A
Is it right to pay our school-aged children 41 doing household chores? When I was growing up I always received an allowance（补助）, 42 my wife says that kids need to work without being paid because that’s part of being a family. What do you think?
There’s no right or 43 answer here. Some parents believe in paying an allowance. Still others don’t pay anything 44 , but they give their children money based on their willingness.
Kids should perform certain tasks around the house simply 45 they are part of 46 . This could include jobs such as 47 care of their own rooms, picking up their toys, helping to prepare meals, 48 their own clothes, and yes, 49 taking out the trash.
On__50__ hand, it’s fine to pay children for chores that require more time and energy- 51 household tasks that “ go beyond their duty”. This list might include activities 52 mowing the lawn, washing the car, babysitting a younger brother or sister for a whole Saturday afternoon, or even 53 .
Certainly, kids might choose to work for certain rights instead of 54 . Whether it’s a regular duty or a chore that earns a paycheck（收入）, it’s important to tell them the finishing time and the level of quality that you’re 55 .

It was one of the hottest days of the dry season. If we didn't see any rain soon, we would lose everything.
One day when I was in the kitchen, I saw my six-year-old son, Billy, walking towards the forest. He was clearly trying to be as silent as possible. Several minutes later, he had gone into the forest, he ran out again, towards. the house. This activity went on for an hour, walking carefully to the forest and running back to the house. I really wanted to know what Billy was doing.
Finally I followed him into the forest. I found that he was holding a cup of water. He walked very carefully not to drop the water.
I saw a baby deer lying on the ground. It lifted its head to drink the water in my son's cup. After the deer drank up, Billy jumped up and ran back to the house to get more water. When he saw me, he said, "I'm not wasting. " I found that his eyes were filled with tears.
“ I know. " I watched the most beautiful heart working so hard to save another life. Tears ran down my face. As my tear drops began to hit the ground, other drops and more drops and more suddenly joined them I looked up at the sky. It was raining.

Volunteering overseas can be one of the most meaningful experiences of your life. It is a chance to see the world, do something good, and learn about yourself. But it isn’t easy.

If you would like to work as a teacher, you might need to be able to speak the language of the country you are going to ( or know some basic phrases). If you want to help at a building site, you should have building or carpentry（木工）skills. This doesn’t mean that you need to be an expert before going over. However, having some knowledge of the work you are doing can help you feel a sense of purpose, instead of confusion when you arrive.

From a young age, I’ve had a really deep connection with being outside. I’ve been skiing since I was eight or nine years old. I’ve been on expeditions in many places like China, Pakistan and so on. But it was in my home country, the USA, that I came closest to death.
I looked down into the bottom of the valley. I could see trees that were 30m tall, because I was so far away, they looked tiny to me. “OK, I’m going all the way to the bottom!” I thought. Then the snow pushed me again down the mountain another 450m. I thought the force of the snow would destroy me, it was powerful. But in the end, I felt the avalanche slow down and I just popped（迸出） right out of the snow at the bottom of the valley.
It took Jeremy and Xavier about 20 minutes to reach me. There was a pile of debris（碎片）across the bottom of the mountain 300m wide. They couldn’t believe it when they saw me. I was so lucky.
Has the experience changed me? Do I think about life differently? I don’t know, maybe. But I do know that it’s important to live your life with meaning. Life is a gift, so use it wisely.

Last Friday, our school had a spring outing. It was a great time for us to relax ourselves in the nature. After a long trip on the school bus, we got to the farm. There were different kinds of vegetables and fruits on the farm. We had a competition to see who could pick the biggest, the smallest and the cutest strawberries. I walked to a faraway field and found a big strawberry. It was the biggest strawberry we found that day. I was so happy. It was really a sweet day.
