Dear Mary, These days, I have problems with my study. In school I can’t listen to teachers carefully because I always feel tired and sleepy. I don’t spend time with friends after class either, because I think it’s a waste (浪费) of time. I even miss writing some answers in the test. At home, I can’t get my homework done every night. My parents don’t let me stay up. So I have to get up early the next morning to finish it. Lately, I even get a bad headache. How can I solve these problems? Yours, Liu Ya

Dear Liu Ya, When you have problems listening to teachers carefully in class, you can ask your teachers or desk mate to remind (提醒) you often. Then spending time talking about many different things with friends can make you happy. It’s not a waste of time. As for homework, when it’s hard to finish it, one thing you can try is making plans by yourself. You can ask your parents to help you. You must take a break if you don’t feel well. You might be surprised but a short rest can help you get more done! Lastly, if you don’t worry and have enough sleep, your headache will leave you. Yours, Mary

【推荐2】As graduation day approached, excitement increased. Being out of high school meant I was finally coming of age. Soon I would be on my own, making my own decisions, doing what I wanted without someone looking over my shoulder and it meant going to school with boys—a welcome change coming from an all-girl high school. There was never any question in my mind that I would go to a college away from home.
       My mother’s idea, on the other hand, was just the opposite. Trying her best not to force her preferences on me, she would subtly ask whether I had considered particular schools—all of which happened to be located in or near my hometown of Chicago.
       Then panic set in. My feelings took a 180-degree turn. I really didn’t want to leave high school at all, and it was questionable whether I wanted to grow up after all. It had been nice being respected as a senior by the underclass students for the past year; I didn’t enjoy the idea of being on the bottom rung of the ladder again.
       Despite months of expectation, nothing could have prepared me for the impact of the actual day. As the familiar melody(旋律) of “Pomp and Circumstance” echoed(回声) in the background, I looked around at the other figures in white caps and gowns as we seriously lined into the hall. Tears welled up uncontrollably in my eyes, and I was consumed by a rush of sadness. As if in a daze(恍惚), I rose from my seat when I heard my name called and slowly crossed the stage to receive my diploma. As I reached out my hand, I knew that I was reaching not just for a piece of paper but for a brand-new life. Exciting as the future of a new life seemed, it wasn’t easy saying good-bye to the old one—the familiar faces, the familiar routine. I would even miss that chemistry class I wasn’t particularly fond of and the long travel each day between home and school that I hated. Good or bad, it was what I knew.
       Although going back is impossible, it’s comforting to know I can revisit my special memories any time.

【推荐3】My shoe lesson number one:

Back in my days as a salesman, I was on my way to deliver a speech in Newfoundland. Sitting comfortably in the airplane seat, I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat（汗水）as I realized I had left my dress shoes at home. I was wearing running shoes for an important speech.

I knew I could buy a new pair when I landed. Too late; the stores were already closed. What about in the morning? No, the next day was Sunday and my speech was scheduled for 9:00 a.m. Ninety seconds later, however, my cold sweat has been replaced with a single idea.

The next morning, I began my speech, "You might be wondering why I am wearing running shoes today. Well, it's about this request here. When I'm done speaking, I'll be running door to door and I want every one of you to come running with me, too." My little "goof-up" became a clever demonstration（示范）of action speaking louder than words.

My shoe lesson number two:

My brother was getting married. We had just seen the signing of the papers at their house, and they were rushing over to another place for the ceremony. As we locked up their house, my wife's shoes broke. So we flew off to the nearest shoe store. We knew they would wait for us before starting the ceremony. What we did not know was how long they would wait.

That day, my wife performed a miracle（奇迹）that no other woman had done before or since. She went into the store and came out just five minutes later with the perfect pair of shoes.

Perhaps the most important lesson here is that, opposite to popular belief, the shoe does not make the man or woman. But the lack（缺乏）of shoes can surely build character.

1. Upon thinking of his shoes on the plane, the author was ___________.

A．proud

B．delighted

C．afraid and nervous

D．encouraged

2. What does the underlined part "goof-up" probably mean?

A．Image

B．Mistake

C．Success

D．Present

3. Before entering the shoe store, the author thought it ___________.

A．strange to be in a trouble for a second time

B．a great pity to have to miss his brother's wedding

C．important to test the quality of a new pair of shoes

D．unlikely for his wife to finish shopping in a short time

4. What does the writer try to tell us in the passage?

A．Emergencies（紧急情况）can help shape our character

B．You can never judge a person by his looks

C．It's hard to change our character overnight

D．Never buy shoes without trying them on first
