My name is woof. You think that we have a great life，right？Wrong！I am going to tell you why.
First of all，we are bored. Bored, bored and bored. Do you ever think about what a dog does all day？ Nothing. Nothing at all. Our owners are busy，you know，working，going to school，away from home all day. So what are we supposed to do？Watch the house or apartment？Sure. That is like watching paint dry or grass grow. Boring. That’s why we get so excited when our owners come home. We bark and run around and act as if we are very happy. But we only do this because we are bored all day. If we are lucky, our owners take us for a walk.
Then there is the food. We eat the same food，meal after meal，day after day，week after week，month after month. Help！Would you like to eat the same thing all the time？No，you would not. So what makes you think we dogs like it？We don’t. We hate it.
Another thing -television. Dogs hate television. Our owners watch these stupid programs，hour after hour，night after night. Are there any programs for dogs on television？No. Not a single one.
So what can we do？What else can we do but sleep？And so we sleep. We dogs are not lazy，we are bored.

French kids can be editors for a day
Can kids make their own newspapers? They do in Paris. Student editors at a French newspaper for kids called Mon Quotidien, do every day.
The ten-year-old newspaper sometimes sells 200,000 copies every day. It gets more than one million dollars every year! This is much more than many other newspapers.
How do they decide what to put in the paper? All the adult editors working on the children’s newspaper agree that the paper should be simple to read. Kids should be able to finish it within 10 minutes. The paper covers(报道) kids’ favorite subjects like school life, animals and science. It also talks about big world problems.
In order to make the paper more popular with kids, adult editors invite students aged 10 to 15 to join them. They have meetings every Wednesday and Sunday. Adult editors, reporters and kids sit together and decide which topics should come out in the paper and on which page. Which topic should come out on the front page, world news or bears in the zoo? Often the kid editors and adult editors disagree. Sometimes, the adult editors have to give up because their little editors won’t give in. Usually the student editors stay in the newspaper office for three hours at each meeting. Any kid in France can call the newspaper if they are interested in being a one-day editor.
1.The French newspaper Mon Quotidien has a history of 10 years.
2.The newspaper is for the kids to create and practice, not to earn any money.
3. The editors of the newspaper are all kids.
4. The children can finish reading the newspaper within 10 minutes because it’s simple.
I was waiting for the bus when I met the woman. “You look tired. Come and sit here,” she said. “ are you going?”
“I don’t know. I just want to catch a and see what it will be like at the end.”
“I’m afraid you’ll see there. Why don’t you enjoy the sights on the way?”
“How can I do that while my heart’s ?” I asked sadly. My best friend had left me.
The woman seemed to understand my feeling. “Don’t cry, little girl. I’ve had a similar experience to yours. Thirty-five years ago, my husband left our three children and me. I was deadly sad. I decided to kill myself and the children, so I took them to the sea. ，they seemed to know what would happen, so they loudly. Their cry suddenly woke me up. How could I my hope to live for one of life’s problems? After that, I worked hard to raise the children. Now they all live and one of them has his own family.
Then the woman gave me a smile, “We should never wait for the door to before us. We should find the key to the or try to find another way.”
The bus came and I got on it with a smile.
