"Cool" is a word
with many meanings. It can be used to express feelings of interest in almost
everything. When we see a
famous car in the street, maybe we will say, "It's cool.
" When we see a
famous singer, we may
say, "She's cool. "
Today, we use the word
"cool" to replace (替代) many words,
such as "great" or "nice". Here's an interesting story
about the word "cool". A teacher asked his students to write about a
large hall. One of his students wrote just one sentence, "It's so
cool." Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.
But it also tells us that we should think of many other words to describe
things we see and feel.

What's the real
meaning of the word "peace" ? The 1 story may tell us something about it.
There was once a king who offered an award to an artist who could paint
the 2 picture of peace. Many 3 tried. The king looked at all
the pictures. But there were only two he really liked and he had to choose between
them.
One picture was a
calm lake. The lake was a perfect thing for peace because of the high mountains
around it. Overhead was a blue sky with white clouds. 4 who saw this picture thought that it was
a perfect picture of peace.
The other picture
had mountains too. But they were
rugged (高低不平的). Above was the
dark sky, from which heavy rain fell. A waterfall was rushing down the side of
the mountain. This did not look 5 at all. But when the king
looked 6 , he found behind the waterfall a
very small bush 7 in
the midst 在….中 ) of the waterfall and a mother bird sitting on her nest (鳥窩) in perfect
peace.
The king gave the
award to the artist who painted the 8 picture. Why? "Because," explained
the king, "peace does not mean9 in a place where there is no 10 , no trouble
or hard work. Peace
means in the midst of all those things, you're still calm in your heart. That's
the real meaning of peace. "

Some teenagers think that newspapers are boring and only for adults. But
that's not true. There are many interesting stories in the paper. You just
need to make clear what you are looking at. "I spend about half an
hour reading newspapers every day," said 15-year-old Gao Ming from Beijing.
"I'm interested in things happening at school. "
School news is just one kind of news story in newspapers. There's also world
news: from international problems to pop stars.
Read the newspaper
carefully, we'll find different types of articles on the pages:
News stories - these stories are about events. Reporters try to show all
points of a story to help readers understand what happened. Reporters try to
speak to as many people as possible. They also use pictures and numbers to show
the readers that the stories are true. The newspaper Teenagers has lots of news
stories on the news page and front page. When we read them, we learn more about
the facts, not the writers' ideas.
Opinion writing
-- opinion writing is usually about something happening right now. But it isn't
just facts. Here writers add their own opinions to the news. Writers pick only
the facts that help back up their ideas. They make readers believe that they
are telling the truth. This is usually the kind of story that gets people
thinking. Go to "Speak Out" on Page Two for an example of opinion
writing in Teenagers.

pictures are just ways to get us interested in their products! People have to
pay to put advertisements in newspapers!
