Seventeen-year-old Rivertown teenager, John Janson, was honoured at the Lifesaver Awards last night for carrying out lifesaving first aid on his neighbour after a shocking knife   36  .

    John was presented with his award at a ceremony which recognized the  37  of the ten people who have saved the life of others.

    John had been studying in his room when he heard  38  . When he and his father rushed outside, they    39    that Anne Slade, mother of three, had been stabbed（刺）   40    with a knife by her ex-boyfriend（前男友）. The man ran from the  41   and left Ms Slade lying in her front garden    42    very heavily. Her hands had almost been cut off.

    It was John’s quick    43    and knowledge of first aid that saved Ms Slade’s life.

John used these to dress the most severe   46    to Ms Slade’s hands. He slowed the bleeding by applying pressure to the wounds until the   47  and ambulance arrived.

    “I’m    48    of what I did but I was just doing what I had been    49   ,” John said.

John had taken part in the Young Lifesaver Scheme at his high school. When   50   John, Mr Alan Southerton, Director of the Young Lifesaver Scheme, said, “   51  is no doubt that John’s quick thinking and the first aid  52  that he had learned at school saved Ms Slade’s life. It shows that a simple knowledge of the first aid can make a real  53   .”

As a boy, Charles Robert Darwin collected anything that caught his interest: insects, coins and interesting stones. He was not very clever, but Darwin was good at doing the things that interested him.

     His father was a doctor, so Darwin was sent to Edinburgh to study medicine, and was planned to follow a medical career. But Charles found the lectures boring. Then his father sent him to Cambridge University to study to be a priest. While at Cambridge, Darwin’s interest in zoology and geography grew. Later he got a letter from Robert FitzRoy who was planning to make a voyage around the world on a ship, the Beagle. He wanted a naturalist to join the ship, and Darwin was recommended(推荐). That voyage was the start of Darwin’s great life.

     As the Beagle sailed around the world, Darwin began to wonder how life had developed on earth. He began to observe everything. After he was home, he set to work, getting his collection in order. His first great work The Zoology of the Beagle was well received, but he was slow to make public his ideas on the origin of life.

     Later Darwin and Wallace, another naturalist who had the same opinions as Darwin, produced a paper together. Darwin’s great book, On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection (《物种起源》) appeared. It attracted a storm. People thought that Darwin was saying they were descended from monkeys. What a shameful idea! Although most scientists agreed that Darwin was right, the Church was still so strong that Darwin never received any honors for his work.

    Afterwards, he published another great work, The Descent of Man. His health grew worse, but he still worked. “When I have to give up observation, I shall die,” he said. He was still working on 17, April, 1882. He was dead two days later.

Amusement parks make most of their money from admission fees paid by guests attending the park. Other sources include parking fees, food and drink sales and souvenirs. Practically all amusement parks operate using one of two admission principles:

When Emily Beardmore first heard that a trip was being planned by the biology class at Windsor High School, she thought about how much fun it would be.

“I thought it would be a really good experience to go with other friends and teachers to another country in an environment other than a vacation environment,” the 10- year-old girl said.

A few months later, Emily got her chance when she and 14 of her classmates, along with biology teacher Tamara Pennington went to Costa Rica for eight days in late May.

Kids’health: Four steps for fighting stress

Everybody gets stressed from time to time.  1.    Some ways of dealing with stress—like screaming or hitting someone—don’t solve much. But other ways, like talking to someone you trust, can lead you to solving your problem or at least feeling better.

Try taking these four steps the next time you are stressed:

(1)    Get support. When you need help, reach out to the people who care about you. Talk to a trusted adult, such as a parent or other relatives. 2.    They might have had similar problems, such as dealing with a test, or the death of a beloved pet.

(2)    Don’t take it out on yourself. Sometimes when kids are stressed and upset they take it out on themselves. Oh, dear, that’s not a good idea. Remember that there are always people to help you. Don’t take it out on yourself.   3.

(3)    Try to solve the problem. After you’re calm and you have support from adults and friends, it’s time to get down to business.   4.   Even if you can’t solve it all, you can solve a piece of it.

(4)    Be positive. Most stress is temporary (暂时的). Remember stress does go away, especially when you figure out the problem and start working on solving it.

These steps aren’t magic, but they do work. And if you can stay positive as you make your way through a tough time, you’ll help yourself feel better even faster5.     

A. Ask for a helping hand to get you through the tough situation.

B. Notice your friends’ feelings and find a way to help them.

C. Different people feel stress in different ways.

D. Ah, it feels so good when the stress is gone.

E. You need to figure out what the problem is.

F. And don’t forget about your friends.

G. Then, find a way to calm down.

When you are traveling abroad, it is importance to follow the customs of the country you are visiting. If you are invited to a home in Britain, here is some advices. As soon as you invited, it is good manners to refuse and accept the invitation, either by writing or by telephoning. When you will go to the party, it is polite to arrive at on time. It is good manners to shake hand with your host and the other guests. You can take a present with you if you like, possible a bottle of wine, a box of chocolates or some flowers. However, it was not bad manners to take nothing. It is not polite to stay too late before the other guests have gone. Of course, it is good manners to write or telephone a day or two to thank your host.
