                                                                                                          Car pool（拼车）

“Beep, Beep,” goes the car horn（喇叭）. You've got dressed, but you've not had time to eat breakfast. You run out of the front door with your schoolbag, and jump into the waiting car. Inside, your friends say “hey” as one of their parents drives you to school. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Car pools are a common way of transport for many students in the US. You, along with many of your friends, can sit in one car. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} And your parents many take turns to drive you all to school.

  {#blank#}3{#/blank#}   If you're late, you can eat that breakfast you don't have time for at home. If you're behind on your homework, this is your last chance to finish it before class. Some simply add to their sleep time before classes begin.

Besides walking or cycling to class, car pools are green if you can't take the school bus. Instead of four cars taking four students to school each day, they can all squeeze into one. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}

More importantly, car pooling teaches students valuable life lessons not taught in class. It can teach students about being on time. It can also teach them the bad influence of being late. If you're late, then all of your friends will be late too.

    Ever since Greg was a little boy, he had watched his grandfather carve(雕刻) small wooden figures(木偶). In a short time, his grandfather could change a piece of wood into a wonderful work of art. Greg often wished that he could create wonderful little wooden figures as his grandfather did.

    One day, Greg's grandfather called the boy into his room. “Today is the day that you begin to learn the lost art of carving.” Greg couldn't believe his ears. He sat beside his grandfather. The smell of the wood filled his nose, and he loved that. Grandfather told him the names of the different tools he used to create the figures.

    After the introduction to the tools was over, Greg picked up a piece of wood and started to carve. He worked for hours that day, trying to learn his grandfather's skill. Although his small wooden figure was far from perfect, both Greg and his grandfather were quite proud of the work Greg had done. “I will put it on my desk,” Greg's grandfather told him. Greg's eyes shone with joy. He knew that it would take him many years to become as skillful as his grandfather, but Greg was going to enjoy every minute of it!

    Perhaps you've already watched or heard about Readers 《朗读者》，a TV show that has recently become popular. It invites different people to read aloud on the stage, as well as tell the touching stories behind them. They can read everything, like poems, books and letters.

    Many people are fans of the show and begin to enjoy reading aloud at home. Now the show gives people a special place to read across China. Reading pavilions(朗读亭)are now in cities like Shanghai, Hangzhou and Xi'an.

    The pavilion is quite small. Only one person can come into it each time. There is a microphone in it and it records people's voices. Everyone can read anything they like for three minutes in the pavilion. The show will later pick some of the readers and invite them to read on TV.

    People of all ages have come and read in the pavilion, according to People's Daily. "Reading should be just like singing and talking," said Dong Qing, the host of the show. "We can actually express our deep feelings through reading aloud."

    Both the TV show and the pavilion are promoting(推进)reading among the public. In fact, our country is also trying to do that now.

    Kyra Komac, 28 years old, now has 25 furniture(家具）stores all over the country. The new store, in London's Camden High Street, takes her back to where it all started.  She tells us about how the business began.

    "When I was little, my mother began selling flowers in Camden Market. She couldn't leave me at home on my own, so I had to go to the market with her. To begin with, I didn't have to do anything. I just sat there, and my mum told me jokes and stories so I didn't get bored. When I got older, I gave my mum a hand and I really enjoyed it."

    "Then, one year, my grandma gave me a book for Christmas. It was all about making candles and I loved it. I was 14, and I didn't have to go to the market anymore because Mum could leave me at home on my own. I spent my free time making candles of all shapes and sizes. I made hundreds of them."

    "One day, my mother was ill so I had to go to the market on my own. I decided to take some candles with me and see if I could sell them. They were sold out in twenty minutes! The next week, my mum gave me some money to buy some wax(蜡）to make more candles. They were sold out really quickly, too."

    "Nine months later, we decided to stop selling flowers. My mum and I couldn't make enough candles during the week, so some of my school friends started to give us a hand. I paid them one pound for every candle, and we used to sell them for three or four times. It was fun and my friends worked with me in the market."

    "At the age of 22, my uncle lent me some money and I opened my first shop in Portobello Road. Since then, I've never looked back, even in difficulties. In the first store,  we only sold candles, but now we sell everything from furniture to paintings. Oh, and candles，of course."

    When you go for a run outside, chances are that you'll find litter (垃圾) all around you. Do you just go past it, or do you stop and pick it up? If you choose the second, you're part of the latest popular sport in the West: plogging.

    The word "plogging" puts the Swedish phrase "plocka upp" (pick up) and the English word "jogging" (running slowly) together.

    What a plogger needs is a rubbish bag and a pair of gloves (手套)to protect your hands. While collecting rubbish, ploggers learn to classify (分类) and deal with it correctly, too.

    ①Plogging seems simple but it does a lot of good to both the environment'(环境) and your health. It can not only make the world greener, but also get you exercise, for example, a 30-minute plogging burns around 288 calories (卡路里),compared to 235 calories burned from just jogging.

    So next time you go out jogging, why not carry a rubbish bag and collect some litter along the way?②你的身体和环境会感谢你。

    Four ways to have a good school life

    Your schooldays should be some of the best and happiest days of your life. How can you get the most from them and be sure you do not waste(浪费) this great chance to learn?

    Be active (积极的) at school

    Don't say things are difficult or boring. Take interest in school life and your school subjects. Join lots of activities. Put up your hands quickly in class. Go around the school with a big smile. If you are not working, you are wasting your time at school. Teachers cannot make everything enjoyable (令人愉快的).

    Keep fit

    If you do not eat a good breakfast, you will be thinking about food in class. If you go to bed late and do not have enough sleep, you will be sleepy in class. Play enough sports every day in order to keep your body strong.

    Face the problem

    Do not say you will do things tomorrow. If you get behind the class, it is very difficult to get back in front. You cannot finish the race if you rest all the time. Everyone fails some exams, loses some matches and has bad days. Don't make small problems seem very big and important. Don't forget to ask for help. You are young and no one thinks you must do everything quite well!

    Spend the weekends

    Don't waste time lying in bed on Saturday or Sunday morning. Go and play a sport, get together with friends in the park to relax, or learn to play the piano. If you don't want to go out, there are also a lot of things to do. You may read a book, practice English or help parents with housework. Follow our advice, and have a happy school life!
