　　We use passwords(密码)to keep our personal information secret and safe, but some passwords we use may not be as reliable as we think．

　　Splash Data, a computer security company, recently released a list of the 25 worst passwords of 2011．This list is based on the research of hackers' files containing stolen passwords．According to the list, “password” is the worst and most common password．Many others on the list are numbers in order either forward(for example,1234)or backward．Letters on the keyboard in order, such as “qwerty” are also common, as well as some first names and animals．“Hackers can easily break into many accounts(账户)just by trying common passwords again and again, ” said Morgan Slain, CEO of Splash Data．

　　How can you make a strong password? It should be eight characters or more, with a mix of letters, numbers and symbols．One way to create a long and easy-to-remember password is to separate short words with spaces or numbers．Having safe passwords is necessary for surfing the Internet safely．But it's not the only thing you must do to keep safety online．Here are some other web safety tips：

　　●Never give out information that will allow someone to find you offline．That includes your full name, address and phone number．

　　●Don't include your real name as part of your online screen name．

　　●Never meet people you met on the Internet in person．If you insist on breaking this rule, meet in a very public place and consider taking an adult with you．

　　Top 10 worst passwords：

　　1．password

　　2．123456

　　3．12345678

　　4．qwerty

　　5．abc123

　　6．monkey

　　7．1234567

　　8．letmein

　　9．trustno1

　　10．dragon

　　Do you want to live a happier, less stressful(有压力的) life? Try laughing for no reason at all．That's how millions of people start their day at Laughter(笑声) Clubs around the world and many doctors now think that having a good laugh might be one of the best ways to stay healthy．

　　The first Laughter Club was started in Mumbai, India, in 1995 by Dr．Madan Kataria．“Young children laugh about 300 times a day．Adults laugh between 7 and 15 times a day,” says Dr．Kataria．“Everyone is naturally good at laughing － it's the common language．We want people to feel happy with their lives．” There are now more than 500 Laughter Clubs in India and over 1,300 in the world．

　　Many doctors are also interested in the effects(效果) of laughter on our health．According to a 5-year study at the UCLA School of Medicine in California, with laughing there is less stress in the body．Laughter improves our health against illness by about 40％．

　　So what happens at a Laughter Club? I went along to my nearest club in South London to find out．I was quite nervous at the beginning of the class, to be honest, I wasn't interested in laughing with a group of strangers, and I was worried about looking silly．Our laughter teacher told us to clap our hands and say “ho ho ho, ha ha ha” while looking at each other．However, our bodies can't tell the difference between real laughter and unreal laughter, so they still produce the same healthy effects．

　　Surprisingly, it works! After ten minutes everybody in the room was laughing for real and some people just couldn't stop! At the end of the class I was surprised by how relaxed and comfortable I felt．So if you're under stress, then start laughing．You might be very pleased with the results．

　　Betty and I are best friends．Our birthdays are on the same day, so every year we have a birthday party together．But this year, we had a costume party instead．

　　While we were writing the invitations, my mum came in and asked, “Why not invite John?” John had been in our class for only a few months, but he was already getting better grades in math than anyone else in class．I wrinkled(皱起) my nose, “Mum, he wears the same pants to school every day．How could he even afford a costume?” Mum said nothing．The next day, mum gave me an envelope with a shopping certificate(凭证) in it．“I thought it would be nice for you to give this to John．” Mum said．But how? We didn't want to make John embarrassed．We discussed it for a long time．Finally, Betty and I had a good idea．

　　On the day of our party, kids arrived, dressed differently．John arrived, in an old sheet(床单), but still in the same brown pants as usual．We danced, ate snacks and played games in groups．Before eating the birthday cake, Betty said in a loud voice, “Now it's time for the great prize game．It's the following riddle…” It was a math game．None of us was surprised when John came up with the right answer first and walked off with the envelope．

　　Everything went on well as we planned．John wore a new pair of pants and a new shirt the next week．He felt happy．So did we．

　　When we help others, we need to find a proper way, or we may hurt them in another way．

　　Once there was a huge apple tree．A little boy loved to come and play around it every day．He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him．

　　Time went by-the little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree every day．One day, the boy came back to the tree and he looked sad．“Come and play with me, ” the tree asked the boy．“I'm no longer a kid．I wouldn't play around the tree any more．” the boy replied．“I want toys．I need money to buy them．” “Sorry, I don't have money．But you can pick all my apples and sell them．So, you will have money．” The boy picked all the apples on the tree and left happily．The boy never came back after he picked the apples．

　　One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited, “Come and play with me, ” the tree said．“I don't have time to play．I have to work for my family．We need a house for shelter．Can you help? ” “Sorry, I don't have a house．But you can cut off my branches to build your house．” So the boy cut all the branches off the tree and left happily．The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy never came back since then．The tree was again lonely and sad．

　　One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was pleased．“Come and play with me! ” the tree said．“I am sad and getting old．I want to go sailing to relax myself．Can you give me a boat? ” “Use my trunk to build your boat．You can sail far away and be happy．” So the boy cut the tree trunk to make a boat．He went sailing and never showed up for a long time．

　　Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years．“Sorry, my boy．But I don't have anything for you any more．The only thing left is my dying root, ” the tree said with tears ①

　　“Good! Old tree root is the best place to lean on and rest．Come and sit down with me and rest．” The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears ②

　　An atlas is a book of maps．Atlases are made with different kinds of information about different parts and areas of a country or the world．They are prepared for desk use or travel use．

　　Desk atlases are made for different groups of people with different needs．For example, students may use desk atlases to help learn geography, and other people may use desk atlases to study a place．A popular type of the latest atlas shows the recent fact of the world．New atlases are often carefully produced to help people learn about the changes, such as the name changes, boundary(边界)changes and other important new information．A desk atlas can also have some different maps of the same place．For example, an atlas may include maps showing population and important products of a place．

　　Travel atlases usually show the information about both natural and man-made features(特点)．So it is not surprising to find universities, airports, forests, rivers, roads as well as cities, towns and villages in them．A travel atlas is often the first thing people need when they want to start a trip in a strange place．It often has a map of a whole country, and a map with more special information of each important place in the country．Take the atlas of the United States as an example, it often has a map of the whole country and then a map of each of the fifty states．

　　A travel atlas may also point out the beautiful natural places．In the US, the atlas may include national parks such as the Yellow Stone Park and some others to show the beauty of nature and interesting places to tourists．

　　“Why does the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side! ”

　　That's an old joke in the west, but it came to my mind again when I saw people crossing the road at the intersection of Shaanxi Road and Huaihai Road in Shanghai．

　　When the traffic light was red, a group of people were waiting for the light to change．Suddenly one man began rushing to the other side of the road．Soon others followed him at the crossing and more people did the same．Just like chickens, they didn't mind the honking horns(喇叭声)and kept crossing the road in a mess．

　　Every year several thousand people are either killed or hurt on the roads in Shanghai．And at least one third of them were jaywalking(乱穿马路)．Jaywalking is very common in Shanghai．It seems that jaywalkers are not afraid of the danger to themselves．

　　Traffic laws are to keep people safe．So we should obey them, and have good road-crossing habits．When someone starts to jaywalk, we should stop him, and never follow him．That way we can avoid the traffic accidents．
