Courage(勇氣) is the ability to be brave in different kinds of situations in our life．Here and there, now and then, everyone needs courage to do something well．Courage may make you confident of your success．If you have courage, you will not show fear in face of anything difficult or dangerous．

How can we build up our courage?

Believe that you will be successful．Take chances and know that you have your own talents．Besides, your family and friends are always there for you．

Exercise your courage．It is like a muscle(肌肉)．The more we use it, the stronger our courage will be．

Know that giving up is not a choice．It’s much easier to give up, and it takes courage to say or do what you think is right, even when other people think you are wrong．

Fight to control your fear．Courageous people may still be afraid, but the difference is that they can control their fear．They don’t let it hold them back but use it as a reminder of what they can lose if they don’t go on．

Get courage by reading inspiring( 令人鼓舞的) stories of brave people．Abraham Lincoln is one of the people who you may think of．

Students all around the world think it great to have some money in their pocket. But how much do they get?

American kids andpocket money

Most American children think having pocket money will help them to understand money better. Here’s what some of them say:

Jacob---- I have to do 10 times of the housework a week to get pocket money.

Katty---- I get $20 twice a month. I put $5 in the bank and spend $15 on new stuff

Nathan, Sam---- We save half of our pocket money every week.

Amy---- I get $10 a week for doing the housework. I don’t get money if I don’t do that.

Amber---- I don’t save too much. I spend a lot when I go shopping.

Sam, Tess----We put our pocket money in the bank, and spend our birthday and Christmas money.

British children and pocket money

In London, children get 10 pounds every week, children in Scotland (蘇格蘭) get 8 pounds, and children in Wales (威爾士) get the most, about 13.5 pounds! Also, British boys get a little more pocket money than girls.

Like kids in the US, British children do the housework to earn their pocket money. That’s why British children know a lot about spending money. 7% of them spend less than ￡1 each week, 22% spend between ￡1 and ￡5, and 20% spend over ￡5 each week. What do they buy with their money? Most of them spend it on sweets, crisps (薯片) and chocolate.

Is it good to have pocket money?

Some parents may ask the question, the answer is: Of course yes! If children have some pocket money, they can learn to find out what things cost, save money for things that they want. There are lots of good lessons to learn:

If you spend it all at once, there is no money until your next “pay day” (發(fā)薪日).

If you bought the wrong thing, you’ll be more sensible (明智的) next time.

If you borrow money, you have to pay it back.

As more students begin to use computers for a long time，more of them are feeling eyestrain(視疲勞)．Just a few hours in front of a computer screen can make a person's eyes feel tired and painful．A number of doctors have studied this growing problem and have found ways to deal with it．Following their advice will help keef computer users more comfortable．Here is some advice．

The light in a room shouldn't be brighter than the computer screen itself．In many classrooms，however，the lights are far brighter than they should be．Students can prevent some of this light by wearing baseball caps if they are allowed at school．

A special computer screen should be used to cut down on bright light because it is especially tiring to the eyes Another problem to avoid is the wrong kind of contrast(對比)．It is best to have dark letters on a light hackground．This causes less eyestrain than light letters on a dark background．

Students should he seated so that they are looking down at the computer screen rather than straight a head，which is a far more tiring angle(角度)．The top of the screen should be a little lower than the top of the head．

The length(長度) of time students spend in front of a computer screen leads greatly to eyestrain．Students should rest a while by looking away from the screen every fifteen to twenty minutes．During that time they should either close their eyes or look at something at a distance．Long-term computer use can dry out the eyes，so students shouht remember to blink(眨眼)often while in front of the screen．
