Happiness is for everyone. （1） You don’t have to admire those people who have beautiful houses with large garden. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely. In fact, happiness is around you if you put your heart into it. （2）当你在学校遇到麻烦时，你的朋友会帮助你;when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking care of your life and your healthy; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; （3）when you do something wrong, people around you will help you correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is around you.

（4）快乐不同于金钱。It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are happy, because you have something that can’t be bought with money. When you have difficulties, you can say loudly that you are happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is a revolving(旋转的) door. When it close, it also opens. （5） If you take every chance you get, you will be a happy and lucky person.

Your schooldays should be some of the best and happiest days of your life. How can you get the most from them, and be sure you do not waste (浪费) this great chance to learn?

Be active (积极的) at school  Don’t say things are difficult or boring. Take interest in school life and your school subjects. Join lots of activities. Put up your hands quickly in class. Go around the school with a big smile. If you are not working, you are wasting your time at school. Teachers cannot make everything enjoyable (令人愉快的).

Keep fit  If you don’t eat a good breakfast, you will be thinking about food in class. If you go to bed late and don’t have enough sleep, you will be sleepy in class. Play 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. You cannot finish the race if you rest all the time. Everyone fails some exams, loses some matches and has bad days. Don’t make small problems very big and important. 83Don’t forget to ask others for help. You are young, and no one thinks you must do everything quite well!

Spend the weekends  Don’t waste time lying in bed on Saturday or Sunday morning. Go and play sports, get together with friends in the park to relax, learn to play the piano, or help someone with problem. If you don’t want to go out, there are also a lot of things to do. 84You may read a book, practice English or help Mum with housework.

Follow our advice, and have a happy school life!

Children know that summer is probably the most fun of all seasons. However, experts say it is also the most dangerous, especially, for children aged 14 and under. In its first study of children’s safety in the US, the National Safe Kids Campaign(NSKC) founds that nearly half of the injury-related(与受伤相关的) deaths among children happened in summer.

Experts are not surprised by the study’s results. They always know summer is a dangerous season for children. During the summer, children are out of the school and spend more time outdoors.They are more likely to get into an accident or be injured.“While we encourage children to be active and spend more time outdoors, they need to understand the importance of safety,” said Everett Koop, an expert of the NSKC.

To help children stay safe, the NSKC started a “Make it a Safe Kids Summer” campaign during National Safe Kids Week, from May 5 through May 12. Here are some important summer safety tips from the NSKC:

l Always wear your seat belt.

l Make sure there is an adult around when you decide to go swimming.

l Wear a life jacket when on a boat or doing water sports.

l Obey all traffic rules.

l Don’t meet e-pals alone.
