Swimming is very popular. People like swimming in summer because water makes people feel cool. If you like swimming but swim in a wrong place, it may not be safe. These years, a lot of people die when they enjoy themselves in water, and most of them are students. Some people are not careful when they are swimming. They often think they swim so well that nothing will happen to them in water. Summer is here again. If you go swimming, don’t forget that better swimmers have died in water. They die because they are not careful, not because they cannot swim. So don’t get into the water when you are alone. Don’t get into the water if there is a “ No swimming” sign. If you remember these, swimming will be safe.

Molly had a bad day yesterday. When she got out of bed, she stepped on her favorite doll and broke her head off. She dropped her breakfast plate on the kitchen floor. At school her pencil broke in half. She fell on the ground heavily at break time and hurt her left leg. Billy put a glass of water on her head.
“I’m having a bad day,” she cried, throwing herself on her bed.
“What’s the matter, Molly?” her mom asked. Molly couldn’t stop crying to tell her mom about them.
“I know what will make you happy. Come with me,” her mom thought for a moment and said. They walked down the street to the park. Mom pushed Molly on the swing(秋千).
“Wow! This is fun,” Molly laughed.
They took their shoes off and played in the stream. Both of them ate bananas and ice creams. The ice creams dripped (滴) on to their clothes, but Mom didn’t mind.

Just how popular was Mini? Very. Every year her classmates voted(推举) her the favorite student. The friends she had were much more than those of anyone else.
One day Mini was caught yakkety-yakking(大声说笑) and ordered to stay back as punishment(惩罚). Staying back meant doing something “useful”, like helping in the library after school.
Now Mini’s school had a rule. Once a month, if you had something else to do the day you were punished, you could ask a friend to stand in for you.
Unluckily, her aunt was visiting Mini that day. That afternoon was the only chance Mini had of seeing her for another five years.
Mini needed someone to stand in for her. She asked Betty, her “best” friend. “Oh, no, Mini, I can’t,” Betty said. “I must help my brother do his homework.”
“Tony, will you stay back for me?” Mini asked another friend. “I wish you’d told me earlier. I have to go to a relative’s house with my father,” he said.
Now, Mini was beginning to doubt(怀疑) if even one of her friends would agree to stay. But she tried again. She asked three more friends and each one refused.
So, after school Mini stayed to help the librarian. And, when she found Mini crying after everyone had left, it was she who surprised Mini by allowing her to leave to meet her aunt. “I may have many friends,” Mini said to herself, “but in reality I have none.”

When we talk about how teenagers are getting worse and worse now, most young people don’t agree. Teenagers always say they are growing up. They can have part-time jobs. And they can even drive a car.
Their parents say, “Our children are very good. They like pop music and they play it in their own rooms. They help us in the house. You know they feel bored sometimes because there’s nothing interesting in the neighbourhood, no clubs, and no sports.”
A teacher says that he believes most young people are very kind. He thinks that it’s not bad for young people to like loud music because it can give them lots of energy and makes them feel excited. Also, a lot of young people work very hard at school, and they can get good jobs later.
Lewis, a sixteen-year-old boy said, “I have passed all my examinations but I can’t get a part- time job because older people always think I’ m lazy.”
In my opinion, a lot of teenagers are very kind. They belong to community(社区) work groups. They help old people, and they also volunteer in local hospitals or primary schools to help look after patients and younger students.
