Scrapbooking is a
hobby. It was popular for more than 500 years.
People called it a friendship
book.
They kept pictures, letters, poems and other
things they wanted to remember.
Today people collect many things in
scrapbooks. Some people have funny collections,
like the
world's most awkward ideas or
pictures of the world's most ugly dogs. Other
people may collect
stories about the
bad weather.
It is easy
to get started. First, you should decide what you
want to collect. Start with just one
idea. Next, you will need a book with
background paper, scissors and glue. You need the
scissors
to cut out the pictures or
stories. You need the glue to stick them to the
background paper.
You
can be busy and collect many things or lazy and
collect few things. It'll be lots of fun to
make your scrapbook and you can share
it with your friends.

Everybody hates rats.
But rats may soon be man's new good friends. What
happens after an
earthquake? We send in
rescue dogs. Why? Because they can smell people.
Dogs save lives. They
help rescuers to
find living people. But dogs are big and they
can't get into small spaces. So now a
new research project is using a smaller
animal to save lives: the rat.
How does it work? First, the rat is
trained to smell people. When this happens, the
rat's brain
gives
a
signal.
This
is
sent
to
a
small
radio
on
its
back,
and
then
the
rescuers
follow
the
radio
signals. When the rat's brain activity
jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive.
The rat has
smelled that
person.
Although there
are already robots which can do this job, rats are
better. Robots' noses don't
work well
when there are other smells around. Rats are good
at that. Rats can also see in the
dark,
they
are
cheaper
and
quicker
to
train
than
dogs,
and
unlike
robots,
they
don't
need
electricity!
The
place we couldn't get to, and a rat
would get out if it wasn't
safe.

Some people think only
school children do not agree with their
parents.
However, it is
not true.
Communication
is
a
problem
for
parents
and
children
of
all
ages.
If
it's
hard
for
you
to
communicate with your
parents, don't worry about it. Here is some advice
for you to bridge the
generation
gap
（消除代沟）
.
Don't
argue
with
your
parents.
Don't
get
to
your
parents
when
you
are
angry.
Your
parents
probably won't
consider your ideas if you are shouting at them.
And you can't express yourself
well if
you are angry. Go to some-place to calm down. Make
sure you understand why you are
unhappy.
Then
think
about
what
you
want
to
say
to
your
parents.
If
you
don't
think
you
can
speak to them at the
moment, try writing a letter.
Try to reach a
compromise
（和解）
.Perhaps you
and your parents disagree on something. You
can
keep
your
disagreement
and
try
your
best
to
accept
each
other.
Michael's
mother
didn't
agree
with
him
about
buying
a
motorcycle.
They
argued
over
it.
But
they
finally
came
to
a
compromise. Michael bought the
motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days. Of
course, your
parents might refuse to
compromise on something. In these situations, it
is especially important
to show love
and respect to them. Showing respect will keep
your relationship strong.
Talk about your values. The values of your parents
are probably different from those of your
own. Tell your parents what you care
about and why. Understanding your values might
help them
see your purposes in
life.
A good
relationship with your parents can make you a
better and happier person. Please have a
try!

Will it matter if you

？
A
short time ago, a test was given in the United
States. People of different ages, from
12 to 83, were asked to have a test. During the
test, these
people were given all kinds
of breakfast, and sometimes they got no breakfast
at all. Scientists
wanted to see how.
Well their bodies worked when they had eaten
different kinds of breakfast.
The
results
show
that
if
a
person

right
breakfasts,
he
or
she

work
better
than
the
person
who has no breakfast. If a student has fruit,
eggs, bread and milk before going to school,
he or she will learn more quickly and
listen more carefully.
The result is opposite to what some people think.
Having no breakfast will not help you lose
weight. This is because people become
so hungry at noon that they eat too much for
lunch. They
will gain weight instead of
losing it. You will lose more weight if you reduce
your other meals.

And
their

condition has become a subject of
concern.
Lynette Long was
once the headmistress of an elementary school. She
said,
against wearing jewellery. A lot
of kids had chains around their necks with keys
fastened. I was

working couples
and single parents were having on their children.
Fear is the biggest
problem faced by
children at home alone. One in each three latchkey
children the Longs talked to
reported
being scared. Many had nightmares and were worried
about their own safety.
The
most
common
way
latchkey
children
deal
with
their
fears
is

hiding.

stall, under a bed, or in a closet. The second is
TV. They'll often play it at high volume. It's
hard
to
get
