It is very common for students’ marks to fall. Sometimes it is because of situations outside school such as problems at home. Sometimes it is only because the exams get harder.

When your marks start to fall, you should try talking to a friendly teacher. He or she will be able to help you with the subjects you feel difficult. Stop（62）把自己同其他的学生比较. It doesn’t matter if other students get higher marks than you. What is important is that you do your best. Before each exam, you should go through your notes from class. You should remember the most important things you have written in a shorter form.

But let your confidence rise by every mark. Soon they should begin to climb again. Remember:（63）Nothing is possible if he or she doesn’t have confidence.Besides（64）this, right ways are also needed by you. Keep on working hard, sooner or later, you will be successful.

You can see kangaroos everywhere in Australia．They appear on TV, in books and, in the shops．The government even plans to put them on passports．[103]Although it's the best loved animal in Australia, millions of kangaroos are killed every year．Why, people ask, do the Australians kill them? Quite simple, there are too many of them．

The number of kangaroos in Australia is believed to be 20—25 million．It is larger than the number of people living in the country．

There are several reasons for the growth in the number of kangaroos．There is plenty of water in the places where kangaroos live and many of the dingoes (澳洲野狗) that like to kill and eat kangaroos are not there anymore．

Kangaroos also produce (产生) the young all the year round．When a female (雌的) kangaroo gives birth , she then gets pregnant (怀孕) again immediately．The large number of kangaroos means some kangaroos don't get food to eat．They are so hungry that they break into farms and fight against other animals for food．

[104]To solve the problem, the Australian government allows a certain number of kangaroos to be killed each year．

Many people don't think that it's right to kill kangaroos but the government thinks that it is only to help the farmers．Australia sells 5 million kilos of kangaroo meat every year—it is used to make hamburgers for dogs．

Going to a British school for one year was a fantastic and exciting experience for me. ABritish school starts around 9 a.m. and ends about 3:30 p.m. It means I could stay in bed for an extra hour.

  On the first day, all the new students had a meeting. The headmaster told us about the school rules. He also told us that the best way to get respect was to devote ourselves to study and get high grades. This sounded like my school in China.

  We had to move to different classrooms for different classes. We also had different students in some classes, so it was difficult for me to remember all the faces and names.

  I found that the homework was not as heavy as what I used to get in my old school. Yet it was a bit challenging for me at first, because all the homework was in English. We had many subjects: English, History, Science, Art and so on, but we can stop studying some subjects if we have no interest in them. Then they can choose some other subjects.

  I missed Chinese food a lot at lunch. British food is very different. British people like eating desserts(甜点) which usually come after their main meal. After lunch, we usually played on the school playground or relaxed under a tree.

  I felt very lucky to experience this different way of life. I really hope to go back and study in Manchester again.
