The American writer Sally Seaman tells young students some smart ways to find friends. Sally says founding friendship is just like planting a tree. You plant the seed (种子) and take care of it to make it grow.
First, you should choose a friend. What makes a good friend? It is not because a person has money or good looks. A good friend should be kind and patient. For example, if you have a bad day, a good friend could listen to your complaints (抱怨) and do his or her best to help you. To make a friend, you can't be too shy. You should make each other happy and share your lives.
But things can not always be happy. Even the best friends have fights. What should you do when you have a fight with your friend? You have to talk to him or her. If he or she doesn't want to talk, you can write a letter.
There are three steps to be friends again:
Tell him or her how you are feeling, say what your friend has done wrong and explain(解释) why you did this or that.
Remember that friendship is one of the most important things in your life.

The human brain weighs about 1.4 kilograms, but it can hold much more information than most computers. However, there is another difference between humans and computers. Computers don’t forget information they are given. No one remembers everything, and luckily we don’t usually have to. But everyone can improve their memory if they want to. Here are some suggestions.
★Try to use new information at once. For example, if you meet someone who says “Hi! I’m Carlos.”, don’t just say “Hello!” Repeat the person’s name, Carlos.
★Write out what you need to remember again and again. This will help you keep it in mind longer, especially for remembering formulas(公式) or facts.
★Always review information. If you bring what you’ve learned back to your mind, they become easier to remember. For example, before you go to sleep, it’s a good idea to review the new things you learned that day.
★Discuss with a friend. It is always easier to remember things through discussions. You can have a discussion about what’s right and what’s wrong, and it will lead to the right answer.
★永远不要说你记忆力不好。You can always do something to help improve your memory. And everyone’s memory gets better if they use it often enough.

“Best-before” and “use-by” dates are more important.learn to know the different periods of food and know what foods are good for. For example, black bananas are proper for baking, fresh vegetables are good in soups, bread that is not fresh can be turned into small pieces.
Use the freezer (冷冻室）
The freezer can keep food fresh until you are ready cook them, and then store the cooked food until you’re ready to eat it. It’s also the best place for the remaining food. Mark the date of the food nearly, so it’s easy to find the food you need to eat first and will never leave them there for too long.

【推荐1】It happens to all of us. It is the end of the term and your teacher gives you your report card. You look at it and your heart stops because you realize that your parents are going to be very angry.
Grades are how most schools evaluate (评价) students and they are pretty important. The problem is that we do not always get the satisfied grades. After a bad report card, it is important to know what to do next. Here is some advice for you.
The first thing to do is to talk to your teacher. Find out what caused your bad grades. Was the problem a bad test, being not active in class, or a failure to complete homework？Next, if the problem is something you can solve on your own (such as not doing your homework), promise to change your behavior! However, if you have been studying hard and still got a bad grade, you probably need some help with your classes. Talk to your teacher and explain your situation. He or she will tell you the exact place where you can receive the help you need. Then, plan to use some useful ways to improve your grades. Write down the plan and have it ready when you take the report card to your parents. That’s a good way to make your parents less angry.
While all parents want their children to get good grades, most understand that not every report card will be perfect. The important thing is that you show your parents you have made full preparations to improve your grades for next time. Learn from your failures, and you will make progress!

Last week on the Good Cook on CCTV-2, I learnt how to make the kebabs（烤肉串）. And I want to tell you how to make them.
Before starting to cook, you should buy some meat, vegetables and some sauce. Of course, you need tools（工具）, too, like some skewers（串肉扦）, the barbecue（烤肉架） and the charcoal（木炭）.
Now you can start! First, cut up some meat and vegetables and put them in a bowl with your favorite sauce. Mix them up. Twenty minutes later, put the meat and vegetables on the skewers. Then put charcoal in the barbecue and light it. After that, put the kebabs on the barbecue and cook them for 10 to 15 minutes, turning them over from time to time. Finally, take the kebabs off the barbecue and enjoy them!

【推荐2】One day Madison's teacher found her sitting alone at lunch, looking sad and upset. She could hardly eat the butter sandwich that she usually couldn't wait to eat. "What's the matter, Madison?" the teacher asked. Later that afternoon, Trey was standing alone by the basketball court after school. Trey's mom asked him why he didn't go to play with Zack and Steve, who were shooting hoops. He told his mom that he just didn't feel like it, so they walked home.
But the truth was that Trey and Madison were facing the same problem: They both felt left out, and their feelings were hurt, they felt lonely.
Madison was so sad that he didn't want to eat, and Trey was so mad that when he got home he slammed his bedroom door. The kids who had been their friends before weren't their friends all that time.
What can you do if you're feeling lonely? Let's read some kids' advice on how to deal with loneliness.
"Take something to school and if someone asks to play with you, say yes. They might ask you to play with them next time." (Caleb)
"Listen to music or learn to play an instrument." (Rizwan)
"Help mom or Dad to do jobs. You'll have someone to talk to and you'll learn how to do things when you grow up" (Natalia)
"Talk about it with other people who do the same things, and then you can be friends" (Sean)

You’re going to a senior high school, aren’t you? But maybe your friendship can’t continue because you and your friends are in different schools. If you are not sure whether your friendship can last, there are many things you can do to keep it strong.
Trust is very important in keeping any relationship strong. If you trust the person whom you have a good relationship with completely and the other person also trusts you in the same way, then you two have a good relationship.
You can remember important dates of your friends such as their birthdays and wish them or give gifts to them on the special days. Many people say they don’t have enough money for the gifts, but remember friendship is not about money. You can choose something small and inexpensive for their gifts or send online cards.
Sometimes distance (距离) makes relationships even closer. So, when you are far from your friends, there are many ways you can keep in touch. You can use emails, WeChat or QQ, and you can also write a blog and share your daily life activities with your friends.
If there is anything that makes you happy, share it with your friends. Listen to their thoughts as well. If they have a great achievement, send them your congratulation as soon as possible.
I have seen good friendships and then there is unhealthy competition between two friends. Though this may not happen in many cases, it is better to keep this idea in mind since it may happen to you.
