5．Now if you go out or surf the Internet，one word is very popular among young people．That is the word"fashion"．But lots of young people don't know what it really means．They just think an iPhone 6is fashionable，new hair style is fashionable，a new kind of clothes is fashionable，and even smoking or drinking is fashionable．So they just try to do something to make themselves look fashionable．
These young people often do something wrong．Some children buy cigarettes （煙） and smoke them without letting their teachers or parents know．Some students learn to drink and it costs them a lot of money．Some children want their parents to buy them mobile phones，but they just use their phones to play games and chat with their friends．Some young students like to run after"fashionable"stars．They often do their best to see music stars and sometimes they have to go far away to see the stars face to face．They often have to look everywhere for the information（信息） of the"fashionable"stars．
But many other people don't think so．They think fashion means everything modern and useful things to people around us．Children should try to be really fashionable．

4．Most people follow others blindly mainly under the effect of peer（同齡人） pressure．Some people also feel it safe to follow a large number of people．In some rare cases it might be right to follow the crowd （群眾），but in most cases this can be one big mistake．Ninety-five percent of people never succeed because they are following the wrong group．Actually there are reasons why we shouldn't follow the crowd blindly．
   According to a study，people tend to follow the crowd when they aren't sure 
about the direction they should take．This means a large number of people could be 
following others without understanding what's right and what's wrong!This attracts more people to follow them and the result is that most people move in a certain 
direction even if it isn't right．
   A man who wants to be successful always hopes for others'guidance and he usually follows the same path of most people，but the question this man never asks himself is：are all of those people successful？Of course not!If you want to follow a crowd，then follow a successful one．However，in real life you'll only find one successful person among hundreds of people，and that's why following the crowd makes no sense at all．
    Most people act without thinking wisely．If you always follow others because
 they're greater than you in number，then sooner or later you'll discover that you're making decisions you might regret later．
    However，should we never follow the crowd？No．I'm not trying to say you 
should never follow the crowd，but instead I'm just asking you to think wisely before you take a decision．If you find others are right，there is no problem in following them，but if you have doubts about the direction they're moving in，don't follow them blindly．

3．Kindergartens（ 幼兒園 ） may teach you very important things you need to know．Dancy，a 5-year-old boy，saved his father's life with the skills he learned．
       The boy's father became seriously ill on the way home．He couldn't speak and could hardly move，but he tried hard to stop the car safely．At that point，Dancy used his father's phone to call his mother for help．The 5-year-old boy tried his best to give her mother the useful information，and he was able to tell where they were．Just as he had learned in the kindergarten，Dancy read the letters he saw on a nearby store sign："F，U，R，N，I，T，U，R，E．"But that wasn't enough for his mother to find them．Then he added that they were near a bridge．Finally，his mother understood he was talking about a store called Furniture 22 on New Jersey's Route22．The mother called 911 and the father was saved in time．
"He just thought his dad needed help，"Dancy's mother told the reporter．She also pointed out that her husband was a hero，too．"It is surprising for him to get off the highway （ 高速路 ） and get himself and his child to safety even when he was so sick，"she said．
Shine，head of the kindergarten，felt proud of his pupil．"Dancy's spelling skills helped him seizethe moment，"he said．"And that's the real value （價(jià)值  ） of education．"

2．Let's be honest，no matter how old we are，most of us love it when our parents do things for us．It makes our life easier，and we have less to worry about．
However，some parents like to do almost everything for their children．They see their children（and sometimes even adults） as babies!
It can be a very common（普遍） problem in China．Some parents care so much about the safety of their children that they are afraid to let them go anywhere or do anything by themselves．As a result，their children can't learn social skills，and depend more on their parents!
In fact，no children would really be happy that their parents look after them all the time．No parents would be happy knowing that their children don't know a thing about the world!Children need their own time to learn how to deal with problems．
It is nice that parents show their care to their children，it is nice that children know that their parents'care is the result of love，and it will be nicer if the children let their parents know how much love they really need，and how much love is too much．

1．"A wise（聰明的）old owl sat on an oak．The more he saw，the less he spoke，the more he heard．Why aren't we like that wise old bird？"-Edward H．Richards．
We all need to learn to listen well．Listening is a learned skill，the same as speaking in public．It just takes much longer to learn!Listening is a skill we should be practicing every day．
Listening shows others that they are important．It's a sign of respect（尊重）．If someone listens to you carefully when you are talking，it shows that they are really interested in what you are saying．
How do you practice listening？Here are some tips：
Put down whatever is in your hands．Are you in the middle of writing something？Put down the pen and start to listen．Are you reading something？Close it so that it will be impossible for you to look down and start reading again．Then put it down．
Face the person you are speaking with．Facing the person you are speaking with will help you listen more carefully．It will also make the person feel that you find what he is saying important．
Mind your body language．Standing towards the speaker will show interest．Looking around the room shows you have no interest．Looking that speaker in the eye tells him that he is important．
Listen completely．Do not start making comments（評(píng)論）after the first few words．Do not start thinking about your reply in your mind．Listen to the speaker carefully and try to understand what he is telling you．
