Students don't always get along well with their teachers. Sometimes they try to get out of a class to escape(逃离) a teacher they don't like. Here is some advice to solve this problem.

●Ask yourself, "What can I learn from this teacher?" If you don't worship his or her personality (性格) or lessons, you can find out what he or she is good at.. Focus on(聚焦) that part of the teacher's personality, and use him or her as a tool for learning. You'll not only get more knowledge in that subject, but also a closer relationship with your teacher! It may help you understand each other better.

●Talk to students who are doing well in the class and ask them for tips, tools, and a plan of action to get along with the teacher better. If you're too shy to talk to another student, study his or her actions and behavior（行为） in the classroom and try to follow them.

●If you still can't get along, make an appointment with the school guidance counselor（辅导员）． He or she will offer many tips and suggestions for you to get out of difficult teacher relationships. Sometimes a guidance counselor can be a mediator（调解员） between you and the teacher. That means they can help you and your teachers get rid of （摆脱）the bad impression（印象） on each other.

●If your relationship problems can't be solved in school, it's time to tell your parents. They can meet with your teacher and try to work it out.

Teachers are there for more than just knowledge, and they know about more than just their subject. They can help you learn how to be a lifelong learner and a helpful adult.

It keeps your insides from falling out. It helps you warm up when you are cold, and it can cool you off when you are hot. It lets you feel things by touch.

What is this? Your skin, of course! What does your skin ask for in return for all the wonderful things it does? Just a little care! So letˈs learn how to take good care of our skin.

Like the heart and stomach, your skin is an organ(器官). In fact, it is the largest organ in your body. Unless thereˈs a problem, you may not think about your skin very much. But skin has an important job to do.

Your skin is protecting you. Your skin keeps you from getting sick. When you take care of your skin, you are helping your skin do its job. Taking care of your skin today will help you have no problems in the future.

The Readers is a popular TV show. It invites different people to read aloud on the stage. The   (1)  also tells the moving stories behind those people. They can read everything   (2)  poems, books, and letters. By reading aloud, the words on the paper come to   (3)  .

Many people are fans of the show. They begin to   (4)  reading aloud at home. Now, the show gives people a   (5)  place to read acrossChina. It is a reading pavilion(朗读亭). They are in many cities, includingShanghai,HangzhouandXi’an.

The pavilion is very   (6)  . Only one person can come into it each time. There is a microphone in it and it   (7)  people’s voices. Everyone can read for three minutes in the pavilion. They can read   (8)  they like. The show will pick some of the readers and invite them to read on TV.

People of all   (9)  read in the pavilion.“Reading should be just like singing and talking,”said Dong Qing, the producer of the show.“We can express our true   (10)  by reading aloud.”

“I sometimes get up at three or four in the morning and I surf the net.”

“I often check my e-mail forty times a day.”

“I often spend more than three hours during one time on the net.”

“I spend more time in chat rooms than with my ‘real-life’ friends.”

Do you know any people like these? They are part of a new addiction(瘾) called Internet addiction. Internet addicts spend at least thirty to forty hours online every week. The use of the Internet can be an addiction like drug(毒品) use. People lose control of the time they spend on the Internet

For example, one college student was missing for several days. His friends were worried, and they called the police. The police found the student in the computer lab，he was surfing the net for several days straight.

Studies show that about 6 to 10% of Internet users become addicted. And people worry about the teens because the Internet is changing the playing field for some of them. They spend more time in cyberspace（网络空间）than in the real world of friends and family.

Is “surfing the net” a hobby or an addiction for you? You may have a problem if you have these symptoms:

●You do not go to important family activities or you do not do school work because you like to spend hours on the Internet.

●You can’t wait for your next online time.

●You plan to spend a short time online, but then you spend several hours.

●You go out with your friends less and less.

According to scientists’ research, the month in which babies are born could affect(影响) them in some ways.

Babies born in spring get sick easily. Children born under Aquarius (Jan. 21st—Feb. 19th) may be less clever than those born in other seasons. They may also have shorter lives than those born in autumn. Scientists believe many of the differences can be explained by the mother’s exposure to sunlight in pregnancy (怀孕). Sunlight helps lead to the production of vitamin D in the body. The lack (缺乏) of vitamin D in the first months of life may have a bad effect on health.

Vitamin D is called the “sunshine vitamin”. It has a good effect on health. A study showed that people born from April to June had slightly shorter lives than those born in October, November or December. Similar studies in the US showed that people born in autumn lived about 160 days longer than those born in spring.

Professor Russell Foster said the conclusions were surprising and interesting. He added, “These are small effects but they are very, very clear. I am not giving voice to star signs and they are just for fun. But it is true that we are affected by our season of birth.”

During the day we work and play，and at night we sleep. Our body rests（休息）when we sleep. In the morning we are ready(准备)to work and play again. Our body grows most when we are asleep. Children who are tired usually need sleep. We can get better at our lessons after having plenty of rest. Boys and girls who are eight or nine years old need ten hours of sleep every night. Our body needs plenty of air when we are asleep. If we do not get enough fresh air, we will feel tired when we wake up(醒来). While in bed we must not cover(盖)our head, our lungs need to get enough fresh air. If we open our windows at night, we can have plenty of fresh air. Cool air is better than warm air.

The human brain weighs about 1.4 kilograms, but it can hold much more information

than most computers. However, there is another difference between human brains and computers. Computers don’t forget information they are given, but humans often do.

No one remembers everything and luckily we don’t usually have to. But everyone can improve their memory if they want to.Here are some suggestions.    

·        Try to use new information immediately. For example, if you meet someone who says “Hi! I’m Carlos.”, don’t just say “ Hello.”. Repeat the person’s name and say“______”.

·        Break a big number into small parts. For example, it’s hard to memorize 109244153.But if you break it into three parts—109/244/153, it will become easier.

·        Write down what you need to remember over and over again. This will help you keep it in mind longer, especially when memorizing formulas(公式)or facts.

·        Always review information. If you bring what you’ve learned back to your mind, it will become easier to remember. For example, before you go to sleep, it’s a good idea to review the new things you’ve learned that day.

·        Discuss with friends. It’s always easier to remember things through discussions. You can have a discussion about what’s right or wrong, it will lead to the right answer.

·        Never tell yourself that you have a bad memory.You can always do something to help improve your memory. And everyone’s memory will get better if they use it often.

 All of the suggestions are helpful. If you follow them, you are certain to improve your memory.

Have you learned about table manners in China？Here I will introduce some.

It is a traditional __  (1)  __ for Chinese people to eat with chopsticks. Each person at table will have a pair of chopsticks，and there is also an extra pair which is for__  (2)  __ use.

You should remember that you're __  (3)  __ to let the elders in the family sit and eat first. If they don't start，everyone else shouldn't start，either. And then you should make a __  (4)  __ to them.

While eating，it is impolite to eat with a loud __  (5)  __ ．And you'd better not speak while food is still in your __  (6)  __ ．Do not only eat one dish even if that is your favorite.

    People usually go out of their way to cook delicious food to make you __  (7)  __  at home，but when they say，“The dishes aren't delicious. I__  (8)  __  you don't mind，”you must not say，“Yeah，that's true，but I don't mind.”__  (9)  __ ，it is a typical word which can show one of the Chinese qualities—__  (10)  __ ．You should answer，“Really？I don't think so. It is the best taste of any dish that is new to me.”

As we all know, the former(前任的) Chinese leaders were interested in playing sports, such as ping-pong, basketball and football. So is President Xi Jinping.

  Xi was a sports lover and he used to playing football very much. And now he is also one of the football fans in China. He thinks we should not only care about the national team, but also pay much more to the training of the young players. So he visited Europe this year, he especially watched China-Germany(德国) youth football match. Although the team lost the game in the end, he still encouraged the young players to train harder and give up. He told them that they would be the keys to China’s football.

  Our life is just China’s football. As Xi once said in Shanghai,“China’s football dream looks far away but we cannot stop. You might make your dreams one day only if you keep dreaming.” So there is no excuse for us to give up our dreams, and we must try our best to realize them.

A

  There were three big fish in the lake．One of them，Demo，was wise；another one，Jimmy，was half-wise；Martin，the third one，was stupid．
Some fishermen came to the bank of the lake with their nets．The three fish saw them．
Demo decided at once to leave，to make the long and difficult trip to the ocean．He thought，"I won't discuss with these two about this．They love this place so much that they call it home and will stay on．How silly they are!They still haven't realized we are in great danger now．Their ignorance will cost them their lives．"
Seeing the wise fish had left，Jimmy thought，"My guide has gone and now I've lost my chance to escape．"He felt sorry for it and then thought，"What can I do to save myself from these men and their nets？Perhaps I should pretend（假装）to be already dead，giving myself totally to the water．"So he did that．He went up and down with the water，helpless，within arm's reach of the fishermen．
"Look at this!The best and biggest fish is dead．"One of the men lifted him by the tail，and threw him up on the ground．He rolled（滚动）over and over and moved secretly toward the water，and then，back in．
The third fish was aimlessly jumping about，trying to escape with his speed and cleverness．The net，of course，finally closed around him，and as he lay in the hot frying-pan bed，he thought，"If I get out of this，I'll never live again in the limits of the lake．Next time，the ocean!I'll make it my home．"
