Once upon a time, there stood a small village in Japan. The people were not rich. However, they were happy. After all, their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries.

Then one day, some visitors from the city arrived. They told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frog's legs. However, they did not have enough frogs of their own，so they wanted to buy frogs from other places.

This seemed like money for nothing. There were millions of frogs in the fields around，and they were no use to the villagers. All they had to do was catch them. Agreement was reached，and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. For the first time, the people were able to dream of a better future. But the dream didn't last long.

The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well. More worrying was that the children fell ill more often, and there seemed to be more insects around lately.

The villagers decided that they couldn't just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak. They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides (杀虫剂) and medicines. Soon there was no money left.

Then the people realized what was happening. It was the frog. They hadn't been useless. They had been doing an important job—eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases.

Now，the people are still poor. But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs. These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning.

There exist a number of advantages of wearing school uniforms. The idea may seem disagreeable at first, but considering all the positive effects coming from wearing uniforms you would be more likely to enjoy them.

Teachers love school uniforms because it helps provide an orderly learning environment. Having students dressed in uniforms may teach them how to present themselves in a neat and professional manner. It gives students the opportunity to learn how to dress like young ladies and gentleman. And they can focus their attention on academics rather than style.

Purchasing (购买) school uniforms is easy and needs less hesitation and consideration. No matter what the school's policy is, there are only few basic pieces to the clothes that are necessary, so it won't break the bank. A few wardrobe clothes can last a long time. Parents could also enjoy an easy morning, as it will take less time to choose a set of clothes for the school day.

Students wearing uniforms will feel less pressure about what to wear or not to wear when their classmates are dressed similarly. Getting dressed before school becomes less of a complex thing when students are limited in their choices, so there shouldn't be any trouble about choosing an outfit for the day and getting ready quickly. Some students may not like the lack of individuality (个性) with a uniform, but some school dress code policies may offer them the opportunities to show their unique styles.

Uniforms today are also becoming more fashionable and can be seen in many areas of pop culture. Celebrities and fashion designers are using uniforms as inspiration for new looks which also appeal to students.

It's widely believed that Whitney Houston, born in America, appeared certain to become a singer. Her mother Cissy Houston was the choir minister at New Hope Baptist Church, and it was there that the young Whitney got her start.

When she was 19, Whitney Houston was discovered in a nightclub by the famous Clive Davis of Arista Records. In 1983,Houston made her debut (首演) on national television. In 1985, she released her debut album Whitney Houston and almost immediately became a sensation. Over the next year, her hit singles Saving All My Love for You and How Will I Know helped the album reach the top of the charts, where it remained for fourteen weeks in a row. Houston won a Grammy in 1986 for Saving All My Love for You.

By 1992, Whitney Houston was on top of the world, but her life was about to get very complicated very quickly. That year she married the R&B singer Bobby Brown. At first the marriage was passionate and loving, but things turned sour as the decade progressed and both Brown and Houston battled drug abuse.

In spite of these growing personal troubles, Whitney Houston continued to progress in her career, crossing over successfully into acting in 1992 by starring in The Bodyguard. Her single from the movie, I will Always Love You, proved to be Houston's biggest hit ever, spending a record-breaking fourteen weeks on top of the US charts.

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, Whitney Houston's increasingly rocky marriage, struggles with drug and health problems threatened her career. Over the next few years, Houston attempted to break her drug habit and divorced Bobby Brown in 2007.

After almost a decade of struggling with her personal life, Houston seemed to be pulling herself together. She released a new album I Look to You, in 2009.The recording received a warm welcome from music fans.

In early 2012, Houston worked on a new musical film Sparkle with Jordin Spark. Unluckily, Houston didn't live long enough to see it.

Whitney Houston died on February 11, 2012, in Los Angeles. With her passing, the music world has lost one of its most outstanding stars.
