On June 28, my parents celebrated 70 years of marriage. Mum and Dad live in Calve. They have been through years of hard work and good times always supporting each other.
As a child, I remember my parents working side by side for spring, fall, winter, and summer cleaning or working in the yard, or painting, and wallpapering.
My parents bought a house in Eimont. They never believed they’d be able to own their own home, and to them, it was their castle. They worked hard to decorate it and kept it looking beautiful. They taught us to work hard and to enjoy everything we had.
Mom likes everything-sightseeing, clubs, anything. And everything Dad, even today, can't understand why she always wants to go out! Mom is still active with the Red Hatters women's group and her gardening club. Dad spoils her by taking care of the house, but also watches a lot of baseball and does jigsaw puzzles.
The key to their successful marriage is that they respect each other. With the help of my brother, they also stay current with new technology, Their latest acquisition is an iPad.
My brother, who is 67, and I (now 69),have always known we are lucky to have such great parents. They have shown us what love is, what hard work is, and what respect is all about.
My daughter and I try to see them almost every weekend when we play cards together and catch up on the week's news.
My parents are the glue that holds our whole family together, making holidays and ordinary days special to us all.
I know we are lucky to have them both, I even save all of their voice-mail messages, just so I'll have their voice to hear when they are not here, But Mom keeps telling us all she's certainly going to live to be 100. So we will have a few more holidays, birthdays, and memories to experience.

Today's teens have grown up online. They make friends online. They do homework online. And surely they get their news online. But because they are so comfortable with the Internet, they seldom question the news stories online and pass along to their friends.
Now William Colglazier, a history teacher at a high school in America, is teaching his students how to think critically(批判性地) about online information and recognize(识别) a fake(假的) news story.
His idea came from a study on people's online reasoning(推理) at Stanford University. The study found that young people lack(缺少) ability to reason about the information on the Internet Most middle school students in the study could not tell the difference between an advertisement and a news story, and high school and college students fully trusted the websites ending in ".org".
The good news is that，according to Colglazier, once teens realize they've been cheated, they have strong will to tell truth from lies. "But they need some advice on how to find evidence(证据) and how to recognize when others use poor argumentation(论据)," he said. Some of the advice that Colglazier offers his students include moving off the site to find more information about the site, the writer's motivations(动机) and the organization behind the news story.
Colglazier shared some of his course with other teens in Teen Vogue, a famous magazine. He hopes more kids would take away some knowledge about thinking critically when they read news online. "The Internet is both beautiful and ugly," he said. "If people cannot tell real news from fake news, the results can be frightening."

Dreams
"Dreams(梦) may be more important than sleep. We all need to dream," some scientists say.
Dreams take up about one quarter of our sleeping time. People have several dreams each night. Dreams are like short films. They are usually in colour. Some dreams are like old films. They come to us over and over again. That maybe because the dreamer is worrying about something. Dreaming maybe a way of trying to find an answer.
Some people get new ideas about their work from dreams. They may have been thinking about their work all day. These thoughts can carry over into dreams.
Sometimes we wake up with a good feeling from a dream. But often we can't remember the dream. Dreams can disappear(消失) quickly from memory(记忆).
Too much dreaming can be harmful(有害的). The more we sleep, the longer we dream. The mind is hard at work when we dream. That is why we may have a long sleep and still wake up tired.
1.It may be less important to sleep than to .
A.think B.dream C.work D.study
