It was the early autumn of my first year at a middle school，and my old school was far away. As a result，no one knew who I was. I was very lonely，and afraid to speak to anyone.
Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing，I felt my heart break. I couldn't talk with anyone about my problems.
Then one day，when my classmates were talking happily with their friends，I was sitting at my desk unhappily as usual. At that moment，a boy entered the classroom. I didn't know who he was. He passed by me and then turned back. He looked at me，with a smile.
Suddenly，I felt the touch of something bright and friendly. It made me feel happy and warm. That smile changed my life. I started to talk with other students and made friends. Day by day，I became closer to everyone in my class. The boy with the lucky smile has become my best friend now.
One day I asked him why he had smiled，but he couldn't remember doing so！
It doesn't matter because all the dark days have gone. I believe that the world is what you think it is. If you think it is lonely，you might always be alone. So smile at the world and it will smile back.

【推荐3】In October, temperatures across China begin to go down. Do you have a mood change as it turns to winter? Many people do. For about 5% people in the northern half of the United States, cooling temperatures and shorter days usually mean the start of seasonal affective disorder (季节性情绪失调), or sadness, arriving in the fall or winter. It usually starts with the appetite (食欲) for foods like French fries or ice cream. You may want to sleep for long hours, have difficulty getting up in the morning and feel tired at work.
The exact (确切的) cause of sadness isn’t clear. But the good news is that we know it has something to do with the changing seasons. So you can do something to get away from it. The doctor will use light therapy (光疗法) for sadness. But you can only do that in the hospital. Getting outside can also help with it. For example, walking outside 20 or 30minutes each day could help a lot. Also, instead of eating a lot of sweet food, it is important to eat foods that are good to one’s mood, like black chocolate.
Too afraid to welcome winter? Remember, sadness is seasonal. If winter comes, can spring be too far behind?

【推荐2】Homework should be done as soon as you get home from school. If you have after-school activities, the homework should be done first. At the same time, it is fine to allow for a snack (零食) break and also to allow for stretching (拉伸的) breaks.
Also, you should remember that it is your duty to do your homework. Next time, when you want to depend on Mom and Dad for help, please try to find the answer yourself, because you will learn much, much more that way.
When you have a question, especially something about a science or math, don’t always turn to your teacher! It is a good idea to try to find the answer yourself. If this doesn’t work, you can also look at the materials (材料) in the back of the book. They may guide you to the pages you should look at to help you understand the problem.
Finally, while doing homework, don’t think about or do other things. Keep working. Setting a time limit (制定限制) often helps with this. Different ages decide different amounts of time. 10—15 minutes is good for a child that’s aged 6—8. A time of 20—30 minutes is about eight for a child aged 9—12. Kids can keep studying for 30—45 minutes from the ages of 13 to 15. This, of course, depends on your abilities to pay attention and stay on tasks (任务).

【推荐3】Have you noticed the number of people listening to music very loudly on the trains and buses? Their music is so loud that you can even hear clearly what the singers are singing. The problem is that the music is coming out from their earphones!
Doctors warn young people about the dangers of listening to music from earphones so loudly for a long time. In the United States, studies show that musicians and people who work at performance halls have experienced hearing problems after exposure(暴露) to loud music for just up to 30 minutes a day. These people slowly lose their hearing and need to turn up the music even more loudly to hear it properly, possibly causing further damage to it.
As we know, the ear has three parts-the outer part, the middle ear and the inner ear. There are tiny hairs in the inner ear. It is the tiny hairs that receive the soundwaves and then change them into what the brain can understand. Exposure to loud noise can damage the tiny hairs and this causes hearing loss. Usually, this kind of hearing loss can be treated if the noise isn't very sudden and loud. Exposure to loud noise for too long a time can cause lasting damage. People with serious hearing loss may need to have an operation, but even after the operation they may not hear as well as before.
You know you have been listening to loud music too long when you start hearing ringing noises in your ear. They may be signs that the tiny hairs in your inner ear have been damaged. You must give up listening to loud music immediarely.
So next time you listen to music using your earphones, make sure it is not loud enough for others to hear. Remember that once hearing loss sets in, there is no turning back.
