It is June 15th, and in two days I will be thirty. I am afraid that my best years will be behind me.
I usually go to the Sports Club to exercise before going to work. Every morning I see my friend Nicholas at the Sports Club. He is seventy-nine years old. I asked him, “ What was the best time of your life ?”
“ When I was a child in Australia and was looked after by my parents , that was the best time of my life. When I was going to school and learning the things I know today, that was the best time of my life. When I got my first job and got paid for my work, that was the best time of my life. When I was a young father, watching my children grow up, that was the best time of my life. And now, Jack, I am seventy-nine years old . I have my health and feel good, this is the best time of my life .

The girl was named Emily.She had been in a car accident and now was on her way for treatment（治疗）.

These days，Chinese children are sometimes busier on weekends than weekdays because they have to take so many after﹣school classes.Many of them are learning exam skills so that they can get into a good high school and later a good university.Others are practicing sports so that they can compete and win.However，this doesn't only happen in China.
The Taylors are a typical American family.Life for Cathy Taylor's three children is very busy. "On most days after school，" Cathy says， "I take one of my two boys to basketball practice and my daughter to football training.Then I have to take my other son to piano lessons.Maybe I could cut out a few of their activities，but I believe these activities are important for my children's future.I really want them to be successful.However，the tired children don't get home until after 7：00 p.m.They have a quick dinner，and then it's time for homework.
Linda Miller，a mother of three，knows all about such stress. "In some families，competition starts very young and continues until the kids get older，" she says. "Mothers send their small kids to all kinds of classes.And they are always comparing them with other children.It's crazy.I don't think that's fair.Why don't they just let their kids be kids？People shouldn't push their kids so hard."
Doctors say too much pressure is not good for a child's development.Dr.Alice Green says all these activities can cause a lot of stress for children. "Kids should have time to relax and think for themselves，too.Although it's normal to want successful children，it's even more important to have happy children."
（1）What's the common problem for Chinese and American families？
（2）What's Cathy Taylor's idea about so many after﹣school activities？
（3）What does Linda Miller think about after﹣school activities？
（4）What's Dr.Alice Green's opinion about afterschool activities？

Video cameras are everywhere: schools, theatres and stores. But in recent years, theyhave entered our homes. Many parents set up cameras at home to watch their children's online classes and homework. Are cameras really helpful? What do students think about it?
| Li Ming Earlier last year, I liked to lie in bed and videos instead of studying. This watch affected my studies and made my grades worse. So my parents set up a camera to keep an eye on me. It worked. With the camera watching, I had to do my homework first and make plans for studying at home. When I was alone at home, the camera made me feel safe because I knew that my parents were watching on the other side. My grades improved after a year. |

I felt so uncomfortable that I couldn't sleep well at night. Knowing there was a camera around when my friends came to my home, they would speak quietly and carefully. We couldn't have pillow fights.

Shadow puppetry （皮影戏）started during the Western Han Dynasty and it has a long history of more than 2，000 years.It used to be popular in the countryside because it was simple and cheap.
The puppets are usually made from leather （皮革）or paper.It is hard to make them.The puppet﹣makers have to take 24 steps，which include washing the leather，carving （雕刻） and painting，to make a puppet.
Just like many things that are in danger，traditional arts also face the risk of disappearing. "Many young people still think that shadow puppetry is an old﹣fashioned folk art， " said Liu Chaokan，the sixth﹣generation inheritor （继承人）of shadow puppetry in Yunnan province.
Liu understands why old art forms couldn't interest young people，so he connects new stories with the traditional form of storytelling.In a recent show based on the ancient Chinese novel Journey to the West，Baigujing dances to a Korean pop song.Popular Chinese cartoon characters，together with the modern factors （元素），are Liu's secret in getting the attention of children. "Since they couldn't understand those old stories，why don't we show them the cartoon characters they love in shadow puppetry shows？" said Liu.

Kyra Komac, 28 years old, now has 25 furniture(家具) stores all over the country. The new store, in London’s Camden High Street, takes her back to where it all started. She tells us about how the business began.
When I was little, my mother began selling flowers in Camden Market. She couldn’t leave me at home on my own, so I had to go to the market with her.
To begin with, I didn’t have to do anything. I just sat there, and my mum told me jokes and stories so I didn’t get bored. When I got older, I gave my mum a hand and I really enjoyed it.
Then, one year, my grandma gave me a book for Christmas. It was all about making candles and I loved it. I was 14, and I didn’t have to go to the market any more because mum could leave me at home on my own. I made candles of all shapes and sizes in my free time. I made hundreds of them.
One day, my mother was ill so I had to go to the market on my own. I decided to take some candles with me and see if I could sell them. They were sold out in twenty minutes! The next week, my mum gave me some money to buy some wax(蜡) to make more candles. They sold out really quickly, too.
Nine months later, we decided to stop selling flowers. My mum and I couldn’t make enough candles during the week, so some of my school friends started to give us a hand. I paid them ￡1 for every candle, and we used to sell them for three or four times that. It was fun and my friends worked with me in the market.
At the age of 22, my uncle helped me to open my first shop in Portobello Road by lending me some money. Since then, I’venever looked back, even in difficulties. In the first store, we only sold candles, but now we sell everything from furniture to paintings. Oh, and candles, of course.
How many furniture stores does Kyra Komac have now?
Where did Kyra’s mother sell flowers? (no more than 3 words)
What did Kyra do in her free time when she was fourteen?
Who helped when Kyra and her mum couldn’t make enough candles?(no more than 5 words)
