I'm in trouble. Last week，we had a football match，and we lost.We played well，but one teammate didn't do his best，I think.It was like he wasn't even on the court!Disappointed by his behaviour，I said all this to my best friend.But he told everyone else what I'd said.I'm really angry with my friend- what should I say to him？And should I say anything at all to my teammate？ |

Reply There is an old American saying， "Loose lips sink ships. "This means that if you speak too much about something，especially to people who you don't know so well，it'll cause all kinds of trouble.Maybe now you're in this situation.Forget all these unhappy things. Like 13 |

Reply Perhaps most importantly，think about your own behaviour.When filled with anger，you would say whatever comes to your mind.You might hurt others.Take a deep breath，calm down，and always remember：think first，speak later. Like 11 |

Reply In my view（观点），you should do what your parents ask.They're much older than you and you should respect them.It's their house you live in and their money you spend! Like 10 |

Reply Here's what you need to do.First，apologise to your teammate.Have a chat with him，and tell him directly and honestly that you were talking without thinking.Then tell your friend you're angry with him for repeating what you said and making the situation worse，but you hope your friendship will move on.

Have you ever bought something and then changed your mind？For Alison Jenson，15，this used to happen several times a week.Alison was a shopaholic.She just couldn't stop shopping and she loved special offers.
Alison's bedroom is full of stuff. "I've been to every shop in Birmingham，I think， "says Alison.She picks up some earrings.The labels are still on them. "These were half price， "she says. "I've never worn them. "Alison's problem wasn't just jewellery.She also bought a lot of clothes，though not many shoes，because they were usually too expensive.She has also bought lots of other small things - like 20 new covers for her phone.She hasn't used any of them.
According to experts，we all feel excited after we buy something new.For shopaholics，it's a little different.Soon after they buy something，they think they've made a mistake and start to feel unhappy.So they buy themselves something else to feel happier.
Psychologists （心理学家）first described the problems of shopaholics in 1915.However，there was very little research on the subject until recently.Now，doctors think thousands of people suffer from the problem，and the situation is getting worse.There are also more teenage shopaholics now，although most young people don't have enough money to go shopping very regularly.
Alison knew she had a problem. "I often bought something every day.Usually it was something small，but I just needed to buy it， "she says. "I spent money that I got for my birthday，and when I was short of cash，I borrowed money from friends or my parents.When I couldn't go shopping，I felt anxious.Then one day，my parents just looked at all the stuff in my room and said，'This is crazy!' I knew theywere right. "I needed some big changes in my life.
Alison now gets help with her problem and feels she has changed.She no longer thinks she's a shopaholic. "When I want to buy something in a shop，I ask myself two questions， "she says. "Do I need it？Can I afford it？The answer to both questions is usually 'no'，so I walk away.It's great!"

Have you ever entered a tropical rainforest（热带雨林）？Rainforests make up only a small part of the Earth's surface，about six percent，but there are more kinds of tees than any other area in the whole world.
Tropical rainforests are in Africa，Asia，Central and South America，Australia，and on the Pacific islands.The largest tropical rainforest is the Amazon（亚马逊）Rainforest in South America，which covers 1.2 billion acres，or almost five million square kilometres.The second largest rainforest is in Western Africa.
Rainforests provide us with many things.In fact，the Amazon Rainforest is the "lungs of our planet" because it produces 20%of the world's oxygen （氧气）.One fifth of the world's fresh water is also found in the Amazon Rainforest.Furthermore，one half of the world's species of animals，plants and insects live in the Earth's rainforests.80% of the food we eat first grew in the rainforest.25%of the drugs we take when we are sick are made of plants that grow only in rainforests.Some of these drugs are even used to fight and cure cancer.
There are four different levels of trees in a rainforest.The forest floor is the lowest layer full of animal life and receives the least amount of light.The under storey is the dark，cool environment under the leaves but over the ground.The canopy layer is the upper parts of most of the trees.The emergent layer contains a small number of very tall trees.
