Dear Simon,

Friendship on the rocks: please advise!

I'm so sorry! But this friendship is worth (save): eight years (be) a long time! Don't be so quick to judge your friend. Perhaps she knows she's the wrong and wants to apologize, or maybe she has a simple (explain) for her behaviour. In any case, find an opportunity to have full and frank talk with her. Listen to what she has to say, and be sure to explain how you feel. I'm sure you can solve this problem together.

I (definite) understand how you feel. I also had a friend I trusted a lot. When I found out that I (trick) by him, I was really hurt and let go of our friendship. I know you value your friendship and want your friend to value it equally. , if your friend ignores your feelings or makes you suffer, it's time to rethink your friendship. Talk to her and decide whether this friendship is still important to you. It's sad (move) on, but you have to accept that friends come and go in life.

It's amazing that one dollar can change the culture of a school.

We have a 1 school of about 30 students. It is really full of pressure as most of the kids get good2 and try to be the best ones. It's good except that a lot of us middle kids feel really3 .

My friend and I set out to find a way to 4 the culture. We thought doing things for others was the only way to5 our depression(沮丧) about school.

On the first day of school we put a 6 folded into a heart into one of the leaders' lockers with a piece of paper that7 , "Buy yourself a snack." We hoped to8 small gifts every day. We didn't know the9 it would have.

People were10 about it and everyone was talking about who it might be that did the acts of kindness. It is so much fun to see the11 on everyone's face now! Lots of other people have started sharing the12 now too: chocolate bars, cookies and so on.

Now I actually expect to go to school to have the chance to13 people up. I hope the kindness will14 to other schools. If anybody is struggling with being15 at school, I totally suggest doing acts of kindness.

How to make friends at a new school

Starting with a new school can be difficult. Everything is nothing like your previous school, and you don't even know where to go for your own classes.  However, if you use these skills, you can quickly turn some of those strangers into friends. 

Be yourself.

 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. 

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 (接触) with other people.  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.  Besides, ask them in a kind way if they have a nickname (昵称). You'd be amazed how often this might come in handy. 

A. Be friendly to others. 

B. Making new friends can be hard, too. 

C. Join after­school activities you like. 

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

E. If you see someone you know, smile and introduce yourself. 

F. People might 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!

In the ongoing battle between Tiger Moms, French Mamas, and everyone else who wants to know what is the best way to raise their kids, a new study adds evidence that the extreme Tiger­style may do more harm than good. Authoritarian(专制的) parents are more likely to end up with disrespectful children with violent behaviors, the study found, compared to parents who listen to their kids with the goal of gaining trust.

It was the first study to look at how parenting styles affect the way teens view their parents and, in turn, how they behave. The study considered three general styles of parenting. Authoritative(权威式的) parents are demanding and controlling while also being warm and sensitive to their children's needs. Authoritarian parents, on the contrary, are demanding and controlling without the appearance of caring, attachment and receptiveness. They take a "my way or the highway" approach to their kids. Permissive(放任的) parents, the third group, have warm and receptive qualities, but they set few boundaries and carry out few rules.

Using data on early 600 kids from an ongoing study of middle school and high school students in New Hampshire, researchers from the University of New Hampshire were able to find "my way or the highway" parenting with more violent behaviors like robbery, drugtaking, and attacking someone else with the intention of hurting or killing.Firm but loving parenting, on the other hand, led to fewer lawbreakers. Permissive parenting, surprisingly, didn't seem to make much of a difference either.

To explain the link between parenting style and behavior in kids, the researchers suggested that what matters most is how reasonable kids think their parents' power is. This sense comes when kids trust that their parents are making the best decisions for them and believe that they need to do what their parents say even if they don't always like how their parents are treating them. When kids respect the power of their parents, the researchers reported in the journal of Adolescence, their behavior is better. Previous research has also linked firm but caring parenting with kids who have more self­control and independence.

When children consider their parents to be the reliable figure, they trust their parents and feel that they have a duty to do what their parents tell them to do. The child is more likely to follow the rules when the parent is not physically present.

It is rightly said one can share any secret with a true friend. He may know your deepest fears and weaknesses and yet will never take advantage of you. However, keeping a friend's secrets to yourself and not telling the world is what makes the bond grow strong and last forever. You need to develop trust and mutual(相互的) understanding before you start sharing secrets with each other. With friends, secret talks never seem to end and it can get really amusing to know what has been going on in your friend's mind.

There is a certain time in life especially from the teenage years when one starts having a personal periphery(界限) in life and parents are excluded from it. It is because there are certain things that they can't understand and we can't discuss with them. That is when friends become the best secret sharers. They are the ones to whom one reveals one's feelings and best kept secrets.

It is a general belief that only girls share secrets. But boys have their own secrets that they discuss with only closest friends. The secret talks can range from relationships, talks about fights with parents, secret activities and anything that is not supposed to be known to others! If you think secrets are limited to only teenagers, get your facts right! Secrets can be shared at any age and there is no hard and fast rule that secrets are shared only among youngsters.

Sharing secrets with a friend is not just fun, but it also helps to develop a lasting trust in one another. Sometimes, sharing secrets will tell you more about the person. You will come to know whether your friend is reliable and trustworthy and whether it is worth sharing your secrets with them. You can call it a test of friendship.

Yesterday afternoon I was in my studio working. I was chatting on the phone when something made me look up. Out of the window, on the other side of the street, I saw my very elderly neighbor kneeling (跪着) in the grass, his caregiver beside him. "I've got to go," I said to my friend. "I think something is wrong." So I ran downstairs, out my front door and across the street.

"He was taking a walk, and he tripped (绊倒) on the pavement," the caregiver said. "I can't lift him on my own." My neighbor is a large man, so I ran back across the street and got my husband! Together we were able to get him standing, but he couldn't walk. Luckily, a woman bicycled by and asked if we needed help! She got a lawn chair from my front porch and we got my neighbor seated. After a few minutes of rest, we were able to help him get into the house. "I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't rushed over to help. I was all alone," his caregiver said.

So here's what I've been thinking about since: help your neighbor. Look up from what you are doing, and look around for who you can help. It may not be as clear as it was in this case, but there's always help you can give—to your neighbor across the street, or the person standing beside you. They are all your neighbors.

Something happened to Arthur when he was on the way to work one day. As he walked along Park Avenue near the First National Bank, he heard the sound of someone trying to start a car. He tried again and again but couldn't get the car moving. Arthur turned and looked inside at the face of a young man who looked worried. Arthur stopped and said, "It looks like you've got a problem."

"I'm afraid so. I'm in a big hurry but I can't start my car."

"Is there something I can do to help?" Arthur asked. The young man looked at the two suitcases in the back seat and then said, "Thanks. If you're sure it wouldn't be too much trouble, you could help me get these suitcases into a taxi."

"No trouble at all. I'd be glad to help."

The young man got out and took one of the suitcases from the back seat. After placing it on the ground, he turned to get the other one. Just as Arthur picked up the first suitcase and started walking, he heard the long loud noise of an alarm.

It was from the bank. There had been a robbery (抢劫)!

Park Avenue had been quiet a moment before. Now the air was filled with the sound of the alarm and the shouts of people running from all directions. Cars stopped and the passengers joined the crowd in front of the bank. People asked each other, "What happened?" But everyone had a different answer.

Arthur, still carrying the suitcase, turned to look at the bank and walked right into a young woman in front of him. She looked at the suitcase and then at him. Arthur was surprised. "Why is she looking at me like that?" He thought. "The suitcase! She thinks I'm the bank thief!" Arthur looked around at the crowd of people. He became frightened, and without another thought, he started to run. As he was running, Arthur heard the young man shouting behind, "Stop! Stop!".
