　　In general, laws for children are a good thing．

　　One hundred years ago in industrial countries, children worked 18 hours a day in a factory at age seven．The factory owner could beat a child who fell asleep of was not fast enough．Both parents and teachers could do the same．

　　Today, there are many laws about children all over the world．Some people think children must obey rules or they should be punished, others do not agree．The Inuits or Eskimos in Alaska almost never punish their children．The parents dot hit them．If the children go too far, the parents punish them by making fun of them．

　　Children in other parts of the world are not as lucky as Eskimo children．American parents can spank(打……臀部)their children at home, but a teacher cannot hit a child in a public school．This is also true in Germany．In contrast(對(duì)比), it is against the law for anyone to hit a child in Sweden．Swedish parents cannot spank their children．The children also have a special government official who works for their rights．There is even a plan for children to divorce from their parents though this is not a law yet!

　　Reading for pleasure is the easiest way to become a better reader in English．It is also the most important way．

　　Some students say they don't want to read for pleasure．They say they want to use their time to learn the rules of the language and new words．They say that pleasure reading is too easy．

　　Many experts(專家)say pleasure reading is very important for learning English．Dr．Stephen Krashen, a famous expert on learning languages, says that pleasure reading helps you learn many important things about English．Students learn more grammar and more words when they read for pleasure．They also learn more about good writing．

　　Dr．Krashen tells us that pleasure reading helps each student in a different way．Each student needs to learn something different．Pleasure reading makes it possible for each student to learn what he or she needs．

　　Reading for pleasure is not the same as studying．When you read for pleasure, you choose your own books, and you don't have to remember everything．There are no tests on your pleasure reading books．Pleasure reading will help you：

　　●learn how English speakers use English

　　●read faster in English

　　●find examples of good writing in English

　　●learn new words

　　Different people have different happiness．Happiness is for everyone．You don't need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and lots of money and so on．Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads in their free time．

　　In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it．When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it; and when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too．All these are your happiness．

　　Happiness is not the same as money．It is the feeling of your heart．When you are poor you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can't be bought with money．When you come across difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself．So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck．As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋轉(zhuǎn)的)door．When it closes, it also opens．If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person．

1．Why can one say loudly he is happy when he comes across difficulties?

2．What will people around you do when you do something wrong?

　　Thanksgiving Day is a very special day for people in the United States．They celebrate it on the last Thursday in November．Canadians also celebrate Thanksgiving Day, but they do it on the second Monday of October．In Britain, where this festival is called Harvest Festival, people celebrate it earlier in the year, in September．

　　A harvest is the fruit you take from the trees and the crops you take from the ground．In North America and Britain, harvest time for most fruit and crops is in the autumn．In these countries and other Christian places, people give thanks to God on a special day of the year．They thank God for the good things that have happened during the year and for the good harvest they have had．People usually take small boxes of fruit, flowers, and vegetables to their churches to show their thanks．

　　The first thanksgiving service(儀式)in North America took place on December 4th, 1619 when 33 English people, arrived in America to make their home in the new country．They held this service not to thank God for the harvest, but to thank God for their safe journeys．The next year, many more English people arrived．They had a bad winter, but fortunately the harvest was good．They decided to celebrate it with a big meal．They shot and killed small animals to eat and cooked everything outside on large fires．About 90 Indians also came to the meal．Everyone ate at tables outside their houses and played games together．The festival lasted three days．

　　A Thanksgiving Day celebration was held every year for a long time, but not always on the same day of the year．Then, in 1789, President George Washington named November 26th as the Day of Thanksgiving．In 1863, President Abraham Lincoln changed the date, and said that the last Thursday in November should be Thanksgiving Day．

　　Nowadays, North Americans around the world get together with their families on this day to eat good food and have a happy time．
