Lots of kids hate school，a new study found. 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. Sometimes 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 mom，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.

【推荐1】Mr. Guo is a teacher from Xi’an. He asked his students to hand in their homework through a QR code(二维码). “We spent an hour or two in class learning how to generate(使产生) the codes, and in the end everything gets easier ,” said Guo, “
“The paper is not easy to keep, but the code is easy to keep and share,” Guo said. “It is worth trying to use new technology in education. Education itself is a kind of creation.
However, some parents are worried. They are afraid that their children will spend too much time on computers and less time communicating with teachers. But in fact, it’s unnecessary.

【推荐2】In Helen Keller’s writing Three Days to See, the famous writer for the blind and deaf wrote that “darkness would make him more appreciative (感激) of sight; silence would teach him the joys of sound.”
How do the blind feel about color and painting? To answer this question, Hu Jun started the Art Without Barriers project. Starting in 2016, he would go to the Zhejiang School of the Blind in Hangzhou to give art lessons to the children there.
Born in 1971, Hu Jun is a professor of art at Hangzhou Normal University in Zhejiang province.
“I prefer to think of the project as an experiment(实验),” Hu said. “It’s kind of a pity that we spend most of our time giving art lessons to normal children and ignore those with visual(视觉上的) disabilities. However, our research shows that blind children do have the ability to understand and create visual pictures.”
In the project, blind children can try out light painting, and woodblock printing. The goal is to give them confidence and help them fit into the society.
“They do have a great sense of color through touch. And in their minds, a bird singing is white, a cat fighting is black. When they can create paintings and express their feelings, they will not feel they are disadvantaged,” Hu said. “Also, when it comes to education, they should have an equal right to learn art.”
Children’s works painted during the classes are on show in museums and galleries in Zhejiang, Shanghai and overseas. Six pieces were auctioned(拍卖) and 17 were kept by personal collectors.
“Being special can be treasure rather than a regret as long as creativity lasts,” Hu said.

【推荐3】First aid is a very useful skill to have. By learning it, you could save someone’s life someday. But in China, less than 1 percent of adults have first aid knowledge, according to the China Science Communication website.
The Ministry of Education (MOE) has realized this. On Aug 24, it issued a statement along with the Red Cross Society of China. It has asked all public schools in China to provide first aid courses, including CPR training, as part of their health classes.
A 2019 survey by the State Council showed that 64.6 percent of schools already have these courses. However, the results have not been good. According to the MOE statement, future results are expected to be better.

In 1966, the US government said police officers, firefighters, middle school teachers and college instructors must receive CPR training. A 2017 survey showed that 65 percent of Americans have received CPR training.

【推荐1】It is good to keep animals in zoos. Firstly, zoos are places for people to see many different kinds of animals from all over the world. If there are no zoos, most people would never see a real tiger or a bear. Secondly, zoos look after the animals very well. The animals are always given food and cleaned on time. In the wild, it is not always possible for an animal to find food, so sometimes it goes hungry. Thirdly, zoos protect the animals. They give them a safe place to live in. In the wild, some kinds of animals are in danger now. If there are no zoos, there will be fewer kinds of animals in the world in the future.
However, some people think it is unfair to keep wild animals in cages. Some are too small for many animals, such as bears and tigers. They always look unhappy in cages.

【推荐2】Do you think high school students should read classic works of literature(文学)?
Lilian: We lack（缺乏） understanding in life so it’s likely that we may have difficulty understanding the deeper meanings under the surface of the classics. But this shouldn’t be a reason to give up reading classics. As Francis Bacon said, “Reading makes a full man; conference(谈话)a ready man; and writing an exact man.”
Harry: Classics are the treasures our ancestors left us. We have the duty to read them and pass them down through the generations. As the old Chinese saying goes. “One who is filled with knowledge always behaves with elegance(优雅).” Famous books can cultivate(培养)students’ cultural literacy(素养)and arouse their interest in culture.
Linda: Without background and life experience, students can’t resonate(与…共鸣)with authors from previous eras. What’s more, partly due to the writers’ outdated ways of thinking, there might be some misunderstandings. While reading, some students mainly focus on words and expressions without carefully reflecting on them. For this reason, reading classics might be a waste of time.
Dale: For one thing, not all classics are suitable for all students, as there are many complex(复杂的) expressions and deep ideas. For another, some classics have unique writing styles, but they may be too difficult for students to understand. If students are asked to read these classics, they probably won’t be able to understand them.
1. What is the discussion mainly about?
| A．How literary classics go out of style. |
| B．Whether high school students should read literary classics. |
| C．Why students should take part in reading competitions. |

【推荐3】Plastic (塑料) is all around us. It's in the TVs we watch at home, the desks we use at work, and the pens we write with at school, and it is even wrapped around the food we buy. Some people have had enough of plastic, though, and have chosen a new lifestyle. These people have become plasticarians, meaning they try to live life without buying or using plastic.
British student Thomas Smith decided to go plastic-free, telling reporters, "A bit of plastic you had for a second lasts longer than your lifetime." Smith tried to avoid buying anything that had plastic in it, which made getting even the simplest items, like toilet paper, difficult. Over a period of six months, he lost five kilograms in weight and finally gave up.
Beth Terry, a woman in California, has lived mostly plastic-free for more than six years. Studies have linked some kinds of plastic to cancer and heart disease, and chemicals in these plastics can influence a baby's development. That's why sonic doctors say it is important that women who are having babies in their bodies avoid eating food stored in plastic containers.
It's never too late to start reducing the amount of plastic. You can start by giving up bottled water and teas. Instead, buy a reusable stainless-steel bottle and bring drinks from home. You can also buy food from farmers' markets, where fresh produce and meat are not packaged in plastic. Finally, it's better to use soap and shampoo bars that are wrapped in paper than liquid soaps and shampoos that come in plastic bottles.
While cutting plastic out of your life all at once may be too much for you, every journey begins with one step. Choose not to use one plastic item a day and you will be on your way to a healthier life and a cleaner planet.
