8．Oliver Twist
Oliver Twist lived in a home for poor boys．Every day，they were given terrible food to eat and made to work hard．One day，the boys made Oliver ask for more food．
"Please，sir，can we have some more？"Oliver said．
Mr．Bumble，who owned the home，was very angry．
"You，boy，are trouble!"Mr．Bumble said．He did not give Oliver more food．Instead，he hit him with a cane（藤条）．
Oliver couldn't take it any longer，and he ran away．He decided to go to London．He walked for seven days．
When Oliver got to London，he was hungry and tired．He had nowhere to live．Luckily，he met a friendly boy in the street．
The boy took Oliver to a house where an old man called Fagin lived．Lots of boys lived with Fagin．Fagin was pleased with Oliver and allowed Oliver to stay with him．
One day，a cruel-looking man called Bill Sikes and a woman called Nancy came to Fagin's house．They had a white dog with them．Bill was a thief．Oliver was afraid of him．Fagin was also a thief．He taught boys to steal．They stole handkerchiefs，watches，and money，but Oliver did not know they were stealing．
One day，Oliver went out with the boys into the streets．The other boys saw an old man called Mr．Brownlow buying a book．They stole his handkerchief and ran away．Oliver was scared．He ran away，too．
Mr．Brownlow saw Oliver running away．He shouted，"Stop，thief!"
Oliver was caught by a policeman．The policeman wanted to take Oliver to prison．Just then，the bookseller arrived．"Wait!This boy did not steal your handkerchief，"the bookseller said to Mr．Brownlow．"It was another boy．"
Mr．Brownlow felt sorry for Oliver．Oliver looked small and weak，and so Mr．Brownlow took him to his home．
Mr．Brownlow looked after Oliver who soon got stronger．Mr．Brownlow bought him some new clothes and taught him to read．
In Mr．Brownlow's house，there was a picture of a beautiful young woman．
"Who is that？"Oliver asked．
"That is my friend's daughter．She died．Interestingly，you look like her!"Mr．Brownlow commented．
Fagin and Bill were very angry with the boys for letting the policeman catch Oliver．They were worried that he would tell police about them．Bill made Nancy find Oliver and bring him to Fagin's house．Bill beat Oliver，but Nancy tried to stop him．
Bill made Oliver come with him to steal from a house owned by the Maylie family．
Bill and Oliver sneaked in （偷偷溜进） while the family was sleeping．However，the Maylies woke up．They had a gun and began to shoot at Bill and Oliver．Bill escaped，but Oliver was hurt．Oliver told the Maylies the story of his life，and they felt sorry for him．
"You can stay with us，"they said．
The Maylies had adopted a young woman called Rose．She had no father and mother．Rose and Oliver became good friends．Oliver loved the Maylie family，but he missed Mr．Brownlow．
One day，Oliver and Rose visited Mr．Brownlow's house．Rose saw the picture on Mr．Brownlow's wall．"That's my sister!"Rose said．
While Oliver was gone，Mr．Brownlow had discovered that Oliver was his friend's grandson．Mr．Brownlow then adopted Oliver and treated him as his own son．Oliver was very happy with his new family，but he was still in danger．
Fagin and Bill discovered where Oliver was living．They wanted to bring him back to Fagin's house．Nancy wanted to stop them．She met Mr．Brownlow in secret on a bridge．
She told Mr．Brownlow about Fagin and Bill，but one of Fagin's boys heard them and told the thieves．Bill was very angry，and he killed Nancy．The police knew Bill was the murderer．They saw Bill's white dog and followed it to find Bill．Bill tried to run away from them，but he fell and died．The police then found Fagin and took him to prison．

7．AS the 2016Presidential election （选举） is approaching，US high school students have become more interested in the election．They hope to have a voice in the process and，ultimately （最终），have a say in deciding the next US president．
Cypress Bay High junior Jacob Wilentz is one such student and he said the country needs change．Although Wilentz will only be 17this November，he said his opinion still counts．
"Even though I will not be old enough to vote in the next presidential election，my voice matters，as do the voices of every other individual in this country，"Wilentz said．"Discussions I may have with my peers，debates with teachers and communication with my parents allow me to be heard and give my opinions meaning and insight （洞察力）．"
Alain Jean，who was the 2008African American/Caribbean American vote director for Barack Obama in the state of Florida，said teenagers should be paying attention to the presidential election because many high school students will be of voting age by election time．She said candidates （候选人） have views and positions on certain topics that may affect teens'lives．
Cypress Bay High junior Olivia Ohayon is concerned about issues that younger Americans face，such as the cost of college education．
Ohayon said，"I believe it is my responsibility to discuss，and try to persuade my parents and other adults to concern themselves with，the issues important to the younger generation when casting their vote for president．"
Not only do teenagers think their voices are important，but some also think parents have to consider the views of their children when casting their vote．According to Lucy Rimalower，a licensed marriage and family therapist （治疗专家），parents must consider whether their vote represents their household and the teens living in it．
Jean said teenagers can also influence the election in other ways by getting involved in campaigns．She suggests that teenagers who actually believe in one of the candidates find the local headquarters （总部） for a campaign and volunteer．Campaign volunteers stuff envelopes，wave signs and go into neighborhoods to drop off literature （宣传材料） and try to get the word out．

6．Shaving all of your hair off isn't an easy thing to do．
But it's just what several dozen Americans choose to do each year to support friends and family with cancer who often don't have a choice but to go bald because of the effects of treatment．This year the popular Bald is Beautiful fundraiser（募捐）was held in New Hampshire on March 13．
Some say going bald is the least they can do for friends with cancer．
"I don't think hair decides who we are，but it's certainly something we're very protective of"，said Rebecca Pratt，a nurse at Cheshire Medical Center in New Hampshire．
Pratt，is no stranger to a"shiny dome（圆顶）"，as she calls it．She first went bald as a part of the fundraiser team at the hospital six years ago．At the time，her hair was down to the middle of her back，she said．
The team called"Andrea's Angels"was formed in honor of Cheshire Medical Center employee Andrea Smith，who died of cancer．
Last year，Bald is Beautiful events in the area raised about﹩40，000．The money goes toward basic requirements for cancer patients，including painkillers，gas money and groceries．It helps to reduce some of the financial burdens that come with illness．
Pratt said the act of shaving it all off can be emotional，but it's always worth it．
"It's   intimidating in the very beginning to think of losing all your hair，"she said．But she added that any anxiety she might have about shaving her head is nothing compared to what cancer patients have to deal with．

5．Jamie Oliver，the famous chef，thinks it's time for a revolution，one that takes place right on your plate．
Today is the fourth annual Food Revolution Day，a day of healthy-eating awareness．It is part of his global campaign to make schools around the world teach healthy cooking and eating as a must of their courses．
"I think that all you guys，should be taught how to cook delicious，fresh food from scratch----not complicated food，but nice，simple，everyday meals that are going to inspire，uplift，and make you and your future families live happier，healthier lives，"Oliver told TFK in an e-mail．
According to the global statistic that 42million children under the age of five are overweight，Oliver believes that this right is more important than ever．
Parts of Oliver's goal with this year's Food Revolution Day is to get one-and-a-half million people to sign his online petition（请愿书） for food education．Along with Oliver，musicians Ed Sheeran and Paul McCartney are urging people to read the petition，sign it，and share it to help reach their goal．
In the United Kingdom，Oliver and other activists found that food served in schools was often just unhealthy．The School Food Plan was created to address  the problem．It took effect in 2013and requires the UK's 22，000schools to serve healthy lunches while making food education a required part of classroom education for students aged 5-14．Free school lunches are also provided for all 5-，6-，and 7-year-olds under this plan．
Students at Charlton Manor Primary School get a cooking lesson in their school kitchen．Tim Baker，head of this school，always believes in the importance of teaching healthy eating，and wants to share his beliefs with students．He says the School Food Plan helped him put pressure on school food providers to improve food quality and healthiness．
"The School Food Plan has been fantastic，"Jamie Oliver says．"I'm hoping we're at a point where the UK can take the lead on food education，and as we start to see more and more British kids with a real knowledge and understanding of food and cooking，I see other countries starting to follow us．"
