25、

Avery and I are good friends, but once something unpleasant happened when we both tried for roles in Alice in Wonderland.

Avery really hoped to be Alice and I was sure she could get the role. However, it turned out that I was picked to be Alice and Avery only got the part of the March Hare. “Do you want to practice together with me?” I asked. “Sorry, I’m busy this week,” said Avery, without looking at me. “And I will be always busy.” She refused me.

That night at dinner, my parents noticed I was not that excited about getting the lead role. They wondered what happened. “Well, Avery was not picked to be Alice, but I was. She was unhappy. Maybe she will throw away our friendship.”

My father said, “Don’t worry about it. I think this is a chance for you to be an extra-good friend.”

“Dad’s right,” said my mother. “Sometimes when our friends do well, we may have feelings of envy (嫉妒) and don’t know how to act. Try giving her a little time, space and understanding, and she will change her mind soon.”

Over the next week, I tried my best to give Avery some space. Then one day, on the way to our practice, I met her. “I just want to say, you’re such a great actor when acting as the March Hare.” I smiled. She seemed happy and explained how she understood the role. When I asked her to help me with my role, she agreed and smiled, too. She even said sorry to me for acting that way at first. Later, we became closer to each other.

I’ve learned that people often have a difficult time dealing with envy and disappointment. If you have similar experiences, you could try taking my parents’ advice. Give your friend a little time, space and understanding. This might be the perfect time to be an extra-good friend.

26、In the past, working people in Britain only had holidays on “holy” (religious) days: Sundays, Christmas and Easter. Now most people have about four weeks of holiday time every year plus public (公共的) holidays (also called “bank holidays”).

When?

Most British workers take a two-week holiday in July or August. School children are on holiday from the end of July to the start of September. Taking a second holiday break in winter or spring is also becoming more popular in the UK.

Where?

The most popular holiday destinations for Brits include Spain, France, Greece and the US. Lots of people buy a package holiday that includes flights and a hotel or an apartment (公寓).

Flights and package holidays are much cheaper during school terms and the British government is worried that some young people are skipping school (逃课) to go on holiday. Parents who take their child on vacation during term time must now pay a fine (罚款).

British people also like to go on holiday in the UK. They might go to England, Northern Ireland, Scotland or Wales, In Cornwall (康沃尔), for example, there is an environmental project called the Eden Project. You can see plants from all over the world there.

Independent (独立的) holidays

Some teenagers want to spend their holidays doing something without their family. A language exchange (交换) is one way to become more independent and improve one’s language skills. A British teenager might spend a week or two in a foreign country, staying with a family who has a son or daughter of the same age and practicing the local language.
