane around the world．They will make a few stops to change places and rest after a long time in the air－and to show off(展示)their plane．The plane flies at 70 kph on average．That is faster than a bike and slower than a car．The pilots will keep the plane in the air for up to five days at a time．

　　Everyone worries．But how do you deal with your worries?Whether your worries are big or small, you can take these three steps to deal with your worries：

　　1．Try to find out what you're worded about

　　Sometimes, you will know what you're worried about．Other times, you might not．Try to find it out first; if you can't, you can ask for help．

　　2．Think of ways to make it better

　　There is always something you can do to help you feel less worded．Sitting there worrying is no fun and it won't solve your problem．

　　Grades at school are often top worries for kids．If you're worded about grades, ask yourself these questions：

　　★Why are grades important?What do grades mean to me?

　　★How do I get ready for class?Do I go over my notes even when there isn't a test?

　　★Do I have a good place to do my homework?

　　★Have I tried different ways of studying?

　　If your worry is about a fight you had with a friend, you might write down all the things you could do：write a note to him or her, invite him or her to a basketball game, say sorry to him or her, etc．Once you have a list of things you could do, you can choose the one that gets your friend back．

　　3．Ask for help

　　When you're worried, it can help to find someone to talk to．You can ask your parents, friends, or teachers for help．
