I’m confused (困惑的) these days. We are taught at home and at school that using violence (暴力) is the least civilized (文明的) way to solve problems. For example, last week I thought about hitting my friend for winning a beautiful shell while we were playing at the beach. But I talked with him instead and we came to an agreement. If two adults had a disagreement, and if they used violence towards each other in order to win, is it all right?

When two countries disagree, they often fight a war. Why is using violence not okay at home, at school, or in your country but okay between countries? Many people have been killed because of wars, not only soldiers but ordinary people, even small children and babies. And refugees (难民) exist, too.

A war is a great violence, like two people fighting over a shell, just much bigger. Adults say they are fighting wars in order to solve problems and make peace. But can you really "make peace" by killing so many people? I don't think bombs can reach people's hearts and change them. Bombs can't create love and caring, and that's what we need in the world. Why do adults use violence so quickly? Why can't they use their wisdom and talk it over?

Adults might say that things are not that easy. But they are the ones that teach us to be kind, not to hurt people, and not to kill. Why don't they act as what they say?

A page from a 12-year-old boy, Joshua's diary

1.At the beach, Joshua　　　　　　　　 .

A.hit his friend in the face

B.won a beautiful toy

C.played with a beautiful shell

D.came to an agreement with his friend

2.Joshua hates wars between countries because 　　　　　　 .

A.he knew little about wars

B.he doesn't understand adults

C.wars create death and refugees

D.wars are not the only way to make peace

3.What's the key to peace in Joshua's opinion?

A.Love and care for each other.

B.Don't use violence so quickly.

C.Stop using bombs in wars.

D.Don't hurt or kill people in wars.

Find a Job This Summer

This summer there are things that students can do to earn some pocket money or to help others. Also, many programs are offered by provincial government and its partners to help students find summer jobs. Here are a few ideas.

Deliver Newspapers

Teenagers can deliver newspapers—usually you ride a bike around a neighborhood and leave the newspaper at each house. Normally you have to have your own bike—and you have to get up early too, because people want their newspapers to read with their breakfast. If you are 15-18 and return to school this fall, you can find jobs of this kind.

Wash Cars

It's crazy for adults to drive to an expensive car wash when they can get a teenager to do the job for less money. Wash the car well and carefully and people will want you to do it again. Then you've got customers!

Give Older People a Hand

Lots of older people are happy for teenagers to help them carry their shopping or do small　 things for them, like washing or keeping them company (陪伴). You earn money or not, and people in the neighborhood get your help.

Job Programs

If you are a student living in certain communities of the province, you are lucky. There are programs that provide four weeks of paid jobs along with training. After that, you can start and run your own summer business, and you have a chance of winning awards of up to $1000. Go to the government website to learn more about these programs. People under 25 could build skills, find a job or start businesses all year round.

They are all great ideas. Just choose one of them to make some money. Then spend it or save it. But don't forget it's important always to tell an adult where you are going.

1.What is special about Deliver Newspapers?

A.It requires one to get up early. B.It needs patience and strong body.

C.It offers help to neighbors. D.It gives training before work.

2.Which one provides training?

A.Deliver Newspapers. B.Wash Cars. C.Give Older People a Hand. D.Job Programs.

3.What can you learn from the passage?

A.It's hard for teenagers to find jobs. B.The elders don't want help from teenagers.

C.Washing cars is the best choice for teenagers. D.Whatever you want to do, safety comes first.

When learning English, reading can help you a lot. When you read, you can not only learn some new words, but also learn how to use them. When you read, you can find a good example for your writing.

Good reading tips:

Try to read at the right level. Read something that you can more or less understand. If you need to stop every three words to use a dictionary, it is not interesting.

Try to increase the number of your new words. If there are four or five new words on a page, write them in your notebook. But you don’t have to write them while you read. Instead, try to guess their meanings as you read, and mark them with a pen. Then come back when you have finished reading to look them up in a dictionary and write them in your own vocabulary book. Then try to remember them.

Try to read regularly. For example, read for a short time once a day. Fifteen minutes every day is better than two hours every Sunday. Fix a time to read and keep doing that. For example, you could read for fifteen minutes before you go to bed, or in the morning or at lunchtime.

Read what interests you. Choose a book or a magazine about a subject that you like. Because you are going to spend time and money to read it, choose an interesting one. You can also read newspapers. There are many English newspapers for teenagers in China. You can always find something interesting in them.
