Sweetest Day is celebrated on the third Saturday in October as a day to make someone happy. It is an occasion which offers all of us an opportunity to remember not only the sick, the aged, and children who have lost their parents, but also friends, workmates, relatives and neighbors whose helpfulness and kindness we have enjoyed.

Over 60 years ago, when a Cleveland man noticed that some people, such as children who lost their parents and patients who lay in bed, too often felt forgotten and neglected, he developed in his mind the idea of showing them that they were remembered. He did this by giving them small gifts. With the help of his friends and neighbors, he gave those people small gifts on a Saturday in October. During the years that followed, other Clevelanders began to take part in the celebration, which came to be called "Sweetest Day". Over time, the Sweetest Day idea of spreading cheer to the poor, the sick and children who had lost their parents was broadened to include everyone, and became an occasion for remembering others with a kind act or a small gift. Soon the idea spread to other cities all over the USA.

Sweetest Day is not based on any single group's religious beliefs or on a family relationship. It is a reminder that a thoughtful word or deed enriches life and gives it meaning. Because for many people remembering takes the form of gift giving, Sweetest Day offers us the opportunity to show others that we care, in a positive way.

What is an accent? An accent is a flavoring to you that influences the sounds of words and sentences. In Birmingham you might hear "lake" sounding close to "like", and in Ireland you might hear "this" sounding close to "diss".

Accents are related to social group. Everyone has an accent, and for every accent there are groups of people who react badly to it. These reactions arc the result of prejudice — an unreasoned jumping to conclusions.

Everybody has prejudices about accents. I certainly do. I have held prejudices about other people's accents. But over the years，my experience of working with people from all kinds of backgrounds has led me to give up these prejudices. However, I still have prejudices that I find difficult to control.

Studies tell us that no accent is better than any other. But the reality is that many people judge others according to accents. Jacob, Member of Parliament, remembers when he first stood unsuccessfully for election in Fife, Scotland, "I gradually realized that whatever I happened to be speaking about, the number of voters in my favor dropped as soon as I opened my mouth."

And sonic people change their accents to sound more refined when talking to people outside their circle of family and friends.

Sky News ran a report recently in which an 18-year-old woman was trying to sound less posh, that is speaking non-standard English, because she didn't like the strangers telling her that she must be rich and from a famous family.

Lastly, it's worth being reminded that people can have an accent and still be recognized.

A few years ago, my sister-in-law started to feel concerned about her teenage daughter. What was she doing after school? Where was she spending her time? My niece was an excellent student, and took part in all kinds of after-class activities. Even so, her mom decided to put a tracking app(跟踪应用程序)on the kid's phone.

At first, this made my sister-in-law "feel better". Then the good situation suddenly ended. She recalled, "I found out that she was someplace that she said she wasn't. I went out in the middle of the night and found her walking without shoes in the middle of the street with some friends." Things went quickly downhill for the mother and the daughter after that.

With 73 % of teens having their own smart phones now, according to a 2015 Pew study, more and more of their parents are facing the question: To watch or not ?

Ana Homayoun, founder of Green Ivy Educational Consulting, has advised many parents and their kids about this. "I've found teens are more acceptable to tracking apps when it is included as part of a family agreement to improve safety than when it is placed as a secret tool to watch them," she said.

Mark Bell, a father of a teenage girl, said, "We don't have tracking apps, but we have set some ground rules that my daughter must follow in exchange for us providing a smart phone," he said. For example, his daughter must "friend" him on social media so that he can read posts, and must share all passwords.

When you're trying to build trust, you need to create an environment that encourages it. So, to win their trust, you always need to be straight with your children. "Parents must let children know how and when they'll be watching them," said Doctor Pauleh Weigle. If they're not open about it, he warns, it can "greatly damage the parent and child relationship".

Sometimes, you do not finish drinking your glass of water before you go to bed.But have you ever wondered if it is still safe to drink?

"If you have clean water in a clean glass, you're fine to drink it for a day or two," Kellogg Schwab from the Johns Hopkins University Water Institute in the US told Time.

That's because after about 12 hours, the carbon dioxide in the air reacts with the water in your glass, slightly lowering its PI I level.

Also, there might be more microorganisms in your water if you leave it out overnight. These microorganisms can stay on your glass.They can make you get sick more easily. But as long as you clean your glasses very often, this will not be a problem.

In countries like the US and UK. people often drink water directly from the tap.Most experts say that tap water has a shelf life of six months, according to Zane Satterfield from West Virginia University. US. After six months, there is less chlorine in the water and bacteria start to grow. You'd better not drink the water otherwise you may get sick.

What about plastic water bottles?If you leave a bottle of water under the sun or in a car for a long period of time, the plastic produces a chemical called BPA. This chemical can cause heart disease arid cancer.

A. Schwab said people should be careful with them.

B. But you may find that it tastes strange.

C. It is safe for you to drink the water later.

D. Some people prefer to drink water from rivers

E. You might want to drink it the next morning.

F. Microorganisms grow more quickly at room temperature

G. This is Ok—however, tap water cannot be stored for a long time.

High school students have a lot more power than they may realize.

Belscher 1 a dollar on the floor when having his English class. When the school day 2, Belscher walked back to the classroom. He could easily have 3 it, for the wrinkled (皱巴巴的) bill was still there. 4, he brought the old bill to his English teacher, —Mattison.

Mattison was a little 5 he'd turned; in the dollar, knowing a lot of people would have just kept it. She 6 that Belscher tape(d)it to the whiteboard, where she always puts 7 things.

A day or two later, the school shut down for Easter 8. Neither the teacher nor her student thought twice about the dollar. After school, a boy named Tom spotted the dollar on the whiteboard. "There was a 9 to it." Tom says. He asked Mattison why it was there. She replied, "I don't know." Then Tom 10 a second dollar.

The 11 of the two dollar bills side by side triggered (触发) something in Mattison's students. They started asking about the 12 of the money, to which Mattison always gave the 13 answer: She didn't know.

However, the students, among themselves, decided and understood Mattison had some good 14 final plan and goal. So, they wanted to be part of whatever this was. They 15 their savings and the amount continue to grow. As for the 16 dollar, the person who lost it never came looking.

That left Mattison to make the best decision. She thought of her brother-in-law, Jack Hains, who had died of ALS, a 17 and deadly disease. His sister died of the same 18. Mattison asked the teens whether they 19 if they donated (捐赠) the money. Their answer was that they definitely didn't. Then, they 20 peeled (剥开) the cash off the board and made the donation to the ALS Institute established to find a cure for the disease.
