Why not ____?

   “I would rather die than go home!” said 13-year-old Liang. Liang is a Junior student from Hunan. Earlier this month, people found him in the undercarriage(起落架)of a plane! The plane was flying from Kunming to Chongqing. Liang stayed inside for more than one hour while the plane was high in the sky!

   It was very cold, very noisy and the winds were strong. Luckily, Liang survived. But his 12-year-old friend was not so lucky. He fell to his death during the take-off.

   So why did Liang do such a dangerous thing? Liang said his parents were divorced (离婚). He felt nobody cared for him. He was very sad so he left home.

   Kids face lots of problems these days, don’t they? They have too much homework to finish. They have a lot of exams to worry about. They sometimes fight with friends. Sometimes their parents don’t get on well. It can feel like the end of the world.

   How should we deal with these things? Do you just keep it secret and let it be? Do you write it down in your diary? Or do you do what Liang did and leave home? You don’t need to hide in a plane to get away from bad things. It’s very dangerous. Why not try talking to your parents?

Jean is a bright young lady who comes from a rich and famous family. She goes to a good university and has everything that money can buy. Well, almost everything is good. But the problem is that Jean’s family are so busy that they can hardly find time to be with her. So Jean spends a lot of time on her QQ. She likes being anonymous(匿名), talking to people who do not know about her famous family and her rich life. She uses the name Linda on QQ and has made a lot of friends who she keeps in touch with quite often.

Last year Jean made a very special friend on QQ. His name was David and lived in San Francisco. David was full of stories and jokes. He and Jean had a common interest in rock music and modern dance. So it always took them hours to talk happily on QQ and sometimes they even forgot their time. Of course, they wanted to know more about each other. David sent a picture of himself: He was a tall, good looking young man with big, happy smile. As time went by, they became good friends and often sent cards and small things to each other.

When Jean’s father told her that he was going on a business trip to San Francisco, she asked him to let her go with him so that she could give David a surprise for his birthday.
