When Sammie Vance was just 8, she thought about a question: What breaks your heart? “For me, it’s seeing people who need a friend,” the seventh grader from Indiana, US, told People magazine. “I’ve been lonely myself. I don’t want others to feel that way.”

Soon after a summer camp, Vance learned about buddy benches（伙伴长椅）. These benches are seats at a school playground. A lonely child can sit on it.

She loved this idea. “This would be really cool to have at my school,” Vance said. Then she got into action immediately. She collected 725 kilograms of bottle caps and found a company to turn the caps into benches for her school. According to Vance, these recycled benches cost much less than the common park benches and are good for the environment.

Vance collected more for benches at other schools too. She also made a Facebook page for others to follow her journey and make bottle cap donations（捐赠）. She was surprised that her small project has influenced people around the world. She even received bottle caps from Germany, Australia and Israel.

Today, Vance has helped make 200 recycled benches in schools and neighborhoods. But she has no plans of stopping. She said in an interview that even adults can use a buddy bench because people at any age can feel lonely.

“I just look forward to making a difference,” she said, “and encouraging other people to make a difference.”

Who is the greatest teacher in Chinese history? Many people would think of Confucius (孔子). He lived over 2, 000 years ago. People still remember and respect (尊重) him for his contribution (贡献) to the education (教育) today.

Confucius lived in the Kingdom of Lu. He had a hard childhood (童年). (B)在他三岁时，他的父亲去世了。 His mother brought him up. As a child, he had to work to help his mother, but he didn’t give up studying. He visited many famous teachers and learned music, history, poems and sports.

Later, he became a teacher and started the first public school in Chinese history. Confucius believed everyone should go to school if they wanted to learn. He had about 3, 000 students in his life.

Today, people still study Confucius’ lessons. He told us that we all have something important. (A)“When I am with three people, one of them must be better than me in some areas（区域，领域）. I choose their good qualities and follow them.”

In China, more and more middle school students are getting shorter sleeping time than before. Most students sleep less than nine hours every night, because they have much homework to do. Some homework is given by their teachers, and some by their parents. Also, some students don’t know how to save time. They are not careful enough while they do their homework, so it takes them a lot of time. Some students spend too much time watching TV or playing computer games. They stay up(熬夜) very late. Some students have to get up early every morning on weekdays to get to school on time by bus or by bike. It can be a long way from home to school. It will probably make them sleepy(困的) during school hours.

Schools and parents should cut down some of the homework so that our children can enjoy more than nine hours of sleep every night for their health. For children, they should make the most (best use ) of their time. When they have enough time for sleeping , they will find it much better for both their study and health.

In China, safety education is becoming more and more important now. The last Monday in March is for students to learn it at school. It helps students learn more about what they should do to keep themselves safe. What are the accidents (意外事件) at school? Take a look.

Stampedes (踩踏), earthquakes and fires are the main accidents at school.

A stampede always happens in crowded places. When students around you begin to push, just stand there and try to hold onto something. If you fall down in the crowd, move to one side and protect your head with your hands around.

When earthquakes happen, you can get under a desk quickly and hold on. It’ll protect you from falling things. If you are outdoors, find a place away from buildings, trees, and power lines.

When there’s a fire, leave the classroom quickly. It’s better to put something wet over your mouth and nose. In this way, you won’t breathe in smoke. Many people die in a fire, not because of the fire but smoke. It makes them cough (咳嗽) and they can’t breathe (呼吸). That’s very dangerous! So when you want to get out, you should make yourself close to the floor. Then you can breathe some fresh air.
