Not only adults but also teenagers have problems in their life. Here is a survey showing the main problems of      .
They feel stressed because they have       homework to do both at school and at home. They have lots of exams      . And parents usually send them       different classes at weekends. As a result, so many of them almost become bookworms(书虫). On holidays, they could hardly have       time to do what they are interested in. Now more and more teenagers     short-sighted.

I was not having a happy holiday. My family had decided to go back to the countryside in New Hampshire, US, again. But I found it boring. What made the holiday even worse was that I had to sleep in the same bed as my brother. But I was wrong. This trip was the best holiday I have ever had. During the holiday, I met a very special friend.
While I was walking in the countryside, I saw a man carrying a small brown bag. Wearing white clothes, the man looked like a ghost. As he looked at me, I felt frightened. I wanted to run away when the man spoke to me. “Hello. Beautiful day, isn’t it?” he said. The man talked a lot. I wasn’t listening very carefully because I was looking at his little bag. I wanted to see what was inside it!
He saw me looking at the bag and he asked me if I would like to see. Out came a lively, beautiful puppy. The brown puppy was small and only about two months old. The man then asked me, “Would you like to keep this puppy?” I had always wanted a puppy and now I had the chance. I thanked him, took the puppy and ran home. For the rest of that summer, I played with him all the time. And after the trip, I took him home. The puppy is now loved by all my family. He is a friend to both my brother and me, a warm little ball of happiness in our lives.

My friends and I had just finished lunch at a hotel when it started to rain heavily. When it became lighter, I decided to get my      , which was parked at my office three streets away.
My friends        that I shouldn’t go, mainly because I was seven months pregnant(怀孕) then. I promised them that I’d be very      . One of them wanted to come with me but I asked her to stay with another friend who needed help         her baby.
I walked out of the hotel and started making my way to the car. At the crossing, a van stopped and a man came out with an umbrella. Before I knew what was happening, he walked right      me and told me he’d escort(护送)me. Although I refused, he said that he would.
  During our walk, he kept telling me to walk slower, as the ground was        . When we got to the car park, I thanked him and he went away. I did not get his name and can        recognize(认出) him now. Did he stop for me? I’ll never know.
  So how did I pay it forward? I was at home when I noticed two Indian workers       in the heavy rain. They were probably on their way to the working place near my home. I went out and passed them my      . I told them they should take and keep it. They were surprised by my action. They were very grateful to me, probably          why a stranger was offering such kindness. I was so relaxed and happy that day.

As a famous American writer, Mark Twain, once said, “Everybody talks about weather, but nobody       anything about it.” It is true that everybody talks about the weather. Many people
   their talks by saying, “Isn’t it a nice       ?” “Do you think it will rain?” “I think it’s going to snow.”
A large number of people think they can tell        the weather is going to be like. However, they       ever agree with each other. One man may say, “Do you see how cloudy it is in the east? It’s going to rain tomorrow.” Another man       say, “Yes, it’s cloudy in the east. We are going to have fine weather tomorrow.”
People often look for the weather they want. When a farmer needs water, he looks for something to tell him it’s going to rain and he won’t believe        else. When friends have a picnic, they are so        the weather is going to be fine that they sit        their lunch while it is raining.
Almost everyone listens to what the weatherman says. But he doesn’t always tell us what we want and sometimes he makes a mistake. Still, he is       most of the time.
