The ant and the grasshopper
While a grasshopper was talking it easy in the shade on a hot summer’s day, an ant struggled in the sun with a grain of rice that he was carrying out to his nest. “Hey, Mister Ant”, the grasshopper said. “Why don’t you take it easy, like me? You can work tomorrow?”. The ant paused. “I’m saving up food now for the cold winter ahead, and if you know what’s good for you, you’ll do the same”, he said. Three or four months later, winter came and it was very cold. While the ant was snug in his nest, the starving grasshopper shivered under a pile of dead leaves and wished that he’d paid attention to the ant’s advice.

TV Addiction
 The amount of time people spend watching television is astonishing. On average, individuals in the industrialized world devote three hours a day to the pursuit – fully half of their leisure time, and more than on any single activity save work and sleep. At this rate, someone who lives to 75 would spend nine years in front of the tube. To some commentators, this devotion means simply that people enjoy TV and make a conscious decision to watch it. But if that is the whole story, why do so many people experience misgivings about how much they view?

 What are the main reasons for such a high rate of teen pregnancy? “We bombard kids with sexual messages, but we don’t teach them how to process them”, says Susan Power, a director at Planned Parenthood in Lincoln. “We don’t teach kids to decipher that advertisers are using sex to sell cars, perfume, pineapple.”
 The influences on adolescents are powerful and present everywhere: movies, advertising, music, group pressure. The girls face life with a wild variety of characteristics that don’t match: ignorance, bravado, curiosity, false ideas of invulnerability. The reasons for teen pregnancy go on. Many teen mothers are children of teen mothers. Alcohol and drugs undermine the ability to make clear decisions. Older boys can charm or dominate: over half the males responsible for teens births are 20 or older . Early sexual abuse limits the capacity to say no. And there is also the fear of losing love.

What’s a Fingerprint?
 Did you know that even before you were born you had tiny fingerprints or lines on the tips of your fingers? Nobody else in the world has exactly the same fingerprints on their fingers. In some cases, fingerprints have been used to find lost children or to catch a criminal who left a mark from their fingers at the time of a crime. You can’t always see your fingerprints but police and other experts have special equipment that helps fingerprints show up even when they were invisible before.
 When you were a baby, your fingers were a little small, so the hospital you were born at took your footprint instead. Even twins who look exactly alike have different fingerprints.

FIRST LOVE 
 Theoretically first love can happen in any age or not happen at all. But most people had fallen in love for the first time when they were teenagers. That exciting new experience most of us remember very well during all our life. For an adult his/her own high school problems and the problems of their children seem very funny, silly and simple especially compared with all the difficulties of adult life. Somehow we forget how tragic and full of drama life and relationships were then in our adolescence.
 When a teenager falls in love and it happens for the first time he/she feels all it’s ups and downs for the first time. In that age we mostly enjoy ourselves and study the new emotions inside rather show than interest for the inner world of our first boy/girlfriend. 
 The relationships beween two sexes will interest and trouble us during all our future life but these first steps are always the most difficult and for some of us turn to be very painful. A teenager has a growing and changing body that he/she hasn’t started 
to understand yet and a delicate soul which is so easy to hurt.

 ENDLESS WINTER 
 The Tamburra, which is in the Philippines, erupted in 1815 creating a cloud of dust that blanketed more than half of the earth’s sky for over a year. The eruption hurted between 50 to 100 cubic miles of soil, minerals, and soot into the air. This fantastic amount of material is equivalent to removing 2 feet from the entire surface of Texas.
 The effects of that catastrophe were felt thousands of Miles away. In New England, for example, it snowed in June, and frost killed crops in July, August, and September. During that Summer, many sheep, which are usually shorn in the warmer months, died because of freezing temperatures. Thousands of migrating birds lost their way and many were killed by the snow.
 Between the spring of 1816 and the spring of 1817 part of the world seemed to be locked in perpetual winter. There was no summer in the northern hemisphere. As a result, the polar cap grew, glaciers advanced and the sea level dropped. Those were the coldest months ever recorded by men.

 THE GREAT WALL
 The Great Wall of China was built in the 3rd century B.C. to keep out the Mongolian invaders. It is 20 to 30 feet high and 15 to 25 feet wide at the top, with towers 60 feet high every few hundred yards.
 The Wall runs 2,414 kilometers from Shankaikwan on the Yellow Sea to the borders of Kansu and Sinkiang in the west, crossing high mountains and deep valleys. Probably more than 500,000 men worked in the construction of the Wall.
 Considered one of the seven wonders ofthe world, the Wall was skillfully built with brick and Stone and is still in an excellent state of preservation.
 In the distant past all major cities in China had similar walls whose gates were closed at night to give the citizens protection against surprise attacks. However, that hasn’t kept the invaders out. China has been envied by her neighbors throughout history and many times those neighbors have invaded the country, seized the capital, and begun a new dynasty.
