Chinese young people love their smart phones．They play with phone apps every day．But now, a book has let them forget about their phones．The book is called Secret Garden．

    It is a colouring book for adults'．You don't have to read it, because it has almost no words．All the pages are pictures but no colours．You just need to use colour pens to paint it．An artist in Britain made the book．

    The book is now the biggest selling book on amazon．Cn．last month, it sold 25,000 copies in China．Many young people bought this book．They like it so much that they stop playing games or surfing the Internet on their phones．These people are mainly young mothers and workers．It is very difficult to take care of babies or do a good job at first, so they feel a lot of pressure．Drawing the book can help them become less nervous．

    In the past, people thought colouring books are only for children．With Secret Garden getting more and more popular, many young adults also begin to paint as a hobby．

Are Sports Important?

    Sports are all around us. We watch and read sports news. There are also sports clubs, and even sports-only channels(频道) on TV. In many countries, players make millions of dollars every year. But why are sports so important? They're only games, right?

    Our readers answer:

    Vlad (Ukraine乌克兰)

    Sports bring people together. In 2006, our team was able to play in the 2006 World Cup for the first time. Everyone was happy. Rich and poor, old and young, men and women—everyone was in the streets together!

Mike (U.S.A.)

    Sports bring people together, but they divide them too. Fans of different teams fight all the Time-they shout and hit each other. And here's another example: My brother plays high school baseball. Last week, his team played an important game. At the game, two parents fought about a call .

    Come on … baseball is only a game! Sports are so competitive (有竞争力的) these days. It's all about winning. Then the game isn't fun.

    Oba (South Africa)

    Right now, some of the world's best soccer players are from African countries, and the 2010

    World Cup games will be held in South Africa. Yes, some players make a lot of money—maybe too much, but sporting events (like the World Cup) bring tourists and money to countries and people. And that is good for Africa.

    The world is in danger. At one time there were 1,300 different plants, trees and flowers in Holland, but now only 860 remain(剩余). The others have been destroyed(破坏) by man. We are changing the earth, the air, the water and everything that grows and lives. We can't live without these things. If we continue doing like this, we will destroy ourselves.

    What will happen in the future? Perhaps it is more important to ask "What must we do now?" The people who will be living in the world of tomorrow are the young of today. A lot of them know that conservation(对自然环境的保护) is necessary. Many are helping to save our world. They plant trees and protect animals in forest. In a small town in the United States, a large group of volunteers cleaned the banks of their rivers. Young people may hear about conservation through a record called No One's Going to Change Our World. It was made by the Beatles, Cliff Richard and other singers. The money from it will help to protect wild animals.

As we all know, it's necessary for teenagers to form a reading habit. Take a look at the advantages of reading and you'll never be lazy to do that.

It helps to develop your imagination.

Reading can develop your ability to form pictures or ideas in your minds. A wonderful imagination makes your minds work well and think quickly and clearly. You'll be successful in reaching the top in many fields.

It improves your language.

Reading also improves your language. You can remember many words you read, so it can enlarge your vocabulary. It is probable for you to use those words in many situations after you read them. Reading more books helps you to express yourself better.

It makes you smarter.

Reading makes you smarter. When you read books, you can enrich your knowledge which isn't from your textbooks. It helps you be successful in school as you have already known a lot from books. What's more, you can tell what is good and what is bad through reading.

So try to form a reading habit and influence the people around you.

Making your school a better place will make everyone around you happier and will get you more exited to go every day. Besides，a better place will also make you more productive（有效益的）. The following are some of the ways to make your school a better place. 

◆{#blank#}1{#/blank#}Do not stay silent when you see another student getting hurt by others. Speak up bravely and tell them to stop. This will help create a better atmosphere（气氛）at school. 

◆Try to deal with arguments between other kids. When you see other students in an argument，you can help deal with the problem. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}After all，many argument s in school are just misunderstandings between two people. 

◆{#blank#}3{#/blank#}If you know that other students have difficulty learning a subject that you're good at，you can help them by teaching them in that subject. Helping other students to improve their grades will help create a positive atmosphere in school. 

◆{#blank#}4{#/blank#}If you notice a student who doesn't have many friends or sits alone at lunch，make it a point to become their friend. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}So why not encourage other people to become friends with them？
