The new term is coming soon. What is your resolution? Let’s share it!

Once upon a time, a rich old man lived alone in a big house. He was growing weaker day by day and couldn’t take care of himself, so he decided to hire（雇佣） a nurse to help with housework and take care of him.

One day, the old man interviewed（采访） two nurses—Anthony and Peter. Anthony happened to be a handsome young man, while Peter looked quite ordinary（普通的）. The old man asked Anthony to make tea for him. After Anthony left, the old man turned to Peter and said,   “Anthony has given me a very bad description（描述） of you. He said you are rude and untrustworthy（不可信赖的）. Is this right?”

Peter thought for a minute and said, “If Anthony says this, there must be something wrong with me. I should take some time to change these things.”

The old man was very impressed（印象深刻） by Peter’s character. Then Anthony returned with a cup of tea for the old man. The old man sent Peter to make breakfast for him. He then turned to Anthony and told him, “Peter spoke very poorly（糟糕）of you while you were gone. What do you think about this?” After hearing this, Anthony became angry and started cursing（咒骂）.

In the end, the old man hired Peter. Although Peter looked quite ordinary, he had inner beauty（内在的美）.

From a plane you can see the fields, cities, mountains or rivers below. If we go into space, we see more and more of the earth. People and man—made satellites (卫星) are sent into space to look at the earth, the stars and other planets and learn more about them.

The moon is our nearest neighbor in space. It is our satellite and men have visited it already. It is smaller than the earth. Plants can’t grow on the moon because there is no air or water on it. There are lots of mountains on the moon. At night, it is very cold on the moon. It is not comfortable to live on the moon if possible. On the moon, there is much dust here and there. The things on the moon are much lighter than the things on the earth.

The moon hasn’t its own light. It shines back (反射) the light of the sun. When the sun is shining on the side of the moon that faces us, it looks like a great round ball. We can’t see the moon when the sun is shining on the side of the moon that faces away from us.

In fact, the moon isn’t as near as it looks. It is 380, 000 kilometers away from the earth. Of course we can fly to the moon in a spaceship. It only takes more than three days to get there by spaceship.

Your schooldays should be some of the best and happiest days of your life. How can you get the most from them, and make sure you do not waste this wonderful chance to learn?     46    

Be active about school. Don’t say things are difficult or boring.     47     Join in lots of activities. Be quick to put your hand up. Go round the school with a big smile.

    48     Do not say you will do things tomorrow. Tomorrow you have other things to do. If you get behind the class, it is very difficult to get back in front.

Talk about problems. Sometimes they are only the result of misunderstanding.     49     You are young. No one thinks you can do everything!

Plan your time.     50     Go and play a sport, learn the piano, work on a project, read a book, practice English, or help someone with problems. There are always a lot of things to do.

Follow my advice, and have a happy school life!

Students these days often have a lot of worries. Sometimes they have problems with their schoolwork, and sometimes with their friends. What can they do about this? Some people believe the     61     thing is to do nothing. Laura Mills, a teenager from London,     62    . “Problems and worries are normal in life,” says Laura. “But I think     63     someone helps a lot.” Unless we talk to someone, we’ll     64     feel worse. Robert Hunt feels the same way as Laura. “It is best not to run away from our problems. We should always try to solve them.” He thinks the     65     step is to find someone you trust to talk to. This person doesn’t need to be an expert like     66    . Students often forget that their     67     have more experience, and are always there to help them. In English, we say that     68     a problem is like cutting it in half.

Maybe you are an average (普通的) student. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not true. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here’s how.

Plan your time carefully. When you plan your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do. A weekly plan may be helpful for you. In this way, you will not worry too much about your study.

Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space. The space may be a desk or just a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials(材料). When you sit down, you can go over your notes there.

Make good use of your time in class. Take advantage(优势) of class time to listen to everything the teacher says. Really listening in class means fewer jobs later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.
