3.When most people talk of a classroom,they think of older people teaching younger ones.But when it comes to learning about high-technology devices,the opposite can often be true.That is what is happening through a program in the eastern American city of Columbia,Maryland.The 50Plus Center provides free technology classes for adults aged 50and older.The teachers are often teenagers and even younger children.
Myra Stafford is 73years old.She signed up for the workshop to learn how to use her iPad.Ms.Stafford says she is learning quickly about the device and that she enjoys learning from younger people.
Eleven-year-old Zhion Perkins teaches Ms.Stafford.He says,"You have to be really,really patient because some of them might not accept the knowledge as smoothly as others."Meridy McCague,director of the 50Plus Center,says,"As people are aging,their worlds get a little smaller.Some of them can no longer drive; some of them don't get out to make long trips to visit their relatives.The program brings them back into Facebook and Skype.Now,they can do everything from ordering things from Amazon to ordering groceries or meals.Teaching senior citizens about technology can prove helpful for the economy.As seniors get more excited about using the technology,they're going into the market place and buying some products.So that's a boom in economy right there."
Madison Lam is a 17-year-old teacher of the technology workshop.She says she also learns a lot from helping seniors.
Safire Windley is head of the Youth and Teen Center that operates the program.She says young people gain social skills from teaching older residents.This is something they need.

14.Jason had been watching the X Games on TV.Athletes from all over the world were competing in the most amazing sports.Just then his grandmother walked into the room."I want to be extreme.Would you really let me do that?You always worry about my safety!"said Jason.
"You will have to follow some rules,"said his grandmother."You can only ride in the park-never on the streets.You have to promise to wear a helmet (头盔).If you hurt yourself too much,I have the right to take your skateboard away.Is it a deal?"
"You bet!"Jason was so excited that he jumped off the sofa.A week later he had a board and a helmet.
On Saturday,his grandmother dropped him off near the park.He was happy to have a grandmother who let him try new things.
Kids in the park were moving quickly up and down the ramps (坡道).They flew into the air and landed as easily as birds.When he watched the X games,Jason felt like he was doing the tricks himself.But watching these kids up close,he knew that none of it was going to be easy.He felt a little bit scared.
Very slowly he carried his board to the ramp.Taking a deep breath,he put his right foot on the board.He kicked off with his left foot.For a few seconds he glided (滑行) along,just waiting to fall.Then he came to a stop.Kicking off again,he waited for the worst to happen.Again,he stayed up.The third time he kicked,lost his balance,and fell hard on his left knee.
It hurt,but it was no big deal!Why had he been so scared?Now he felt calm because things had gone wrong,and he was fine!
