Young people and older people don't always agree. But in one special programme in New York State, adults and teenagers live together in a friendly way.

    Each summer 200 teenagers and 50 adults live together for eight weeks as members of a special work group. Everyone works several hours each day. They do so not just to keep busy but to find meaning and enjoyment in work. Some teenagers work in the woods or on the farms near the village. Some learn to make things like tables and chairs and build houses. The adults teach them these skills.

    There are several free hours each day. Weekends are free too. During the free hours some of the teenagers learn phototaking or painting. Each teenager chooses his own way to spend his free time.

    In this programme the teenagers and the adults make the rules together. If someone breaks a rule, the problem goes before the whole group. They talk about it and ask, "Why did it happen? What should we do about it?"

    One of the teenagers has this to say about his experience, "You stop thinking only about yourself. "

    There was a time when wearing sunglasses would be too cool for school students, but for pupils at a primary school in Australia, they are now an important part of the uniform. The move is for protecting young eyes from the sun's dangerous ultraviolet rays (紫外线), and education heads say they are considering making the plan at all state schools.

    The headmaster of Sydney's Arncliffe Public School, where sunglasses are now used for children from kindergarten to Grade 6, said they had no problems wearing the glasses on the playground. "The 'sunnies' as they are called in Australia, will soon become 'necessary things' for the pupils," Stephan Vrachas said. The education minister of New South Wales state said the government would consider making sunglasses used on all public school playgrounds.

    "It is conceivable that it might be good to wear sunglasses when they are playing in the sun," John Della Bosca told reporters. Experts said excessive exposure to the sun's ultraviolet rays, already blamed for skin cancers, could also cause cataracts (白内障), A specialist at Sydney Eye Hospital said. That wraparound glasses (宽边墨镜) were the best for eye protection and children should be encouraged to wear them from the age of three to four. "Sunglasses are particularly important in summer when ultraviolet exposure is up to five times higher than that in winter," said Con Petsoglou.

    When I was in a primary school, I argued with a boy in my class. I forget1the argument was about, but I will never forget the2I learned that day. I thought that I was right and he was wrong,3he thought that I was wrong and he was right. The teacher4to teach us a very important lesson. She brought us to the front of the classroom and asked him to stand by one side of her desk and me by5.On the middle of her desk was a large, round ball. I could6see that was black. She asked the boy what colour the ball was. "White," he answered.

    I couldn't7he said the ball was white, while it was obviously (明显地) black! Another argument started8us. This time it was about the9of the ball. The teacher told us to change the places and then asked me what colour the ball was. I answered, "White." It was a ball with10differently coloured sides, and from his side it was white. Only from my side it was11.
