2 . Doctors have discovered a new way to help sick people who need surgery(手术). Instead of making a big cut into a patient's body to find out what is wrong inside, they can now insert a laparoscope — a long, narrow tube with a video camera at one end — through a much smaller hole. The view the camera has of the body's interior is shown on the monitor of a machine outside, thus allowing the doctors to see how it is inside.
If there is a diseased or damaged part, the doctor can perform the surgery using another cable which sends out a laser beam at one end. The beam acts like a sharp knife and allows the doctor to repair or cut away the damaged part. While the doctor performs the surgery, an assistant moves the laparoscope to give him close-up views.
One of the names for this kind of operation is “keyhole surgery”, as the cut may be as small as a keyhole! There are a number of advantages in using this method. Among them are: one, as the cut is much smaller, the patient suffers less pain and so needs less medicine for pain. Two, since the wound is smaller, it can heal faster. Three, as the patient recovers more quickly, hospital stay is shorter and so a lot less money is spent!
But there are a few problems with the method. One involves the use of the laser. As it is not always easy to control the beam, the doctor may accidentally cut some veins(静脉) and cause excessive bleeding. Such accidents do not happen often, however. They will be even less likely as technology and skills improve.

6 . Homework is your teachers’ way of evaluating（评估）how much students understand the lessons in class. As a student, you always have too much homework, but you have to finish it. Here are a few tips to make homework less.
★Make a homework plan.
First, write the task down in your notebook. If you forget it, please ask the teachers again. Second, use any extra time in school to work on your homework.
★Watch where you work.
Find a table at home which doesn’t need to be very large, just big enough to put your school things on it. You’d better not do it before a computer or on your comfortable bed. It’s hard for you to concentrate on（集中精力于）your homework.
★Get to work.
When you start your homework at home, do the hardest problems first. Later, when you feel tired, you can do the simple ones. Don’t spend too much time on a difficult problem. You can ask an adult or e-mail a classmate for advice.
★Have a rest.
Having a 15-minute rest every hour is good for you. After you finish your homework, check it over. Be sure to put it safely away in your backpack. Now you’re free to play outside.

10 . Young people and older people do not always agree. They sometimes have different ideas about living，working and playing. But in one special program in New York State，adults and teenagers live together in a friendly way.
Each summer 200 teenagers and 50 adults live together for eight weeks as members of a special work group. Everyone works several hours each day. They do so not just to keep busy but to find meaning and enjoyment in work. Some teenagers work in the woods or on the farms near the village. Some learn to make things like tables and chairs and build houses. The adults teach them these skills.
There are several free hours each day. Weekends are free，too. During the free hours some of the teenagers learn photo taking or painting. Others sit around and talk or sing.
In this program the teenagers and the adults make the rules together. If someone breaks a rule，the problem goes before the whole group. They talk about it and ask，"Why did it happen？What should we do about it？"
One of the teenagers has this to say about his experience，“You stop thinking only about yourself. You learn to think about the group. "
