Dear Li Hua，

Today I'd like to talk about something interesting．In UK，you can tell a lot about your friends by what they carry in their schoolbags--you may know what they like reading，and other things they like to do after school．

In the bags of middle school-age boys，you find hand held computer games，football magazines and playing cards．Girls usually have a book in their bag（maybe a romantic novel）and hair clips（发夹）．Girls and boys both often have an MP3，a mobile phone，and，of course，last night's homework! By looking in a friend's bag，you earl tell what kind of person they are．A clean and tidy bag shows an organized person．Someone with a bag full of textbooks and pens works hard．

British middle school-age children also have a locker（存储箱）at school．They store their books or sports things，such as a football or a tennis racket（网球拍）there．They use pictures to make the inside of their lockers beautiful．Maybe they have pictures of their favorite music or sports star，or photos of their friends．So just like their bag，their locker says a lot about the person．

How about things in China? Looking forward to your letter．

Yours，

Mike

Bad teeth，a heavier body．．．and now，weaker bones（骨头）．Recently American scientists have found another bad thing about cola--it's bad for our bones，especially women's bones．

Well，if cola is bad for us，how about energy drinks（功能饮料）? Energy drinks look cool．Their makers say they give you energy and make you better at sports．So，many students drink them before exams to help them stay awake．

But wait．To keep you awake，most energy drinks have a lot of caffeine（咖啡因）．They are like a strong cup of coffee or tea．If you drink a lot of them，Your heart will beat faster．You will feel nervous．You could also have sleeping problems and find it hard to live without them．Amanda Smith is a 16-year-old US junior high school student．She drinks one or more energy drinks every day．She started to do this a year ago before she danced．But now，Smith says，“I drink them whenever I feel weak or before a test．I cannot help drinking them．I find I'm addicted to them．”

It was the first day of school．I had a new classmate，a little old lady with a warm smile．She said，“Hi，handsome! I'm Rose．I'm 87 years old．Can I give you a hug（拥抱）?” I said heartily，“of course!”，“Why are you in college at such an age?” I asked．She joked，“I'm here to meet a rich husband，get married，have children，and then travel around．” “No，seriously，” I asked．“I always dreamed of having a college education．Now I'm getting one!” she told me．Over the year，Rose became an icon（偶像）．She easily made friends where she went．She loved to dress up and she enjoyed the attention from other students．At the end of the term we invited Rose to speak at our party．I’ll  never forget what she taught us．

“We do not stop playing because we are old；we grow old because we stop playing．Here are the secrets of staying young．You have to laugh and find humor（幽默）every day．You've got to have a dream．When you lose your dreams，you die!” she said．“There is a big difference between growing old and growing up．Anybody can grow old．That doesn't take any talent（天赋）or ability，”she added．“But to grow up，you have to find the chance in change．Have no regrets（后悔）．We usually don’t have regrets for what we did，but rather for things we did not do．”
