Joe was an old man. The 75-year-old lived very happily in a village and had a beautiful family. Joe had four grandchildren, and they visited him during their holidays.

During one vacation, Joe was preparing his home for the kids: cleaning and buying their favorite foods. After he finished working, he realized he lost his favorite watch. The watch was a gift from his wife when their first child was born. Joe loved the watch very much, especially after his wife's death. He was very upset about losing it.

Once his grandchildren came, they promised him they would find the watch.

One granddaughter asked: "Grandpa, do you remember when you saw the watch last before it went missing?"

"I guess when I was cleaning the barn(谷仓)！" Joe replied.

The children looked for more than two hours with Joe, but they could not find it. The kids were now also sad, but they tried to comfort(安慰) their grandfather.

One grandson went back to the barn to search again. Joe asked why he was going there a second time. But the little boy just asked the others not to follow him and to remain silent.

He was there for about fifteen minutes and then rushed to his grandfather. He found the watch and happily gave it to Joe.

Joe was surprised and asked how he was able to find it. The little boy replied: "I sat there without making a noise, and the barn was so silent. After a few minutes, I heard the ‘tick, tick' sound and found the watch."

Joe hugged and thanked the little boy.

For teenagers, especially who are going to take part in the big tests, every second is valuable and we should rethink of the ways of spending our time. Whether you have spent your time in a proper way? Here are some good suggestions for you to take.

Firstly, spend time in doing things that are really important. Spend time with your family and friends, and share your feelings and thoughts with them. Enjoy a nice hot meal and eat it slowly. Give yourself time to play and spend enough time in sleeping. Little things like this may seem meaningless. But the truth is that little things matter most in life.

Secondly, you have to know what has been done cannot be undone. Do not allow your mind to stay in the past. Every day is a new start. You have to keep your eyes and ears open for tomorrow. It may not be a chance you can get immediately, but it may be a chance for new experiences.

Then, do your best in every task. If you have only one chance to do something for someone, why not do it with the best of your ability? It should not matter whether you are being praised or not. You will take pride in your work because you've done your best. Trust me, your efforts will be rewarded in time.

Lastly, every moment you spend in doing things is the time taken from your life. Don't waste your time away working day and night just for money. That is not your life's worth. The value of your time is measured by how you spend it and whom you choose to spend it with.

Have you heard of Peter Pan? Peter Pan was a magic character. He first appeared in Wendy Darling's room and searched for his lost shadow(影子). And Peter Pan has been very famous around the world ever since. The story was created by J.M.Barrie. Do you know how J.M.Barrie created it?

J.M. Barrie was born in Scotland in 1860. He moved to London and became a writer in 1885. Twelve years later, he became friends with Sylvia Davies and her five sons. He enjoyed telling the boys stories and made up the character of Peter Pan to bring them pleasure. He said Peter Pan was based on all the boys., telling them, "That is all Peter is—the spark(创作灵感) I got from you."

A play about Peter Pan was written and shown in December 1904. It was a great success. In 1911, J.M.Barrie wrote a book, Peter and Wendy. The book has been popular since it was printed for the first time. J.M.Barrie invented the name Wendy, based on Fwendy, the name that he was given as a child. The name Fwendy was based on the word "friend".
