    It began with a red paper clip and ended with a house. Kyle MacDonald, a 26-year-old Canadian, got a three-bedroom house through 14 trades (½»»») that started with a single red paper clip.
    Encouraged by Kyle¡¯s successful experience, now more and more young people around the world are starting their own trading activities. They set up websites where people can trade things they don¡¯t usually use with other people. A website called Peerflix allows people to trade their used DVDs. These traders usually prefer face-to-face trading, which means they don¡¯t have to worry about who is going to pay for the delivery (µÝËÍ).
    Last year, a young girl in Beijing decided to follow the example of Kyle. She started with a paper clip and hoped to get a house in the end. After several trades she now has a piano which is more than 10,000 yuan. But she may still have a long way to go.
    You may be puzzled about why people are doing this. In fact, everyone in the trade activities gets things that are useful to them. Just as Kyle said, ¡°What¡¯s more important to a man dying of thirst in the desert ¡ª one million dollars or a glass of water?¡± Kyle¡¯s words probably show why these trades are poplar among young people.

    Old age may not sound exciting. But recent findings offer good news for older people and for people worried about getting older. Researchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of 50. In fact, they say by the age of 85, people are happier with their life than they were when they were 18 years old.
    The findings came from a survey of more than 340,000 adults in the United States. The Gallup Organization questioned them by telephone in 2008. At that time, the people were between the ages of 18 and 85. The researchers asked questions about emotions like happiness, sadness and worry. They also asked about mental or emotional stress.
    Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of 24 and 25. The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties.
    The study also showed that men and women have similar feeling patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men.
    Researchers say they do not know why happiness increases as people get older. One theory is that, as people grow older, they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their feelings. They so spend less time thinking about bad experiences.
    Professor Stone says the emotional patterns could be linked to changes in how people see the world, or maybe even changes in brain chemistry.
    The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well-being related to age.
    СÌâ1:According to the survey of the Gallup Organization people are most likely to become happier      .
    A£®when they are between the ages of 18 and 85B£®when they come to their old age
    C£®when they are in their twentiesD£®when they are 18 years old

    Ma Yan is not really a writer, but this 15-year-old girl has written a book that has moved many people around the world. Ma Yan¡¯s diary tells us about Ma¡¯s life. She lives in a poor village called Zhangjiashu in Tongxin, Ningxia, and she has no money to go to school. However, she is brave and wants to go to school very much.
    Her mother gave her diary to a reporter, Pierre Haski when he went to Zhangjiashu in 2001. Now, Ma Yan¡¯s diary has been published in France, Italy, Germany, Japan and China.
    Ma Yan is now a Junior Three student at Yuwang Middle School in Tongxin. Before this, she had to drop out of school twice. She had to stop going to school the first time, because her mum told her there was no money for her to go to school. She worked for 21 days and saved 13 yuan. With this money, she went back to school. The second time, her family told her she had to leave school while her two brothers could stay.
    ¡°I want to study,¡± Ma Yan wrote in her diary. ¡°Why can boys study but girls can¡¯t? It would be wonderful if I could stay at school forever.¡±
    Ma Yan loves school so much because she wants to have a better life.
    ¡°My parents work hard in the fields but they are still poor. They have no knowledge(֪ʶ). Most girls in my village leave school early and get married young. I don¡¯t want that kind of life,¡± Ma Yan said.
    After her story became known, many students sent money to her. She hopes to go to Tsinghua University and become a reporter. ¡°Then, I can find poor kids like me, and help them,¡± she said.

    Your home is a safe place, right? Think again.
    Many serious accidents happen in people's homes. Could you please prevent these accidents? Yes. Many accidents happen because people are careless. So be careful! Here are some tips about safety.

    ¡¤Keep the floor dry, and you won't slip (»¬) or fall.

    Unluckily, you can¡¯t ask a person if he has a good feeling. If you ask, everyone will tell you that they do! It is important that you have to get to know your travel partner to find out what kind of feeling he really has.
    You can tell a lot about a person¡¯s feeling by the words he uses. Ask him about his worst trip. Is he laughing about it now, or still unhappy? Does his worst trip sound like an adventure to you? If so, he doesn¡¯t match you. Having a good feeling is important for having a good time.
    Talk about the hotel you would like to stay in. See if you have the same habit of spending holidays. This is such a quick way to find a partner.
    What¡¯s more? Always keep in contact with(ÁªÏµ) your travelling partner when travelling. Don¡¯t simply hang out without telling them, and don¡¯t let them do it to you, either.
