In fact, parents, schools and society play an equally important role in developing the character of students. It is good for schools to give students such tasks, because few of the students will do them at home. Their parents want them to do homework only.
In recent years, some parents will make mountains out of molehills when students are asked to do some chores in schools. Some complain about the teachers if their kids get hurt in schools: some even challenge the schools’ teaching methods and management. As a result, many primary schools, especially those in big cities, do not let students join in outdoor activities during breaks, fearing that they might get hurt. This is bad for the development of students’ best qualities.
What the primary school in Fuzhou is doing worth praising. Doing chores can put a sense of responsibility into students’ minds and teach them the spirit of rules as well as teamwork. Also, it can make students’ in-school experiences more meaningful.

All over the world the need for more laptops and computers increases each works have been p_art_ of our life. Probably everyone with a portable device（移动设备） has once logged on to a public WiFi network without paying for it, while they are having a coffee, on a train, in a shopping mall or at a hotel. H_owever_, is this kind of public WiFi network safe
Some networks are better protected than others because encryption（加密） methods are used. Therefore, they are safer than others. But a survey in 2015 showed that more than 950 million records were not protected, i_ncluding_ addresses, emails, birth dates, phone numbers, passwords and so on. These open WiFi networks are really not safe, because it is very e_asy_ for hackers(黑客) to break into the operating system and get people’s private information.
Most smartphones and laptops, by t_hemselves_, search and connect to WiFi networks. They usually prefer a network with a connection that has been used before. Hackers’ devices are able to record these searches and look like the trusted WiFi networks. When these smartphones and laptops log on to the networks which are not real, hackers can easily s_teal_ their private information.
So next time, when we want to use our laptops or our smartphones in public places which offer free WiFi networks, please think it t_wice_ or take safe measures before using them.

In the summer between my first year and second year in college. I was invited to be an instructor at a high school camp. On the first day, when we were dancing and playing games, I noticed a boy under the tree who was small and thin. His shyness made him appear weak. I walked towards him, introduced myself and invited him to join in the activities and meet some new people. He quietly replied, “No, I really don’t want to do this.” I could understand that he was in a new world but I knew it wouldn’t be right to force him, either. Actually, the boy didn’t need a close talk but a friend.
At lunch the next day, I was leading camp songs when I saw the boy under the tree sitting alone. I tried again with the same invitation, but he refused once again. That evening I was told the boy’s name was Tommy. Then I asked the campers to pay special attention to the boy and spend time with him when they could.
The days went by and the time came when we had to leave. We held a big, warm party to celebrate the closing of camp. All the campers shared their wonderful moments. To my surprise, I found the boy from under the tree dancing joyfully with two girls. I couldn’t believe it was the same person.
In October of the second year, I received a phone call from Tommy’s mother. She told me that Tommy was hit by a car and killed. I offered my deep sadness. The mother said, “Tommy mentioned you so many times. I want you to know that he went back to school and made new friends with confidence. You made a difference for Tommy during his last months.”
At that moment, I realized how easy it was to give a bit of yourself every day. You may never know how much each gesture may mean to someone else. I hope that everyone can pay attention to their own “boy under the tree”.
翻译:
Actually, the boy didn’t need a close talk but a friend.
事实上，这个男孩不需要一个亲密的交谈，而是需要一个朋友。
You may never know how much each gesture may mean to someone else.
你可能永远不知道每个手势对别人的意义。
