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. (1)Don’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. (2)You may read a book, practice English or help Mum with housework.

Follow our advice, and have a happy school life!

For Halloween this year, we were in Thailand（泰国）; it was very different from that in America. People here don’t celebrate（庆祝）Halloween, but there are still some tricks（恶作剧）for me.

    Riding on an elephant was the “trick”. （1）We rode the elephant to the river. When we got to the water, the people asked us to take everything off except（除了）our clothes. We had to give them our shoes, hats, and all of our things, but we didn’t know（2）w      . When we got in the water, the elephant sat down, but the people made the elephant lie down（躺下）. Then, we knew why they asked us to take off all our things—because we had to get wet! We all cried. The elephant stood up. And we got back on. Then, it put water on us with his trunk. We got wet again. It was funny. We all had a good time.

As space science develops, man has learned more and more about space. Space is not only amazing but also dangerous. While working in space, spacemen are facing danger as well as access.

Scientists have found out that radiation(辐射) is the greatest danger to spacemen in space. When spacemen are working in space, they are in danger of radiation from the sun and other stars, which is bad for their health. The damage done by radiation won't be discovered until their children or even grandchildren are born. Some special medicine may work a little, but no really helpful medicine has been found.

(72)Space junk is also thought to be a great danger to spacemen. It's reported that there are 9，000 man-made things flying in space. About 30% of these are man-made satellites(卫星), 10% are spaceships, and the rest are space junk. An explosion(爆炸) in 1999 made a cloud of 300，000 fragments(碎片), each at least 4mm in size, and even a small piece of these knocked against a spaceship window and did some damage. Scientists are watching and reporting any possible danger all the time. They are working on helpful ways to deal with space junk.

Although space is really dangerous, (73)it interests everyone on the earth. In the near future, it may become usual for people to spend a few days in a space hotel. We may even choose to leave the earth and live in space in a few years. So we should care for space and do something to help improve the space environment.

    Is it difficult for you to remember things? I’d like to tell you some ways to improve your memory, so you shouldn’t feel upset.

    My first advice is that if you want to remember something well, you have to review it regularly(有规律地). (3)You might review the material two days after you learn it, then a week later, then two weeks later, and then a month later. After a month you will find that you can easily remember the material.

    My second advice is to use a colored pen to highlight(标注) the important parts on your book. This will help you in two days. First, it will help you pay attention to the most important parts when you learn the language. It is always easier to remember only the key points. Second, this will make reviewing easier. When you open your book, the colored parts will show you the most important things quickly. In this way, you don't have to review all the material again.

   Another piece of advice is to use the proper time well. First, review all the information in your mind right before you go to sleep. Your brain is working while you are sleeping. If you think about the information before you go to sleep, you might be able to remember it better.（4）Another good time for memorizing information is in the morning because you have just rested and your brain is fresh and clear. So you might also try to review the important information in the morning.

It was December, and Mary was thinking about the Christmas presents for her family. Her dad was easy to buy for. He loved history books. She could look at the books he had and buy something like that.

She would have to ask her mom what she was going to buy for him, so that they wouldn’t get the same one!

Mary’s problem was what to buy for her mom. Her mom didn’t read many books. She loved gardening, but she already had all the garden tools she needed. Also, she liked to choose her plants and seeds herself. Mary had a lot of ideas about the present. But nothing was perfect.

Mom always said that the best presents were the ones that you put time and hard work into. Suddenly Mary had an idea. Why not knit (编织) a scarf for Mom? That way she could wear it to keep warm when she was in the garden on cold days. She’d love it! So Mary bought some pink and orange wool. They were Mom’s favorite colors because they reminded her of the flowers she liked. Mary spent many hours knitting when her mom was not around. She wanted it to be a surprise. When Mom opened the present on Christmas morning, she was very thankful. She knew that Mary had spent a long time on it. She took Mary in her arms and gave her a big kiss!
