What do we mean by responsibility? To put it simply, it is a duty to consider the consequences(结果,后果)of our actions. In other words, we have a duty to control our behavior.

When we are children, we have few responsibilities. Our parents look after us and we generally don't have to worry about food or shelter(居所). As we grow up, we gradually need to be responsible for more and more things. We learn how to make our own decisions and realize that we have moral duties. We have to be responsible for our lives.

We also have responsibilities that go beyond ourselves. Parents have the responsibility to look after their children. Beyond the family, people have a responsibility towards the community as a whole. It is responsible for us as a society to make this world a safe and pleasant place for everyone.

When we fail in our responsibilities, the consequences are most serious. Teenagers who stop their studies might make their own lives bad. Parents who are not caring for their own children properly, will put them in danger. By not following the traf?c rules, careless drivers kill more than a million people around the world every year. Certain professions in our society, such as police officers, present to protect the public, and often risk their own lives in order to do their duty. However, their efforts depend on the support of ordinary people. If we pay no attention to our own responsibilities, society will become dangerous.

Whether we are shouldering heavy responsibilities, like doctors or lots, or simply taking responsibility for our own learning as students, we will always be judged on how well we perform our duties. For this reason, the hardest part of acting responsibly is admitting ( 承认 ) that we failed or that we made a mistake. Let's say you visit your friend's house and accidentally make an expensive teapot broken while your friend is in another room. The honest thing to do is of course to admit and apologize. Because this requires courage, some people take another way: they pretend that nothing happened. Perhaps a broken teapot might not be such a big deal, but in any given situation, we can choose to act responsibly.

Responsibilities are an important part of life since our actions have consequences. If everyone considered how their actions would affect( 影 响 )themselves and other people, the world would be a better place.

Gossip means talking about other people's lives, which may be unkind or not true.

"We are going to do a gossip column (专栏) for the school newspaper," Emily said. "We take our notebooks whenever we go and write down everything happening around us."

"I already have _______ said, Austin, "I heard Lucy saying that she saw Julia's new haircut and it makes her look like a funny watermelon."

Jessica laughed. "I had _______ that, too."

This gossip-column idea was making _______ very uncomfortable. "Hold on," I said. "Don't you think kids will feel terrible to have that spread in the school?"

Emily shrugged (耸肩) . "Maybe, _______ people love gossip."

"Is that a good _______ to do it, though?" I said.

"Well, we are _______ reporting what we see and hear." said Jessica.

Austin cut in. "_______, I think Arizona was right. Gossip would make people feel bad."

Jessica said, "So does anyone have an idea for a different column?"

Emily suggested, "What if we do a friendly gossip column instead?"

"Good idea!" said Austin.

And that's exactly what we did then. We wrote down the good things or stories we saw. Here are a few good ones in our _______: Kate was seen picking up other people's rubbish and throwing it into the garbage bin. And Zoe was very _______ explaining a math problem to a classmate.

So, dear friends, "If you can't ________ anything nice, give up spreading the gossip." Even better, spread the word about the kind things people are doing.
