QUESTIONS: How do you make decisions? What advice can you give to other classmates?
 JACK 2:46 p. m.When I’m having trouble with a decision, I usually write things down. Sometimes I write its advantages and disadvantages. I did that when I was trying to choose between Spanish and German classes. In the end, I chose Spanish, because it’s similar to French which I have already learned. |  EMILY 3:19 p. m.When I need to make a decision, I always talk to people that I trust. Sometimes it’s enough to talk about the problem and listen to what others think of it. Other time, I ask for practical advice. I usually ask my friends or relatives. They are patient and always have time to listen to. |
 BRYAN 9:24 a. m.I think it’s wrong to make decisions quickly so I prefer to think carefully about all the choices. For example, I had to choose a topic for a history speech about Ancient Rome. Before making the final decision, I read lots of articles because there was a lot of information that I could use. |  SUSAN 5:53 p. m.Sometimes I think too much when I have to make a decision.

You, teenagers, spend nearly half of your working hours at home. Studying in correct ways is important. So, what are the best ways to study at home? Here are some of the best ideas for healthy study habits.
Create an area for studying
Where you study is important. It should be quiet, with good light to read by. You need enough room to spread out your books and notes. A table or desk works well, which should be comfortable. But it mustn’t be too comfortable. Do not study on your bed, for example. You might fall asleep!
Cut out the noise
Some people study better in silence. Others like to have a little noise, like soft music playing. Go with whatever helps you focus.
Cut out the distractions
Give yourself a break from social media. Put your phone away. And turn off the television. All these things pull you away from what you are trying to learn. Tell the people you live with that you are studying and need time alone to work.
Take breaks
Treat yourself after reading something, working through a math problem, or completing some other task you set out to do. Get up, step away from your work and move your body. Go outside for a few minutes and get some fresh air.
Eat so-called “brain foods” that are good for you
Foods like nuts, seeds, yogurt, berries and fish help your mind stay strong. Sugar may be attractive—especially chocolate, a favorite of this writer, but too much sugar will give you an energy “crash’. And, don’t forget to drink plenty of water.
One more thing, when you study, think good thoughts! Avoid bad thoughts like, “I’ll never be ready for this test.” Instead, tell yourself what you can do: “I can understand and remember this material!”
1. According to the passage, the distractions refer to ________.| A．chocolate | B．breaks |
| C．social media | D．soft music |
| A．comfortable environment is not good for studying |
| B．teens should study in a big room with a table or desk |
| C．having a rest after you recite a passage is a good study habit |
| D．teens should open the window to get fresh air when they study |
| A．Teens should believe in themselves when they study. |
| B．Sugar is the most popular among teenagers. |
| C．Parents need to go out for a walk when their kids study. |
| D．Television should be turned off because it is useless for teens. |

【推荐3】As someone who has always liked Chinese food in America, I got the chance to learn more about Chinese food and dining culture when I moved to China.
When I had only been in China for a short while, I saw a whole fish just looking at me straightly from a plate for the first time. And later, I tried a plate of chicken feet, which we don’t eat in the US. Now, I have tried many different, typical Chinese dishes.
Unlike eating separately in the US, eating in China is a social event. It’s common that a group of people sit around the table and enjoy food together. It troubled me a lot at first. Not only were there a number of foods that I didn’t know, but my chopstick skills weren’t exactly top-notch (一流的).
But hot pot is great for those who are truly looking forward to trying new foods. I love hot pot, as do most of the people I know here. Making your own sauce, picking out everything and choosing what you will cook it in — it’s the politest way to play with your food. My favorites are different meatballs and mushrooms, but I do love to try different things. And while pig brain was of course off-putting at first, it was actually better than it sounded.
For the most part, I order food through an app. When I first started doing this, I largely had to go by just the pictures. And of course, I’ve made mistakes-either ordering jiaozi with an unexpected filling or underestimating (低估) the pepper symbols next to a menu.
I’ve definitely found that I have favorites. I used to have spicy (辣的) tomato and egg almost three times a week. I also enjoy lamb (羊肉) baozi and sijidou, along with too many other dishes to name.
With a colorful array (大堆) of food, it seems like there is always something new to try, something yet to be discovered. And I’m sure there are more food experiences to come.
