I have been trying to get sick．I don't wear a sweater when I should，and two days ago I walked in the rain without my boots and my feet got wet．But so far nothing has happened．Debbie once told me about a girl who liked to stay overnight in the infirmary（医务室）．She used to rub（摩擦）the end of the clinical thermometer（体温计）until it went up to 102．Then she'd stick it in her mouth and the nurse there would think she was really sick．

This morning I tried doing that but it never went above 94 and I rubbed it for ten whole minutes．So I held the tip（未端）of the thermometer next to the light bulb（灯泡）in my desk lamp and it went up to105．I thought I'd put it in my mouth and walk downstairs like that．Then my mother would take it out and she would be surprised when she saw what a high fever I had!

The only trouble was I didn't know the thermometer would be so hot．As soon as I put it into my mouth, I burned my tongue．Something terrible! I spit the thermometer out．It fell on the floor but it didn't break．I will have to think up a better way to get mother and father back together．I can't waste my time trying to get sick．

Xiao Jing, a Beijing girl took home a cup of iced tea for her father after having supper at McDonald’s. But when the father happily started to drink his daughter’s gift, he found that there was a filter tip (过滤嘴) inside it. Xiao Jing and her father got very angry.
This is not the first time that McDonald’s has let Chinese customers down. According to a CCTV program on World Consumer Rights Day(消费者权益保护日) on March 15, a McDonald’s restaurant in Beijing sold chicken wings 90 minutes after they were cooked. The company’s rules set a 30-minutes limit. What’s more, some workers changed desserts’ expiration dates (保质期) or even put them into a new bag or box to sell them again.
McDonald’s China released a letter of apology on their official micro blog (微博) soon after the program. “McDonald’s China pays great attention to this. We will immediately look into this accident, deal with it seriously and take practical actions to apologize (道歉) to consumers. We’ll try our best to provide healthy and safe food,” the letter said.
We all need to learn how to fight for our rights and interests. Here are some tips:
1. Learn some of the differences between real and fake, fresh and overdue (过期的) products.
2. Get the invoices（发票）for all your goods and services.
