These days, people show all kinds of things on the Internet like good food, nice clothes, wonderful vacations and so on. Now showing the number of steps is becoming popular.
Now more and more people find it important to be in good health. To keep healthy, many people go to work on foot. When they start walking, they open the step counter (计步) app on the phones to record (记录) how many steps they walk that day. After a day’s walk, some people show the number on WeChat or Weibo. This can make them learn from each other and keep exercising.
“This helps me to exercise much and keep a good habit,” Miss Liu said. “I can also talk about how to keep healthy with my friends on WeChat. We are in the same group to encourage each other to keep exercising.”
Mr. Wu likes to exercise. But in the past he was kind of lazy and didn’t want to exercise every day. “After I use the step counter app, everything is different. It is great to exercise with my friends. Sometimes there are prizes for those who walk more steps. I really like it,” he said.
Walking is a relaxing and useful way to exercise. Both the old and the young like it. Recording the steps helps people develop a good habit of walking and showing the number can make people more interested in walking. But don’t take the number too seriously.

Saying “I am sorry” means apologizing. It is not always easy to apologize to someone, but it can help make things better.
Sometimes we do things we should not do. You might fight with a friend and say bad things to her. You might break a rule at school. When you know you did something wrong, apologizing is the right thing to do.
Sometimes accidents happen.You might step on someone’s foot by accident. It is still a good idea to apologize. You can apologize like this, “I wish that did not happen”.
Sometimes you do not start the conflict (纠纷). You might get angry and throw your classmate’s book down the hall if he says something bad to you. You might think, “I did not start it, so I don’t have to apologize.” The student was wrong to say bad things to you, but it’s not right for you to throw his book. You should also apologize for what you did wrong.
Apologizing when you aren’t sorry does not help much. Take some time to calm down and think about what happened. Then try apologizing. You will feel better about yourself and you will know you did the right thing. So, apology can make the world harmonious (和谐的).

When I was about twelve years old, a girl in my class liked to point out my shortcomings (缺点). Week by week her list grew: I was very thin; I wasn’t good at math; I talked too much; I was too proud, and so on. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears (眼泪) in my eyes. He listened to me quietly and asked, “Are those things true or not? Jane, didn’t you ever think about what you’re really like?” Then he added, “Well, you have that girl’s opinions. Make a list of everything she said and mark (做标记) the points that are true.”
I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I found out that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (改变), like being very thin, but many I could and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I got a clear picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Daddy, and he said, “Now you know better about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears angrily and feel hurt. When something about you is true, you’ll find it will be of great help to you. Don’t shut (闭上) your ears. Listen to the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”
Daddy’s advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, I’ve never received a better piece of advice.
