4 . A new study finds that lots of kids hate school. Usually this kind of feeling doesn’t last long. But what happens if you feel this way too much?

If you don’t like school, the first step is to find out why. You might not like school because you don’t have enough friends, or maybe you don’t get along with your teacher. Sometime it’s a big problem with your classes and schoolwork. You may be getting farther and farther behind, and it may seem like you’ll never catch up.

China has been practicing the rule that asks people to use their real names when registering(注册) for Internet service. The rules also ask Internet companies operating in China to remove the untrue information which the web users ever gave.
Chinese lawmakers passed the rule on December 28th,2012, at the end of a five-day meeting of the Standing Committee of the NPC.
The new rules say network service providers must well check up the information given by users. The providers have been ordered to stop the spread of illegal （违法的）information, and take steps to deal with the problem. The Xinhua News says those steps include removing the information from the Internet and then reporting it to the government.
Chinese officials say the rules are aimed at protecting the personal information of Internet users and stopping false information such as junk e-mail. However, some people say such new real-name rules will make people less likely to report illegal actions for fear of possible action against them.
Duncan Clark is an adviser to Stanford University’s Graduate School of Business. He lives in Beijing. He says, “For a long time we’ve seen the Internet being used to report illegal action, but the new rules seem to stop those reports.”
But the good news is through real-name registration the Internet crime among teenagers will be controlled.

9 . We use money to buy things we need or want. But a long time ago, people didn’t use money. So how did they get the things they wanted? Well, there is a long and interesting story.
At first they would exchange things they had for something they need. For example, if a shoemaker needed some bread, he would give a baker shoes and the baker would give him bread. This was called “bartering(以物易物)”.
Bartering worked well for a while. But after the baker didn’t need so many shoes, the shoemaker still needed more bread. What could they do? The solution （解决办法） to this problem was money.
Money is an agreement among people. There were many earlier forms of money, such as cattle, salt, grain and shells. But it was not easy to move them to faraway places or store them. So metal money began to take the place of these things. Metal money was used in China as early as 1,000 BC.
About three hundred years ago, paper money was used widely. Paper money is much cheaper to make than metal money. It is also easier to carry. Now paper money is used by most countries.

● ________ ________When you are not confident, you can’t do well in what you want to do. You speak in a voice so low that other people can hardly hear you. Try to speak in a loud voice so that people can hear you clearly. The high voice can help you become more confident.
●Play sports Physical exercise makes you tired but completely relaxed. A strong body helps you be full of confidence.
●Encourage yourself Write down a list of things you did during the day to see how many things you have done well. Did you finish your homework? Did you tell a joke that made everybody laugh? Give yourself praise for the good things you’ve done.
●Get rid of(消除)fear Fear comes along with failure(失败). But if you know that failure is part of your life, it’s easy to get over it. Don’t hide your head just because you said something stupid last time. Try to start again and believe you can do better.
