“If he doesn’t call me, I’m going to die!”

That’s a pretty normal feeling. It means you are “in love” ---kind of. It’s puppy love (早恋、初恋)，not real love--- not true love, yet.

Puppy love is common among students all over the world. In the West, people think puppy love is a healthy part of a teenager’s life. 1.In China, parents and teachers think it is a problem.

Puppy love is beautiful. It’s cool to love someone, or be loved by someone else instead of your mother or your dog. It can make you a better person. 2.You will know how to use your love to help other people.

If you find yourself “in love”, it’s OK, but …wait! 3.现在你有许多重要的事情要做。Think of these questions: Will you still love him or her ten years later? Do you have enough education to find a good job and live a happy life with the person you love in the future? What would you do if you found someone better than him or her? I bet (打赌) you are not sure of these answers. Why? 4. 因为你太小还不懂真爱。

5.True love will come when you grow up. Now, you should try to be the best person you can be, and do the very best you can. That means doing well at school and being a good son or daughter first.

A very old lady won a million dollars in a lottery(彩票). Her son and her husband heard the news on the radio.
“How are we going to tell your mother?” the man asked. “The news might kill her!”
“That’s true,” the son said. “Perhaps we’d better speak to her doctor about it. He’ll know how to bring her the news gently.”
They told the old lady’s doctor about this.
“I’m glad you told me, ” he said “A shock(震惊), even a happy one, could give her a heart attack, leave it to me. I’ll find a way of bringing the news to her.”
The doctor thought about the problem for several days, then decided what he would say.
He called on the old lady and sat by her. He took her hand in his.
“Let’s play a game, my dear,” he said. “‘Let’s pretend(假装)’ game.”
“Oh, yes, ” the old lady said. “I love ‘Let’s pretend’ game.”
“Good, I’ll ask you a question first, ” the doctor said, “Then you can ask me one.”
He pretended to think for a few minutes. Then he said, “Tell me, what would you do if you won a million dollars in the lottery?”
“Oh, that’s an easy one,” the old lady said, “I’d give most of it to you, doctor, because you have been so good to me all these years, doctor!” But the doctor was now lying on the floor. He had died of shock.
