Strawberries look nice, but a light pressure can make them out of shape. Nowadays, there are many young people who are just like strawberries. They easily break down when they face difficulties. They don’t know what to do when they are in trouble. They have a common name — strawberry kids.
Why are many students so easy to break down? Parents and schools are a main reason. Parents do almost everything for them in their daily life. while schools care more about their grades instead of developing their personality (个性).
Liu Yue, 13, is from Fujian. His mom hardly criticizes him and he always feels good about himself. When a teacher criticized him strictly, he felt surprised and sad. He began to doubt his ability.
Students should do something to make themselves mentally strong (意志坚强). An expert said, “When you are in trouble, don’t ask for help too quickly. You should try to deal with problems first by yourself. I also advise you to take an active part in sports and social activities. That can make you mentally strong.”
Growing up is not just a happy process. Pains also go along with it. The most important thing is to face the pains bravely and learn from them.

A group of American scientists do a study among the local kids aged between 8 and 13.

【推荐1】In 2019, one subway line in Jinan, Shandong Province became the first in China to start the use of 3D facial recognition（识别）technology. After downloading the required app—the Jinan Metro app, passengers can enter the station just by looking into a screen at the turnstile（旋转栅门）. The process takes around two seconds, which is faster than scanning a QR code（扫描二维码）. The new technology greatly speeds up entry times. According to a staff member at Jinan Rail Transit Group, about 30 to 40 passengers can pass through the turnstile every minute.
Today facial recognition is more widely used in our lives. At KFC stores across China, customers can order their meals by scanning their faces in front of a self-serving screen, which has been around since 2017. With the ATMs of banks like the Agricultural Bank of China customers can withdraw cash by scanning their faces, without the need for a bank card or even a mobile phone. At some airports like Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport, the security（安全） check process can be completed in about l2 seconds thanks to facial recognition technology.

【推荐2】People often ask me for suggestions about how to learn English. As for it, everyone is different. I’ll share some of my experience. I once took a school year English course in Wuhan University, but I mostly learned English on my own.
One thing I can tell you is that, once you’ve started learning, you should try to think in English as much as you can. If you see something when you’re riding your bike or walking down the street, just think about “How would I say them in English?” At first, it might be with simple words or phrases, but later you should think about longer phrases and sentences. Now I’m in America, and for most of the time, I would think in English and speak it directly. It’s amazing how much this helps.
For several years after I started learning, I was often afraid of talking with others in English because I didn’t want to make mistakes. Finally I got it over. And while traveling in America, I’d try to hang out with friends who couldn’t speak Chinese, so that I’d have no choice but to speak English. And I also decided that if I said something stupid and other people laughed at me, then so be it. After that, my English started improving much more quickly.
Besides, it may be a good idea to ask your American friends to look at the way you’re writing, and give you some suggestions for improvement.
1. The writer learned English in Wuhan University for about_______.| A．a week | B．a month | C．a year | D．a term |

| B．To tell us how to learn English by the writer’s learning experience. |
| C．Not to afraid of making mistakes. |
| D．To ask your friends to learn English together. |
Experiencing life is a kind of learning.
Take care of your body. Life always loves those people who look good. So it’s important for you to try your best to make you look best. I mean dressing nicely, exercising regularly and eating healthily.
Be clear about the power of focus. If you fail in the lifetime, maybe it’s mainly because of broken focus. If you focus on the goals that are important to you, you will achieve them. What separates the winners from the losers is that the winners learn to focus on their goals.
| A．If you take care of your body, you will live longer and more happily. |
