17﹣year﹣old Brennan Agranoff， a colorblind boy， started his custom sock business in middle school，with a small loan （贷款） he got from his parents． Up till now， he has sold over ￥1 million worth of socks online in the last four years.

Brennan thought of the idea for his custom sock company at just 13years old. He was attending a high-school basketball game in his hometown of Sherwood. Oregon. and noticed that many kids his age were wearing the same white Nike sport socks. The boy told himself that if these white plain socks were so popular with kids, then some cool custom designs would surely be an even greater hit.

But the boy didn't tell his parents about the business idea immediately. He spent six months researching things like printing machines and technology and drawing up a business plan. Only when he had everything planned out did he ask his parents for a loan. "They thought the idea was a little out there." Brennan recently told CNN Money, but he kept pushing, and finally received a ￥3，000 loan to start his company． Then he began to work on his own designs． The fact that he was colorblind didn't stop him and he has created over 200 designs now．

    Business was slow the first year， but then Brennan started pushing his HoopSwagg products heavily on the Internet． Orders soon started coming in large numbers， and HoopSwagg became a popular brand among custom sock lovers． Right now， his designs can be found on HoopSwagg website， Amazon and eBay．

    Four years after starting his business， Brennan has achieved great success while balancing （平衡）school，house chores and his social life． And he says he loved every minute of it．

Every night in Jinan University in Guangzhou，a group of students plays diabolo （空竹） as a crowd watches on in amazement．

    Chen Zhelun，25， a Malaysian﹣Chinese started the diabolo club， which helps to increase the popularity of this traditional Chinese game． He is one of many students expressing their interest in the country's cultural heritage（遗产）by starting clubs．

    The diabolo， which came from China， is popular among Chinese living in Malaysia．

    "We played diabolo from primary school onward． I thought I could find someone to play with in China， but only a few students knew about it． So I started a club to develop it，"says Chen．

    To Chen's surprise， the old game has interested a huge crowd﹣ more than 1，000 students have joined the club．

    "It keeps your body strong and it's fun，" says Chen．

    But some prefer quieter activities． Every weekend， one classroom in Shenzhen University is always crowded， but it's unusually silent． The members of Lanting Calligraphy Club are writing Chinese characters with traditional brushes．

    Fan Dongling， 21， a student in Shenzhen University， says it's a shame that young people no longer enjoy the beauty of Chinese characters．

    Although her club is quiet， Fan says it keeps members healthy， mentally and physically．

    "Some students think traditional things are outdated． They like celebrating Western festivals like Christmas or Valentine's Day， but they seldom pay attention to traditional ones， "says Kong Yanquan， 21，a student in Guangxi University．

    As head of the traditional Chinese local operas club， Kong plans to put modern elements （元素）into traditional culture to get students to join his club．

    "I think it's everyone's duty to save and develop China's traditional culture among young people，" he says．

Technology is everywhere． We see it any place we go and， in fact， almost all of us carry some piece of technology with us every time we leave the house． What I always forget， though， is just how useful and powerful technology can be when we want to help others．

    There is not a single room in my house that does not have some electronic devices （设备）lying around in it． Whenever I am at home， I am almost always using at least one electronic device． If you walked into my living room on any given day， you would find that， first， I have the television on． At the same time， I usually have my laptop resting on my knee， or I will be using my mobile phone． Even when I'm not at home I am always using my phone， and at work or in cafes， I sit down and connect to the local wireless network on my laptop．

     I must say that I waste a lot of time on the computer and the time I spend on it could be much better spent if I were to take up a little online volunteering．

    The technology we carry about everywhere can have a great power to do good for the world and to help others and recently I discovered just how much online volunteering there is to do in the world． From using your language skills to do translations， to developing and managing projects and helping with IT work， there is so much that so many people can do to help people in their own countries and across the world． The United Nations， in fact， has a huge page with "Volunteers Recruited" on its website．

    This work can support the poor and help charities who cannot pay for staff members． Many organizations only require you to work an hour a week﹣some even less． And the support provided by online volunteers can really help make a difference to those in need．

Are You Ready For High School？

If you can do these things by the time you go to high school， you'll get on well with others in high school．

    （1）　　

    A little respect （尊重） goes a long way． Don't help yourself to her personal things in the room， and let her know if you plan to treat friends there． If you don't feel like you're being treated fairly， have a talk face to face．

    （2）　　

    The first meeting with someone really does matter． To make an immediate connection， look a person in the eye and give a firm handshake． Keep eye contact while you're chatting and mention the person's name when saying goodbye．

    （3）　　

    One study found that holding something in can make you feel lonely and sad． So for your health and friendships， write down the secret in a safe place instead of talking about others in public．

    （4）　　

    If someone did something nice for you﹣a gift， some help， now's the time to take out your pen! Sending the person a handwritten note card within 48 hours afterward is a sign that you really have it together．
