If you had the chance to leave the life you have now, what would you do?

Students from Fair-grounds Middle School, New Hampshire, US, chose to lead a special life for a week. They left the city and lived a different life by working on a farm. They handed over their cell phones and lived like any farmer’s children. And they enjoyed it!

“I didn’t know what would happen when we got there,” said Tyler Swift, 14, “but there were so many fun things. So much hard work, too. It was a challenge.”

“Getting up at 6 every morning, the students milked cows, spread hay(放置草料), and washed hundreds of sticky buckets(黏黏的桶). The hardest part was cleaning up piles of poop(成堆的排泄物) in the animal houses. It smelled bad, but it was lots of fun!

None of the students said no to the work. “With the farmers’ help, they did the work better and better. And they learned a lot more than just farming work.” said Rick Brown, a science teacher at Fair-grounds.

“You get to know who can do what and learn to work with different people. The children all showed great team work.” said Nick Quadros.

3.The children did lots of things EXCEPT(除了) ___________.

Have you ever had problems in your life and don't know how to be happy? If so, you will find "Being a happy teenager" by an Australian writer Andrew Matthews useful.

In his book, Matthews tells us how to have a happy life and answers the questions of teenagers.

The book says we should stop being angry. The book also tells us about some useful skills. For example, if you want to make our memory better, you can put what you've learned into pictures in your mind. Many teenagers think that happiness comes from good grades or praise(表扬）from other people. But you can still be happy when there are no such "good" things.

Success comes from a good attitude(态度). If you learn from problems, you will have success in the future. Some school boys have problems such as being too tall or too short, but Mathews tells us happiness comes from thinking about things in a positive(积极的) way. If you are tall, you can get a better view; if you are short, your clothes and shoes take less room in your bedroom! This is Matthews' most important lesson: You choose to be happy!

What picture do you have of the future? Will life in the future be better, worse or the same as now? What do you hope for about the future? Scientists think that life will probably be very different in 2050.

First of all, it seems that people won’t use TV channels by 2050. Instead, people will choose a program from a “menu” and a computer will send the program directly to the television.

Water will become a very serious problem. We’ll need much more water, but there won’t be enough. Some scientists think that water would be the cause of war.

Cars will run on new clean energy and they will go very fast. And there won’t be any accidents with the help of computers. On the other hand, space planes will take people around the world in two hours.

Robots will work in factories instead of people. Many factories have already used robots. Big companies prefer robots--they do not ask for money, and they work for 24 hours a day.

In a word, by 2050, our life will change a lot and our future will be quite different from now.
