Johnnie Martin was born in a worker's family. His parents lived a simple life, saving money for the day when they could send him to a good university. They had dreamed that their son could get a good1and live a better life. However, to Johnnie, school lessons seemed like a wall that was hard to go through.

One day when he was in Grade 11, Johnnie went2school psychologist's office to ask for help.

"Johnnie, I've been studying your marks of all the tests at school. I've made a3 study of them," said the psychologist.

"I've been trying hard." Johnnie was about to4.

The psychologist put his hand on the boy's shoulder, "People have different kinds of talents, Johnnie.

There are painters who were5able to learn maths, and engineers who can't sing on key. Someday you will find.6you are good at, and when you do, you will7your parents and all of us very proud of you (为你骄做)."

Johnnie did as the psychologist said. He found a job working in the gardens around the town. Soon8amazing happened. His customers began to notice that Johnnie had what they called" green thumb".

In Britain you may often hear "Drop in any time" or "Come to see me soon", but you can't really do that. People just say those things to make you feel welcome. It is better to telephone before visiting someone at home. If you receive a written invitation to an event that says "RSVP", you should reply to let the person who sent the invitation know whether or not you plan to go.

You should never accept an invitation unless you really plan to go. You may refuse by saying' Thank you for inviting me, but I will not be able to come." If, after accepting, you are unable to go, be sure to tell those who are expecting you as soon as possible that you will not be there. Although it is not necessarily expected that you give a gift to your host, it is considered polite to do so, especially if you have been invited for a meal. Flowers, chocolate, or a small gift are all appropriate. A thank-you note or telephone call after the visit is also considered polite and is an appropriate way to express your appreciation for the invitation.

Childhood is a time of fun and games. Many people still remember when they often played games like hide-and-seek and chess. Playing teaches children how to get with others, and it also helps to exercise the mind and body. However, children today spend most of their time in front of the computer, playing video games.

A recent survey found that in the US Children between 8 and 12 spend at least 13 hours a week playing video games or "gaming". Boys of this age spend even more time, almost 16 hours a week. Although some people will say that gaming is helpful, it brings many problems as well.

One big problem is that kids who spend most of their time on games might have difficulty communicating with real people. They might have trouble sharing and resolving (解决) problems because they do not practice these skills when siting alone at a computer.

Another problem is about health. Game players usually sit for hours without doing any exercise. And they might not eat heath. As a result, they might be out of shape.

Next, game players might have trouble with their lessons. Many of them spend more time playing games than working on their homework. In the end, ________

Finally, it is always possible that the games become addicted. Some people play four or five hours a day or even all day. This happened to a 28-year-old Korean man. He spent about 50 hours playing an online game without sleeping or eating well. He died while gaming!

This is one example of the dangers of video gaming. It tells us that video gaming, like everything else, should not be done too much. A few hours a week should not hurt, but several hours a day just might be dangerous to your health.

Mascot(吉祥物) are great ambassadors(大使)for sporting events. You may remember the five cute "Puwa (福娃)"dolls from the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Now, get ready to meet two new mascots.

On Sept 17, there was a giant panda with a white helmet named" Bing Dwen Dwen (冰墩墩)" and a red lantern baby called" shuey Rhon Rhon"(雪容融) as the two mascots for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games(冬奥会和残奥会). These two mascots show Chinese culture. The giant panda is Chinese national treasure, and the red lantern is an important element (元素) of Chinese New Year celebrations. What's more, the panda's helmet(头盔) stands for modern society and its white color means the snow and ice of winter sports.

"The two mascots includes elements of traditional Chinese culture and a modern international style, as well as emphasizing the characteristics of ice and snow sports," Beijing 2022 Games executive presidn (执行主席) Chen Jining told Xinhua.

These two mascots show Chinese characteristics(特征). And their names express Chinese people's understanding of the Olympic spirit(精神)."'Bing" and"Shuey" mean "ice" and" snow" in English. "'Dwen Dwen" means "honest and lively" and" Rhion Rhon" has the meanings of“tolerance( 包容)"and "integration(融合)”.

"They can express the Olympic spirit They warmly invite people all over the world to come and visit China." Chen told Xinhua.

Have you heard about "Survival (生存)Holidays"? "Survival Holidays" is for children to go into the lonely place for exciting activities(活动). Now about 1,100 companies(公司)are asked to take children into the great outdoors without their parents.
