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!

Tim and Kerry Meek are both teachers. They live in the UK with their two daughters: eleven-year-old Amy and nine-year-old Ella. Recently, the Meek family has become the focus of the whole country after they completed 100 different outdoor activities in one year.

     The Meek couple didn’t want their children to spend all their free time in front of the TV and become “couch tomatoes”. So about one year ago, the Meeks decided that watching TV and playing computer games were not permitted . Instead, they set 100 tasks for the two girls to do outside. Although Mr. and Mrs. Meek are not outdoor activity fans, they took part in all the activities to encourage their daughters. It turns out that the two sisters really had a good time joining activities.

     Every holiday and weekend, whether it’s sunny, rainy or snowy, the Meeks’ would set off to try the activities on their list, including hiking, sailing, climbing , skiing, and so on. The two little girls not only had a wonderful time, but also learned a lot of skills from the activities. They were even able to stand up in front of their school to give a talk for charity. “Our friends spend a lot of their free time doing things which are harmful to their health. Luckily, we’ve had the chance to experience something different.” Amy and Ella also helped their parents to draw up a new list of challenges for the next 12 months.

      Many children use the Internet to get useful knowledge and information.and to relax in

their free time.But some of them are not usingitin a good way.Here are some rules

You may know the English letters A,B and C, but do you know there are people called ABC? You may like eating bananas. But do you know there is such a thing as “banana person”? How strange! Are these people from “another earth”? No, they are just Chinese people like you and me.

ABC means American-born Chinese. An ABC is a Chinese, but was born in the United States. Sometimes, people call an ABC a “banana person”. A banana is yellow outside and white inside. So, when a person is a banana, he or she is white inside thinking like a westerner and yellow outside looking like a Chinese. Do you know why?（1）通常，美裔华人对中国以及她的语言知之甚少。Some of them do not speak Chinese. Also, they are not interested in Chinese politics.

But if ABC cannot speak Chinese, can we still call them Chinese people? Yes, of course. They are Chinese. They are overseas (海外的) Chinese.（2）These people may be citizens (公民) of another country like the US, England and Canada, but they have Chinese blood.Their parents, grandparents or even great-grandparents were from of China. They all have black eyes and black hair. But they are not Chinese citizens. They are not people of the People’s Republic of China. For example, we all know the famous scientist C.N. Yang (杨振宁).He got the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1957.Chinese people love him. But he is an American citizens.

It was 6:00 on a Monday morning. With his books in his bag, 13-year-old James Mwangi was on his way to school, the Mcedo-Beijing school in a slum（贫民窟）in the Kenyan capital of Nairobi (肯尼亚首都内罗毕). This school was built in 2001 with the help of China, for children from poor families. After getting to school, Mwangi went straight to his class to do his class work. It is usual that pupils in this school prepare for their lessons before the teacher comes.       

（83）To study in the school was once a dream for the poor boy. His mother made a living by washing clothes for others. Some days she took home nothing, and some days she could get about $ 3 — it was hardly enough to buy them a full meal for a day. Before joining the Mcedo-Beijing school, Mwangi was at home with his seven brothers, collecting rubbish.（84）The school gives these children hope for the future by providing them with a chance(机会) to get education.“For me, education is the best gift,” said Mwangi.

Fire was discovered many thousands of years ago. The first time humans saw fire was probably when a tree was destroyed by lighting(闪电). Humans soon learned how to make fire. They probably made the first fire by rubbing(摩擦)two sticks together.

Fire was very important to humans. They needed to keep warm at night. They used fire to cook food.(1)They used fire to keep enemies and wild animals away. In some parts of the world fire was used to send massages. The Indians in America, for example, used fire to make smoke as a message. In some other countries people lit fires to warm their friends of danger.

(2)火也被用来照明 Before the invention of the oil lamp(灯), humans burned sticks to get light.

One man even used fire to tell the time. He invented a candle clock. He made a candle that took exactly twelve hours to burn. Then he marked this candle in twelve equal(相等的)parts. He lit the candle and could tell the time by counting the number of parts left of the burning candle. But the candle clock did not always work well. If there was a wild blowing on the candle, it burned too quickly.

(1) How did the Indians in America use fire?

(2) What happened to the candle if there was a wind blowing on it?

It’s known that the marmots(土拨鼠) are very shy around humans, beating their tails and making loud noise with their teeth to tell other members of their colony to run away.

But when these marmots see Matteo Walch, they run to his side and show him nothing but affection(喜爱).

 The eight-year-old Matteo Walch built up a great relationship with the creatures since first being taken to see them by his nature-loving family four years ago.

The family return to visit these marmots in Groslocker in the Austrian Alps(阿尔卑斯山) for two weeks every year.

 Matteo loves those animals and they are not at all afraid of Matteo because he has a feeling towards them and they understand that.

Marmots stand at around 18cm tall and can reach up to 50cm in length. Strangely, the animals are heavier in autumn, when they can weigh up to 8kg, but 3kg in the spring months.

Michael, a teacher from Innsbruck, Austria, has taken lots of photos of Matteo and his marmot friends during the past four years.

He said,“I could spend several hours watching animals. It’s great that I have been able to document the marmot’s natural behavior around Matteo without making them afraid of me and my camera, I wanted to capture(用影片文字等记录…的原样) the animals exactly the way I see them ---the way they behave among each other.”
