1 . A strong feeling of shock and fear caught the heart of the World War I soldier as he saw his lifelong friend fall in battle.Caught in a trench (战壕)with continuous gunfire flying over his head , the soldier asked his lieutenant(中尉) if he might go out into the “No Man’s Land” between the trenches to bring his fallen friend back.
“You can go,” said the Lieutenant , “but I don’t think it will be worth it. Your friend is probably dead and you may throw your own life away.” The Lieutenant’s words didn’t matter, and the soldier went anyway.
Surprisingly he managed to reach his friend, pick him up onto his shoulder, and bring him back to their company’s trench. As the two of them tumbled in together to the bottom of the trench, the officer checked the wounded soldier, and then looked kindly at his friend. “I told you it wouldn’t be worth it,” he said. “Your friend is dead, and you are badly wounded.”
“It was worth it, though, sir,” the soldier said.
“How do you mean, ‘worth it?’” responded the Lieutenant. “Your friend is dead!”
“Yes sir,” the soldier answered. “But it was worth it because when I got to him, he was still alive, and I had the satisfaction of hearing him say, ‘Jim, I knew you’d come.’”

8 . Children are excited to find brightly wrapped(包装的) presents under the tree on Christmas morning. They can’t wait to open the wrapping and get the toys that were on their wish lists, such as toy cars. But after the excitement wears off, those toys are usually left to the corner of the toy box and the kids are searching for something else to do. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
A study from the University of Toronto found that giving your child experiences as a gift, instead of toys, improves your child’s intelligence and makes stronger parent-child bonds. “Often the focus is only on whether someone likes a gift rather than focusing on a fundamental purpose of gift giving. Knowing that will foster(培养) relationships between the giver and the receiver,”said lead researcher Cindy Chan.
Chan suggested that when you are buying a holiday gift or birthday gift, you should buy something that kids can experience with you. This can be movie or concert tickets, a CD from a performance you already saw to keep the memory alive. For example, for kids, a trip to a museum, going ice-skating or a book that the family can read together over and over again are valuable gifts.
It is found that giving your kids too many toys can be counterproductive(适得其反) and make kids at a loss.The best way to make kids happy is to spend time together.
So, if you want happy and intelligent kids, spending time with them and making memories are the best gifts you can give them. That’s not to say that there shouldn’t be any toys but change the focus from getting things to making lasting memories.

9 . A new study of 8,000 young people in the journal of Health and Social Behavior shows that although love can make grown-ups live healthily and happily, it is a bad thing for young people. Puppy love (早恋) may bring trouble for young people and can cause depression (沮丧). The study shows that girls become more depressed than boys,and young girls are the worst of all.
The possible reason for the connection between love and higher risk of depression for girls is “loss of self”. According to the study,even though boys would say “lose themselves in a romantic (浪漫的) relationship”, this “loss of self” is much more likely to cause depression when it happens to girls. Young girls who have romantic relationships usually like hiding their feelings and opinions. They won’t tell that to their parents.
Dr. Marianm Kaufman, who works on young people problems, says 15% to 20% of young people will have depression during their growing. Trying romance often causes the depression. She advises kids not to jump into romance too early. During growing up,it is important for young people to build strong friendship and a strong sense of self. She also suggests the parents should encourage their kids to keep close to their friends,attend more interesting school activities and spend enough time with family.
Parents should watch for their children’s eating or mood changes. If they see some,they need to give help. The good news is that the connection between romance and depression seems to become weak with age. Love will always make us feel young,but only maturity (成熟) gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects.
