If you ask me what my favorite sport is， my answer is swimming． I started learning how to swim when I was five years old． I have been swimming ever since．
There are many reasons why I love swimming， but I'll just share a few with you． Maybe I can even encourage you to go for a swim．
The first reason I love swimming is that I feel totally relaxed whenever I leave the pool． I love the feeling of floating on the water and feeling almost weightless．
On the other hand． it can also be a competitive sport which raises your heartbeat． It's amazing pushing yourself to the challenge of beating someone else to the finish line． It's great fun racing across the pool as fast as you can！
Another reason that I love swimming is that it has more styles than other sports such as running and walking．It doesn't feel like you're doing the same thing over and over again．
In summer， swimming can be a nice， refreshing （恢复精力的） break! There's nothing better than jumping into the water on a hot summer's day． You can choose to swim in a swimming pool or in the sea．
And finally，it's a life skill which everyone should have．Not only is it good for your health， but you never know when you'll need your ability to swim．

Have you ever counted the number of digits （数字）in your mobile phone number？ Your number has 11 digits． You may sometimes find it hard to remember your number． That's because China has the longest mobile phone numbers in the world． Why is that？
The 11 digits can be divided into three parts． Each part has a different meaning． The first three numbers tell you which mobile phone service provider（提供者） you are using． For example， 135 is for China Mobile Communications Corporation and 188 is for China Unicom． The fourth to the seventh digits tell you where the number is registered （注册）． And the last four digits are random（随机的）．
The main reason for using 11 digits is that we have the largest population in the world． We once had 10numbers． But as our population grew， there were not enough numbers for us to use． So we began to use 11 digits starting from 1999． Eleven digits can be used to make tens of billions of mobile phone numbers． That's enough for each person to have seven or eight phone numbers to use in China．
And mobile phone numbers can be recycled． Usually， the service provider will reuse a canceled number after three to six months． If you call a number that you haven't contacted （联系）for a long time， you may find that its owner has changed．
Besides China， Britain and Japan also use 11﹣digit mobile phone numbers． But their numbers always start with 0． So they cannot create as many numbers as we can． Countries like the United States， Australia and India use phone numbers with 10digits． Canada's mobile phone numbers are perhaps the shortest in the world： they use seven digits．
（1）Is China the only country that uses 11﹣digit mobile phone numbers in the world？
（2）What can we know from the fourth to the seventh digits of a mobile phone number in China？
（3）Why does China use 1l digits for mobile phone numbers？
（4）When can a mobile phone number be recycled in China？
（5）Which country perhaps has the shortest mobile phone numbers in the world？

Last month some parents visited a pizza restaurant in Florida with their children． On the door， they saw a sign "NO CHLDREN．" "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．
（3）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．
（4）These methods may be useful for a while，but it is difficult to solve this problem completely．

Nature's warnings
When the sky suddenly turns dark and the wind is strong， watch out! A dangerous storm might be coming． Storms are scary． Watch for flashes of lightning． Listen for thunder． If nature sends these warnings， don't wait for rain． Act right away to keep safe．
Safety Steps
At the first flash of lightning， quickly get inside a building or a car． Do not go into a shed （棚）for protection． It is not closed like a building， so it is not safe．
Even after you are indoors， be careful． It is not smart to go near doors and windows．They can blow in or break． A room with no windows is the safest place to be．
Do not wash your hands during a storm． Do not use anything that runs on electricity either． Water and electrical lines are like roads for lightning． Even if you really want to play computer games， don't! It is better to be bored than to risk getting hurt． Try reading a book instead． Reading is more fun than playing computer games．
If you can't get to somewhere safe， stay out in the open．You may feel safe under a tree，but that is not a good place to be． Lightning is pulling toward tall poles and trees． Stay down in an open space and cover your ears to protect them． Loud thunder can damage your hearing．
Lightning Strikes

Dear Mr. Scott， I expect you may be slightly surprised to receive a letter from your next﹣door neighbor， but I have to raise a theme that it will be easier for me to discuss in writing． You may have noticed that I have a line of apple trees running along the fence（栅栏）that separates our two gardens． You may also have felt happy when you see your two children sitting on your grass by the fence． And you may also have noticed that my apple trees bend over the fence and seem to look down at your children with interest． It is only natural that your children should sometimes seem to return that interest． And it is quite legal（合法的）for them to show that interest by picking all the apples that hang over on your side of the fence． But to tell you the truth， Mr. Scott， I am tired of seeing your children， day after day， destroy the branches of every one of my apple trees． And it seems that a war has been fought on one side of my apple trees． Besides， I am more tired of waking up on these fine autumn mornings to find even the apples on MY side of the fence much less in number． I know this too is the work of your children， since last night I was woken at midnight by the noise they were making when climbing one of my trees， and （as they may have told you） I drove them away． Yours sincerely， Becky Aldrin |

Don't Let Anxiety Hold You Back from Living Your Dreams
Anxiety is the state of feeling nervous，worried or fearful．When you're anxious，you may feel something bad is going to happen．
When you think of starting a new project or going into a group situation with people you don't know，do you feel butterflies in your stomach？Do you come up with lots of reasons not to do fun but risky things like joining a hiking club or a volunteer organization？ If these happen，it shows that you are probably anxious，and your anxiety will stop you from going after your dreams．Actually，anxiety feeds on avoidance and makes you less confident，while getting started and taking action help your anxiety go down．But where do you begin？
These suggestions below will let you be the master of your anxiety，rather than letting it master you．
◆ Don't wait for your anxiety to go down
Your anxiety won't go down on its own．However，when you take action towards your goals instead of considering what anxiety you have，you will build self﹣efficacy（自我效能）little by little﹣you begin to see yourself as someone who can take action and be successful even when you're feeling anxious．
◆ Set a realistic goal that makes sense for you
We all have different personalities and preferences．We don't all want to be lawyers，have hundreds of friends，or run marathons．Whatever you want，just figure out what is the simplest thing you can do to get started．Set your goal specifically，for example，"walk for 20 minutes three times next week"．You can't climb a mountain all at once and you're more likely to achieve your goal with inside motivation（动机）than when you're just trying to please others．
◆ Trust the process（过程）
Faith（信仰）is the first step to take action．Even if you don't have faith to begin with，faith will come if you just take that first step．The more you take action，the more likely you are to have some successes and begin to trust the process．I often start writing a blog post not knowing exactly what I 'm going to write．Now I've understood that if I share messages with my readers sincerely，then the content will appear naturally and anxiety will reduce slowly．
