Now I'd like tell you something about my part-time job this summer vacation，in which I worked as the guide in a travel agency．It was the first time that I have earned money on my own．I've realized what hard my parents work to support for the family．I used to keep on ask them for money，but now I'll learn to share worry with my parents．I've learned how to get along well with others．Beside，I have gained some social experience and you have learned something that can't be learned from textbook．In a word，I had a wonderfully and valuable summer vacation．

6．As shocking as the idea of baby birds growing up in a cigarette-filled home sounds，a new study suggests that some birds may benefit from putting the stuff from cigarette butts （烟蒂） into their nests．The nicotine remaining in smoked filters （滤嘴） may serve as a natural insecticide （杀虫剂），driving harmful insects away from the nests and the baby birds living within．Tobacco plants produce nicotine because it defends against insects that would otherwise eat the plants．
The butts are undoubtedly smelly．But birds are actually quite fond of smelly chemicals，such as those found in aromatic （芳香的） plants．Some nest-building species regularly fill their nests with fresh aromatics，possibly because the chemicals are good for the immune system or the development of the chicks．Alternatively，the plant chemicals might act as insecticides．
In the study，researchers at the Autonomous University of Tlaxcala in Mexico set up heat traps，which attract harmful insects，in 55nests around Mexico City．Some traps were lined with the stuff in smoked cigarette filters．The others were lined with the stuff from unsmoked cigarette filters，which did not contain nicotine and other smoking by-products．Whether the nest held eggs，chicks or nothing，the unsmoked cigarette traps collected more harmful insects，suggesting that it is the chemicals that drove harmful insects away．
In a second experiment，the researchers collected 28house sparrow nests and 29house finch （朱雀） nests from Mexico City immediately after the chicks flew out for food．They found that the more smoked filter stuff filled a nest，the fewer harmful insects it had．
The missing piece of the puzzle is whether the reduced number of harmful insects in the nests actually provided any benefit to the chicks．It is also unclear if nicotine or another chemical found in cigarettes may have turned the harmful insects out of the nests．
If the results hold，then this study is an example of wildlife adaptation to urbanization-or at least evidence that birds are smart and can still follow their noses in urban environments．

3．We all know what it's like to get that phone call in the middle of the night．That night‘s call was no different．
"Hello"My heart beat hard．
"Mama"The voice answered．My thoughts immediately went to my daughter．
"Mama，I've been drinking．I nearly ran off the road a few miles back．All I could think of was if it would hurt you if a policeman came to your door and said I'd been killed．I want to come home．I know running away was wrong．I know you've been worried．I should have called you days ago but I was afraid．"
My senses were clear now，"I think…"
"No!Please let me finish!"She pleaded in desperation．Before I could go on，she continued．"Are you still there？Please don't hang up on me!I need you．"
"I'm here，I wouldn't hang up，"I said．
"I know I should have told you．But，when we talk，you just keep telling me what I should do．You don't listen to me．You never let me tell you how I feel．Because you're my mother you think you have all the answers．But sometimes I don't need answers．I just want someone to listen．"
"I'm listening，"I whispered．

8．The Top 4Lies Girls Hear
1．"You'll never be good at math．"
It's generally accepted that boys are good at math while girls aren't．The fact is that it isn't true-at least，it doesn't have to be．When girls reach their teens，most of them lose their interest in math．They're trying to be regarded as female．They want to stay away from things that are boy things，and math is still considered a boy thing．Math class is hard，but if you gave it a chance you could be great at math，especially because you are a girl．
2．"Being skinny is good，and how you diet is your business．"
Lots of web sites tell visitors that losing interest in eating is a beautiful thing．These"skinny is better"sites are lying．Losing interest in eating is a disease，not a fashion statement．It can kill you．
3．"You don't deserve（应得，值得） to make as much money as a guy．"
It's said that in 2002women who work full-time earn about 23percent less than guys earn．Once you see real women succeeding in cool jobs，you'll truly get that you're worth just as much as-or  more than any guys．
4．"Caffeine（咖啡因）will help you study better．"
Caffeinated soft drinks have long been advertised as must-haves when you have to work very hard．But if you want to do your body a big favor，you'd better give up caffeine altogether．
