【推荐1】You love reading, and you're dying to get your hands on a book. With the right knowledge,

Go to the library first. Answer these questions. What writers do you like? What are your interests? See if the library has computers. If it does, you can use it to find a certain book by a certain writer, or keywords of your interests. If you like a certain book, search the book up and read its summary(概要).That will help you decide if the book is right for you.

Then, ask someone to recommend a good book. You can ask your older brothers or sisters, your mom, your dad, your best friend, or even your English teacher. They have something in common with you and can often make excellent book recommendations. You should ask people that like the same type of books, so that you can get books that match your need.

Join a book club , please. It helps you know who else likes the same books as you, and you can read books that other members have read and have a good discussion about them.

Finally, read the first part of each book. If that holds your attention(注意力) , read a few more pages. If it still holds your attention, then it’s probably a book for you. If you have many books, this can take much time to choose from them. Keep doing this until you have a few good books.

Success is not easy to talk about because for some people it means power, for some people it means wealth（财富）, for others it is fame（名声）or great achievements. But I have my own understanding of it. There are different ways to success.

Success means to try your best. Many people believe that success means to win. In my opinion, it means to try your best when you do everything, no matter you will win or not. When you are taking part in a long-distance race, if you keep on running as fast as you can, you are successful, although you may be the last to pass the finishing-line.

Success means to work hard. No one can be successful without any hard work. Thomas Edison succeed, because he had experimented thousands of times to find the best material for lights. Every success calls for hard work.

Success means not to lose heart. No one can always be the winner. You will certainly lose or fail some day. It is important for you not to lose heart. Nobel had failed many times when he was doing his experiments. Sometimes his lab was on fire and he was nearly killed. But he never lost heart and kept on trying. Finally he invented a new explosive（炸药）. So when you fail or meet any difficulty, just believe in yourself.

Some people understand loneliness as someone (usually an old person) sits alone, looking out of a window. However researchers have actually found that those who report experiencing loneliness the most are young people, and their understand loneliness differently. Their loneliness mainly come from the relationship with people around them.

For young people, loneliness is “as a bad feeling about a difference between the relationships they have and those they want.” It appears in three ways. Firstly, they might feel lonely when being with people who don’t really understand them or share common interests with them. Another reason is their developing sense of self-discovering who they are. The challenge is that their friends are going through the same process but might not follow the same directionl as them. So they feel lonely. The last one is that young people often import feeling lonely at school, while home is a comfortable space. But when there are difficulties at home, such as arguments with family members, they get the feeling of loneliness again and even worse.

If you find yourself feeling lonely and it seems like nothing is helping, do not give up hope. Although loneliness is often a difficult experience, it can help us to reconnect and to rethink our relationships, as a result, we can build better ones.

What’s the most enjoyable school activity among American students? The answer is the school dance. Most American high schools have two dances during the year, one in winter and the other in spring. The students like the school dance because it is a good chance for them to meet new friends and learn from each other. At the dance, most schools make some strict(严格的) rules to help create a healthy and enjoyable evening for all students. Only the students under 21 years are allowed in most schools. Some schools will even give the students a safety check before they come into the dance area. Some schools ask their students to keep a standing position (姿势) when they are dancing. That means the students can’t learn. You’d better not break the rules and enjoy yourself at the dance.
