【推荐1】It was Day 1 of our vacation on Cortes, a beautiful quiet island. “iPhone, iPhone, iPhone,” my son kept moaning. In front of him was a big window facing the blue ocean. And a cool gentle wind was coming in from the door. Clearly, he saw and felt none of it.
Back at home, I’d soon give up and hand the phone over to him after five minutes of listening to this kind of moaning.
But not here. Before we left, I had told my 10-year-old son the rule—no emails, no Facebook, no video games, and no iPhone. We came here to get away from them all. Here we were on our first day and already, he couldn’t stand it.
________ I walked down the grass road to the beach and looked out to the sea. My 6-year-old daughter and my husband were drawing on pieces of wood. They were doing just fine.
On Day 2, we spent the whole morning digging for shells. This time, my son joined us. He collected shellfish and other sea treasures. When we got back to our little wood house, I gave my son a book, and put him on the lovely garden chair. It was almost dinner when he looked up.
The next few days passed in peace.
On Day 6, my son was lying beside me on the beach, watching the sun going down. He was playing with the sand. And there was something shining in his eyes. I realized how time slowed down for both of us. It was exactly what I wanted. Finally, we were able to sit quietly without thinking about screens, phone calls and e-mails.
A week away from all the electronics and life is good.

【推荐2】One hot summer several years ago, I pulled into the local gas station to fill my tank（油箱）. After I finished, I started to walk inside to pay. Then I noticed two women standing back from their car. There was fear on their faces. I looked and saw what they saw. Five bumblebees（大黄蜂）had started to build a nest（巢）around their gas cap（油箱门）. My eyes became wide. I shared the ladies’ fear.
Bumblebees had never been friends of mine. Several times they had hurt me, and the worst time, however, happened when I was a young boy. A friend of mine and I were playing in my backyard and we then stepped on one of their hidden nests. I ran to my mom with tears in my eyes. She put us both into cold water to make us feel better before giving us medicine to fight all the poison（毒素）in our little bodies.
But I knew I couldn’t let fear stop me now. I reached into my pocket for a piece of paper, pulled down the nest and stepped on it while the bumblebees were around me. Finally, these bumblebees flew away. Both of the ladies thanked me happily.
In this life you can’t let the fear keep you from doing what is right. And the only way you can do this is one loving act, one kind word, and one shared smile at a time. Don’t let the bumblebees in your life hold you back then. Live! Love! Do good today!

【推荐3】Jessie felt her life so boring one summer day. She was tired of watching TV, she read all her books, and her friends were on vacation. She wanted something different to do. Suddenly, she saw the lawn mower (割草机) sitting in the yard.
“Mom,” she shouted, “I think I will mow (割) the lawn (草坪).” Her mom ran into the yard and said, “Oh no, you don’t. You’re too young to mow the lawn.”
“I’m fourteen years old and know how to do it,” Jessie said. “Besides, it would help Dad out, and he won’t have to worry about it over the weekend.”
Mom thought for a while and then decided to let Jessie give it a try. After all, she was home and would keep an eye on her. Jessie already knew how to start the lawn mower from watching her dad. Jessie checked the gas (汽油) to make sure it was full, and put on her gardening gloves to protect (保护) her hands. Mom watched from the kitchen window. Jessie really did know how to mow the lawn. She was very careful around the flowers and trees. When she finished, she felt so good, but she was so hot. Mom brought her some ice tea and said, “You sure did a great job. Dad will be very surprised.”
Later that day, Dad came home and said to Jessie’s mom, “You didn’t have to mow the lawn. I was going to do it on Saturday. It looks great. Thanks.”
“I didn’t mow it. Jessie did.”
“Wow, our little girl is growing up!” Dad told Jessie what a great job she had done.
“It was fun, and I will do it again next week,” said Jessie.
The neighbor next door came by and asked Jessie if she wanted to mow his lawn and make some money. “Sure!” said Jessie. Jessie began mowing his lawn. Two other neighbors asked so, then another three. Jessie was now mowing lawns for them all and making some money. She was no longer bored! “I won’t have time to spend my money,” she laughed to herself.
