Last Wednesday, about 7,400 American bankers went back to school again. This timethey did not go to learn—they went to teach. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} 1997，the American Bankers Association hassponsored Teach Children to Save Day. Every April 26, bankers across the USAteach over 1.5 million primary and secondary school students how to handle {#blank#}2{#/blank#}money.

      In the USA, children, especially teenagers, are often big spenders. In 2013, forexample, American teenagers spent $175 billion. This is {#blank#}3{#/blank#} average of $104per week per teenager. Few teenagers have any savings. They typically spendmoney as fast as they can. Nearly all will continue their {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(spend) habits whenthey grow up.

      It's necessary that children learn proper money management {#blank#}5{#/blank#} they are stillyoung. The bankers show students how to budget and make smart {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(decide)about money. They explain how to balance their expenses against their income.They help the students understand their family's shopping and householdexpenses as well. Of course，students{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(teach) how to invest and save money too.

AsBenjamin Franklin said, “A penny saved is a penny earned.” Moreover, money{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(save) at interest can increase greatly in value over time. Children, {#blank#}9{#/blank#}adults, need to understand the value of saving money. This is {#blank#}10{#/blank#} TeachChildren to Save Day is all about.

    S. T. Harvey wrote a children's book Miracle, a fictional story about trying to fit in when you stand out. Since it was released earlier this year, the book {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (appear) in classrooms and libraries {#blank#}2{#/blank#} the country, bringing with it {#blank#}3{#/blank#} powerful message about the importance of kindness.

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (base) on a true story, the book tells about a boy named Auggie,  {#blank#}5{#/blank#}was born with a misshapen face that has required many {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (operate) in the 10 years since his birth. {#blank#}7{#/blank#} being homeschooled since kindergarten, he starts fifth grade at a public school. It isn't easy being the new kid, especially since Auggie looks different from everybody {#blank#}8{#/blank#} The book takes readers on a journey, as Auggie and his community learn about {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (friend) and acceptance.

    Harvey worked as an art director and graphic designer for more than 20 years before she {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (inspire) to write Miracle. Now she is using the book to promote the impact of kindness.

    Walking is the UK's most popular sport. It has {#blank#}1{#/blank#} interesting history. In April 1932, 400 people {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (leave) Manchester and Sheffield in Northern England to walk across Kinder Scout in the Pennines. They fought {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the fact that only rich people, {#blank#}4{#/blank#}went there to kill birds, could visit this beautiful area. Because of the walk, National Parks in England and Wales finally began in 1949, as well as the Pennines Way, one of twenty long, {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(wonder) paths.

    You don't have to walk the whole way if you are on one of the long paths. And there {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (be)a great number of shorter paths for you to choose. But there are afew basic {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (rule) you should follow. Don't drop paper and plastic; close gates after you; keep dogs on lead(绳索)if there are farm animals in the area; stay on the path.

    Also, remember that British weather can change very quickly, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (especial) in the hilly north and west of the country. If you are in Wales, Scotland {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the north of England, carry plenty of food and water, as well as warm clothes. National Parks and footpaths are the best way {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(enjoy).

    Britain's glorious, varied countryside.

    In South Korea smartphone cases come with rings fixed on the back {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (prevent) clumsy owners from dropping them. This makes people look like they are married to their phones. In lots of Seoul's coffee {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (shop), couples on dates spend much more time looking at their screens {#blank#}3{#/blank#} at each other. The results go beyond the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (potential) terrible consequences for romance.

    Walk around the streets of Seoul, and there is {#blank#}5{#/blank#} real risk of bumping into people {#blank#}6{#/blank#} eyes are glued to their smartphone screens. According to the statistics, around 370 traffic accidents annually {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (cause) by pedestrians using smartphones.

    The government initially tried to fight the "smombie" (手机僵尸) phenomenon by distributing hundreds of stickers (贴纸) around cities, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (beg) people to "be safe" and look up. This seems to have had little effect even though, in Seoul at least, it recently replaced the stickers with stronger plastic boards.

    Instead {#blank#}9{#/blank#} appealing to people's good sense, the authorities have therefore turned to trying to save them from being run over. Early last year, they {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (begin) to test floor-level traffic lights in smombie hotspots in central Seoul. Since then, the experiment has been extended around and beyond the capital. For the moment, the government is keeping old-fashioned eye-level pedestrian lights as well. But in future, the way to look at a South Korea crossroads may be down.
