Jackson sat at his school desk and looked over at the new kid in class. His name was Billy and he just moved here from Florida. His first day in class was yesterday and, so far, Jackson had not talked to him. Today, during the break, Jackson was going to try to make a new friend.
When the bell rang, Jackson hurried out of his seat and followed Billy outside.
“Hi Billy,” Jackson said as they walked outside. “Do you want to play basketball?”
“No. I’m not very good at basketball.”
“Do you want to play kickball?” Jackson asked.
“No. I’m not good at that either,” Billy said. Billy walked away from Jackson and sat on a big flat rock in the grassy part of the school yard.
Jackson stood there and wondered what to do next. He asked Billy to do two things and both times Billy had said no. Maybe he didn’t like Jackson. Maybe he didn’t want to be friends. Jackson thought about playing basketball with the other kids. He looked over at Billy sitting on the rock all by himself. It must be hard to move to a new school, Jackson thought.

2 . Family is the most important thing in the world. Sometimes it can be hard to get along with family members but you love them. How can you have a better relationship with your family members?
●Spend more time together.
Think about how much time you spend with your family already. Is it enough?
●Improve yourself.
Perhaps they complain about your grades, your attitude or your lack of goals; don’t assume it’s all nagging. Some of what they are saying is most likely for your own good, and they’re trying to protect you from life’s hardships and encourage you to be the best you can be.
●Be as independent as you can.
For example, don’t ask your father to wake you up in the morning.
If your parents come home late at night after work, try to make a simple dinner for them, instead of making your mother cook for you again. If your brother or sister is not doing well at school, show him or her how to succeed with the subjects.
| A．Be helpful. |
| B．Make dinners yourself. |
| C．Here are a few tips you can follow. |
| D．Instead, set an alarm clock beside your table. |
| E．You should understand why they complain about your performance. |
| F．Improve your attitude and work on the things that family members comment on. |
| G．If not, what can you do to improve things and find more time to spend together? |
