1 . How to Make Friends at a New School

Starting with a new school can be difficult. Everything seems to be different, and you don’t even know where to go for your own classes.     1     However, if you use these skills, you can quickly turn some of those strangers into friends.

Be yourself

    2     If some people don’t accept you, they’re not the kind of friends you need. People often stay together because they have similar interests. For example, someone who does a lot of sports may make friends with those who also run or swim a lot.

    3    

Remember to be nice to the people you meet at your new school. If you think that you will say something that may make them feel sad, do not say anything and just nod your head if they talk to you. Also, remember to be as helpful as possible!

Believe in yourself

A smile goes a long way. When you walk in the halls, don’t keep your eyes on the floor. Raise your head and make eye contact with other people.     4     Introduce yourself. Tell them your name and where you’re from.

Remember people’s names

You like it when people use your name, and so do other people.     5     Besides, ask them in a kind way if they have a nickname. You’d be surprised how often this may come in handy.

A．Be friendly to others.

B．Making new friends can be hard, too.

C．Join after-school activities like

D．Never change what you are to try and fit in.

E．If you see someone you know, smile or say “Hi”.

F．People may become angry if you just begin by saying ”Hey“ each time.

G．Don ‘t sit at the back of the classroom where other people don’t notice you!

2 . Swimming in the water of Hawaii’s Big Island is a fun experience. But it can be more exciting if there are dolphins swimming around and jumping out of the sea too. For many people, it would be a wonderful dream to swim with these lovely animals! However, this may not be good for dolphins. They may get hurt because of human interaction (互动).

Dolphins are active and usually look for food at night. In the day, they like to rest in shallow bays (浅湾). Many people think the dolphins are awake during the day as they swim. But when they sleep they rest half of their brain and keep the other half awake to breathe, so they may be sleeping even when they’re swimming in the water.

From 2010 to 2013, spinner dolphins (飞旋海豚) of Hawaii’s Big Island were exposed to human activities more than 82 percent of the time, according to Julian Tyne, a researcher at Australia’s Murdoch University.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) says disturbing the animals in their near-shore habitat could force them to swim to less favourable places, putting them at risk of being attacked by sharks and other animals.

Besides, when people are around, dolphins become more active. Thus, they can’t get enough sleep. “Disturbing their resting behaviours can actually affect their long-term health and the health of the dolphin population,” Ann Garrett of NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service told the Associated Press.

As a result, the NOAA wants to make rules to help protect the dolphins. For example, the agency (机构) may ban swimming with the Hawaii spinner dolphins. Or they may stop people from swimming in shallow bays when the dolphins are resting. Tour operators must also be taught to watch for signs to know when the dolphins are in their resting state.

1. Which of the following about dolphins is NOT true?

A．They spend most of their time sleeping at night.

B．They like to stay in shallow bays during the day.

C．They keep half of their brain awake while sleeping.

D．They may be sleeping even when they’re swimming.

2. What would they do when dolphins are disturbed in their near-shore habitat?

A．Swim to a crowded place.

B．Move closer to sharks.

C．Become less active.

D．Likely sleep longer.

3. Which activity is against the rules?

A．Swimming with the Hawaii spinner dolphins.

B．Swimming in bays where the dolphins live.

C．Making signs that show the dolphins’ resting state.

D．Making signs that show where the dolphins are.

4. What does the article mainly talk about?

A．What habits dolphins have.

B．What spinner dolphins are.

C．How the animals live in the sea.

D．How to protect dolphins near the shore.

Dear Jack,

I’m sorry to hear that you feel lonely in the new school, because you find hard to make friends. It’s normal of you to feel lonely because you were living in a new environment. Now I’d like to offer you any advice.

Firstly, you should greet your classmates when met them on campus. Secondly, it will be a good idea if you take an actively part in class activities, what can help them learn more about you. I believe you will be able to make new friends soon unless you’re friendly to the others.

I hope the suggestion above will be helpful to you and everything will be fine with you for the future.

Last weekend, I helped my grandparents their trip to Dalian. On Sunday morning, together with my grandparents, I search the Internet for the train schedule, the weather in Dalian, and some hotel informations. In the afternoon, we went to the train station and managed to buy two tickets for my grandparents although there had a long queue. After the dinner, I packed into the suitcase the thing what my grandparents would need, such as clothes, an umbrella, or a map. The next morning, I went to the station to see them off. Waved goodbye to them on the platform, I felt happily for them and wished them a safe journey.

10 . Everyone wants to be happy. You see people who are smiling and laughing and you want to be like them.     1    However, there are also bad days. Here are three ways to make you happier every day.

Smile often. Research has shown that the facial expression you wear influences you state of mind.     2    Wearing a pleasant expression for a long period of time will slowly improve your feelings and help you have a happier day.

    3    The more you complain (抱怨), the more upset you become.If all you notice or talk about during the day are the things that upset you,it is no surprise that you are unhappy. To truly increase your long-time happiness,don’t complain any longer.    4    

Practise thankfulness. Thankfulness has been shown to be the last ticket to a happy life. The more you practise thankfulness, the more you will find things to be grateful for in your life.    5    Even something as simple as a safe place to sleep or food to eat is worth being thankful for because not everyone is fortunate enough to have those necessities.

A．Stop complaining.

B．Try your best to be healthy.

C．There are good days to be healthy.

D．If you try to smile,you are more likely to be happy.

E．You will slowly stop paying much attention to what worries you.

F．This then leads you to realize how much goodness is in your life.

G．Have an entire day without complaining even once and see how you feel.
