8 . FOMO
Everybody knows how important it is for students to get a good night’s sleep every night. Most experts agree that the optimum (最佳的) number of hours is eight. However, I was young once and I know that most of you get much less sleep than that—and in some cases it will influence your schoolwork.
I read an interesting article in a teachers’ magazine recently. They did a study of 848 students in Wales. Worryingly, the results showed that teenagers are facing a new problem. They may go to bed and get up at proper times but a growing number are waking up in the middle of the night, just because of a new phenomenon (现象): FOMO—fear of missing out!
Afraid of missing a comment (评论) or chances to take part in a chat (聊天), teenagers are waking at all times of the night, going online and getting involved. All this when they should be sound asleep.
Experts are worried about this growing trend (趋势) and the report shows some worrying numbers that I’d like to share with you:
23% of 12 to 15-year-olds wake up nearly every night to use social media (社交媒体). Another 15% wake up at night once a week for the same reason.
One in three students are often tired and unable to perform well during the daytime. Students who use social media during the night are more probable to experience more stress.
So, I’d like to ask you to be responsible when it comes to social media. Be brave! Turn off your phones at night. The world won’t end and your social media will be waiting to greet you in the morning! I give you my word that you won’t miss anything important.

| A．they go to bed too late |
| B．they wake up in the middle of the night to use social media |
| C．they get up too early in the morning |
| D．they have problems falling asleep |
| A．Students should be brave enough to fight against FOMO. |
| B．The students will surely miss something important if they turn off their phones at night. |
| C．Students who use social media during the night have more friends. |
| D．The social media is waiting for the students during the night. |
9 . I went home one Saturday afternoon in the autumn of 1993 to get some work done in the garden. While sweeping leaves on the ground, my five-year-old son Nick came over and asked me to write something on a piece of paper to make a sign for him.
“What for?” I asked.
“I’m going to sell some of my stones,” he answered.
Nick was fascinated with stones and had collected many stones from all over.
“I’m too busy to do that for you. Go and ask your mum for help,” I said.
A short time later, Nick returned with a sign, reading, “Stones, One Dollar Each.” He took the sign, a small chair and 4 of his best stones and walked to the road in front of our garden. There he put the stones in a line and sat down on the chair.
After half an hour, nobody passed by. I walked to him and asked him to go back, but he didn’t.
Another half hour later, a small car came down the road. I watched as Nick stood up, holding his sign up. A woman rolled down a window and read the sign. I couldn’t hear their talk, but I saw the woman turn to the driver and the man reach for his pocket.
I sat in the yard, as Nick ran to me. Waving the dollar, he shouted, “I told you I could sell one stone for a dollar— if you believe in yourself, you can do anything.”

10 . Many studies about language learning ask the question: what makes a good language learner? There are some things that good language learners do and some things they don’t do. Here are some of the most useful suggestions from studies.
Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. People often get things wrong. Good language learners notice their mistakes and learn from them.

Use a dictionary. Good language learners often use dictionaries to check the meaning of words they don’t know. They also make their own vocabulary lists.
Think in the language you’re learning outside the classroom. When you’re shopping or walking down the street, remember useful words and phrases. Sometimes, when you’re at home, say new words to practise your pronunciation.
Do extra practice. Test and improve your reading and listening skills with self-study material. You can find a lot of this online.
Enjoy the process. Good language learners have fun with the language. Watch a TV series or film, listen to songs, play video games or read a book. It’s never too late to become a good language learner.
