Many people who win lots of money may find that they have a lot of friends. The new friends they make may follow them for their money but they may also leave them when all money is spent. Sometimes people can’t decide what they want to do with all the money they have won, so they try to think of what they want. In the end, most people usually decide to save the money.
There are some lottery winners who decide to give up their jobs, because they think they have enough money and don’t need to work any longer. Some big lottery winners make even bigger changes—they end their marriages. They feel that they should be with a younger or more attractive man or woman but what they don’t know is that their new money is just a bit of luck

Do you know how to deal with them? Here is some advice about these.
Learn to relax. Overwork is the main reason why so many students feel tired and stressed. Cut down some of the jobs you need to do each day so that you can only concentrate on the most important things. Leaving time for activities that are relaxing and fun. This might mean reading a good book, listening to the music, going for a walk or taking a relaxing bath.
Get a good night’s sleep. Getting enough sleep will help you keep your body and mind in the best form. If you stay up late and need to get up early for school the next day, you may not be able to concentrate on the things you need to do.
Exercise regularly and eat well. Don’t rush through your meals. Eat less junk food or fast food. Eat healthy food instead.
Get to know pleasant people. Some people are optimistic, while others not. Choose optimistic people as your friends and spend more time with them and you’ll be as happy as them.
Learn to be calm(镇定的)when you face any problem. Find out the best option（选项） from those that are in your mind. Knowing that you are able to solve problems is a good way to build up your self-confidence.
Have a happy attitude（态度）. Your attitude decides the way you see things. Is your cup half full or half empty? Learn to think more positively(积极地) about the difficulties you face. Don’t look at the half empty cup in your life.

Her parents forced her to pretend (假装) to be disabled so that they could have a second child — her little brother. After the boy’s birth, her parents gave almost all of their love to their son. An Ran became an “unwanted” child and she felt very sad. She made up her mind to live a good life by herself.
Unluckily, when she was preparing for an important exam, her parents died in a car accident.

【推荐2】I frowned (皱眉) at myself in the dressing-room mirror. I was wearing white tights and a white swim cap that hid most of my hair. I was one of 10 snowflakes (雪花) in my dance school’s Winter Wonderland show. I’d learned in science class that no two snowflakes are alike, but all of us snowflakes were wearing the same clothes.
“What’s wrong, Avery?” Grandma looked at me in the mirror. “You love to dance.”
I used to love to dance. But Ms. Tuttle gave the part of the Snow Queen to Christine. Christine got to wear a blue leotard and a feathery skirt. And she got to do a dance on stage all by herself. But the snowflakes just had to run and spin to look like a strong snowstorm.
I whispered, “No one would notice if I wasn’t there. You came all this way, but now you won’t be able to tell me apart from the other snowflakes.” Grandma was about to speak. Then something outside the window caught her eyes. She took my hand and my coat to the outside. It was snowing. Big swirling flakes. Grandma took a deep breath and said, “In Hawaii, it snows only on the very tops of mountains.”
I had seen snow lots of times, but now I tried to see it differently, like it looked new to me. I saw snowflakes flying through the air in different directions, shining brightly in the light. So many snowflakes coming together to create something magical. “Snow changes the way the whole world looks,” I said. Grandma nodded. We watched the snow for a few more minutes, even though our toes were turning to ice. Then the wind settled down and the last flakes melted (融化) away. “Aloha,” Grandma whispered to the sky. “Aloha” can mean many things, including “love”, “hello” and “goodbye”. “I don’t know when I’ll see something like that again.”
“I do,” I said. I took Grandma Lani’s hand and pulled her back inside.
When the stage lights came up and the music started, I spun and ran with all of the other snowflakes. I didn’t care if Grandma Lani could see me. I was dancing for my grandma to see snowflakes!

【推荐3】My name is Jenny. I have been volunteering for about 16 years. I got a serious illness so I had to stop working. My sister suggested that I should do voluntary work which I had never thought of before.
I then decided to start volunteering in a hospital. The volunteers were making a team and chatting and I thought I’d like to help patients in that way too. In the Chapel (小礼拜堂), we take it in turns to do prayers (祈祷) for patients and we each have a room where we go and talk to patients. In the hospital, I often make tea and speak to patients especially if I see the patients who are sitting there on their own or don’t have visitors. I go to the Chapel every Wednesday afternoon and go to work in the hospital on the second Monday in a month.
There are so many good things about volunteering meeting a lot of new people and building a friendship with them. I get as much as the patients do. I feel useful now and it’s terrific to think I am making a difference to somebody. Some people are looking forward to seeing you the next week. Volunteering is the best thing I’ve ever done.

The baby will probably be born in the Asia-Pacific region. In this area, the population growth rate is higher than anywhere else in the world.
It is just 12 years since the world’s population reached 6 billion. Official estimates say the number will tip 8 billion in 2025 and 10 billion before the end of the century.
With more and more people in the world, there will be less land and water for each person. The major problem will be feeding the new arrivals. Finding housing and medical care for everyone will also be difficult.
For now, China still has the largest population in the world, with 1.34 billion people. In the past ten years it added 73.9 million, more than the population of France and Thailand.
However, its growth has slowed and it is estimated that the population will stop increasing in 2027. By 2050, according to some experts, China’s population will be smaller than it is today.
This is thanks to the family planning policy that started about 30 years ago. In the 1970s, Chinese women had five to six children each on average. Now the number is around 1.5.

【推荐3】Hobbies are very important to a person. Without having any hobby, life won't be as colorful as it should be.
I have a number of hobbies, such as collecting stamps, playing musical instruments (乐器), reading, and doing sport activities. When I am free, I will spend time on my hobbies. When I am in a blue mood (情绪低落), I will also do my hobbies to cheer myself up.
Hobbies can help us improve our moods. Many hobbies require you to put your heart in them. For example, when you play a musical instrument, you have to practice over and over in order to perform good music. After a period if you still enjoy it, gradually it will become a hobby of yours. But remember, a hobby is like gold under the ground; no hobby will come to you unless you dig it out yourself. If you can treat study as one of your hobbies, learning will be more enjoyable. I hope all of you can find your own hobbies and also have fun from them.

Mars (火星) is a planet. It is the fourth planet from the sun and is more than 200 million kilometers from it. That is a very long way. Mars is also a very long way away from the earth but sometimes you can see it clearly at night. Most stars are white. Mars is a bit red. It is not a very big planet. It is about half the size of the earth.
Long ago, the only way to study Mars was just to look at it. People with good eyes could see some things but not everything.
Later on, it was easier, because scientists had telescopes (望远镜). They could see Mars more clearly. They learned much more about Mars this way. In the 20th century things got even better. First of all, we had spacecraft (宇宙飞船). They flew close to Mars and sent back information. Then, they sent spacecraft to fly in orbit (轨道) around Mars. Finally, spacecraft landed on Mars. Maybe one day a man will walk on Mars.
We can also land a rover (探测车). It is a machine that looks like a car. It can move around on Mars. It has cameras to take photos and it sends them back to the earth. It can study the rocks and air of Mars. It sends all this information back to the earth.
1. Mars is over 200 million kilometers away from the sun.2. Mars is much larger than the earth.
3. People with good eyes could see everything on Mars long ago.
4. People could know more about Mars with the development of technology.
5. The rover can study the water of Mars.
