Nowadays，cell phones are part of our lives．Many people have cell phones．They can help us easily find people anywhere at any time．However，using cell phones too often may cause cancer（癌症）．It's reported that people who use a cell phone for 10years or more may get brain cancer．

The suggestions below may help you reduce（减少） the risk of cancer：

When using your cell phone，try to keep it away from your body as much as possible．Don't put it on the bedside table when you go to sleep．

When you're on the cell phone，use the speaker（扬声器）．In this way，you have just 1/100th of the contact（接触） with radiation you have when you hold it to your ear．An earphone is also a good idea．

Try to keep your conversations short．If you need to talk longer，use an ordinary phone instead．

Change ears when you're using your cell phone．Before putting it to your ear，wait until the person you are calling picks up the phone．

Your phone gives out radiation when you talk or send messages，but not when you're listening or getting messages．Listening more and talking less can lower the risk of cancer．

Do not use your cell phone when the signal（信号） is weak or when moving at a high speed，for example in a car or on a train．At high speeds your phone is trying to pick up signals，and this increases the radiation it gives out．

In the USA，each year，students take part in a kind of competition called the Science Olympiad．

It has a lot of different events．Students go there to show how much they know about the science of music，biology，chemistry and others．My best event is forestry．

The big day came at last!First，I went to watch the tower building competition．That's when students build small towers and put heavy things on top of it．They hope they can hold them up．One of my schoolmates was putting things on her tower．She was nervous，and in the end it was too heavy for her tower to hold it﹣﹣﹣it broke!I felt bad for her．

After lunch，I helped some teammates with their events．One was geography，and the other was history．I don't know much about those things，so I just watched my teammates do most of the work．

At last，it was time for my favorite event﹣﹣﹣﹣forestry．The rules were easy．We had to look at more than 40different kinds of leaves and find out which plants they were from．We also had to answer some questions about the uses of each leaf.1knew almost all of the leaves and could answer most of the questions．I had spent more than a month studying on the Internet to get ready．At the end，it was time for the awards（颁奖）．I was nervous，because the forestry awards were last．We won second place in the whole state!A nice man gave me a medal and smiled at me．

"Red envelope"fever has swept the country recently．Cash（现金）can be sent through electronic payments．Children can get more money than before．But everyone needs to understand something about money：where it comes from，how to save it and how to spend it wisely．Too many parents don't take time to teach their children about money，and as a result，many of those children don't know how to deal with money when they grow up．

When should parents begin teaching their children about money？Experts agree that it's never too early．The more children learn about money，the more wisely they will be able to deal with money as they grow older．To begin with，parents can teach kids how to count money．

Next，parents can teach kids how to save money．For example，a kid wants a new bicycle．Parents can teach them to save part of their pocket money for that bike，while still keeping some money for ice cream and movies．In this way they will begin to understand the meaning of saving．

Also it's never too early to teach children different ways to make money besides snatching （抢） red envelope．For example，they can wash cars，clean gardens，look after babies．Sit down with children and talk with them about some ways they could make money．You'll be surprised and glad at the effort they will begin making．

Teach children about money when they're young and their future will be brighter．

Let's clean up the ocean together．

We all know it's important to have dreams．However，to make the dream come true is not an easy thing．A young Dutch man named Boyan enjoys working hard to make his dreams come true．

When Boyan was 16，he went diving（潜水）in Greece．He was shocked to see more plastic bags than fish in the sea．The boy made up his mind to clean up the ocean．However，everyone told him that there was nothing he could do once plastic bags went into the ocean．The teenager didn't give up．He spent several months studying plastic pollution．Finally，he came up with a science project using floating barriers（漂浮的栅栏）to collect the waste．That is to say，instead of using nets and ships to collect the plastic bags，the barriers can make the plastic bags come together with the help of natural ocean currents（洋流） and winds．What's more，the collected plastic bags can be recycled and made into products or oil．

Boyan won prizes for the project，but that was not enough for him：he wanted to make it a reality（实现）．In 2013，he set up The Ocean Cleanup．Together with scientists，engineers and volunteers，the young man is working hard to clean up the ocean to make our world a better place．
