A group of people were having dinner in a restaurant when a bug(虫子) suddenly flew in and landed on a woman. She started shouting out of fear. Then she jumped around with both her hands shaking, trying to scare away the bug. Her reaction(反应) was very strong and everyone in her group got into fear.

The woman finally got the bug off her, but then it landed on another woman in the group. Now it was her turn to continue the same drama(表演). A waiter rushed to the table. The woman somehow(不知怎的) managed to get the bug on the waiter. The waiter stood quietly and looked at the bug on his shirt. He carefully picked up the bug and threw it out of the window.

Drinking my coffee and watching the drama go on, I started wondering: Was the bug responsible for(为……负责) what they behaved just now? If so, then why was the waiter not disturbed(被扰乱的)?

He solved the problem perfectly without any fear. It was not the bug, but the inability(无能) of those people to do with the disturbance(干扰) caused by the bug that disturbed them.

I realized that it was not the shouting of my father or my boss that disturbed me, but my inability to do with the disturbances caused by their shouting that disturbed me. It was not the traffic jams(堵塞) on the road but my inability to deal with the disturbances caused by traffic jams that disturbed me.

It is not the problem, but my reaction to the problem that creates disorders(纷扰) in my life.

My sister Alice and I have been trying to get people to stop dropping cigarette butts(烟头) for seven years. One day, we were walking in our hometown and saw hundreds of cigarette butts on the ground. They made the town look so ugly that we decided to start a group to make people stop dropping butts. We called it “No Butts About It”.

At first, we drew pictures with “The Earth is not your ashtray(烟灰缸)” written on them. We put the pictures around our hometown-in parks, on beaches, and along roads. We wanted to make people understand that dropping butts hurts the environment. Most smokers don’t think that dropping butts hurts the Earth. But it does, and all rubbish does!

Later, we wrote to companies and asked them for money to help us. We used the money to buy ashtrays and gave them to smokers. We wanted smokers to carry the ashtrays with them, therefore, they didn’t have to drop butts.

At the moment, we are trying to get cigarette companies to put an ashtray in each pack of cigarettes. Some companies want to do it. Many people have started to join our group since it began. Today there are 45 other “No Butts About It” groups in America.

Now there are even groups in England, Australia, and India! Many newspapers have written about my sister and me over the last seven years. And we have won many prizes for what we do. But we are not interested in prizes. We just want to make the Earth a better and cleaner place for animals, plants and people.

One day, it will be.

People, including teenagers, usually use the Internet to get to know the world, but many parents worry that their children may meet with something unhealthy when searching online. In order to solve this problem, a new search engine(搜索引擎) for children called Kiddle has appeared.

Search results are filtered(过滤), so only safe websites are shown. Searches with bad words are all filtered, too. Kiddle has made search results better for children.

Kiddle uses the same colors as Google in its logo and a similar design, on its homepage, too-with an extra robot picture.

The top three Kiddle search results show safe websites and pages written specially for kids, and those websites and pages are well chosen and checked by Kiddle developers(开发者).

The fourth to seventh results will be safe websites that are not written specially for kids, but have content(内容)written simply. These results are also chosen and checked.

Results on the eighth and its following are safe and famous websites that are written for adults. They provide expert content, but are not easy for kids to understand.

Unlike on Google, most results appear along with large thumbnail pictures(缩略图) to make it easier for children to find what they are looking for. For example, when searching for “meow meow”, Google produces pages for information about a drug(毒品) that has “meow meow” as its nickname(绰号), but Kiddle lists safe information only about cats, even with some cat cartoon pictures.

The company explained, “Websites which appear in Kiddle search results satisfy(满足) child-friendly needs, as we filter websites with unhealthy content.”

Maybe you pride yourselves on only sleeping a few hours a night. However, are you feeling t    68     and sleepy throughout the day? Do you have a hard time keeping your eyes open as you study? Have you nodded off w    69     driving a car? If you can answer is “Yes” to a    70     of these questions, it shows you could not have enough sleep.

It is suggested that most adults need seven to nine h    71     sleep. As for teens, they need even more. If you aren’t getting enough sleep, you should:

♦Stop drinking caffeine (咖啡因)

You should t    72     yourself very much that you can manage to stop drinking caffeinated drinks such as coffee, tea and soda for at least 10 hours before you go to bed.

♦Don’t eat big meals b    73     sleeping

Eating a big meal can make you feel sleepy, and it can make you feel u    74     and prevent you from sleeping well.

♦ Build a healthy sleep environment

With the light o    75    , can you have a good sleep? Of course not, and you’d better keep your bedroom dark and cool.

♦ Never use electronics when going to bed

The light from electronics can keep you from f    76     asleep. Reading or listening to s    77     music can improve your sleep.

Please get enough sleep from now on.
