    Many students have some1. For example, some students do not learn their school subjects2. Some are good at3 and do well in many exams,4they are doing very badly in sports and they do not have strong bodies. So their classmates always call5"hookworms"(书虫), So many students suffer from (遭到stress. The good news6that there are some simple ways to deal with7.

    Firstly,8a healthy diet, getting enough sleep and doing exercise are very important. How can we be happy if we are unhealthy!

    As for schoolwork, making plans can be helpful. Making a list of the things they need to do and planning9to do them can help students organize(组织)their time. If you are10in one subject, studying hard and11a teacher for advice can help.

    Students should not care about12laughing. They should think about the things that are good.

    Then students should13make enough time for their hobbies. Playing sports, reading and watching movies help them relax.

    Finally,14is useful and important for students to share their problem with their15and family members.

    A good way to pass an exam is to work hard every day in a year. You may fail in an exam if you are lazy for most of the year and then work hard only a few days before the exam. If you want to be good at English, you have to read stories in English and speak English as much as possible. A few days before the exam you should go to bed early. Do not go to bed late at night studying. Before you start the exam, read carefully over the question paper, try to understand the exact meaning of each question. When you have at last finished your exam, read over your answers. Correct the mistakes if there are any and be sure that you have not missed anything but.

    Even in early time, people could realize the importance of dreams and knew that dreams gave meaning to life. Every great achievement has been the result of years of dreaming. If a person has a dream and holds fat to it, he or she will find a way to bring it into reality(现实).

    Children do not have much experience or knowledge. However, they are natural dreamers. We should not laugh at them for being naive. Many great men were dreamers when they were children. One such dreamer was Thomas Edison He used to be ostracized(排斥)when he was in primary school, but his achievements were greater than everyone else's in his time.

    Teenagers and young people should also be encouraged to dream. The world is full of successful teenagers and young people. They dreamt big and their dreams changed their lives and even the world. Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are the good examples. They have developed technology and brought great progress to human besides making money for themselves Older people should believe that it is never too late to dream and that human mind is never too old to make dreams tum into reality. Colonel Saunders realized his dreams at the age of 67 and set up the biggest fried chicken company (KFC) in the world. To dream is a wonderful ability which can lead to wonderful results. Olympic records were broken by players who were brave enough to dream. No one is too young or too old to dream and to make dreams come true.

    If someone says to you: "give me five", do not search your pocket to get five yuan! It will make others laugh! The person's not asking for your money, but your fingers.

    In the US, "give me five" or "give me the high five" is a popular gesture (动作). You can see it often in films or on TV It means the clapping (拍) of each other's raised right hands together.

    People do it when they meet for the first time or something happy happens. For example, a student has good marks in exams or wins a lottery ticket (彩票). If a football team wins a game, the players will give high fives to everyone around to celebrate.

    This gesture may come from the old Roman gesture of raising the right arm for the emperor to show respect. This also showed that the person raising his am did not have a sword (刀) in his hand.

    Why not try to give the high five to your friends?

Improving Listening Sills in the Classroom

    Listening is a skill that needs to be learned and used well to be able to succeed in any environment. In the classroom, great listening skills mean the difference between a successful student and one who struggles (挣扎) in school.

    Come to class rested.

    When your body is well taken care of, your mental (精神的) focus will be much better. If you come to class sleepy or tired, it may be impossible for you to keep your eyes open and concentrate (集中) on what the teacher is saying.

    Have everything you need at the start of the class. If you have homework, make sure you are ready to hand it in. Bring out your notebook and pen so you can start taking down notes Also, try to read your textbooks before coming into class. It will help you understand more easily what your teacher is talking about.

    When you're in the front of the class, you'll have an easier time hearing what the teacher has to say you won't have a daydream when the teacher is near you.

    Take down notes.

    Write down what you hear in class. It will also make you concentrate more on what is being said So you can properly take notes. Try to concentrate when you are in class so that you are able to get the key points during a lecture. Once you learn techniques to help you with this skill, you should see an improvement in your listening.

    Have you ever heard of a girl of15, who set up a company of her own? Wendy Wong is the girl. She started the business two years ago. She has already written several successful compute games. They are so popular that over half a million games are sold every year. Now all of her family work in her business, and she is still at school.

    She gets up early in the morning, and then she talks with her family about the business over breakfast. Every day she goes to school in her own car with a driver, for she is not old enough.

    She enjoys her school, but some of the work is too easy for her to feel interested. She usually gets 'A' grades in all her subjects, so the other students often ask her for help.

    She finished her homework in half an hour after her driver takes her home. After dinner, she goes to her office and goes on working on her computer, writing games until 2 am. She does not usually need so much sleep as other children.

    Reading makes a full man. But do you know how to choose right books for yourself?
