Are the lives of city kids the same as those in villages? In lots of ways, they are very different.  But what are the differences?
Hu Peng and his four friends decided to find them out.  Earlier this month, they went to live for a week at Huagui Village near Xishui.  They went door to door there and asked kids there lots of questions.  They wanted to learn more about village kids’ everyday lives, so they asked questions like these: Do your parents teach you how to do housework? How much money do you usually spend on dinner? What would you do if a thief comes into your houses? They also asked 150 city kids the same question.
On April 12, the team gave a report to their class.  They told about lots of differences between children’s lives in cities and those in villages.  The biggest difference is independence.  Hu’s team say that more than 60 percent of city kids can’t do much housework, but more than 80 percent of village kids can care for themselves.
City kids told Hu they cared about school a lot, and they had no time to wash clothes or make their beds.  Village kids said they helped their parents with a lot: they cook, clean houses and feed farm animals, Hu’s team also saw that village kids had less pocket money.  Many never use computers.  They play in rivers or on mountains.  Some don’t really like to make new friends.
Hu’s team said their trip gave them more self-confidence(自信心) because they were doing something by them-selves.  But it also worried them a bit because they saw they still had a lot to learn.  “When we grow up, our parents can’t take care of us,” Hu said.  “We have to learn to take care of ourselves. ”

In a school some trouble was caused by the students, who were naughty(调皮的)and didn’t follow the school rules. They often fought with each other and they didn’t f 1.  each other. One day a new teacher came to this school. When he heard that, he came up w 2.   a good idea. He told each of his students to b 3.   a clear plastic bag and a bag of potatoes to school. For every person they didn’t want to forgive in their lives, they chose a potato, wrote the person’s name on it, and put it in the plastic bag.

Some of their bags were very h  4.  . They were then told to carry this bag with them e 5.  for one week. They would put it beside their bed at night, on the seat when they s6.  in a car or on a bus, and next to their desk at school. Days of carrying the bags a  7.   with them made students get to know what a weight they were carrying in their minds. And they had to pay so much attention to it all the time t  8.   they didn’t forget it or leave it in embarrassing places. As time p  9.  by, the potatoes went bad and made people feel sick.

Too often we think of tolerance(容忍)as a gift to other people, and it clearly is for ourselves! If we choose to keep our sadness and hatred (仇恨) in our hearts, we will have to carry them around all our lives. After that, the students got on w 10.   with each other and didn’t fight any more. Learn to forgive, and you will be happier at the same time.
