19．Dear Editor，
I'm confused these days．We're taught at home and at school that voilence（暴力） is bad．For example，last week，my friend and I were playing at the beach．We found a really beautiful shell．My friend picked it up，but I saw it first，and I said it was mine．He said no，it was his．I really want the shell，and I even thought about hitting him，that's how angry I was．
Now should that be right？No!I shouldn't use voilence．I should talk with my friend instead，and solve that．My parents and teachers often tell me that using voilence is the least civilized（文明）way to solve problems．So，if adults had a disagreement，and they used voilence toward each other in order to win，is it all right？No!
Now，I'm confused．When two countries disagree，they often voilence．They fight a war．Using voilenve is not okey at home，at school or in your country but okey between two countries，why？
A war is extreme voilence．So not only soldiers but citizens（公民），including small children and babies have been killed and injured because of wars．Adults say they are fighting wars in order to solve problems and make peace．But can you really"make peace"by using voilence and killing so many people？
I don't think that bombs and missiles（炸弹和导弹）can reach people's hearts and change them．Bombs and missiles can't create love and caring，and that's what we need in the world．Why can't they use their wisdom（智慧）and talk it over？
Yours，
Joshua

We are proud to call ourselves the"descendants （传人）of the dragon"．In Chinese，"excellent"people are often called"dragons"．
A number of Chinese sayings and idioms talk about dragons，for example，"Hoping one's child will become a dragon，"which means hoping he or she will be successful．
It is said that people born in the Year of the Dragon have certain characteristics．They are creative，confident，brave and quick-tempered．There are some famous"dragons"who have done  excellent things，for example，the great man Deng Xiacping，the famous businessman Li Jiacbeng and the movie star Zhao Wei．They are all very successful．
There are also some traditional festivals about dragons in China，such as Dragon Head-Raising Day and Dragon Boat Festival．We have different kinds of activities to celebrate them．These two festivals come every year，but the Year of the Dragon comes every twelve years．

16．Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents，however，it is not true．Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages．If it's hard for you to communicate with your parents，don't worry about it．Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap （消除代沟）．
Don't argue （争辩） with your parents．Don't get to your parents when you are angry．Your parents probably won't consider your ideas if you are shouting at them．And you can't express yourself well if you are angry．Go someplace to cool off．Make sure you understand why you are unhappy．Then think about what you want to say to your parents．If you don't think you can speak to them at the moment，try writing a letter．
Try to reach a compromise （和解）．Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something．You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other．Michael's mother didn't agree with him about buying a motorcycle．They argued over it．But they finally came to a compromise．Michael bought the motorcycle，but only drove it on certain days．
Of course，your parents might refuse to compromise on something．In these situations，it is especially important to show love and respect （尊敬） to them．Showing respect will keep your relationship strong．
Talk about your values．The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own．Tell your parents what you care about，and why．Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life．
A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person．It is worth having a try!

3．In the US，people prefer waiting for a table to sitting with people they don't know．If you are sitting at a table with people you don't know，it is impolite to light up a cigarette without asking if it will disturb them．
At American restaurants and coffee shops you are usually served tap water（自来水）before you order．You may find the bread and butter is free，and if you order coffee，you may get a free refill（续添）．
Most cities and towns have no rules about opening and closing time for stores or restaurants，though they usually make rules for bars．Especially in large cities，stores may be open 24hours a day．
Serving（份量）in restaurants is often large，too large for many people．If you can't finish your meal but would like to enjoy the food later，ask your waitress or waiter for a"doggie bag"．It may have a picture of a dog on it，but everybody knows you're taking the food for yourself．
Supper and dinner are both words for the evening meal．Some people have"Sunday dinner"．This is an especially big noon meal．
Tips（小费）are not usually added to the check．They are not included in the price of the meal，either．A tip of about 15% is expected and you should leave it on the table when you leave．In some restaurants，a check is brought on a plate and you put your money there．Then the waiter or waitress brings you your change（零钱）．

20．Do you want to live a happier，less stressful life？Try laughing for no reason at all．That's how thousands of people start their day at Laughter Clubs around the world．
The first Laughter Clubs was started in Mumbai，India，in 1995，by Dr Madan Kataria．"Children laugh about 300times a day．Adults laugh between 7and 15times a day，"says Dr Kataria．"Everyone's naturally good at laughing-it's the universal（共同的） language．"There are now more than 500Laughter Clubs India and over 1，300worldwide．
Many doctors are also interested in the effects of laughter on our health．According to a 5-year study at the UCLS School of Medicine in California，with laughing there is less stress in the body．Laughter improves our health against illness by about 40%．
So what happens at a Laughter Club？I went along to the nearest club in the south of London to find out．I was quite nervous at the beginning of strangers，and I was worried about looking stupid．Our laughter teacher told us to clap our hands（拍手） and say"ho ho ho，ha ha ha"while looking at each other．Although we couldn't tell the differences between fake laughter and real laughter，they still produced the same healthy effects．
Surprisingly，it worked!After ten minutes，everybody there was laughing for real and some people just couldn't stop!At the end of the class I was shocked by how relaxed and comfortable I felt．So if you're under stress，then start laughing．
