According to Claire Cain Miller in “Wintry Weather Sends Shoppers Online,” she said that because of the winter storms, consumers bought things on the Internet. Despite the recession, there are more and more people shopping online. And the rates grow up rapidly.

I think why people like to go shopping online is that it saves a lot of time and money. Merchandizes on the Internet are usually cheaper than in the market conditions, so consumers are willing to take a risk to buy them. Moreover, we don’t have to go out to buy goods. For example, if we are lazy or the weather is bad, we can just stay home and click the keyboard and mouse to go shopping online.

Although shopping on the Internet is convenient, we should be care for some conditions. There are thousands of people deceived by the Internet scam clans. They maybe receive your money but not deliver you your merchandizes; or they maybe instruct you to flow your money into their account. Actually, their tricks are various, and they devise new tricks continually. All we can do is make our eyes bright and be careful. Another condition is that the merchandizes are not the same as we saw on the Internet. For most sellers, they will agree to exchange a new one with you. However, there are still some bad sellers who don’t agree to exchange the merchandizes we bought. To the kind of condition, most buyers will choose to forget it. To sum up, we have to think carefully before we buy the merchandizes, which we have not seen personally yet. (268words)

According to Roni Caryn Rabin in “Teen Smoking Rates Decline,” the smoking rates of high-school students dropped down from 13.6% last year to 12.6% this year. Furthermore, more and more adolescents think of smoking as a dirty habit and say they disapproved of smoking. It means that more and more adolescents’ concept changed.

I think it is an enormous change, because it is the first time that smoking rates dropped down greatly. The reporter said that for years and years, many people think that smoking can make them sexy and attractive to the opposite sex. Isn’t it ridiculous? Having some cigarettes a day can let you have cancer a few years latter. It is obviously not beneficial. Moreover, smoking harms not only yourself but your family, friends and everyone around you. According to many researches, secondhand smoking makes us have more opportunity to have the lung cancer. Smoking is not sexy! I’ve asked lots of my friends about smoking. They all said that smoke is bad to smell; and the garbage of cigarettes is also a big problem to the society.

To prevent adolescents from cigarettes, governments should take some policies. For example, forbid minority buying cigarettes; plane more public places which can’t allow smoking. Schools and parents should also teach their students and children not to smoke. Decreasing the smoking rates needs everyone’s effort. Building an environment without smoke is our obligation.

According to Alice Park in “Laugh and the World Laughs Too: Happiness is contagious,” he pointed out that if you are always happy, you must happy friends. It means the happiness is contagious. Furthermore, our good mood can influence other people. They can feel happy, too.

I think being a happy man can not only bring happiness to other people, but also do we good. According to some researches, keeping in a good mood can prolong a life and keep us from some diseases. For a patient, if he or she keeps being happy, his or her disease can recover sooner than other patients in a bad mood. It sounds unbelievable, but I totally believe that. Because of our happiness, we maybe can change other’s bad mood into good mood.

Being unhappy will make others feel uncomfortable. Others will not be eager to get close to you, and they may even regard you as a weird man. Gradually, you’ll find that there’s nobody accompanying with you.

Being happy can let us have more positive attitude toward everything. We can be more optimistic than others, it really do good to our studies, work, career etc. We can have various thoughts about everything. Other people may be curious about why we can solve problems easily. They will never know the reason- Be happy. (221words)

According to Tiffany Sharples in “Study: Most Child Abuse Goes Unreported.” He pointed that there were many cases of children abuse neglected, and this phenomena is apparent in highly developed countries. Some people brought up some measures to solve the problem, and still another people thought out some recommendations for the country.

I think the governments of every country in the world should face and solve the serious problem. Every child is the most precious treasure in the world, and they are also every parent’s treasure. If some parents have problems taking care of their children, or having psychological problems, the government should take action to solve it. Otherwise, parents may do something harmful to their children, especially the minor parents. Governments and schools must teach people how to control their emotions. Children are not our toys to be worked off; however, they should be cherished. After all, children are the hope of every country.

Child abuse is really a severe problem. It will cause trauma in children’s heart. When children grow up, they maybe think it merited to beat or insult their own children. It will be a vicious circle. Protecting children is everyone’s responsibility. If you do harm to children, I think it cannot be forgave. (208words)

According to Joshua Alston in “Black Men and Suicide,” a black man committed suicide by overdosing on prescription medication as a populated chat room watched him via his live webcam. This report also told us some information about the rate of black men’s suicide, which is higher than men in general.

To watch a man or woman committing suicide on the internet is really the most horrible thing in the world. The black young man committed suicide on the internet, and let everyone watch that. I think it is sad and ridiculous. Life is the most precious thing in the world. Our parents gave us life and bred us up. How can we abandon it? Although we will face some obstacles in our life, what we should do is solve it and surpass it. Moreover, the internet is a public place. Everyone can search everything on the internet, including this suicide event. So it must have influence on some people, particularly on children. I think he wanted to express his despair and sadness, and he must want somebody to save him.

In my opinion, there is no problem can not be solved. Living in the world, we have to look at the bright side. If we meet some problems, we should find others’ help but not stand it alone. (220words)

According to AP/Mary Yamaguchi in “Greenpeace: Japanese Whalers Leave for Annual Hunt.” It said that a Japan’s whaling fleet had a clash with the protest ship, and the protest against the whaling catch.

I think it is cruel to catch up those loving whales. They also have their right to live in the world. Moreover, Japanese is so selfish, because they kill whales only for their desire for whale’s meat. Even though the amount of whales is becoming fewer, they still catch up whales by every means. It is unbelievable for me, because the whales are very huge, how do they catch them? They must use some means which we can’t imagine that. The Japanese not only didn’t admit their fault but also didn’t take methods to decrease the death rate of whales. They claimed that killing those whales was for research. Of course nobody believed that! How ridiculous it was! A lot of kinds of whales are facing extinction. If we keep killing them, they will become extinct sonly. Their extinction will influence a large numbers creature, because the world is based on the food chain. If the food chain was disturbed by humans, there will be more and more creatures becoming extinction. To be a conclusion, all we have to do is protect every creature from becoming extinction.

According to Alice Park in “Sex on TV Increases Teen Pregnancy, Says Report.” Reports revealed that the more sex and violence information showed on the TV or movies the higher pregnancy rates will be.

In my opinion, governments of the whole world countries should draw up a clear and definite law which can be a standard for TV programs and movies. For instance, The USA has formulated a classification standard for TV programs and movies. That is “General” Audiences” ” Parental Guidance Suggested” “Parents Strongly Cautioned” “Restricted” “No One 17 and Under admitted” Although there have been a standard, parents must pay attention to what children are watching, not only girls but also boys. Furthermore, parents also have to teach their children how to distinguish what they can watch from what they can’t; and tell them why some TV programs and movies they cannot watch. In this way, children would not be too curious about those sex or violent programs. In the other side, every TV and movie industry should obey the government’s policy, and stand in every parent’s shoes. After all, if there are not so many movies about sex and violence, the crime and pregnancy rates will not soar highly. I think there are strong relations between crime and pregnancy rate and the contents of TV shows and movies, so we must pay much attention to the problem. To sum up, the pure atmosphere of the society should be improved by all of us. (246 words)
