In many places, if you do not take your wallet with you, you'll be in trouble. This is especially true in overseas airports when you want to pay for food or gifts. Luckily you can now pay without your wallet in some overseas airports.

    It's announced on Sept 26 that Chinese tourists can use the third party payment Alipay at ten airports across the world. The 10 airports are in Germany, Singapore, South Korea, New Zealand, Thailand and China's Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macao.

Digital wallets like Alipay, WeChat and Apple Pay have brought big changes to our lives.

    In April, CNN reporter Will Ripley spent a day in Beijing without his wallet. "In China's largest cities, you can definitely (肯定地) survive without carrying a pocket full of money and credit cards — as long as you've got your smart-phone," he wrote. "From small shops to large stores, a huge number of businesses in Beijing accept mobile payments."

    He paid for breakfast by scanning (扫描) a QR code on the window of a restaurant. All he had to do was enter a password.

    Then he also used his phone to pay for movie tickets, buy takeout food, order goods for delivery and hail a taxi.

    But, there is also concern about the safety of the digital wallets. "Don't think the largest payment technology has solved all of its security problems." commented Fox News.

    Bullying（欺凌）can happen to anyone. It happens to millions of children around the world. Every year, a great many children around the world are bullied, but there are things that can be done to help.

What is bullying?

    Bullying is when someone makes you feel bad or hurts you again and again. Bullying can happen at school, out of school or online. Bullying includes:

calling people mean（恶意的）names.

laughing at people.

telling lies about people.

taking someone's things without permission（允许）.

not letting someone play in a group, hitting people.

What is cyber-bullying?

    Cyberbullying happens online and includes:

sending bad messages online, sharing photos online without permission,

not letting someone be in an online group, spreading lies online

What can you do?

     If someone is not kind of you, tell an adult who you know and like. For example, talk to parent or a teacher.

    If you get bad messages, don't reply. You should save them and give them to your teacher, your family or the police. Ask an adult for help. Don't share something before you make sure it is true. That will stop the cyberbullying.

    Talk to your parents or teacher or an adult if you are worried about a friend.

    Say sorry if you are not kind to someone. You can write a message or talk to the person. And always remember: think about how to be kind in the future.

    Are you good with money? Do you get pocket money from your parents or do you work to make money? Read on to find out about British teenagers and their money!

    Pocket money

    Most teenagers in Britain receive pocket money from their parents. They might have to do some housework to get pocket money, including cleaning, cooking, washing dishes and so on.

    Part-time work

    A part-time job is a choice for teenagers who don't have pocket money or who want to get extra money. About 15% teenagers have a job. Only children over the age of 13 can work. Popular part-time jobs for teens include babysitting, delivering (递送) newspapers, restaurant work and shop work. Children in Britain can work two hours a day at the most on a school day but not during school hours. During weekends and school holidays, they can work longer hours.

    Bank accounts (账户)

    Some children and teenagers have a bank account. There is no age limit at which you can open a bank account, but a bank manager can decide whether to open an account for a child or a young person. Parents can put pocket money directly into their child's bank account. Most banks have a prepaid bank card designed for young people.

    Mobile apps

    Many companies have made mobile apps for children, including GoHenry, Osper and Gimi. Parents can add money to their children's accounts and check to see how the money is spent. Children can choose to save their money or spend it using a card. The apps suggest that kids from 8 to 13 can use the cards.

    So, many teenagers are getting experience working part-time, dealing with banks and deciding whether to save or spend their money. These are all steps towards becoming a financially independent (经济独立的) person and making and looking after your own money.

    In life, there will always be some people or things that deeply touch you, or even change some of your ideas.

    On my way to school, I always see some people w{#blank#}1{#/blank#} in orange color and sweeping the street. They are city cleaners. People always d{#blank#}2{#/blank#} them as beauticians of the city. However, their work is really hard!

    Last week, our school carried out a social practice activity. I f{#blank#}3{#/blank#} a sanitation (环卫) worker Aunt Hu to experience. As we walked, we w{#blank#}4{#/blank#}. Aunt Hu went to clean up the rubbish when she saw it. I also c{#blank#}5{#/blank#} some leaves and waste paper into a plastic bag. After five minutes, I felt a little tired. It was very hot. How I wanted to find a cool place to have a rest! But Aunt Hu didn't mean to stop even though there was much sweat (汗) p{#blank#}6{#/blank#} over her face. Just at this time, a banana peel fell on the ground. I looked up and saw that it was t{#blank#}7{#/blank#} by a fashionable girl! I was very angry, but Aunt Hu picked it up silently and put it in the dustbin. At this moment, I was touched d{#blank#}8{#/blank#}. She left the dirt and tiredness to herself and the tidiness to us, but the girl turned a blind eye to her job!

    City cleaners are worth our high regard. Thanks to them, the public environment has become clean and c{#blank#}9{#/blank#}. The news reports how the public respects the touching news of these lovely people. We are glad to see the public's a{#blank#}10{#/blank#} to the little people.

Have you ever had lucid (清醒的) dreams? Recent studies suggest that the number of people having them is on the rise. Someone having a lucid dream realizes they are dreaming and may from then on" direct" the action, or they may simply " watch" the dream unfold. The sense of awareness (知道) makes it different from a dream that is simply very lively and true to life. And although the description may seem strange, the process is far from alien to many of us.

Studies suggest that the number of people in the Western world experiencing lucid dreams, which happen once in a while, has risen by between 10 and 40 per cent since the 1980s. Today, they are so common that about one in eight of us will have one in our lives. But still, little is known about what causes them or what is behind the rise.

Research carried out at the respected Harvard University in the US shows that the brain is working hard during lucid dreams. In fact, the level of the mental (精神

的) activity in some parts of the brain is similar to that of a person who is awake. Lucid dreamers seem to share certain personal characters. For example, in general they are quite creative. They are also good at digging deep into problems and going out of their way to solve them. Furthermore, they always believe in personal responsibility rather than letting society carry the can.

Our nightmares (噩梦) may show our waking worries, with the five most common ones-- falling, being run after, feeling disabled, being late and the death of a loved one. Men are more likely to have nightmares about fights or being fired while hair and tooth loss appear more in women's nightmares-perhaps showing worries about losing their looks. Research has also found that women have more nightmares than men. Their dreams are also scarier and more unforgettable.
