It can change suddenly in a very short time, and that has happened a few times in the past days. Yesterday
is a good example, when we woke up at 8:00 it was cloudy but dry. Soon after it started to rain a bit at around
10:00 am. In 20 minutes it became snowy, and it was freezing cold outside. Then at around 12:00, when we
just finished our visit to the Potala, the snow stopped and the clouds became thick. In an hour the temperature
went up to over 20 degrees (度) and it became sunny! Later in the afternoon it became even warmer and we
had drinks at an open air tea-house in the old town. At night after dinner when we wanted to take a taxi back
to the hotel, it suddenly was very cold again and it started raining at 6:30. The whole day there was hardly any
wind, but while waiting for the taxi at 7:00 the wind suddenly picked up. Today it"s sunny again, but windy,
and about 13 degrees. But the weather report that we received this morning said it would snow again.                                                          Strange Weather in Lhasa

Our local Community (社区) Youth Club is a very popular organization with young people in my town. I have been a member for four years now and I"ve taken part in a lot of interesting projects. These include fun activities such as holiday camps and discos. We have even made a video.      But it isn"t all just enjoyment. We have also started doing social work to help people in our neighbourhood. We have organized activities for small children during the holidays. We have also formed a special support group to help young people stop smoking.      We are particularly proud of the most recent group we have created. It organizes regular visits to the local home for the elderly. This idea came from a school visit to a home for the elderly. My class spent an afternoon at the home and everyone found the visit very rewarding (有意义的). The old people at the home were excited by our visit. They were very talkative (健谈的) and they told us their personal stories. During our visit, the home was full of the sound of laughter. We sang songs and played games with the old people and had tea together. But we realized that life wasn"t always easy. Some of them were in poor health and were very unhappy. They couldn"t go outside and the visits by children brought some sunshine into their lives.      Many young people like me have very little contact with elderly people. As a result, we have a lot of wrong ideas about them. We have little or no idea of the kind of lives they lead in the homes. After this visit, my friends and I decided we should do something to help improve the quality of their lives.      Since the creation of our visiting group over twenty volunteers have joined us. Up to now, we have organized three group evening parties and a concert. But I think the individual (单独的) visits are the most important. Club members regularly visit old people and everyone finds the experience rich and rewarding.

When Julia Samberg eats her favorite food, she feels bad. She knows that chocolate can have a lot of fat and sugar. But Julia says she loves chocolate so much-once she starts eating it, she can"t stop.      Julia isn"t the only one who loves chocolate. It is a favorite food for people all over the world. People prefer chocolate over ice cream, cakes, and cookies.      The idea of eating chocolate didn"t begin until the 19th century. Before that, people drank chocolate. The habit began in Central America where the Aztecs drank bowls of chocolate to stay watchful. When the liquid (液体) chocolate was brought to Spain in the 1500s, people thought it was medicine because it had a medicine taste. In fact, the people who made chocolate into drinks were doctors.      Then people discovered that mixing chocolate with sugar made a wonderful drink. King Ferdinand of Spain loved this drink so much that he put out an order: anyone who talked about chocolate outside the court (法庭) would be killed. For about 100 years, chocolate was a secret in Spain.      Finally, people found out about chocolate, and it became a popular drink in Europe. Later, the Swiss mixed milk and chocolate. Today, most Americans prefer milk chocolate, while most Europeans prefer dark chocolate.      New research shows that chocolate is actually good for us." Chocolate has different kinds of vitamins," says a researcher in France." It has more than 300 different chemicals. One chemical works on the part of the brain (大脑) that feels pleasure. People who feel good when they eat chocolate are actually healthier. Feeling pleasure is important for health and can protect against illness."" Good chocolate doesn"t have much fat or sugar. You can enjoy it if you eat a little at a time!" says Tara Bearish, another chocolate lover.
