【推荐1】You love reading, and you're dying to get your hands on a book. With the right knowledge,

Go to the library first. Answer these questions. What writers do you like? What are your interests? See if the library has computers. If it does, you can use it to find a certain book by a certain writer, or keywords of your interests. If you like a certain book, search the book up and read its summary(概要).That will help you decide if the book is right for you.

Then, ask someone to recommend a good book. You can ask your older brothers or sisters, your mom, your dad, your best friend, or even your English teacher. They have something in common with you and can often make excellent book recommendations. You should ask people that like the same type of books, so that you can get books that match your need.

Join a book club , please. It helps you know who else likes the same books as you, and you can read books that other members have read and have a good discussion about them.

Finally, read the first part of each book. If that holds your attention(注意力) , read a few more pages. If it still holds your attention, then it’s probably a book for you. If you have many books, this can take much time to choose from them. Keep doing this until you have a few good books.

【推荐1】What is the most important thing in the world? I think it is health. You can take away our money, house, car, or even our clothes and we can survive. But if our health were taken away, we would surely die. That is why we always try to eat in a healthy way and exercise regularly (定期的). In order to eat healthily, I usually avoid (避免) eating food high in fat, like French fries or cookies. I eat little meat. I eat a lot of vegetables and fresh fruits. Taking exercise every day helps us build a strong body. Regular exercise is an important part of keeping me healthy. What’ s more, I think friends are an important part of our health. Many studies show that people with a wide range of social contacts (社会交往) get sick less than those who don’t. I always feel better when I am with friends than when I am alone. When I am with my friends, I always laugh. Laughing is also an important part of health. I like to laugh with my friends. By eating properly and exercising regularly, I can keep my body at a proper weight and keep healthy. By spending time with my friends, I can keep my mind as well as my body happy. These things sound easy to do, but not many people can manage them. I think a strong will is necessary if we want to keep healthy.

【推荐1】Exam time is the most stressful（压力重的）period of the year. You have worked all school term on your classes and now it’s the time to prove what you have learned. With so much at stake（处于成败关头）, it is easy to get stressed about your exams. However, with the right amount of hard work and focus you can pass your tests easily. When I was in school, I used to get very stressed over my exams. So did my friends. Some people stopped eating and others ate too much! Some gave up and others burned themselves out! The most important thing to remember when studying is not to feel frightened! Take the middle path—stay calm, eat healthily and get a rest. Pushing yourself too hard is just as dangerous as not studying enough. A tired, overworked brain is just as useless as a lazy, empty one! So, what should you do? Arrange a time each day for study and a time for relaxation. You may have less time to relax than usual, but you still need to let your brain rest for a few moments. Get plenty of sleep. If you are tired, information will not stick in our memory. Finally eat healthy foods that fuel your body and mind.

It does no good to think too much about your exams. Some students may think that the rest of their life depends on them. That’s not true. Instead, just view the exams as another difficulty you will overcome. You have overcome all kinds of difficulties in your life so far. With the right amount of work and focus, you will pass your exams with flying colours! High school is right around the corner!
