19．A group of kids at McIntyre Elementary School，in Pittsburgh，Pennsylvania，have created a special bench to make sure their fellow classmates aren't left out on the playground．Called the"Buddy Bench"，students can use the seat as a safe and supportive place to let others know they'd like to be included in playtime，but may be too shy to ask．
The concept of the Buddy Bench is simple：Students who want to partake in playground games and activities，but may feel hesitant，can take a seat，which signifies（表明） to other children on the playground that they may need something extra to encourage them to participate．
The idea for the bench came about last year，when Farrell，school counselor at McIntyre Elementary，was conducting a leadership group to help students overcome shyness and gain confidence．Four fourth-grade students came up with the idea for the Buddy Bench in this workshop，and worked with Farrell to draft a letter to present to the Parent Teacher Staff Organization to make the bench a reality．The PTSO approved the students'proposal，and installed（安装） a bright metal bench with a cheerful sign that reads"Buddy Bench"on the school's playground．
Since it was installed on Nov.16，the bench has been effective．The simple concept has resonated with（引起共鸣） the students，and already has created a better environment within the school community．
"Each day，I go to see the buddy bench working，"Farrell said．"The lessons they are learning now will benefit them their entire lives．It is simply a beautiful example of kids wanting to be kind and continue to be kind every day．"

16．A farmer grew some vegetables in his garden．One day his wife was ill and he had no money．He had to sell some cabbages and carrots in the market．The next morning he took two baskets of vegetables to town．But it was raining hard that afternoon and there were few people in the street．When his vegetables were sold out，it was dark．He bought some medicine and hurried to his village．
On his way home he saw a person lying on the snow．He placed his baskets on the ground and was going to help the person to get up．At that time he found it was a dead man and there was much blood on his body．He was so afraid that he ran away quickly，without taking the baskets with him．
The next afternoon the farmer was sent to the police station．Having shown the baskets，an officer asked："Are these yours？""Yes，sir．"the farmer answered timidly（胆怯地）．"Have you killed the man？""No，no，sir．"the farmer said in a hurry．"When did you see the dead man？""About seven last evening．""Did you see who killed the man？""No，Sir．"The officer brought out a knife and asked，"Have you seen it yet？""No，Sir．'The officer became angry and told the policemen to beat him up and send him into prison．

15．Vacation is a time for refreshment．In work，we are often called to think．Sometimes，it's good to give our brains a rest．Without a break，we may not be able to perform up to our potential．This can be a problem，not only for the employee，but for the employer as well．
"The main benefit of vacation is for the worker to come back energized，"says Weaver．"If they haven't had a break，then they're not coming back with new energy．They haven't had a chance to step back and get perspective（远景），and come back with renewed enthusiasm．"
Long working hours without a break，insecurity（不安）about one's job，and other work-related worries can lead to burnout and stress．Humans can usually adapt to pressure，but not for a limitless amount of time．
"It is a problem of relating good workers and having them loyal to the firm while they're there，"says David Maume，PhD，professor of sociology at the University of Cincinnati．He says burnout can also affect employees'productivity，creativity，and effectiveness．
In addition，high levels of stress are likely to be precursors （前兆） to depression，which can hit both the employer and employee's pocketbook．Even people who manager to remain productive at work can have problems．If they're always at work，then they're not with their family and friends．If they're working while on vacation，for the time that they're on the job，they're not really present．
An unbalanced emphasis on work can strain family and social life．When you come up for air，you may see that you're alone，or that your relationships have gone on without you．

14．Reading can be a social activity．Think of the people who belong to book groups．They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them．Now，the website BookCrossing．com turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group．
Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share．BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book．Then the person leaves it in a public place，hoping that the book will have an adventure，traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it．
Bruce Pederson，the managing director of BookCrossing，says，"The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read．BookCrossing combines both．"
Members leave books on park benches and buses，in train stations and coffee shops．Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it．
People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it．E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found．Bruce Peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home．
BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the"real"and not the virtual（虚拟）．The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries．

In recent years，an increase number of young people have joined in the NEET group，which means they neither go to college or receive any training for future work but depend on their parents for a living．Most of us are aged from 16to 30．
In my opinion，it is shameful for the young not to make their own responsibility．Parents are getting older with each passing day．How if someday they cannot provide anything for children？Beside，society may break without the involvement of young people．With too many young people employed，it might have a harmful influence on the social stability and harmony．So the government must take effective measure to deal with this problem．
