Molly had a bad day yesterday. When she got out of bed, she stepped on her favorite doll and broke her head off. She dropped her breakfast plate on the kitchen floor. At school her pencil broke in half. She fell on the ground heavily at break time and hurt her left leg. Billy put a glass of water on her head.
“I’m having a bad day,” she cried, throwing herself on her bed.
“What’s the matter, Molly?” her mom asked. Molly couldn’t stop crying to tell her mom about them.
“I know what will make you happy. Come with me,” her mom thought for a moment and said. They walked down the street to the park. Mom pushed Molly on the swing(秋千).
“Wow! This is fun,” Molly laughed.
They took their shoes off and played in the stream. Both of them ate bananas and ice creams. The ice creams dripped (滴) on to their clothes, but Mom didn’t mind.

When we talk about how teenagers are getting worse and worse now, most young people don’t agree. Teenagers always say they are growing up. They can have part-time jobs. And they can even drive a car.
Their parents say, “Our children are very good. They like pop music and they play it in their own rooms. They help us in the house. You know they feel bored sometimes because there’s nothing interesting in the neighbourhood, no clubs, and no sports.”
A teacher says that he believes most young people are very kind. He thinks that it’s not bad for young people to like loud music because it can give them lots of energy and makes them feel excited. Also, a lot of young people work very hard at school, and they can get good jobs later.
Lewis, a sixteen-year-old boy said, “I have passed all my examinations but I can’t get a part- time job because older people always think I’ m lazy.”
In my opinion, a lot of teenagers are very kind. They belong to community(社区) work groups. They help old people, and they also volunteer in local hospitals or primary schools to help look after patients and younger students.

Albert was an ordinary worker in an oil company in America. His workmates gave a nickname（绰号）“Four dollars a bucket of oil” below his name whenever and wherever he wrote down his name.
As time went by, people forgot his real name. Later, when Rockefeller, the board chairman(董事长)of the oil company, heard of it, he was very surprised, so he invited Albert to come to his office.
“Some people give you a nickname for ‘Four dollars a bucket’. Why aren’t you angry?” asked Rockefeller with some puzzlement in his eyes.
“Oh! Mr. Rockefeller! I like this nickname very much, because ‘Four dollars a bucket’ is our company’s advertisement. As long as someone calls me‘ Four dollars a bucket’ once, I think it’s free advertisement for our company. It’s not necessary for me to get angry. Don’t you think so , Mr. Rockefeller?”
“Oh! What a wonderful man!” Rockefeller said excitedly when hearing Albert’s words “Young man! Work harder, you must be successful in the future! I believe in you!”
Five years later, Albert became the second board chairman after Rockefeller.
Later Albert said in one of his reports, “I don’t think we should feel frustrated when we have no way to do the world-shaking things. We should treat every thing actively because maybe our future success will begin from a small thing!”
