On every weekend, take a piece of paper and write down the title “My Schedule (计划)”. Under it, write the days of the week. Next to the days you can write what you should do. You should give yourself enough time for study and some time for activities you like to do.
In class, you have to listen to the teachers carefully. Also, try to answer the questions they ask in class and talk about your ideas. You will be someone interesting for the teachers and someone special for your classmates.
Try to make friends with your classmates. If they don’t like to make friends with you, it’s fine. Notice if there is someone whom you feel you can be friends with.
If you want to do something or you feel bad these days, you can discuss it with the friend you trust. It is very helpful to have a best friend who can reach for your hand and touch your heart.

2 . Do you like pandas? Pandas are black and white. They are very beautiful. A baby panda weighs (称重) only about 100g. It is not black and white but pink. An adult(成年) panda weighs more than 100kg. It’s about 1.5 to 1.8 meters tall. Pandas like eating the leaves of bamboo. Every day a panda can eat 10kg to 18kg of bamboo. So they often eat for twelve hours a day. When they are very hungry(饥饿的), they will also eat small animals. Pandas are kind of shy. If you talk too loudly, they will walk away from you. They look a little fat, but they can walk, run and climb trees. I like the cute pandas!

3 . In July 2021, China introduced the “double reduction” policy (政策). It hopes to reduce students’ learning burden (负担) by reducing homework and after-school classes. Several months have passed. How do students feel about this new policy?
“Our homework is clearly less than before,” said 13-year-old Shen Yuzhe from Beijing. “We are not encouraged to buy workbooks anymore. The exercises are mainly from the textbook.”
According to Shen, teachers now teach at a much slower pace (节奏). Students have enough time to process new knowledge. “Our teachers are also giving us more chances to do experiments (实验) and learn from real life.” said Shen. “For example, we went to research earthworms (蚯蚓) in a field during a biology class. This is a much better way to learn things than just hitting the books.”
For 13-year-old Zhang Hangming from Tianjin, the best thing about “double reduction” is the increased time in after-school activities. “We can now spend more time taking part in clubs and activities, such as dancing, volleyball and drama. I have joined a group called ‘leadership (领导力) development’ where I can learn all kinds of skills beyond academic (学业之外的) study,” said Zhang.
Both Shen and Zhang find there are fewer exams now. But they think it may not be a good thing. “Exams push me to study harder. Besides my progress, more importantly, each exam shows my weak points as well,” Zhang said.
Shen also said that when burden is reduced, self-discipline (自律) becomes the key. “Some students now spend more time having fun when homework is finished early. But if you use all the free time to relax, you might fall behind the others of your age,” he said.

4 . When you and your family go out for dinner, do you notice how many dishes you usually order? It’s OK if you finish all of them. But if you waste too much food, you need to pay for it.
Last year, China’s top legislature（立法机关）reviewed（审议）a draft law（法律草案）for stopping food waste for the first time. In general, a draft will become law after the top legislature reviews it three times.
According to the draft law, restaurants should tell customers not to order too much. If customers leave too much food uneaten, restaurants can charge（收费）them for food waste. The law also bans（禁止）waiters from encouraging people to order too much food. Some restaurants may use the “N-1” mode for people to order dishes. “N” stands for the number of persons at a table. So if there are six people at your table, you should order just five dishes, which can help people control the amount of dishes in a proper way.
The draft law also asks schools to teach their students to avoid food waste. It also bans TV programs about overeating and overdrinking. Producers of such programs will face a fine of up to 100,000 yuan.
Food waste happens in many places and has long been a big problem in the world. We need to obey the law and refuse to waste food.

Healthy eating doesn’t just mean what you eat, but how you eat. Here is some advice on healthy eating.
Eat with others. It can help you to see others’ healthy eating habits. If you usually eat with your parents, you will find that the food you eat is more delicious.
Listen to your body. Ask yourself if you are really hungry. Have a glass of water to see if you are thirsty. Sometimes you are just thirsty, and you need no food.
Eat breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. After you don’t eat for the past ten hours, your body needs food to get you going. You will be smarter after eating breakfast.
Eat healthy snacks like fruits, yogurt or cheese. We all need snacks sometimes. In fact, it’s a good idea to eat two healthy snacks between your three meals. This doesn’t mean that you can eat a bag of chips instead of a meal.
Don’t eat dinner late. With our busy life, we always put off eating dinner until the last minute. Try to eat it at least 3 hours before you go to bed. This will give your body a chance to digest most of the food before you rest for the next 8 to 10 hours.

9 . What will our life be like in 50 years? No one knows the answer exactly（确切地）, but we are sure that it will be very different from the life today. My brother Jill White makes some predictions. Here are some of his ideas.
First, people will have less work to do, and robots will do most work. People will use robots to make cars, do housework, look after sick（生病的）people and teach students. People will spend most of their time playing sports and traveling. So people will become stronger and healthier, and they will live to be about 200 years old.
Second, cars will become very small and computers will control（控制）their speed（速度）. So there will be fewer accidents（事故）on the road. Planes will be very popular, and most people would like to take them to travel.
Third, people will be able to live in the sea, on the moon or on Mars（火星）. The earth won’t be crowded or noisy. So there will be much space for people to plant trees. There will be less pollution, and the air will become much fresher.
Finally, water shortage will become one of the most serious problems. If people don’t save water now, there will be water wars（战争）in 50 years.

Now there is a family problem. Nearly every parent says that we never grow up. In fact, we are probably 16 or 17 years old. In their eyes, we are always little ones and often do wrong things.
Most parents always think that they have offered the best things they can to make their children live in a comfortable world. They buy their children pretty clothes, cool shoes, everything that they can for their dear children. In return, they only want their children to get good results in the exams.
But why still can’t their children understand them? Does it mean that we still want more material things? No. In fact, what we want is a true family. I think a true family means a place where we can hide ourselves from the cold world outside. From here, we can get warmth, we can get consolation (安慰), and we can get happiness. And one important thing is that we should be stronger and more confident in the outside world because we know that we have a true family.
So I think that parents should sit down and talk with their children to let them know that they have a true family. So the children and their parents could understand each other more and more. Then parents will not treat their children as little ones.
1. In our parents’ eyes, we ________.| A．we have grown up | B．we never do anything wrong |
| C．We are always little ones | D．we shouldn’t worry them |
| A．Good results in the exams. | B．The best things. |
| C．Pretty clothes. | D．Cool shoes. |
| A．More material things. | B．A true family. | C．Nothing at all. | D．A comfortable world. |
| A．Warmth and consolation. | B．Happiness and strength. |
| C．Confidence and understanding. | D．All of the above. |
| A．they should have more communication with each other |
| B．parents will treat their children as little ones |
| C．children should be stronger than parents |
| D．they could understand each other less and less |
