If some athletes dont follow the rules, it ruins the fun for everyone connected with the game. It also gives an extremely unfair advantage to the athlete using the drug. Jim from AtlantaDrug use among top athletes has long been a problem. Without drug testing, the Olympics would be about who uses the most drugs, not who trains the hardest and has the most athletic skills. Also drugs hurt people and they could even kill people. David from HoustonWhy should athletes be allowed to compete when its not really them who are actually competing? Its the drugs that do all the work. Athletes who use drugs are like runners with skates. Its cheating and should not be allowed. Its unfair to other competitors who dont use drugs. Bruce from ChicagoMost sports athletes are held to a standard of being drug free. Olympians should not be held any differently. They take part in highly competitive sports for their country and win medals for it. Testing the athletes for drugs must be done in every country and every sport. No drug testing would be unfair to people who dont use drugs. Sam from Los AngelesAlthough popular opinion is against athletes using drugs, I believe they do help make the Olympic sports more wonderful. I enjoy seeing human beings achieving things that couldnt be done with normal conditioning. I enjoy seeing stronger, faster and longer performances with the help of drugs. Jack from New York21.

He had just enlarged a piece of paper money for a friend a Confederate bank note, money issued (发行) by banks in Southern States of America during the Civil War. When he was face to face with the picture, he couldnt believe his eyes: slaves happily picking cotton in their masters fields.Jones grew up in South Carolina.

The picture on the money did not match the history of African American slaves that hed heard all his life. “I had never seen that type of picture on money before,” he said.Jones wondered why slaves looked so happy. He started doing research.Searching for and finding the answers to his questions changed his life. During two years search, Jones found more than 120 different bills. He discovered that the bills had several things in common. They showed slaves working in jobs related to farming. Many of them showed healthy and smiling slaves at work. None of the bills showed the hardships of slavery.Jones wanted to share what he had learned. “I wanted other people to see what I had seen,” he said. He decided to make large paintings of the pictures on the money. After three years of work, Jones had painted more than 80 slavery scenes (场景). He paired each painting with the money on which the picture appeared. “The Color of Money” an exhibit (展览) of his work has toured the country.Jones paintings tell an important story about the South 150 years ago.

John Jones Changes AmericaCA team of middle schoolers from North Dakota has turned a prize-winning idea into reality with their Recycling Bin app (废物回收箱应用软件). The app encourages recycling by providing users with a searchable map of nearby recycling centers.The group of nine sixth graders from STEM Center Middle School, in West Fargo, North Dakota, came up with the idea as part of a school program for the Verizon Innovative App Challenge. The competition was designed by the Verizon Foundation to increase students interest in science, technology, engineering, and math, or STEM. It asks students to think of an app that could solve (解决) a problem in their school. The students came up with the Recycling Bin when they saw a need for more recycling in their school for a long time. “We thought that this would really help a lot of people,” Jaden Hilkemann, 12, said.They kept their idea simple so that anyone could use it. The middle schoolers were surprised when they were among the ten national winning teams. “I didnt think our app was this good!” Joram Stith, 12, said. “We were the youngest winning group.”With the help of the Massachusetts Institute of Technologys Media Lab, they turned their idea into an app ready for download. “We had groups of two or three people each developing one part of the app,” Hunter Koehmstedt, 12, said. “We worked together and it was great.” Jacob Pfeifer, 12, added that they learned a lot working together. “At first, we all didnt agree on exactly what we wanted it to do, but in the end we all came to an agreement,” he said.In June, the free Recycling Bin app became available for download. “I was very excited when it went up on the app store,” Seralyn Blake, 12, said. “A lot of my family members downloaded the app. It was pretty cool.”29.

Or do boys and girls need to be together to learn to get along? There is no right answer. 36 Some people believe that single-gender (单性的) schools are the best choice. Others believe that schools including both genders give kids a stronger start.37 In the mid-1990s, there were only two single-gender public schools in the United States. Today, more than 500 public schools in 40 states have only boy students, only girl students or some classes that are single-gender.According to these schools, boys and girls learn very differently.

Sooner or later, theyre going to be in the workplace with people of the other gender.“Boys who spend more time with other boys become increasingly aggressive (好斗的),” the article says. “ 40 ” The authors also say no study proves that single-gender schooling leads to higher scores or better performances.A.
