    Many parents try hard to protect their kids from TV and Internet advertising. But how can you protect a child from a large fast-food ad painted on her school locker(衣物柜)?Or a toy ad on the side of his school bus?

    As school budgets get smaller, a growing number of schools in the US are selling advertising space on lockers, buses and in gyms or cafeterias. It is an easy way for schools to make money. And ads may provide relief for parents exhausted by making cash donations to support schools.

    While parents can always turn off the televisions or the computers, they can't keep advertising out of schools. This isn't the first time the issue has come up. For example, a news programme for teens has been criticised for including ads in its 12-minute classroom broadcasts. And parents' groups successfully fought a plan by a company called Bus Radio to put music and ads into school buses.

    But now things are different. Just last month, Los Angeles approved a plan to allow companies to advertise in the district's schools. Officials say the plan could provide as much as $18 million for the schools.

    In St. Francis, Minn. schools recently agreed to cover 10% to 15% of their lockers with ads. Edward Saxton, a teacher in the school, says, "So far, parents are accepting this as a way to bring in needed money. The money pays for programmes like arts, sports and music. Parents don't like to see programmes getting cut. Neither do I. Besides, schools are thinking about the effects on kids all the time. "

    However, Susan Linn, an educational expert, says, "Kids have already seen enough ads on TV, in magazines and the products they use daily. School is no place for advertisements at all. "

    Readers, what about you? Would you rather help run yet another school fundraiser, or expose your child to ads on lockers and buses? Is keeping ads out of schools worth raising taxes, or increasing your own cash support for school through donations?

    Over the years I've been teaching kids about a simple but powerful concept—the ant philosophy, an (amaze) four-part philosophy.

    First, ants never quit. If they're heading somewhere and you try to stop them, they'll climb over. they'll climb under, or they'll climb around. They never give up (look) for a way to get where they (suppose) to go! Second, ants think about winter and summer. They are always gathering in their winter food in the middle of summer and they are making. (prepare) for the long cold winter. So you have to think about storms in summer; think about rocks you enjoy the sand and sun. Third, ants think about summer all winter. During the winter, they remind (they), "This won't last long and we'll soon be out of here. " On ．first warm day, the ants are out. If it (turn) cold again, they'll dive back down. But they come out again if it is warm Last, how much will an ant gather during the summer to prepare for the winter? All that it (possible) can. you can learn from the ant philosophy is: Never give up, look ahead, stay positive and do all you can.

Having a good teacher do mean a lot to us students and I am lucky enough to have the one —-Miss Brown, my English teacher.

    Miss Brown is a charming lady always worn a big smile on her face. In the first class she introduced her and then asked us to say something about ourselves with English. When it was my turn, I felt too shy and fearful that I didn't dare to say a word. She came up to me and said, “Don't afraid. You can make it. Just have a try.” At last, I did it quite good. She praised me for that I had done.

    Never shall I forgot my first English class in senior high school.

    Honesty comes in many forms. First there's self-honesty. Is what people see the real article or do you appear through smoke and mirrors? I find that if I try to be something I'm not, I feel unsure of myself and take out a part from my PBA (personal bank account). I love how singer Judy Garland put it, "Always be a first-class version(版本) of yourself, instead of a second-class version of somebody else. "

    Then there's honesty in our actions. Are you honest at school, with your parents, and with your boss? If you've ever been dishonest, I think we all have. Try being honest, and notice how whole it makes you feel. Remember, you can't do wrong and feel right. This story by Jeff is a good example of that:

    In my second year of study, there were three kids in my maths class who didn't do well. I was really good at it. I would charge them three dollars for each test that I helped them pass. I'd write on a little piece of paper all the right answers, and hand them off.

    At first I felt like I was making money, kind of a nice job. I wasn't thinking about how it could hurt all of us. After a while I realised I shouldn't do that anymore, because I wasn't really helping them. They weren't learning anything, and it would only get harder down the road. Cheating certainly wasn't helping me.

    It takes courage to be honest when people all around you are getting away with cheating on tests, lying to their parents, and stealing at work. But, remember, every act of honesty is a deposit(储蓄)into your PBA and will build strength.

    Recently a new research has been reported. It said that many fathers of children experienced lots of injuries per year while playing with (they)children. Some fathers felt that it was the most dangerous thing of being a parent walking across the floor (cover)by toys. And some of them fell over because clothes or other things (throw)everywhere. Besides, third of fathers were knocked down by their young children when fighting with them and a quarter got hurt when playing football or climbing trees with them. In fact, one five young fathers picked up an injury when doing something that wasn't suitable for them.

    The research also found that some of the fathers who were  (serious)injured had to take time off work. ,not all of them had medical insurance(保险)in place (prevent)the case that they were too ill to work. And they were more likely to face a situation their mobile phones and holiday bookings declined sharply during illness. So the fathers took much (press)from both the family and the work.

    About this time every year, I get very nostalgic(怀旧的)．Walking through my neighborhood on a fall afternoon reminds me of a time not too long ago when sounds of children filled the air，children playing games on a hill, and throwing leaves around in the street below. I was one of those children, carefree and happy. I live on a street that is only one block long. I have lived on the same street for sixteen years. I love my street. One side has six houses on it, and the other has only two houses, with a small hill in the middle and a huge cottonwood tree on one end.When I think of home, I think of my street. Only I see it as it was before. Unfortunately things change. One day, not long ago, I looked around and saw how different everything has become.Life on my street will never be the same because neighbors are quickly grown old, friends are growing up and leaving, and the city is planning to destroy my precious hill and sell the property to contractors.

    It is hard for me to accept that many of my wonderful neighbors are growing old and won't be around much longer. I have fond memories of the couple across the street, who sat together on their porch swing almost every evening, the widow next door who yelled at my brother and me for being too loud, and the crazy old man in a black suit who drove an old car. In contrast to these people, the people I see today are very old neighbors who have seen better days. The man in the black suit says he wants to die, and another neighbor just sold his house and moved into a nursing home. The lady who used to yell at us is too tired to bother any more, and the couple across the street rarely go out to their front porch these days. It is difficult to watch these precious people as they near the end of their lives because at once I thought they would live forever.

    The “comings and goings” of the younger generation of my street are now mostly “goings”as friends and peers move on. Once upon a time, my life and the lives of my peers revolved around home. The boundary of our world was the gutter at the end of the street. We got pleasure from playing night games or from a breathtaking ride on a tricycle. Things are different now, as my friends become adults and move on. Children who rode tricycles now drive cars. The kids who once played with me now have new interests and values as they go their separate ways. Some have gone away to college like me, a few got married, two went into the army, and one went to prison. Watching all these people grow up and go away makes me long for the good old days.

    Perhaps the biggest change on my street is the fact that the city is going to turn my precious hill into several lots for now homes. For sixteen years, the view out of my kitchen window has been a view of that hill. The hill was a fundamental part of my childhood life; it was the hub of social activity for the children of my street. We spent hours there building forts, sledding, and playing tag. The view out of my kitchen window now is very different; it is one of tractors and  dump trucks tearing up the hill. When the hill goes, the neighborhood will not be the same. It is  a piece of my childhood. It is a visual reminder of being a kid. Without the hill, my street will be just another pea in the pod.

    There was a time when my street was my world, and I thought my world would never change. But something happened. People grow up, and people grow old. Places changes, and with the change comes the heartache of knowing I can never go back to the times I loved. In a year or so, I will be gone just like many of my neighbors. I will always look back to my years as a child, but the place I remember will not be the silent street whose peace is interrupted by the  sounds of construction. It will be the happy, noisy, somewhat strange, but wonderful street I knew as a child.

    I was in the college when my father passed away. One evening, a man visited me and after a while, he asked of my studies. I told him I could not go to college so I did not want to study anymore. He reminded how my father had sent me to the best college in our city. Did I want to fulfill his father's dream or did I want to be calling a failure? I wept and said I do want to do my best and I just couldn't concentrate. He gave me all the encouragements I needed to be able to carry on. His calming, gently voice did wonders and I decided to study harder and complete my graduation early.

    Trying to come to a decision complete on your own can be risky. Some decisions are very important that they shouldn't made without talking to others first．There have several advantages if you consult the persons you trust．For one thing，they can give you valuable，advice and they may point out some things you may have been overlooked．For another，friends may stop，you making big mistakes.

    When consult others about important decisions，you should keep two things on mind．The first one is that you need to find someone whom you respected enough to trust his or her judgment. The second thing to consider is how to do if you disagree with this person．Maybe turning to a third or fourth person for help is a good choice. In a word，making any big decision alone can lead to problems. Talking to friends or family members first are always a good idea．
