It was a Sunday afternoon. My parents and I were watching TV excitedly when suddenly I notice a pigeon on the balcony. It was a white pigeon with a ring around one of its foot. It rested there quietly but refused to fly away. Realizing it must have been lost its way back home, I managed call the Pigeon Association up for help. In the same time, my parents brought the pigeon inside and gave it some bird food, what helped refresh it. Before long, an owner got the message and came to take the pigeon back. He thanked us a lot. My parents and I all felt happily for what they had done.
Healthy Habits, Healthy Body
Feel tired lately? Has a doctor said he can't find anything wrong with you? Perhaps he sent you to a hospital, but all the advanced equipment there shows that there is nothing wrong with you.
Then, consider this: you might be in a state of subhealth(亚健康).
Subhealth, also called the third state or gray state, is explained as a borderline state between health and disease.
According to the investigation by the National Health Organization, over 45 percent of subhealthy people are middleaged or elderly. The percentage is even higher among people who work in management positions as well as students around exam weeks.
Symptoms(症状) include a lack of energy, depression (压抑), slow reactions, insomnia (失眠), agitation, and poor memory. Other symptoms include shortness of breath, sweating and aching in the waist and legs.
The key to preventing and recovering from subhealth, according to some medical experts, is to form good living habits, alternate work and rest, exercise regularly, and take part in openair activities.
As for meals, people are advised to eat less salt and sugar. They should also eat more fresh vegetables, fruit and fish because they are rich in nutritional elements-vitamins and trace elements that are important to the body.
Nutrition(营养) experts point out that it is not good to eat too much at one meal because it may cause unhealthy changes in the digestive tract(消化系统). They also say that a balanced diet is very helpful in avoiding subhealth.
My wife and I went to this vegan(严格的素食主义的)restaurant to give it a try.As we were eating our pepper and salt tofu, a young lady named Debra walked in. She wasn't aware that the place is vegan and was looking for some meat. My wife and I talked up the place and invited her over to try some of our tofu. Debra tried it, nodded and went out.
After a few minutes, she and her mother both walked back in. We were having the rest of our meal at that time, so we told her what we had ordered. Debra then asked the waitress to just repeat our order for them. Next, Debra said, "And we want to pay for their meal", pointing to my wife and me. We tried to say no, but Debra wouldn't listen.
That was not the end of it. Hugs were in order. Debra came over to our table and my wife got up to hug her. Debra hugged my wife and put $100 into her hand. My wife firmly said NO, but Debra insisted. Debra kept talking about our kindness, and we did the same about hers and her mother's. With tears in the eyes, the workers were blown away by this whole exchange between four strangers. I left the waiters a tip that would cover all of our meals and we were on our way.
I've been witnessing so much kindness, especially over the last few years, as I began to pay more attention. We now have a new favorite restaurant and every time we go there my plan is to pay for someone else's meal.

Once upon a time, where there was a little boy naming Sima Guang. One day, he played with some boys near a big tank in front of the house. One of the boy wanted to hide himself in a tank. He thought somebody could find him if he hid in it. And he didn't know the tank was full of water. When he climbed to the top, he fell into the tank. The other boys ran to ask help at once. But Sima Guang didn't. He stood there, thinking hardly. Then he had a good idea. Quickly, he picked up a big stone and break the tank. In this way, Sima Guang saved the boy. How a clever boy!

Teachers say the digital age has had a good influence - and a not-so-good influence - on this generation of American teenagers. More than 2,000 teachers took an online survey. Three-quarters of the teachers said the Internet and digital search tools have had a " mostly positive" effect on their students' research habits and skills. But 64 percent said the technologies " do more to distract(使……分心) students than to help them academically. " And 87 percent agreed that these technologies are creating an " easily distracted generation with short attention spans. "
The Pew Internet Project did the survey with the National Writing Project. Judy Buchanan is the vice director of the National Writing Project and a co-author of the report. Ms. Buchanan says digital research tools are helping students learn more and faster. " Teachers really favor these tools because they are ways to make some of the learning exciting and engaging. Young people favor these tools. The goal is to really help them become creators of meaningful content, and not just sort of consumers. "
But one problem the survey found is that many students lack digital literacy. They trust too much of the information they find on the Internet. Judy says these students haven' t developed the skills to determine the quality of online information. " It' s something that really has to be taught and paid attention to. Because in a world in which things happen quickly, you do need to step back, reflect and analyze the information you have. "
Another problem is blamed on something that might not seem like a problem at all: being able to quickly find information online. Teachers say the result is a reduction in the desire and ability of their students to work hard to find answers. They say students are overly dependent on search engines and do not make enough use of printed books or research libraries.
Many teachers are also concerned that the Internet makes it easy for students to copy work done by others instead of using their own abilities.
