A new study finds that lots of kids hate school. Usually this kind of feeling doesn’t last long. But what happens if you feel this way too much? School is a fact of life and getting a good education can help you build the kind of future life you want. So let’s talk about school and what to do when you don’t like it.
If you don’t like school, the first step is to find out why. You might not like school because you don’t have enough friends, or maybe you don’t get along with your teacher. Sometime it’s a big problem with your classes and schoolwork. You may be getting farther and farther behind, and it may seem like you’ll never catch up.
When you know why you don’t like school, you can start taking steps to make things better. It’s a good idea to talk to someone about your problems with school. Your mum, dad, teacher or school counselor（顾问）will be able to help you. Another good idea is to write down your feelings about school in a notebook. It’s a great way to let out emotions（情绪）. Remember you don’t have to share what you’ve written with others.

Wuyi Rock Tea is a kind of Oolong tea. The tea trees grow on rock cracks (岩缝) in Wuyi Mountain in Fujian. That’s why it’s called rock tea.
Wuyi Rock Tea is famous for its rich smell. It has a fruity, floral (花香的) and even mineral (矿物质的) smell. The best kind is Dahongpao.
With its long history, Wuyi Rock Tea dates back to the Shang Dynasty (16th century — 11th century BC). People used to send it to the emperor (皇帝) as a gift. In 2006, the skills of making Wuyi Rock Tea were added to China’s national intangible cultural heritage list (非物质文化遗产名录). In March 2021, President Xi Jinping visited a tea garden in Wuyi Mountain.
Zhang Huichun, 65, is a master of making Wuyi Rock Tea. In 1980, he learned to make the tea and opened a tea factory. It took him 10 years to learn the skills.
There are 13 steps to make it. Drying, shaking and roasting (焙火) are three of them. When Zhang shakes tea leaves, he has to decide when to stop by looking at the color. “From shaking a few times to hundreds of times, only years of experience can help you find it out,” Zhang said.
The last step — roasting — is also important. It often takes more than 20 hours! “Every 50 minutes, you have to turn over the leaves, or it might burn (烧焦),” Zhang said. He often stays up late to roast the tea.
Although already good at it, Zhang said he is still learning. “Every step is full of changes — different tea trees and weather. Every time is an adventure (冒险).”
To help more tea makers, Zhang often works with schools to teach the skills. “It’s my responsibility (责任) to pass on the skills,” he said.
1. Wuyi Rock Tea is called rock tea because ________.| A．it is a kind of Oolong tea | B．the tea trees grow in mountains |

World Book Day
It falls on April 23rd every year. It was set up by UNESCO in 1995 to encourage people especially teenagers, to discover the pleasure of reading. It is also the day to honor（纪念）great writers, for example, William Shakespeare, who were born and died on that day.
Reading builds a bridge between our life and the unknown world. In many foreign countries, people read at any time. Even backpackers（背包旅行者）enjoy reading books when they’re on a break at the beach, or relaxing from a hike.
In most US middle schools, teachers give students a reading list every few weeks. Most of the books are easy to read like youth novels. Some schools hold competitions by asking them details（细节）of a book.
How to form a good reading habit
● Read in short periods. The minutes on the way to and from school, 10 minutes when waiting for friends, and 15 minutes before going to sleep.
● Make your own reading list. Your list can be the best-selling books on famous websites like The New York Times or Dangdang. com, or books your teacher recommends（推荐）.
● Talk about your reading with your family or friends. It doubles the fun to read.

"Most local stories are based on a larger theme, " American storyteller Opalanga Pugh says, "Cinderella (灰姑娘), or the central idea of a good child protected by her goodness, appears in different forms in almost every culture of the world. "
Working with students in schools, Pugh helps them understand their own cultures and the general messages of the stories. She works with prisoner too, helping them knowing who they are by telling stories that her listeners can write, direct, and act in their own lives. If they don't like the story they are living, they can rewrite the story. Pugh also works to help open up lines of communication between managers and workers.

【推荐1】When I was younger, I wished for a Porsche and a big house. That was my idea of success. I took all the advanced classes possible and took the exams with my mind set on going to a key school. I just knew that I would somehow become famous and be able to afford that car and the dream house. All the way through junior year, my mind was planning this beautiful future.
Then in the eleventh grade, many losses changed my mind. First, one of my friends died at the age of 16. Soon after, my great-grandmother passed away, and on the same day, my beloved fourth-grade teacher. They left me not knowing what to do or where to go. Death had never touched me so closely.
After a long period of emptiness, it finally struck me; life is not promised and neither is my future success. While I was going through the actions in an attempt to achieve material success, I was not enjoying my daily life. I was just existing. I realized that life has more purposes than getting materials, which will only be yours until you can no longer keep up with the payments. I realized that finding inner peace, purpose and happiness will stick with you forever and that is real success.
Enjoying life's great changes makes a person more successful than a wealthy person who is not satisfied and takes everything for granted(把……当成理所当然). The summer before senior year, my attitude changed greatly. Instead of memorizing facts, I began learning information. Instead of focusing on the future, I focused on today and the successes that come with it.
I still make excellent grades, but now I spared weeks to studying instead of preparing for exams, and I think about the future with a deeper sense of meaning. Success, just like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder(旁观者). For me, being successful means truly living life each day, being thankful, and affecting the world.
1. The main idea of the first paragraph is ________.| A．the writer drew a beautiful picture for his future |
| B．the writer was an intelligent student at school |
| C．the writer was mad for success |
| D．the writer devoted himself to material success |
| A．living | B．fighting | C．exciting | D．disappearing |
| A．People can truly enjoy daily life by trying to achieve material success. |
| B．Success can only be measured with a Porsche and a big house. |
| C．People should concentrate on today and success will follow afterwards. |
| D．The pursuit of inner peace, purpose and happiness is a real success. |
| A．he couldn’t afford a Porsche and a big house |
| B．some of his loved persons passed away |
| C．he wanted to enjoy his life’s great changes |
| D．it was too difficult for him to get good grades |
| A．advise us to have a correct attitude towards success |
| B．inspire us to lead an active life each day |
| C．remind us to set a goal for our life |
| D．advise us to work hard to achieve our success |
【推荐2】My name is Tim. Daddy didn't know how to show love. He went to work every day and blamed (责备) me for the mistakes I had made when he came home.
Once I broke my leg and it was Mum who held me in her arms all the way to the hospital.
Later, Dad pulled the car right up to the door of the hospital.
They asked him to move it, saying the space was saved for the ambulance(救护车). Dad shouted, “What do you think this is? A tour bus?”
At my birthday parties, Dad always seemed out of place. He just kept himself busy blowing up balloons, setting up tables, and welcoming the guests. It was Mum who carried the cake with the candles on it for me to blow out.
When I learned to ride a bike, I asked him not to leave me alone, but he said it was time. I fell and Mum ran to pick me up, but he stopped her. I was so mad that I showed him that I could ride it myself. He just smiled.
When I went to college, Mum did all the writing. He just sent money and a little note about how great his garden looked now just because I wasn't playing football on it.
Whenever I called home, he acted like he wanted to talk but always said, “Wait, Tim. I'll get your mother.”
When I got married, Mum cried.
He just blew his nose loudly and left the room.
Daddy just didn't know how to show love, unless—
Was it possible he showed it and I didn't recognize it?
