1 . Thirteen-year-old Kaylee has a lot of friends — 532, actually, if you count up her online friends. And she spends a lot of time with them.
But is it possible that Kaylee’s online friendships could be making her lonely? That’s what some experts believe. Connecting online is a great way to stay in touch, they say. However, some experts worry that many kids are so busy connecting online that they might be missing out on true friendships.
Could this be true? During your parents’ childhoods, connecting with friends usually meant spending time with them in the flesh. Kids played Scrabble around a table, not Words With Friends on their phones. When friends missed each other, they picked up the telephone. Friends might even write letters to each other.
Today, most communication takes place online. A typical teen sends 2,000 texts a month and spends more than 44 hours per week in front of a screen. Much of this time is spent on social media platforms (平台).
In fact, in many ways, online communication can make friendships stronger, “There’s definitely a positive influence. Kids can stay in constant contact, which means they can share more of their feelings with each other,” says Katie Davis, co-author of The App Generation.
Other experts, however, warn that too much online communication can get in the way of forming deep friendships. “If we are constantly checking in with our virtual words, we will have little time for our real-world friendships.” says Larry Rosen, a professor at California State University. Rosen also worries that today’s kids might mistake the “friends” on the social media for true friends in life. However, in tough times, you don’t need someone to like your picture or share your blogs. You need someone who will keep your secrets and hold your hand. You would like to talk face to face.

2 . Now, a growing number of companies are offering subscriptions (订购) for something most people are used to owning: cars.
Car subscription plans are mainly aimed at drivers who do not want to have long-term agreements for one single car. Many people using the services say they like being able to use a number of different kinds of vehicles depending on their needs.
Steve Barnes uses a car subscription service in Atlanta, Georgia. He says that every time he orders a new car “it feels like New Year’s morning”. Barnes signed up for the service in 2018 to be able to use many kinds of vehicles for different purposes. He says for some activities with his children, he chooses a large SUV. But when he wants to have fun or go out at night, he chooses a Tesla or some other kinds of sports car. But the comfort of such services can come at a high cost. Barnes pays $1,400 a month for his subscription. This is much higher than the $ 900 a month he used to pay to hire an SUV with insurance. Sill, he has no desire to own or hire a car again. He says his subscription has allowed him to drive many different vehicles which would have cost more than $1 million to own.
Some of the world’s biggest automakers are currently offering subscription plans for vehicles. One of them is Ford Motor Company. The company signed a deal last year with the San Francisco-based Monthly subscription service-Canvas. Canvas offers several models, including used vehicles. Monthly subscriptions start at $379 for small cars and go up to $1,125 for large SUVs. But these plans limit drivers to 800 kilometers per month. For another $100, users can get unlimited travel.
Adela Spulber works at the U.S. -based Center for Automotive Research in Michigan. She said that the effects of vehicle subscription services remain unknown.

I will share a true story that happened a couple of days ago to you. One of my classmate bought a bag of snacks from a food store. A few roommates were then invited to enjoy snacks. Unluckily, all of them got poisoned and had a stomachache with our faces pale. They were quick sent to a nearby hospital. Doctors examine them and gave them some medicine. They were out of dangerous soon before taking the medicine. This accident should make us to realize the seriousness of the food safety. I strongly suggest that the whole society pays more attention to this problem.

6 . My 16-year-old niece Jenny started using Facebook about half a year ago. At first she loved using it very much because she could make so many new friends on it. However, as time went by, she used it less and less. You may wonder why. Well, it’s because every time she used it, she became sad. It seemed to her that everyone using Facebook was living a perfect life except her. I don’t think Jenny is alone.
In this day of social media, the whole “comparing thing” has gotten out of control. We are influenced daily by all kinds of things on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram where we see only the happy parts of life. You see friends’ baby pictures, beautiful houses and “perfect” lives and you feel like we need to be farther along than where you are. You see pictures of your coworker’s “best vacation ever” and then you compare your life to theirs.
But what you see is just a special second of their lives. Social media only gives us a look at them for a very short time. It can be lying and we never truly know the whole story.
We are so good at showing others on social media that everything is “fine”, and we can never correctly judge what they post on social media. Remember that someone who looks very well does not mean that they are not dealing with something bigger under the surface.
You can never compare your inside with someone else’s outside. So next time you find someone showing off something on social media, cease feeling sad about yourself.

Students need enough sports and activities to keep fit and relax, and in some schools students are not giving enough time to do outdoor activities. Teachers ask students to spend most of their time at studies. But if students feel tired, they can’t pay attention to that they’re studying. They will be in a bad health. It’s also not good for his studies. In my opinions, it’s important give students enough time to do outdoor activities. Then they will enjoy better health and work hard. So please pay more attention to student health and growth.
