| Four ways to have a good school-life Your schooldays should be some of the best and happiest days of your life. How can you get the most from them, and make sure you do not waste this excellent chance to learn? Be active at school Don"t say things are difficult or boring. Be interested in school-life and your school subjects. Join lots of activities. ①(hands, quickly, your, class, in, up, put). Go around the school with a big smile. If you are not working, you are wasting your time at school. Teachers can not make everything enjoyable. Keep fit If you donot eat a good breakfast, you will be thinking about food in class. If you go to bed late and do not have enough sleep, you will be sleepy in class. ②Play enough sports every day in order to keep your body strong. Face the problem Do not say you will do things tomorrow. If you get behind the class, it is very difficult to get back in front. ③You can not finish the race if you rest all the time. Everyone fails some exams, loses some matches and has bad days. Don"t let small problems seem very big and important. Don"t forget to ask for help. You are young, no one thinks you must do everything quite well! ④ Don"t waste time lying in bed on Saturday or Sunday morning. Go and play a sport, get together with friends in the park to relax, learn the piano, or help someone with problems. If you don"t want to go out, there are also a lot of things to do. You may read a book, practise English or help Mother with housework. Follow our advice, and have a happy school-life! | |

| One day, I went to see my last patient (病人), an old woman. In the doorway, I saw she was struggling (挣扎) to put socks on her swollen (浮肿)feet in the bed. I stepped in, spoke quickly to the nurse, read her chart noting. I was almost in the clear that she was not in serious condition. I asked, "Could I help put on your socks? How are you feeling? Your sugars and blood pressure were high but they"re better today. The nurse mentioned you"re anxious to see your son. He"s visiting you today. It"s nice to have a family visit. I think you really look forward to seeing him." "Sit down, doctor. This is my story, not yours." She said with a serious voice. I was surprised as I helped her with the socks. She told me that her only son lived around the corner from her, but she had not seen him in five years. She believed that was the main cause of her health problems. After hearing her story and putting on her socks, I asked if there was anything else I could do for her. She shook her head no and smiled. All she wanted me to do was to listen. Each story is different. Some are detailed; others are simple. Some have a beginning, middle and end; others don"t have clear ends. Some are true; others not. Yet all those things do not really matter. What matters to the storyteller is that the story is heard — without interruption (打断) or judgment (评价). It was that woman who taught me the importance of stopping, sitting down and truly listening. And, not long after, in an unexpected accident, I became a patient. 20 years later, I sit all the time — in a wheelchair. For as long as I could, I continued to see patients from my chair. I believe in the power of listening. | |

| When I was seven years old, my family made me an ant farm. First, we put clean sand in a thin glass box. Then we waited for the ants to arrive. After the ants were in the glass farm, they started to make tunnels (地道). I was amazed that each one knew exactly what to do. Each had its own job. On the fifth day a tragedy (悲剧) happened. I put my face so close to the glass farm that I knocked it over. All the tunnels fell down. Although the ants remained alive after their earthquake, one by one they began to die. I was scared as I watched them give up building their tunnels to carry the bodies to a corner of the farm. My mother said that the ants were dying of sadness. They simply could not stand that their tunnels were gone. Although much time has passed, I still think of that ant farm. Mom had hoped it would teach me about the natural world, but it taught me much more. Over the years, I came to realize the importance of teamwork. Working together, the ants were able to make an amazing world for themselves. I also learned that they should be admired (钦佩) for their hard work. But there was an even larger lesson that I did not realize until recently: Adversity (逆境) is a natural part of life, and must be accepted. Unlike the ants, we cannot give up when we are sad. We have to realize that if a tunnel is gone, we must build another. Giving up, I say, is not a good choice. | |

| How important is your appearance? Although everyone wants to be good-looking, are beautiful people always happier people? For example, it must be a problem to be a really beautiful woman, because some people may be more interested in looking at you than talking to you. They think of you as a picture rather than a person. There are also some people who think that women who are exceptionally (格外地) pretty and men who are particularly handsome must be stupid. They believe that only unattractive (无魅力的) people can be intelligent. On the other hand, no one wants to be really ugly, and have a face that even your mother doesn"t want to look at; and no one wants to be plain, either-that is, to be neither attractive nor unattractive, and have a face that is easily forgotten. Being attractive is like being rich-it can help you find happiness, but it doesn"t always make you happy. So maybe the best thing is not to worry too much about how you look, but simply try to be an interesting person. For interesting people have interesting faces, and interesting faces are almost always attractive. | |
| 根据短文内容，判断正(T)，误(F)。 ( )1. Everyone wants to be attractive. ( )2. No one likes to talk to a very pretty woman. ( )3. Some people think that handsome men are uninteresting. ( )4. A plain face is easily forgotten. ( )5. Not many interesting people are also attractive. | |

| Encouraging words are very important. Here is a story about it. A group of frogs were traveling through the woods and two of them fell into a deep hole. When the other frogs saw how deep the hole was, they told the two frogs that they were as good as dead. The two frogs ignored (不理睬) the comments and tried to jump out of the hole with all their strength. The other frogs kept telling them to stop, that they were as good as dead. Finally, one of the frogs considered what the other frogs were saying and gave up. He fell down and died. The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the crowd of frogs shouted at him to stop the pain and just die. He jumped even harder and finally made it out. When he got out, the other frogs said, "Did you not hear us?" The frog explained to them that he was deaf. He thought they were encouraging him all the time. This story teaches us the following lessons: Be careful of what you say to those who are in trouble. There is power of life and death in the word. An encouraging word to someone who is down can lift them up and help them make it through the day. | |
