Dear Rita, How are you? Last time you asked me about the greatest invention in my eyes. I have also discussed it with my best friends, Anna, Sue and Kris. We have different ideas. Anna thinks it is the high﹣speed railway; Sue, the shared bike; Kris, the online shopping; and I prefer the Internet. The Internet is just like a net, and it connects us with the world. In the past, it was nearly impossible for people to communicate immediately with people in other countries. They had to spend a long time to reach their destinations (目的地), and not everyone could do that. But the Internet has made the impossible possible. Now we can communicate with foreigners online. The Internet also helps us know what is happening around the world, and has made our life and work easier. In recent years, shopping online is very popular. We can just stay at home and buy what we need online. We can also do online office work and distance education. Besides, we can watch movies, listen to music and even play games to relax ourselves on the Internet. So, I think that the Internet is one of the greatest inventions. It has changed our world! Although there are still many problems with the Internet, they will be solved in the near future. As a student we should make good use of the Internet! Yours, Martin |

My best friend Jenny and I got to the mall for shopping.She held up a white sweater and matching skirt."Do you like this?"she asked.
"It's great,''I said.Jenny nodded and continued looking whiIe I moved about,touching the beautiful clothes."I'll try this on."Jenny walked towards the dressing room.After a while,she came out in the outfit(一套衣服).She looked beautiful.
I sighed.Part of me wanted to say how good she looked.but another part stopped the words coming out.Jenny was in such good shape that she'd look good in the outfit.Sometimes,I regretted choosing a best friend who was so pretty.God,why can't I be the one with the rich parents and the great look?More and more,I was envious(妒忌的)of her.
"Well,Teresa,what do you think?"Jenny asked more than once."Do you like it?''
The outfit looked great on her,but I lied,"Not really.I think you need something with more colors.''
"You think so?"Jenny said doubtfully.
"Just believe me.We'll find something better,"I told her,pushing her back into the dressing room."You just can't buy the first thing you see."I did my best to get Jenny out of the store,away from that outfit.As we left,Jenny gave the sweater one last look.
Just down the mall,we passed a yogurt place."My treat,''Jenny said,pulling out her wallet.
I could never say no to chocolate,so we got some and sat down at a table.As Jenny talked without stopping about a million things,I thought about my feelings toward her.Those feelings weren't kind.
Sitting there, Jenny was attractive(吸引人的)not just because of her good luck,but more because of her kindness.Treating me to chocolate was far from her only show of generosity.She also let me drive her car and borrow her clothes.
Finishing our chocolate,we headed for the next clothing store."Look at that red sweater.''Jenny said as we passed the window."It would be perfect for you.Soon maybe you'll have enough by saving your babysitting money to buy something like that."
A few minutes earlier,all I had heard was about saving my babysitting money.I had hated the fact that Jenny could ask her parents for anything,and they'd buy it for her.This time,though,I heard more.I heard the voice of someone who loved and cared me for who I was.I needed to express the same to her.

Bike﹣sharing has swept across China, with an increasing number of people choosing bike riding instead of driving. The bike that the service company provides has GPS or Bluetooth on it. And those bikes can be easily unlocked with a smart phone and left anywhere in public. Bike﹣sharing allows people to borrow a bike from one place and return it at another place easily.
In some cities, we can see more and more people riding this kind of sharing bikes. It's very convenient to use the bikes if you have a smart phone. First, you have to download such an APP on your smart phone. Then what you need to do is to find a nearest bike through the APP, scan the QR code(二维码)on the bike or connect your phone with the bike over a Bluetooth wireless connection. You will find the bike can be unlocked itself.
Then you can enjoy your trip. What's more, the greatest advantage of bike﹣sharing is that you can easily find one and never worry about where to park it. The cost of riding depends on the time that you spend. Normally, every hour you ride, you need to pay one yuan. It doesn't cost so much, does it?
At the same time, some people park the bikes in their own homes. Besides, some people don't valuethe bikes. Now service companies are trying to solve the problem like being stolen.

Nowadays,kuakuaqun or praise groups have become more and more popular on the Internet,Their aim is to comfort young people.These groups provide words of support for those who are unhappy.
Spending just a little money,you can enter such a group.Share your problems or success,and you will receive positive messages soon.These messages,mostly from strangers,will help you feel better.A leader of one of the groups talks about his first purpose,"I want to help people learn to praise others and accept others,praise."
I like the idea of kuakuaqun.However,I think getting praise from strangers online isn't very useful in the long run.This is especially true when you are paying for the praise.These people don't know you,so the praise may not be earnest.Real and meaningful praise comes from the people you know.

Have you ever been in a conflict(冲突)?Do you know how to solve it?Conflict resolution is a peaceful way of trying to solve a conflict.Both sides in the conflict explain what they think happened to cause it.The person who listens to both sides is called the mediator(调解人).
After both sides tell what they think happened to cause the conflict,they discuss ways to solve it.They try to come up with a"resolution"that both sides agree to.They cannot be angry during the communication.Everyone should use good listening and attending skills while talking.If voices get too loud or it appears that someone is angry,the mediator will speak up and have them treat each other with respect.After different suggestions are shared in how to mediate the conflict,it is time for
discussing the best solution(解决办法).
Here is an example of how conflict resolution works step by step in a school playground setting:
●Someone says a student pushed him on the football field.
●The person who was accused as the"pusher"says it was actually an accident.
●The person who was pushed gets the mediator.
●The mediator takes the two persons to a quieter place,away from others to talk.
●The mediator calms them down and lets them know he understands their feelings.
●Each person describes what happened
●The mediator repeats what he heard,so it is clear to everyone.
●The mediator asks for ideas to solve the problem.
●The two persons offer their own solutions.
●The two persons have a discussion and come to an agreement.
●The mediator makes sure the persons follow the solution.
●The mediator offers praise for solving the problem.
Conflict resolution can be used in many environments.It encourages people to tell what really happened,to share their feelings,and to work together peacefully to solve the problem.It offers people workable steps to reach an agreement with the help of a mediator.

When you think about inventions that have changed human's lives,what comes to mind?The car.the compass (指南针) or the computer?We hardly think about those more common things.But without them,our life will be much worse,for example,eyeglasses.Imagine a world without glasses,many of us would walk into things.So who invented glasses,and how were they first made?
The truth is that nobody knows who invented eyeglasses.What we do know is that the earliest lenses (镜片)made from quartz (石英).As soon as people worked out how to make glass without bubbles they started miking lenses out of glass.
Glasses spread quickly all over Europe and Asia.But early glasses were squeezed (夹) onto the bridge of the nose.It was painful for the wearers.So there was still one big problem:
How to keep them on the wearer's face.It took nearly 400years for people to come up with the way wear glasses today
We should be thankful lo Benjamin Franklin,who invented bifocals(双焦点眼镜) in the1780s.He liked lo read or watch sceneries(景色) far away while traveling.But he hated to change glasses all the time.Then Franklin cut his glasses in half and put them together with his distance glasses.Now they are still popular.
