We asked 200 people of different ages about resolutions, and here are the results.

Mr. White called on Lucy to come to the blackboard. He felt that students teaching lessons was a great way to learn for all the students. Lucy slowly made her way to the front of the class. Scary feelings was full of her heart. She was afraid that she couldn’t work it out.

“Lucy, would you solve for ‘x’ in this equation (方程)?” Lucy passed a smile on her face and picked up a piece of chalk (粉笔).

“Oh. I wish I could fall into a hole right now,” thought Lucy. She had a look at the math book on the desk beside her. Surprisingly enough, Lucy saw the answers to the questions in the teacher’s book.

Upset and surprised, Lucy began rubbing her eyes, because her vision (视力) didn’t seem a bit clear. She looked back at the book for the second time. This time, she could see them clearly. But she thought to herself: “should I use the good luck?”

She closed her eyes. Then she decided to solve the problem by herself. “Great job!” said Mr.White, “you did it correctly.”

Lucy quickly walked back to her seat. She was happy and seemed more confident. It was clear that she didn’t need any help from others. It turned out that the best way to learn is to believe that you can do it!

Labor (劳动) classes at school can help students be active (活跃), creative (有创造力) and happy in life. At the same time, students can learn the meaning of labor. So from last September students in middle school began to have at least one labor class a week.

There are many interesting labor classes now. Students from a school in Chongqing have a class about catching fish in the river and learning about their habits. In Shanxi Province, students make tofu with beans. They also cook it by themselves. The labor classes make them feel happy when they cook delicious meals. Some students also keep small animals at home like chickens. This helps students learn how to care for living things and also make them more interested in biology.

According to the new policy (政策) middle school students need to learn the following skills in labor classes: clean their rooms and classrooms, pick proper (合适) clothes for travel, cook three or four meals, and take part in labor activities such as planting or fishing.

A study shows that doing labor work is good for students. The students can get more self-control (自制力), do better in school, and feel happier from it. Labor classes not only teach them important skills but also are a great way to relax during a busy school day. So which kind of labor skill do you want to learn most?

A．

B．

Now students’ English handwriting (书写) gets worse and worse. That makes their teachers feel worried. Is your English handwriting beautiful? If not， here are four steps that really work.

Use paper that has lines.

Using paper that has lines can keep your writing straight when you write English words or sentences.     26     Be sure to fill the lined space completely. And make sure those capital letters (大写字母) are written properly.

Slow down.

If your handwriting is hard to read, try slowing down a little.     27     If you write too fast, it’s hard for you to stop where you should, and even worse, you may make more mistakes.

    28    

When you hold your pencil in the right way, writing is much easier. Some kids press down really hard when they write. That makes the handwriting not nice. Try to relax yourself and don’t hold the pencil so hard.     29     If you do so, people will think you are a student with a good habit.

Draw more pictures.

Drawing can improve your handwriting. You need to use the skills to control your pencil better when you are drawing pictures. Even though you have no chance to draw at school, you can practice by yourself at home.

    30     Imagine you are a world famous movie star or a well-known sports player. What do you do when fans run up to you? Give them your autographs (签名), of course!

One day, fifty students went to a hall and listened to a lecture (讲座). During the lecture the speaker asked the students to play a ________. He brought them to a room and gave each student a ________. He asked them to write their ________ on the balloons. Then he ________ the balloons and put them into another room.

Then the speaker asked the students to follow him and took them to the room with fifty balloons. He told the students to ________ their own balloons in five minutes. After hearing the speaker’s words, every student hurried together to look for their own balloon. Every student rushed to the balloons quickly. What a mess! Five ________ later, no one could find their own balloon.

After playing the game, the speaker laughed. He asked every student to collect one balloon and gave ________ to the student whose name was on it. In five minutes each student got their own balloon.

This is like our life. We are looking for ________ in a hurry, but we don’t know ________ it is. If we help others find their happiness, we can also get our own happiness ________. Don’t you think so?

The Internet is changing the world. It’s becoming an important     41     of our lives.

The Internet makes     42     lives more interesting. We can get all kinds of information on the Internet and     43     it with others. We can make friends and share our ideas and feelings with each other by sending emails or     44     online. We can also do shopping, study, listen to music and watch     45    . This helps make life     46     than before.     47    , the Internet is not perfect. We should use it     48    . Everyone can post information, and not all of it is true. Some people use the Internet to hurt     49     and try to get money by cheating. Some young people usually spend too much time     50     games.

The Internet can change our lives for the better, but we should use it carefully.

What do you think of artificial intelligence (人工智能)? Will computers even be smarter than people? Scientists say that computers will     51     as smart as humans (人类) in 50 years, even become the greatest things on the earth in the future. That is a wonderful idea,     52     I disagree.

It’s true that computer scientists make something fantastic. They put chips (芯片) in people’s brains (大脑) to help them     53     diseases (疾病). They successfully make computers understand many things. And they can give people a meaningful answer most of     54     time.

However, humans can do a lot more. We can laugh and cry. We can enjoy a good film or an interesting book. In a word, I would say that in 50 years, computers     55     do many kinds of things. But I believe we will always be higher than artificial intelligence.
