1 . Eyes can speak
Much meaning can be conveyed, clearly, with our eyes, so it is often said that eyes can speak.
The same is true in our daily life. If you are stared at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong with you.
Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive.
However, when two people are engaged in a conversation, the speaker will only look into the listener’s eyes from time to time to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking.
Actually, eye contact should be made based on specific relationships and situations.
A.That’s what normal eye contact is all about. |
B.But things are different when it comes to staring at the opposite sex |
C.Therefore, continuous eye contact is limited to lovers only. |
D.On the contrary, it will give him away. |
E.After all, nobody likes to be stared at for quite a long time. |
F.Do you have such kind of experience? |
G.If nothing goes wrong, you will feel annoyed at being stared at that way. |
2 . Teen Dating(青少年约会)can be fun if you are aware of its pros and cons(优缺点) and are also aware of the ways to protect yourself. There are a couple of suggestions you would like to know before you are out for dating.
Do not go out for dating with somebody whom you have seen only a few times and does not know much about him or her.
Before leaving on a date, know the exact plans for the evening and make sure a parent or friend knows these plans and what time to expect you home. Let your date know that you are expected to call or tell that person when you get in.
Similarly, if you leave a party with someone you do not know well, make sure you tell another person you are leaving and with whom. Ask a friend to call and make sure you arrive home safely.
No matter how good the person appears to you, trust your inner instincts (直感). If a situation makes you uncomfortable, try to stay calm and think of a way to remove yourself from the situation without letting your date realize what is going on in your mind.
Be aware of your decreased ability to react under the influence of alcohol or drugs and keep yourself in control when out for a date.
Always stay firm, straightforward and clear in your relationships, thoughts, decisions and judgments. Never let a doubt come to your mind or face when out for dating. If you are firm and clear in your communication, your date will always be careful in dealing with you.
You should think ahead about ways to be safe if you are in a dangerous or potentially dangerous relationship. Adults, like parents, teachers, counselors, can be trusted in such cases.

5 . The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where we’ve never been before.
But just as in face to face communication, there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on line.
For anything you’re about to send: ask yourself, “Would I say this to the person’s face?” if the answer is no, rewrite and reread.
If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct (本能) is to fire back in the same manner. But try not to do so.

E.When you send short messages to a person online, you must say something beautiful to hear. |
F.You should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their messages. |
G.If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake, point it out politely. |
6 . First of all,students should respect their teachers. They should pay attention in class. That means saluting(向……致敬)the teacher,standing from your chair when the teacher enters the classroom,attending any lesson attentively,etc. In the class of a certain subject or a teacher you don't like very much,if it's total anarchy(混乱),how can we talk about respect?
Play by the rules
If your teacher wants you to use wide-lined paper,do it!If he/she tells you to sharpen your pencils only before class starts,listen to him/her. If he/she doesn't accept late homework,do yours on time. Sometimes classroom rules seem strict or even silly,but most teachers know what's necessary to make things run smoothly and what it takes to let the learning begin. And the better the learning environment is,the smarter you'll be!
Expect him/her to like you
Teachers are teachers because they like kids. Given the chance, most teachers want to be your friends too. Respect your teacher, but don't be afraid of him/her. He/She wants you to have a great school year just as much as you want to have!
Put first things first
Friends are a fun part of school. But sometimes they' re not the most important part. When your teacher is teaching, give him/her your full attention. Even when it's hard to do — recess will come soon, and that's the time for playing with your friends.

8 . Making friends is a skill like many other skills. It improves with practice. If you want to meet people and make friends,you must be willing to take some actions. You must first go where there are people. You won’t make friends staying home alone. Join a club or a group. Talking with those who like the same things as you do is much easier. Or join someone in some activities. Many people are nervous when talking to new people. After all meeting strangers means facing the unknown. And it’s human nature to feel a bit uncomfortable about the unknown. Most of our fears about dealing with new people come from doubts about ourselves. We imagine other people are judging us or finding us too tall or too short,too this or too that. But don’t forget that they must be feeling the same way. Try to accept yourself as you are and try to put the other person at ease. You’ll both feel more comfortable.
Try to act selfconfidently even if you don’t feel that way. When you enter a room full of strangers, such as a new classroom,walk tall and straight, look directly at other people and smile.
If you see someone you’d like to speak to, say something. Don’t wait for the other person to start a conversation.
Just meeting someone new does not mean that you will make friends with that
person—friendship is based on mutual liking and “give and take”. It takes time and effort to
develop.
