If you see a group of people dancing and singing on the street or in the railway station, you don’t need to feel surprised. They are flash mobbers (快闪族). Who are they? Are they mobs(犯罪团伙)? Don’t feel afraid hearing their name. In fact, like a mob, they are a large group of people, but they have a good purpose. They usually get together in a place, do some simple actions, and then quickly disappear.
Flash mob is now becoming more and more popular. People use it to do many things. For example, in 2009, Michael Jackson’s fans took part in a flash mob to remember him. Hundreds of his fans organized through Internet and got together outside the railway station in Liverpool. They were singing and dancing Michael’s famous song “Beat It” together. And in another example, some people took part in a flash mob to tell more people not to use negative words (消极语言).

Do teenagers in small villages（村子） do chores at home? How about the teenagers in big cities? Here is a survey（调查）. We asked 4,000 teenagers in China several questions. Half of them come from big cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. The others are from small villages（村子）. We made a diagram（表格） of the result（结果） of our survey（调查）. Let’s have a look at it. We found out that teenagers from small villages do more chores than those from big cities. Maybe it is because they live a harder life. Our advice to parents in big cities is that parents should give their children some chores to do. Doing chores teaches teenagers to take care of themselves.
