【推荐1】You know you have to read “between the lines” to get the most out of anything. I want to tell you something important during your reading.

You shouldn’t mark a book which isn’t yours.     1    . If you think it useful to mark books, you will have to buy them.

There are two ways in which one can own a book. The first is to get the right by paying for it, just as you pay for clothes and furniture. But full ownership comes only when you have made it a part of yourself.     2    .

There are three kinds of book owners. The first has all the best sellers-unread and untouched. The second has a great many books.     3    . The third has a few dog-eared(翻折的) books, which are marked from front to back. Why is marking a book necessary? First, it keeps you awake. In the second place, reading is thinking.     4    . The marked book is usually the thought-through book. Finally, writing helps you remember the thoughts you had, or the thoughts the writer expressed.

If reading is to learn anything more than passing time, it must be active. The book you read for pleasure can be read in a state of relaxation, and nothing is lost. But for a great book, rich in ideas, reading must be active.     5    .

You should come up with an understanding of what you have read.

Do you know how to make friends with a group of people? Let me tell you the steps about making friends with the group.     1    

First, you need to know what kind of group they are. If people of the group are shy, never ask them “Why don’t you talk?” “Why are you quiet?” or “    2    ”. They don’t like such questions.

    3     They may use different words, like different things or have different ways of “hanging out”.

Then, the important thing is that you should try to be outgoing.     4     Remember, nobody wants to make friends with a shy person.

    5     For example, you can talk with them about the weather, the news, their hobbies or their school life.

As school kids, we have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize.         1    You may just want to become one of the ten best students in your class.

Once you have found a dream, what do you do with it? Have you ever tried to achieve your dream? Follow Your Heart by Australian writer Andrew Matthews tells us that realizing our dreams is life's biggest challenge.

You may think you're not very good at some school subjects, or that it is impossible for you to become a writer.     2     In fact, everyone can realize their dream. The first thing you must do is remember what your dream is.

    3    Keep telling yourself what you want, and you will realize your dream faster. Do this step by step. A dream cannot be realized in one day. A big dream is, in fact, many small dreams.

You must also never give up on your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to realizing it. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself.     4    Studying instead of watching TV will lead to better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book.

    5     But it is OK as long as you have the chance to learn more skills and find new interests.
