Old people can now buy "grandkids" online if they feel lonely. Using a new app named Papa, old people can call on young people to visit them. Papa allows them to find "grandchildren" who will spend time with them and carry out small tasks.

Now Papa isavailable as a mobile app and a telephone line for those without smartphones in Miami, Florida. To use the service, old people first need to contact (联 系) Papa through either of these ways. Then Papa's workers provide free talks with them to see how they can find proper college students to visit the old people.

The app needs the old to pay $15 an hour and the young visitors get at least $10 per visit. According to different types of trips, the young visitors get different pay.

According to its founder, Andrew Parker, most young visitors can make $20~$30 per visit. Every visit lasts for around three hours.

    When Justin Tong was a child, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him doing lots of housework such as carrying out the rubbish and sending newspapers. But when he grew up, he was better off than his childhood friends and lived a happier and healthier life.

This is the finding of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 children in London. It showed that the children who had worked hard in childhood had a richer and a happier future. "Children who worked in the home or community gained competence(能力) and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society," said Daniel Brown, the psychologist(心理学家) who made the discovery. "And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them."

Brown's study followed these children in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Brown, the researchers compared the children's mental-health scores with their childhood-activity scores. Points were awarded for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.

    Working at any age is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence — the underpinnings (基础) of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this.

    Yet work isn't everything. As Tolstoy once said, "One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one's work."

I stood nervously behind the red curtain and looked out across the stage (舞台). A girl about my age sat at a piano; I could see her fingertips 1 over the black and white keys in front of her. 

My body froze when the girl stood up from the bench. It was finally my turn. I could hear my heart beating 2 . The girl passed by me with a smile, I heard her say "Good luck"! 

"Well, here goes nothing." I said to3

Then I stepped onto the stage and walked slowly toward the piano. The 4 lights nearly blinded me, making it difficult to see the audience. When I reached the piano, the sounds of whispering soon turned into complete 5 . I stared at my 6 fingers and for a moment my mind went blank! Closing my eyes, I imagined the music sitting in front of me and tried to recall (回忆) every detail. 

Finally, I took a deep breath and began to play Beethoven's Moonlight sonata (协奏曲). My fingers began to 7 over the keys. The rich tones of the piano rang out. One by one, each muscle (肌肉) in my body loosened and 8

All the practice and effort put in for six months showed this was 9 my teacher was pushing for. "Keep your wrists up, relax your arms, don't raise your shoulders. . ." I remembered feeling a bit 10 when hearing these things over and over. But I never realized until now how it really 11

When I reached the end of the piano a great 12 went up from the audience. I rose from the bench and gave a deep bow. A 13 smile lit up my face. As the applause (鼓掌声) 14 I turned and walked to the other side of the stage. I saw a young boy standing nervously behind the red curtains staring fearfully out at the stage. When I walked by, I passed to him the two words that were 15 to me for encouragement: Good luck!

Sammy always worried about his wife Dolly. They {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (live) together for almost 15 years. Although they had many cultural {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (difference) in life, Dolly managed everything to perfection. 

The {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (late) worry for Sammy was that Dolly was gradually losing her hearing. It happened one day when Sammy was in the living room and asked for {#blank#}4{#/blank#} cup of tea from Dolly. Dolly did not reply. He raised his voice and once again asked her for some tea. Still, he heard nothing from Dolly. He got up and {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (slow) walked to the kitchen and asked Dolly for some tea. Dolly was a little surprised and {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (say) that she would bring it in 10 minutes. 

A few days later, Sammy had to be away from town for a week. After his return, he decided {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (find) out the extent (程度) of his wife's hearing loss. 

Sammy reached home and called his wife before he entered. Dolly was {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(prepare) dinner in the kitchen. Sammy heard nothing {#blank#}9{#/blank#} her. He went to his room and asked her, "I am here. What's for dinner, Dolly?" Again, it was silent.

Then, Sammy realised that it was he who had a hearing problem.
