1 . James is a good student and he has lots of friends, but he also has a problem. Some older boys are bullying(欺负)him at school. James is very unhappy and he doesn’t know what to do about it. Here are some suggestions to him and other teenagers in this situation.
Don't feel worried. It's not your fault(过错)! Being bullied can make you feel very lonely and angry, but you are not alone. Don't feel that you have to hide the problem. You should find a person you can trust, and tell them. It might be your teacher，your parents，or even your friend’s parents．After you tell someone，you will get some support and feel some relief (解脱)．
Speaking to an adult might make you nervous, but here are other things you can do. Some people express their feelings more easily on paper. Write a letter to someone or keep a diary. Include all the details(细节)about what the bullies (欺人者) do, as well as when and where the bullying happens．You can use it as proof to show what is going on. And it is a wonderful idea to show your letter or diary to a teacher or another responsible adult. Then the bullies will feel very afraid if their names appear in a letter!
Also, don't show you are sad and don't try to fight with the bullies. You could get in trouble yourself. Ignore them and just walk away. The bullies will soon stop.

2 . Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to worry about people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely             and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads in their free time.
In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you are studying hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of you; When you get success,             your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. All your happiness is always around you.
Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are             very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you should not always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋转的) door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you             get, you can be a happy and lucky person.

10 . Smartphone, poor sight
Look around and you will see people busy on their smatrphones (智能手机). Smartphones do make our lives easier. But have you ever thought about what they mean to your eyes?
According to a study, half of the British people own smartphones and they spend an average ( 平均 ) of two hours a day using them. There has been a 35% increase in the number of people in the U.K who suffer from short-sightedness （近视） since smartphones were introduced there in 1997.
Staring （盯）at smartphones for a long time gives you dry eyes. When looking at something in the distance, your eyes automatically blink （自动眨眼） a certain number of times. However, when you look at the things closer to your face, the blink slows down. This reduces the amount of tears and causes discomfort in your eyes. Another bad habit is using smartphone in dark rooms before going to sleep. If you look at a bright screen while your pupils （瞳孔） become larger, too much light goes into your eyes. This can be bad for your eyes and causes a disease called glaucoma （青光眼）.
Maybe it is possible for you to stop using your smartphone, but there are a few things you can do to protect your eyes.
* Hold your phone at least 30 centimeters away from your eyes when using it.
*Take a break every hour and try the following: look at something at least 5 meters away from you and then focus on your nose. Repeat this several times. It should reduce the discomfort in your eyes.
