    Unlike students in China. Canadian high school students usually have lots of free time, especially during weekends, since Canadian teachers often give little homework. So how do Canadian teenagers spend their weekends？ Well, volunteering makes up most of their free time.

    In Canada, volunteering is a quite common thing among people of all ages, as they believe that being helpful is one of the most important qualities to have. There are many kinds of volunteer work. Chances to help are everywhere, including in schools, shopping, malls, or even people's gardens.

    Now, I'm volunteering for a charity （慈善机构）. My job is to help the teachers at the charity's Chinese language school. I teach in a preschool class, where students are aged from 3 to 6.

    When I first started, I was quite nervous as I'd never worked with little kids before.

    Then, as time went on, I became more familiar with the students. One teacher asked me to help the youngest girl in the class draw a picture based on the word "grateful", As I was drawing and talking with her, I felt warm and peaceful and suddenly realized that it was not that difficult to work with children. When the class was over, I breathed out deeply, feeling really excited and even a little bit proud of what I'd done.

    Volunteering gives us a chance to change someone's life, including our own. It gives us the satisfaction of helping others. Volunteering is also a great way to give back to society while developing social skills and meaningful experience for the days ahead: That's also the reason why Canadian high school students have to volunteer for at least 40 hours in order to graduate. I think helping others is always good.

    Many of us like to eat out. We treat to delicious food. We are used to choosing rich, fat—filled dishes and sugar—charged desserts, which are not easily cooked at home.

The recent rise of light meals, however, gives us a choice. According to Economic Daily, low—calorie, low—fat and high—fiber （高纤维的） meals popular in China's restaurants and online food order apps.

    The country saw the fastof restaurants specializing in light meals, from just 600 in 2018 to more than 3,500 in 2019. According to a report by Meituan, a main online food order app, the number of light meals online also rose 75 percent from the past year.

    a light meal, however, doesn't mean eating only vegetables. Different from the meat—free lifestyle, a typical light dish avoids , oily and spicy food. Instead, it includes things like boiled meat, whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Healthy nutrients （营养成分） are the theme of the light meal.

    These dishes are useful for keeping healthy and controlling your weight. That'swhy so many people,especially millennials （千禧一代）, are into them.We see it as "a great way becoming heavier," wrote the Telegraph.

    These changes in eating behavior to deeper changes in how people think about food, says Walter Willett, chair of the Harvard T. Chan School of Public Health, US. "Diet quality, not quantity （数量）, is important for both weight control and long term well—being," Willett told The New York Times.

    So the next time you have a party with friends, try a light meal. It will satisfy not only your stomachs but maybe also your hearts.

    If you receive an e-mail that looks something like this: ARE YOU GOING TO CLASS TODAY? How does reading this message make you feel？ Why did the sender use all capital letters? Was he or she angry, or did that person just forget to turn off the 'Cap Lock' on the computer？Knowing when and when not to use capital letters is just one example of online etiquette （礼仪）—often called 'netiquette'. Virginia Shea's book, Netiquette, lists a basic set of dos and don'ts for communicating suitably with others on the Internet. Following are some of her suggestions.

    First, always remember that you are sending messages to a real person, not just to a computer.Also, remember that the person who receives your massage cannot hear the tone of your voice, or see the expression on your face, so make sure your meaning is clear.

     Don't take anything without paying for it, unless it's fee. Don't use information that someone else has written, and say it's yours. Don't read other people's e-mail — you wouldn't open your next—door neighbor's mailbox and open their mail, right？ Do share your knowledge of the Internet with others. It's a big place with lots of information, and there are many new things to discover.

    Remember that people judge（判断）you by your words as well as your actions so do try to write well. Good writing skills, as well as correct grammar and spelling, do matter. Send polite, well—written e—mail messages to others. If you're uncertain about how to spell a word or which phrases to use, look it up. .

    It's okay to show your ideas online in forums （论坛） like chatting room or message boards, but don't start arguments with people. "Flame wars"（口水战） in online discussions can be interesting to read, but are often unfair to other members of the group.

    When you're online or offline, just as in "real" life, try to respect other people's space, privacy and feelings. Remember, you are not the only one travelling on this highway!

A. Maybe this is somebody's habit. B. There are lots of helpful books and websites. C. Don't type anything that you wouldn't say to someone's face. D. Don't do anything online that you wouldn't do in the real life. E. The fact is, this e-mail is usually the way that people shout online. F. Express your opinions, but remember that fighting online or offline is just not suitable.

    Do you know viruses（病毒） and bacteria（细菌）? Both of them are very small, we can't see them with our eyes, and many people know nothing about them. In fact, there are a number of differences between viruses and bacteria. Bacterium, the singular form of the word bacteria, is a one—celled（单细胞） living thing, with complete sets of both RNA and DNA genetic codes（遗传密码）. For viruses, some are sections of RNA, and the others are sections of DNA. So, bacterium is at least a hundred times larger than a typical virus.

    One main difference between viruses and bacteria is the method of reproduction. A bacterium is a completely independent and self—reproducing unit. When the time is right, bacterium will divide its DNA and RNA genetic material in two. This is how bacteria live in almost every environment on Earth, including non—living things like rocks or plastic.

    A virus, on the other hand, cannot reproduce without a living host. A virus may lie for thousands of years before finally coming into a suitable host. Once it enters the body of a host, a virus will get in the living cell. Once inside a living cell, a virus takes the place of the living cell's DNA or RNA genetic instructions with its own. Those instructions are usually to make as many copies of the virus as possible.

    Ninety—nine percent of all known bacteria are considered useful to humans, or at least have no bad influence. But most viruses, on the other hand, serve no good purpose. Their only purpose is to create more viruses in order to make themselves continue to live.

    Bacteria are alive, which means they can be killed by some form of chemical things. Antibiotics（抗生素） can kill bacteria. Viruses, by comparison, are not considered living things. They cannot be 'killed' in the same way as antibiotics kill bacteria. In fact, any medicine is useless for virus' infections. The disease must run its course until the body can make a successful protection on its own.
