    Unless we spend money to spot(认出，发现) and prevent asteroids(小行星) now, one might crash into Earth and destroy life as we know it, say some scientists.

    Asteroids are bigger versions of the meteoroids(流星体) that race across the night sky. Most orbit the sun far from Earth and don't threaten us. But there are also thousands of asteroids whose orbits put them on a collision course with Earth.

    Buy $500 million worth of new telescopes right now, then spend $10 million a year for the next 25 years to locate most of the space rocks. By the time we spot a fatal one, the scientists say, we'll have a way to change its course.

    Is it worth it? Two things experts consider when judging any risk are: ⑴How likely the event is; ⑵How bad the consequences if the event occurs. Experts think an asteroid big enough to destroy lots of life might strike Earth once every 500, 000 years, Sounds pretty rare but if one did fall. It would be the end of the world." If we don't take care of these big asteroids, they'll take care of us, "says one scientist.' It's that simple."

    The cure, though, might be worse than the disease. Do we really want fleets(舰队，车队) of nuclear weapons sitting around on Earth?" The world has less fear from doomsday(毁灭性) rocks than from a great nuclear fleet set against them," said a New York Times article.

    Once there was a famine(饥荒). A rich cook sent for twenty of the poorest children in the town and said to them, "In this basket there is a piece of bread for each of you. Take it and come back to me every day at this hour for more."

    In a hurry the hungry children got together around the basket, and fought over the bread because each wanted the largest piece. At last they went away without even thanking the good cook. Mary, a poorly - dressed girl, did not fight with the other children, but stood quietly in the distance. When the badly -behaved children had left, Mary took the smallest piece, which was all left in the basket. She kissed the cook's hand and went home.

    The next day the children were as badly - behaved as before. Mary got a piece of bread almost half the size of the one she got the first day. When she came home, her mother cut the bread open. Many new, shining pieces of silver fell out of it.

    Her mother was very worried, and said," Take the money back to the cook at once. The silver must have fallen into the dough (面团) by accident. Hurry up, Mary."

    When the little girl gave the rich man her mother's message, he said," It was no mistake. I had the silver pieces put into the smallest bread for you as a prize. Always be as satisfied, peaceable and thankful as you now are. Go home now, and tell your mother that the money is yours. "

— Excuse me, where is the bus stop? I think I       .

— Sorry. I don't know. I'm new here.

    As we all know, with the development of technology, smartphones have influenced the old people in our family a lot. A TV programme interviewed three teenagers on how smartphones influence their family.

My grandfather asked me to teach him how to play the popular video game King of Glory(王者荣耀). I was surprised that he was interested in this! He chats with family members on Wechat every day. He tries to learn other new things as well. For example, he watches courses on learning apps. Although he is old, he still cares about technology and sports. So, as we can see, the internet can help elderly people. —Xing Yuxi, 12, Chongqing

I live in Hangzhou, a city of technology. People enjoy the convenience(便利) brought by the internet. However, I often worry about the elderly. Take my grandma as an example. On one hand, she would like to get discounts by using mobile phones. On the other hand, she's afraid of getting cheated online. I think it takes time for elderly people to get used to these things. We should help them keep up with the times.  — Sun Run, 14, Zhejiang

Smartphones have made a big difference in my grandma's life. In the past, newspaper and TV programs were her only ways to get information. However, it was not good for her eyes, as she has severe cataracts(严重白内障). But now, she can listen to the news through all kinds of apps on her mobile phone. She doesn't have to look at the screen all the time. Sometimes, she even plays mobile games for fun. Thanks to the internet, my grandma now has a more colorful life.    —Wen Jiayi, 13, Sichuan

    You may wonder whether stress (焦虑) is a serious matter. The answer is "Yes". You should realize that stress is a risk to your health. If you want to live a long and healthy life, you need to begin to guard against stress from a young age.

Here are some ways to deal with stress and bring balance (平衡) to your life:

    Be positive

    One way to cancel out (消除) stress is through positive thinking. You should always look on the bright side of life, and imagine that you will have a happy and successful future.

    Learn to relax

    Force yourself to take a break from your studies and worries about exams. You can do this by taking a walk, reading a book, going to a concert or seeing a film, or just sitting in a private place and being silent for a moment.

    Take up a hobby

    Learn to paint, take up skating, or start playing a musical instrument. When you are busy with a hobby, you leave all your worries behind.

    Take care of your body

    Stress is your body's enemy. Taking exercise, eating healthily and getting enough sleep are all the things that can help you.

    Laugh

    Sometimes laughter is the best medicine for stress. Seeing a funny film or telling jokes with friends will often cheer you up when you are low.
