| There are many types of reports. A report is simply an account of something that has happened. The commonest are news reports. We get them in themselves, over radio and on television. Sometimes cinemas also show us newsreels. The main purpose of a newspaper is to provide news. If you examine a newspaper closely, you will find that there are all types of news: accidents, floods, fires, wars, fashions (服装), sports, books, etc. The news covers everything that happens to people and their surroundings. Sometimes there are news items which are very amusing. A news report is usually very short, except when it is about something very important, but it contains (包 含) a lot of information. It is also written in short paragraphs, the first paragraph is in fact a summary (总结) of the news item. It gives all the necessary information, what, when, where, how and why. The other paragraphs give full details of the subjects. There may also be interviews with people. The words actually spoken by them are within inverted commas (引号). Often there are photographs to go with the news to make it more interesting. |

| Dear Editor (编辑), I used to be a doctor in a children's hospital. Sometimes I treated children who had been poisoned (中毒) by medicines for older family members. The children didn't know the medicine was dangerous; they just knew it tasted sweet. Children easily opened the bottle that we now use in China. Some days ago I talked about medicine with an American. He showed me a kind of plastic bottle. The design was very quite simple and I'm sure our Chinese factories could produce these bottles. The top of the bottle locks but can be opened by pressing down on it while turning. This is difficult for most young children to do, though grown-ups can open these bottles very easily. I'm certain that the price of making such tops would be very low. As a doctor, I'd love to see this done. And most parents would be grateful. Yours, Li Hua |

| Have you ever had problems in your life and don't know how to be happy? If so, you will find the book Being a Happy Teenager by Australian writer Andrew Mathews useful. In his book, Matthews tells us how to have a happy life and answers the questions of teenagers. There are many subjects such as parents and friends, and the book says we should stop being angry and learn to forgive others. The book tells us of useful skills such as how to put what you have learned into pictures of your mind to make your memory better. Many teenagers think that happiness comes from a good exam result of praise from other people. But you can still be happy when there is no such "good thing". Success comes from a good attitude. If you learn from problems, you will have success in the future. Some schoolboys have problems such as being too tall or too short. But Matthews tells us happiness comes from thinking about things in a positive (积极的) way. If you are tall, people notice you and you can get a better view at the movie; if you are short, your clothes and shoes take less room in your bedroom!This is Matthews' most important lesson: you choose to be happy! | ||||||||||

| Height is just one of the thousands of features your genes (基因) decide. In fact, because you have two parents, your genes provide you a height that usually lands somewhere between the height of each parent. If both your parents are tall, then most probably you will be tall, too, but if you have questions about how tall you're going to be, ask your doctor if he or she can help you find it out. But genes don't decide everything. For example, eating an unhealthy diet can keep you from growing to your full potential (潜力). Getting plenty of sleep and enough exercise will help you grow to the expected height. No doubt (怀疑) you're wondering how fast you should grow. It depends. There's no perfect or right answer. In general, kids grow about 2 inches (6 centimeters) a year between age 3 and the time when they start puberty (when your body starts changing and becoming more grown up). Your doctor will know how your growth has been going over the years. Two centimeters here and 2 inches there are not nearly as important as the height you're at now, how you've been growing up to this point, and what other changes your body may be going through. Don't be scared if you seem to have grown a lot in a very short time. Everyone has a growth spurt (高峰) during puberty. The age for starting puberty is about 10 for girls and about 11 for boys. But it can be earlier or later -between 7 and 13 for girls and 9 and 15 for boys. You'll usually begin to notice that you're growing faster about a year or so after your body starts to show the first changes of puberty. |
