    During the years of game making, there have been a number of games. Many old games have gone since modern games came out.

Teachers at a primary school asked their students to write articles about games they knew and were surprised by the results. Half of the 50 children in one of the classes wrote about online games. It is easy to see that traditional games like hide-and-seek and jump rope games are unfamiliar(不熟悉的) to many of today's schoolchildren. They like to play computer games, especially in the cities, with the rising popularity of TV, the Internet, video and online games.

    An educationist said, "Traditional games used to be so popular, but over just a few years, kids have forgotten them. It's sad."

    The games that many parents once played were generally outdoor activities which were enjoyed by students during breaks or after school. They usually needed several partners and just a little space.

    Jump rope games, for example, have always been popular in many countries around the world. A kind of jump rope game, played with rubber bands(橡皮筋) which are connected together to make a long rope, is played in many countries.

    Rubber band jumping was once very popular in primary schools. Girls loved playing this game. It can help kids practise their jumping skills and develop coordination(协调性), and also help them meet lots of friends.

    It is common these days to see primary school students spending their breaks in the classroom. They are busy with their studies.

    "When we were young, we played many different outdoor games, but today's children don't know what to play or how to play," a 40-year-old mother said. "They don't know what teamwork is."

Being worried by the situation, educational officers have tried to make some programmes to educate children on traditional games.

Beethoven, a famous musician in the world, was born in Germany in 1770.

In his childhood Beethoven didn't have a happy life. His father was a singer. When he was only four, his father began to make him practise hour after hour on different musical instruments (乐器). If he did not put his heart into it, his father would beat him or make it hard on him.

Beethoven loved music and he learned so fast that he was able to go around to give concerts, when he was only a boy of eleven. At the age of seventeen, lie won high praise from Mozart, the greatest musician at that time.

    Beethoven was often poor and in during his life. After one illness, lie suddenly found he couldn't hear at that time, he was only thirty-one. It was a great blow (打击) to him.

    But he still went on working and writing music pieces. To people's surprise, he wrote some of his best pieces after he lost his hearing.

In 1827, the great musician died. He leer more than 300 pieces. But people still remember his name today.

Father gives all for daughter

    One day, an 11-year-old girl asked her dad, "What are you going to get me for my 15th birthday."

    The father replied, "Don't worry about that. You still have lots of time."

    But on a day after her 14th birthday, she passed out and was rushed to the hospital.

    The family learned that the girl had a serious heart disease (疾病)and that she might die.

    At night, she asked her dad "Daddy, have they told you that I am going to die."

    The father replied. "No, you will live as long as anyone else."

    She was surprised. "How can you be sure?"

    He turned to her and said, "I just know it."

    After the girl turned15, he had a heart transplant(心胜移植手术). After recovering(恢复), she came home to find a letter on her bed.

    It said, "My dearest daughter, if you are reading this, it means that everything went as I told you it would. One day you asked me what I would give you for your 15th birthday. I wasn't sure then. But now you know that my gift to you is my heart. "The father had donated(捐赠) his heart to his daughter.

    Parents are selfless（无私的). They often make great sacrifices(牺牲) to make their children happy. Keep this in mind when you feel angry toward your parents. They're just what they think is best for you.

Amy wanted a mobile phone as her birthday gift, because most of her classmates had one, but she knew her parents couldn't afford it.

One day, when she woke up, she found a new mobile phone on her desk. How excited she was!This was the phone that had appeared in fashion magazines.

She played with the phone on the way to school. And the teacher was already there when she arrived at school. Amy was very embarrassed （尴尬的）. She looked at her new mobile phone and whispered （低语）, "I didn't want to be late …"

Everything changed with her thought. She went to school on time with her new mobile phone.

She was surprised at that. She turned on the phone and found there was a sentence on the screen, "Every dream will come true. " Since then, she always asks the phone for help. As a result, she has become lazier and lazier. Her teachers and parents were very disappointed with her and her classmates didn't like her any more.

When the term exams came, Amy asked the mobile phone for help again, but things turned bad. She got the lowest mark in the class. She wanted to throw it away, but when she did, the phone would come back into her hand. Amy was so scared （恐惧的）that she cried out, "I don't want the mobile phone any more. "

She woke up to find that the terrible experience had been just a dream.
