Teens will finally grow up some day， leaving their parents and facing the challenges in life alone， so they should learn basic life skills and form good working habits．
The government has been trying to pay attention to the importance of hardworking spirit education（劳动教育）．But this has been overlooked in recent years． Many teens do not value the importance of working hard． There is a teenager girl named Nancy， she never helps out around the house． Once her mother was on vacation for a week，leaving her alone at home． When her mother came home from vacation ，she could not find a clean dish or a clean shirt．
Schools play an important role in teaching students about the value of working hard．Primary and middle schools should provide students with hardworking spirit courses every week． To our joy，some schools have provided each class with a piece of field to plant their favorite vegetables． For example， No.38 Middle School in Hefei， set up a 500﹣square﹣meter farm on an open platform （露天平台）of their teaching building． Each class are asked to grow and pick vegetables there．
Parents should also encourage children to learn how to do chores at home． Teens should master one or two life skills every year．These skills can include cooking， washing their own clothes and tiding their rooms． The basic skills may help teens to solve the problems they will meet in the future．

Do you know what Oscar is? When did it start? Maybe you can find the background of the awards in the following passage.
The awards started in 1929. Their full title is “The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Awards”. The Academy is a group of people who have worked in the film industry for many years. They decide who will receive the awards. The awards are often referred to as the “Oscar”. This is a nickname given to the awards by a lady called Margaret Herrick. She was once the director of the Academy and she once said that the little gold statue(雕像) reminded her of her uncle Oscar!
The Oscar is always an exciting event. Each year, at least one unusual thing happens. When the Italian actor and director Roberto Benigni won an Oscar for best foreign film, he danced on stage! When Gwyneth Paltrow, the star of Shakespeare in Love won the Oscar for best actress, she could not make her acceptance speech because she was crying so much with happiness!
In 1987, Roberto Benigni won the award for best director for a film about the last emperor of China. Since then, Chinese film and actors have started to make an impact at the award. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was a huge success and it won the award for best foreign language film in 2001. It also won several technical awards for its amazing “flying” people. We expect to see more awards for Chinese film in the near future.
It’s time for the Oscar again. Once more, the stars will dress up in their finest and go to Kodak Theater.
