Some students have their favorite pop stars or sport stars. They admire them very much. They admire their ability and the way they live their lives. Young people are full of potential ( 潜能) and have lots of questions about their futures: What kind of person will I be? What kind of job can I do? ①Sportsmen and pop stars seem to havealready answered these questions in their own lives. But when you watch these people, you only see a part of their lives, the public part. Their everyday lives might be very d_②______.

Many parents worry that their children will follow the bad side of their idols (偶像). And many young people are often disappointed to discover that their favorite idols ③have feet of clay. But the lucky thing is that they don't have to behave exactly like their idols.

④Celebrities (名人) are fun to watch and admire, but the best idols are often the people you see in your everyday life: your family, your neighbors and your teachers. These are the people who teach you how to be honest and how to get along with others.

    Last month some parents visited a pizza restaurant in Florida with their children. On the door, they saw a sign "NO CHILDREN." "Why can't we bring our children?" "What on earth does the owner want to do?" The parents were surprised and complained angrily.

    So why did the restaurant put up the sign on its door?

    Troy Taylor, the owner of the pizza restaurant, found that many parents couldn't control their children and many children couldn't have meals quietly, so they disturbed other customers. Some people said that this was unfair. Mr. Taylor explained his decision. He said that the restaurant was near a busy road, so there might be some danger if the parents didn't take good care of their children. So he made up his mind to ban(禁止)children from his restaurant.

    Others supported his decision, they said they were bored of noisy children in restaurants and now they could finally have a place for adults only.

    In fact， many other restaurants have also met the same problem. Some have done nothing and others have tried to ban children during certain times of the day. There's one restaurant in Italy. It has been creative in dealing with the problem. They rewarded(奖励) well-behaved children to encourage parents to control their children.

    These methods may be useful for a while, but it is difficult to solve this problem completely.

Northern fur seals

    Northern fur seals spend winter in the warm waters near California. There is lots of food for the seals, but there are also lots of predators. When spring comes, the Northern fur seals go on a long trip to islands near Alaska. These islands are a safe place to breed, as there are not many predators. The male seals arrive at islands first. They fight for the best females to arrive. The females arrive about four weeks later. They each give birth to one seal pup. In the next few days, the seals mate again. When they return to the islands, one year later, the females will give birth to next year's seal pups. After three months, the females and the young seals set off back to the warm waters off the coast of California. Soon after, the males also leave the islands. The fur seals travel about 10,000 kilometers on their trip from California to Alaska and back again.（改编于《七年级新理念第三册》）

    Today, almost everyone has a smartphone. We use it to communicate (交流) with our friends, listen to music and pay for the things we buy. Smartphones make our lives convenient (方便的).

    However, many people are too dependent (依赖的) on them: We often see people sitting together with nothing to say, just playing on their phones by themselves. We often see family members playing on their phones at home without talking to one another.

    I want to tell everyone that it is time for us to think carefully about this problem. We must stop using our phones so much. Friends need to talk face to face. Families need more communication at home. Only in this way can people get closer to each other. Let's do it together.
