When I was about 12 ， I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings (缺點） Sometimes she said I was thin. Sometimes she said I was lazy. Sometimes she said I wasn't a good student. Sometimes she said I talked too much, and so on. I tried to put up with(忍受)her as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.

He listened to me quietly, and then he asked, " Are the things she said true or not? Mary, didn't you ever wonder what you're really like? Go and make a list of everything she said, and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said."

I did as he told me, and to my surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true.

I brought the list back to my dad. He refused to take it. uThat's just for you," he said. "You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. When something said about you is true, you'll find it helpful to you. Don't shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you think is right.，，

  Energy is everywhere. We use energy to move the mouse for a computer,to jump,shout,walk and run.

  Electricity is a form of energy and it is what powers the TV,hairdryer,mobile,fridge,electric toothbrush and more!Our growing need for energy is one of the problems of the world today,because producing electricity also produces pollution.

  Here are some simple ways to make a big difference when using electricity.

  On or off? Leaving televisions and computers on with the little red light showing still uses electricity,even though they might look like they're turned off. To stop this you can turn them off on the wall.

  Fridge door closed. The fridge is an important part of the kitchen. It keeps food fresh,cool and healthy!But it takes a lot of energy to keep cool,so help it by not leaving the fridge door open or putting hot things inside.

  Use the sun's energy. An increasing number of people are fitting solar panels (太陽能板) to their houses. They create electricity from sunlight,which can then be used to power their homes. Solar heating panels make hot water,reducing the need for electricity or gas to heat water.
