No two people are the same. Sometimes friends don't get along well. That doesn't mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will make up and become friends again.
Sometimes friends move away. Then we feel very sad. But we can call them and write to
them. It could be that we couldn't even see them again. And we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them.
There's good news for people who have friends. They live longer than people who don't. Why? The reason could be that they are happier. Being happy helps them stay well.

Everyone dreams of changing the world. But can teenagers really make a difference? And how can they go about it?
Michael Norton's book 365 Ways lo Change the World is a good starting point. The book gives an idea or task for every single day of the year. The tasks include offering to work at a local homeless shelter and planting a tree.
His book says that one simple act, no matter how small, can help someone in need. It may even influence other teens to do something.
Nathan Anthony, a student at Maple High School in Modesto, California, US, agrees."It is impossible to get anything in life without giving something to someone or working hard at school or workplace," Anthony said.
Another Maple student, Ariane Mota, has the same opinion?" Giving is our way of repaying those who help "Giving is our way of repaying those who help us," she said." Whether it is a helping hand or a donation, we should help others to improve their day or life.”
But how often do teens see peers helping a stranger or doing something nice for someone?
According to Anthony, not a lot. He and Mota both believe this needs to be changed."I help my friends by telling them that their lives are better than those poorer people," Anthony said." Humor is also a great tool."
So whether you're helping to find a cure for bad illncss or simply smiling at a stranger, do something
every day to help change the world for the better.

"What's wrong, Carina?" Collin asked."Homesick again?"
His sister nodded.
"Yeah, me too."Collin sighed (叹息) .
Their family had moved to the new place nearly four months ago. The new place was housed inside a huge transparent dome (透明的圆屋顶). It still didn't feel like home.
"I miss my friends," Carina said sadly."And green grass and swimming, and everything. Ieven miss the sound of rain on the roof (屋顶) . "
"Worst of all,"Carina continued,"my birthday is in two days, and I don't think Mom and Dad are planning anything special. They're too busy."
"She's probably right," thought Collin. Life here was very busy for scientists like their parents. He doubted if they had time to plan a party. And how could they anyway? Things such as balloons and birthday candles didn't exist here. They didn't even have enough materials to make a cakc.
"Don't worry." Collin put an arm around Carina's shoulder.
Collin walked toward the agricultural center, where his mom worked. Hc found her taking notes on some tall tube - like plants.
"What are those?" he asked.
"Bamboo plants," said Mom."They're strong and grow fast. They make good building materials."
"May I have a piecc?"
"Sure." Mom handed one to him and made a note on her notebook.
The next day, Collin madc tiny holes into the piece of bamboo and put small nails ( 钉 子 ) into each hole. He poured a handful of pebbles (鹅卵石) inside and covered the open ends.
Collin held the bamboo piece carefully as he hurried home. He hid it behind his back and opened the front door. To his surprise, Mom and Dad were home early from work. Mom was carrying something that
looked like a cake.
He looked closer and realized Mom had made a cake with dried apples and cinnamon(肉桂皮)sugar.
A real treat, on the Moon.
Collin handed his sister the bamboo rod."Happy birthday!"
"What is it?" Carina asked, looking at it curiously.
"A rain stick,"said Collin."Whenever you turn it over, the pebbles fall around the nails and it sounds
like rain."
Carina tumed the stick, and the room was filled with a sound like rain drumming on a roof.
"It's Moon Rain!" she said."It makes me feel like I'm home." She smiled at Collin and turned the rain stick over again.
( )33.What may be the best title of this passage?
A.Bamboo Plants B. Moon Rain C. Homesick Again! D. United Family ( )34.What can we know from the passage?
