Read the passage and finish the exercises.

I was invited to say something to the young people. Well, I really have a few things in my mind to tell you, my young friends.

First, do what your parents tell you. In fact, if you don't, they will make you do. Most parents think they know better than you do, and you can do more by following them than by doing something on your own.

Second, go to bed early and get up early. The beautiful singing of birds is really the best thing to get up with.

Third, there are different kinds of books, but good ones are the books for the young to read. Remember that reading good books is a great, priceless and unspeakable way of improvement. So be careful with your choice, my young friends. Do be very careful.

Now I have said enough. I hope you will keep the advice I give you in mind and make it a guide to your feet and a light to your understanding. Build your character carefully according to the advice, and soon, when you have got it built, you will be surprised to see how great you are.

Several years ago, I spent most of my time at a mental hospital (精神病院) in our town. I found much joy there. At first it was a little scary to be there, but I stayed on, because I had a reason for doing this.

I volunteered in a locked-up (封闭的) environment. To my surprise, I found that a friend of my parents' was a patient in this hospital. I knew, when I was a baby, this woman wanted to keep me because she had no children. I looked after this woman and showed my old photos to her. Finally, she was able to remember some old things, and she said to me one day, "Dear, you should not come here. But I wanted to bring something happy into this woman's life. I learned that because she had no family, she couldn't leave here and go home. So I brought her to my home twice and I still remembered the happy smile on her face.

I have never forgotten this volunteering experience. This woman later passed away. I can't see her anymore, but I'm happy that I have done something to make a difference in another person's life.

	I'm in trouble. Last week，we had a football match，and we lost. We played well，but one teammate didn't do his best，I think. It was like he wasn't even on the field!Disappointed by what he did，I said all this to my best friend to let out my anger. But he told everyone else what I'd said. I'm really angry with him. What should I say to him？And should I say something to my teammate？
	Reply There is an old American saying， "Loose lips sink ships. "This means that if you speak too much about something，especially to people who you don't know so well，it'll cause all kinds of trouble. Maybe now you're in this situation. 13 likes
	Reply I was at the game and you did your best. I think it was awful of your teammate not to try his best. You know，teamwork，is very important. If you play，play it well!But I don't think it's OK to talk behind his back because it might hurt his feelings. Maybe there is a better way to solve the problem. 25 likes
	Reply In my view，no secret is safe. It's natural for your friend to tell others about what you're sharing. This is how we keep close to each other in a group. So，learn the lesson. Next time，keep it to yourself. 10 likes
	Reply I understand why you were angry with your teammate. A successful team requires everyone's effort. But what you did doesn't actually help. Next time in the same situation，try to communicate with your teammate directly and honestly. Besides，when filled with anger，you would say whatever comes to your mind. And that might hurt others. Take a deep breath，calm down，and always remember：think first，speak later. As for the problem with your friend，tell him you're angry because what he did made the situation worse. 30 likes

The Dragon Boat Festival, also called Duanwu Festival, has a long history. It is a very important lunar festival in China, together with the Spring Festival, Qingming Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The date of the festival is said to be the date when Qu Yuan passed away—the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. Usually the date varies from year to year. For example, it is 22nd June in 2023, 10th June in 2024 and 31st May in 2025.

Although the Dragon Boat Festival happens on different days, the way people celebrate it is almost the same. They eat zongzi, hold dragon boat races, drink realgar wine(雄黄酒), wear sachets(香囊) and so on. Among all of them, people like dragon boat races best. It's often held in the south of China, where there are lots of rivers and lakes.

People like this festival very much.

① In the summer of 2023, it was quite hot in Beijing, so I planned to stay for several days in the countryside. " Why not go to an island? It's my dream trip, " one of my friends said. Finally, we decided to go to an island county (县)—— Shengsi.

② Shengsi County is in the northernmost part of the Zhoushan Islands in Zhejiang Province. There are more than 400 islands in the county. Of these islands, only 16 are inhabited (有人居住的). And the most famous islands for visitors are Sijiao, Gouqi, Shengshan and the Flower and Bird.

③ First, three of us drove to Shenjiawan Wharf in Shanghai. After parking the car, we took a ferry (轮渡) to Gouqi Island. It took us about two and a half hours to arrive in the island. ▲ — the endless blue sea, the forests, the beautiful stone houses . . . We really had a great time enjoying the beauty of nature and delicious seafood.

④ The next day we went to Shengshan Island. There is a beautiful uninhabited village in the island's northeast. In the 1970s, more than1,000 people lived there and most of them were fishermen. Later they all left and moved to big cities. But we can see many beautiful photos of the village on the Internet, especially the photos of creeping plant mountain tigers (爬山虎). We really liked the green village.

⑤ A five- day trip in Shengsi was really enjoyable. When we were about to leave, I asked a fisherman, "When is the best time to visit Shengsi County?" "Each day if you like," he answered.
