Do you know how to play a game called “Musical Chairs〞? It is easy to play and most people enjoy it. All you need are some chairs, some people and some way of making music. You may use a piano or any other musical instrument, if someone can play it. You may use a tape recorder. You can even use a radio.
Put the chairs in a row. The chairs may be put in twos, back to back. A better way is to have the chairs in one row with each chair facing in the opposite direction to the chair next to it.
The game is easy. When the music starts, the players walk round the chairs. Everyone goes in the same direction, of course, they should walk in time to the music. If the music is fast they should walk quickly. If the music is slow, they should walk slowly.
The person playing music cannot see the people in the game. When the music stops, the players try to sit on the chairs. If a person cannot find a chair to sit on, he drops out. Then, before the music starts again, one chair must be taken away. When the music stops again, one more player will be out.
At last, there will be two players and one chair. The one who sits on the chair when the music stops is the winner.

“Well, we’re in our new house. Let’s get a new pet to get along with it,〞 Mrs Brown said to her husband.
“That sounds like a pretty good idea,〞he answered. “Do you want to see the ads in the newspaper?〞
“Let’s go to the animal shelter. Many pets there need homes. Since tomorrow is Saturday, we can both go,〞 she said.
Next morning the Browns met Mr Snow at the animal shelter. “We want to be sure that the pets here go to good homes,〞Mr Snow said, “So I need to ask you some questions.〞After they talked for a while, the Browns decided to get a small dog.

A famous teacher was speaking to the students at our school. He began his lesson by holding up a ¥100 bill. Then he said to the three hundred students, “Who would like this ¥100 bill?〞The students began to put up their hands at once.
Then he said, “I am going to give this ¥100 to one of you, but first, let me do this.〞 He then made the bill into a ball. Then he said, “Who wants it now?〞 The hands went back into the air.
“Well,〞he said, “Wha t if I do this?〞 and he dropped it on the floor and stepped on it. He picked up the dirty, crumpled bill and said, “Who still wants it?〞 Hands went back into the air.
“My friends,〞he said, “you have learned a valua ble lesson today. No matter (无论) what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not go down in value (价值). It was still worth ¥ l00!〞
Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and stepped on by the chances we take and the things that happen to us. We feel as if we are worth nothing. But remember, no matter what has happened to you, you will never lose your value: you are always valuable to those people who love you. Your value doesn’t come from what you do or whom you know, but WHO YOU ARE.
You are special and valuable. Don’t ever forget it!

“I sometimes get up at three or four in the morning and I surf the net.〞
“I often check my e-mail forty times a day.〞
“I often spend more than three hours during one time on the net.〞
“I spend more time in chat rooms(聊天室) than with my ‘real-1ife’ friends.〞
Do you know any people like these? They are part of a new addiction(瘾) called Internet addiction. Internet addicts spend at least thirty to forty hours online every week. The use of the Internet can be an addiction like drug(HY) use. People lose control(控制) of the time they spend on the Internet
For example, one college student was missing for several days. His friends were worried, and they called the police. The police found the student in the computer lab: he was surfing the net for several days straight.
Studies show that about 6 to 10% of Internet users become addicted. And people worry about the teens because the Internet is changing the playing field for some of them. They spend more time in cyberspace than in the real world of friends and family.
Is “surfing the net〞 a hobby or an addiction for you? You may have a problem if you have these symptoms(病症):
●You do not go to important family activities or you do not do school work because you like to spend hours on the Internet.
