Teenager Jake Deham was skiing with his family in the USA when he fell over and lost one of his skis. His family didn't know that he had a problem. They kept on skiing. When they got to the foot of the mountain, there was no sign of Jake.

    Jake couldn't find his ski anywhere. In the end, he decided to take off his other ski and walk down the mountain. But he couldn't work out the right way to go.

    It was now getting dark and he was a long way from any place of safety. He knew that he might die that night in the cold temperatures. But Jake kept calm. At home, Jake watched a lot of programs about living in difficult situations. He remembered the advice from these programs and knew that he should build a hole in the snow. He made a hole and pointed it up the hill so the wind couldn't blow into it. Outside his hole, the temperature fell to a dangerous-15℃ that night, but inside it Jake was safe from the cold.

    But he had to get down the mountain. The TV programs always said," If you are lost, you should find someone else's tracks(足迹) through the snow and follow them." "I wanted to live my life." remembers Jake." So I got up and I found some ski tracks and I followed those." He walked and walked and finally he saw lights. Nine hours after he lost his ski, he found a team of worker who came to save him. He was safe!

    His mum was very happy when she heard the news. Amazingly, Jake didn't even have to go to hospital. He got through the terrible experience without any injuries.

    So, the next time someone says that watching TV is a waste of time, think of Jake. Sometimes TV can save your life!

Wang Fa is from Yunnan Province. In late August,2022, the 14- year- old boy. won the men's singles under 14 years old at a tennis junior tour in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province.

According to him, tennis has changed his life. Wang was among the first group of kids learning to play tennis in Cangyuan. When he was eight, his coach Zhang Xiaohong chose him.

At that time, he didn't know what tennis was. His parents didn't want him to learn tennis at first because they couldn't pay for it. Zhang offered to teach him for free because he thought it would be a waste(浪费) not to train such a talent.

The first time Wang and his friends left the mountains, they were thrilled. However, several days later, some of them wanted to return home. To comfort(安慰) them, Zhang offered them delicious food and toys.

Every day, the children got up at 6:30 am, practised all day and took classes at night. The team travelled to cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Chengdu for competitions. Wang's first competition was in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province.

"I was nervous, because the outside world was so different from my home," he said." But tennis helped me make more friends and get a better education."

On camera, Wang looked confident. He said he wanted to be a professional(专业的) tennis player.

Li found that her son did not often cook at home because he was always busy working. He would like to order take-out food, although he thought it was bad for his health. After talking with her son, Li decided to provide （提供）a "one-week-menu" service for buyers at her vegetable stall.

After buyers order, Li washes and cuts up vegetables, and also tells them how to cook. "Nowadays young people dislike spending time in wandering （游荡） in the vegetable market. I make weekly menus and help them prepare ingredients （配料） so that they can just buy and cook directly at home." she said. So a lot of people like Li's thoughtful preparation.
