Manage your time wisely

. At the same time, time-management skills are highly valued by teachers. Because they can help ensure that you prepare well for tests and exams.

Every teacher designs tests and exams differently. If your teacher hasn't specified(详细说明) how he or she arranges tests and exams and which materials will be covered, you'll need to ask your teacher outside of class. In this way you can fully prepare for the test well.

Get help if your grades fall behind

Whether you miss an important class, have trouble with certain concepts, or are dealing with a stressful family emergency, there's a chance that your grades might fall at some point.. Remember that you don't have to feel dissatisfied with grades, if you're actively absorbed in your studies.

Take responsibility for your words and actions

If you fail to finish your homework, turn in a paper on time, or show up to your task on time, it's no one's fault but your own. You shouldn't excuse for your fault.. In part because taking your responsibility can help you stay focused and decide what to do in the future.

A. Accepting responsibility is a major mark of maturity (成熟)

B. Try to stay balanced

C. You don't have to write out every word your teacher says

D. If this happens, it's important to get help at once

E. Study for tests and exams ahead of time

F. And you will soon find yourself confident and happy at high school

G. Managing your time will greatly help you become a more excellent student

Previous research shows that people who are more impulsive may be less healthy than less impulsive people, Coffino told Live Science. In a grocery store, that impulsiveness could lead to a shopping cart (购物车) filled with food with little nutritional value.

The new study looked at 60 college students who filled out questionnaires (调查问卷) that assessed their levels of impulsiveness as well as how they respond to the presence of food. The students were then told they had $48.50 for grocery shopping, and were asked to fill an online shopping cart with "nutritious, affordable and tasty" foods. When Coffino calculated the nutritional value of all the foods in each person's online shopping cart, she found that there was no link between the foods a person chose and how impulsive the person was. "It didn't matter how impulsive a person was," Coffino said. "The nutritional outcomes didn't vary."

The new University at Albany study dismisses previous suggestions by Britain's top doctor that buying groceries online is bad for our health. Last June Professor Dame Sally Davies, the Chief Medical Officer, urged people to keep making trips to the supermarket to boost health. She cited a lack of exercise as a pressing health problem, with many adults failing to meet recommended daily guidelines for staying active.

Often, when people buy groceries online, they need to search for each item they want, as opposed to strolling (闲逛) through a store and saying, for example, "Oh, those cakes look good." Online, more planning and thought is needed. In addition, online grocery shopping makes people more aware of how much money they're spending, which could prevent them from adding impulsive picks to their carts, Coffino said.

I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. One time, when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly. I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly. As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened to hear what I said, took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive (敏感) Americans are and how they dislike the description "old". I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife. After the couple heard my reason, they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences, so they laughed and were no longer angry. In my village in China, people are proud of being old. Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty, and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience. Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience.

However, in the United States, people think "growing old" is a problem since "old" shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well. Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging, and women put on makeup, hoping to look young. When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly, they got angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young. I had told them something they didn't want to hear.

After that, I changed the way I had been with older people. It is not that I don't respect them any more; I still respect them, but now I don't show my feelings through words.

China has achieved great success in afforestation (造林) and created one of the (large) planted forests across the world, with its forest coverage rate rising from 12 percent to 24. 02 percent.

A 2019 finding (publish) in Nature Sustainability showed that at least 25 percent of the foliage expansion (树叶扩张) (global) came from China. Thick forests have also become a key source of earnings for locals. In 2022, output value of China's forestry and grassland industry reached 8,370 billion yuan.

Over the past few decades, China has encouraged its afforestation efforts with improvements in laws. (protect) the country's forests can promote green and low-carbon development, thus providing benefits for the world. In 2019, the country's law on forest protection (revise) and went into effect in 2020.

Behind China's remarkable green achievements are (advance) in afforestation and sand control technologies. "The (science) and effective prevention and control methods of the Chinese government have greatly changed the county, makes me see the hope of improving my hometown environment," said a farmer from Minqin, Gansu.

More importantly, it's an effective way for the world (explore) solutions to climate change, thus promoting green development in this planet.

I observed a number of6 children who were taken out of a special class and placed in a   7 class. In the special class, they showed little ability to use their own judgment, relying   8 on their teachers' directions. In the regular class, having no worry about keeping up, they began to reflect   9 on many problems, some of which were not on the school program.

Many are concerned that gifted children become   10 and lose interest in learning. However, this   11 is more often from parents and teachers than from students, and some of these   12 simply conclude that special classes should be set up for those who are   13. Some top students do feel bored in class, but why they   14 so goes far beyond the work they have in school. Studies have shown that to be bored is to be anxious. The gifted child who is bored is an   15 child.

Reading is also one of the things that will help you to speak English better. Read whenever you can and whatever you like! Read papers and Internet sites that you like in English every day. Then, you will see that the number of known words is increasing and you are able to speak with more skills. Then you will have made the foundations and a good basis of English. It is not good to stop and get stuck there.

Going to England or an English-speaking country is a good choice, but many people cannot afford it. If you cannot go, reading and speaking with your friends will also help you to practice your English. However, I think it is very good to visit an English-speaking country to see and test your knowledge in everyday life. You will understand the everyday usage of the language in its natural environment. There your level of English is going to improve even faster. Your ability to speak English is better. Nothing can match the excitement and happiness when a native speaker tells you that your English is very good!

Finally, in order to speak English well, you must be persistent and do it every day. It is like playing the piano. Pianists play it every day and so should you. Include English in your life and you will see where it is going. Practice, Practice! Read, write and improve your language skills and you are on your way when you will be able to speak it with more and more confidence!

Besides, 52 percent of the younger respondents to the survey, on which the report is based, said they prefer getting treatment for their hair problems in professional healthcare institutes, compared with less than 40 percent of people in their 40s or 50s. Beyond basic requirements such as improving their hair coverage, 25.7 percent of the respondents born in the 2000s said they are also interested in "hair aesthetics" apart from seeking hair treatment. The corresponding figures for those born in the 1990s, 1980s and 1970s are about 19 percent, 17 percent and 11 percent, respectively.

The survey gathered data through questionnaires and in-depth interviews with respondents, according to the Shanghai Institute of Nutrition and Health of the CAS. "Our survey shows that 54 percent of the people in third-tier cities and 48 percent in second-tier cities have considered seeking hair treatment in hospitals," a researcher at the institute, Chen Daming, said. The report also shows that people born in the 1990s are more open to paying for hair care products and services and spend an average of 9,980 yuan ($1,400) a year on them.

Chen said a significant trend in the hair care industry is the rising demand for personalized and complete services. "About half of the respondents said they look for combined hair transplant and hair care services," Chen said. "And 66 percent said they will consider whether a medical institution offers postoperative services after hair transplant into their choice."

"The stereotype (刻板印象) of hair treatment (for baldness and other medical conditions) has changed, as some young women tend to undergo hair treatment to look more beautiful. Also, personalized services with good aesthetic taste are becoming increasingly popular," he said.

The report also said that hair health issues are now closely related to confidence, with 79 percent of the respondents saying they would opt for a hair transplant if they have bald spots or their hair loss worsens to the point of "ruining" their appearance. Given this trend, novel hair care technologies could emerge in the near future to meet the customized demands of consumers, Chen said.

The school gate was crowded with new students. Some were talking loudly, while others looked as nervous as I felt. When I entered my classroom, I chose a seat near the window. For a few minutes, nobody spoke to me. I felt a little lonely and wondered if the whole day would be this hard.

Then our headteacher came in. With a warm smile, she welcomed us and encouraged us not to be afraid of challenges. Her words gave me some courage. Soon it was time to introduce ourselves. My hands were wet with sweat, but I forced myself to stand up. I said my name, my junior high school, and even shared my interest in writing stories. To my surprise, several classmates smiled at me, and one girl said that she liked writing too. At that moment, I felt the ice breaking.

In the afternoon, we had our first physics experiment. I was not very confident, but I decided to take the first step. I suggested a method to my group, and though it was not perfect, it helped us finish on time. The teacher praised our teamwork, and my group members gave me a thumbs-up. A sense of pride replaced my earlier fear.

On the way home, I realized something important. The first day had not been easy, but because I tried to be brave and active, it turned out much better than I expected. A beginning full of effort and courage can light up the path ahead, making the days to come less frightening and more hopeful.

My dad got a new job. We had to pack up and move away from everything we were familiar with. There were so many changes. We came from the north, and now we were almost as far south as possible. We landed in South Florida, and we were total strangers. We moved over during the summer vacation, so I didn't have to deal with school right away. Summer passed by while we unpacked, arranged furniture, found stores we liked, and adapted to the Sunshine State.

School was coming, and I was afraid of it. I was not an adventurous person. Being shy and quiet, I read a lot and did not make friends easily. My head was filled with fears and worries. Would I make friends? Would If it in? Would I survive in this strange new world? Anyway, there I was, attending a new school full of people I didn't know.

I had a difficult time adapting to the new school. However, I still loved learning and reading. I even loved homework, and I was good at doing my homework. Loving books and reading helped me to get good grades. Teachers loved that about me. Other kids, though, did not. Although I always answered questions in class, I seldom talked with my classmates. I was unpopular. I felt like a total failure and nobody would like me.

The none day, at all boy walked over to me after an English class. He introduced himself and told me he was in the school basketball team. I knew him—he was the star player! "Hey," he said. "You do really well in English class. And you know, my teammates and I spend much time competing and practicing. The subjects, especially English, really bother us. Do you think you could help us?" "Yes. Oh, definitely yes. I could, and I would," I replied with surprise. We made the deal with an exchange of smiles.

Last Friday we took the children to an amusement park. I was2 with three girls who all had Down's syndrome (唐氏综合征). They were having a great time, regardless of the3 and looks from people around us.

The girls were4 and screaming in excitement on a roller-coaster ride when a young woman patted me on the shoulder. She politely told me that she5 the girls had Down's syndrome. I told her the situation.

I couldn't6 what she next said to me. She7 me that she had just had a baby who was diagnosed (诊断) with Down's syndrome, and that she had been most worried if her baby would be able to experience joy and live a life full of8. She then went on to say that watching these girls made her relieved, because she saw how happy they were. Then, she9 me for talking to her and giving her the best gift she could ask for,10.

I am so11 that these three amazing girls were able to make this mother feel a sense of12. They gave her the hope and13 that her baby will live a happy life. Every time I think about this, I can't help but14. These kids that I am so15 to work with and their smiling faces are major reasons why I smile.

The "Ocean Shapes" company makes these special kits. Each $15 set includes three toys that break down naturally and are shaped like sea turtles, starfish, and seashells, plus a small digging tool. Their website says: " Watch them return to the sea. This is how vacation memories should disappear." Bright green packaging shows children building a sandcastle that slowly disappears with the waves. "Every kit sold funds beach clean-up programs," says the company's boss, a former surfing star.

Sunshine Coast's white beaches attract millions yearly. Last year, volunteers picked up over 12 tons of rubbish left by visitors just during Christmas. Old plastic beach toys make up 40% of this waste, taking 500 years to break down. Broken tools often hurt sea animals that think they're food.

For twenty years, scientists have tried using seaweed instead of plastic. They boil seaweed into thick liquid, and then press it into shapes. Old versions had bad smells, but new methods remove them while keeping the material strong.

Mayor Tom Carter likes the idea but says, "We ask visitors to buy local honey or handmade hats. Our surf schools now offer seaweed toys for free to make less waste. If you buy them and they don't disappear fully, take the pieces away." Next summer, his team will add bright yellow seaweed recycling boxes shaped like dolphins on busy beaches.

A. The ocean isn't a rubbish bin.

B. Play with nature, not against it.

C. Keep the material strong enough for play.

D. Seaweed products are not completely new.

E. You have to return the seaweed toys in advance.

F. They can break down in the ocean within hours, not polluting it.

G. Famous for clear water and surfing, this area has growing plastic problems.

Vera's workspace is nearly as tricked out as his bikes. Space is tight, so Vera prefers to work alone — though not for lack of volunteers. Vera fixes the donated bikes and hauls them to parks, food banks and apartment complexes. He camps out with his "Free Bikes" sign and waits for people to wander over. Then he pairs people up with the perfect new ride and watches them pedal away happily. His first giveaway saw six bikes go in under 30 minutes.

Now neighbors know him as the Bike Dude, and they keep him busy with a steady supply of bikes, helmets and locks to redistribute. The local farmers market collected 36 bikes at its first attempt. In addition to the adults and kids he meets at his "Free Bikes" events, eager customers come from local re-settlement agencies and other nonprofits. The groups provide Vera with the height, gender and age of a rider and he delivers a fitting bicycle to their door. He's happy to make the trip.

"When I was looking for bicycles, it was very expensive, so when he does this for people it makes them so happy," says Alashe, a 21-year-old refugee (难民). "It was one of my dreams to get a bicycle, and he helped me lose weight. So it's very very good". So far, more than 700 Silver Springers like him have new wheels to take the many where their feet can pedal, thanks to the bighearted Bike Dude.

Long before these tourists arrived, another language had been spoken in the region-Ckunsa. Once declared extinct in the 1950s, Ckunsa is still alive in the depths of the desert. "I don't accept that my native language is extinct," said 55-year-old Tomás Vilea. "We are going to revitalize our language. It's not just about communication. It's our identity."

The Ckunsa language faced serious suppression (压制) in the 1800s when public schools were established and Spanish was made the dominant language. The Chilean government is now taking steps to help preserve native languages. A curriculum focusing on "the language and culture of ancestral peoples" has been introduced, which is taught to students in areas with significant native populations.

In recent years, local initiatives in the Atacama Desert have also aimed to restore Ckunsa. In 2022, 1,300 Ckunsa dictionaries were distributed to primary school students in San Pedro de Atacama. In the desert oasis of Calama, children are now learning the language at their school. Tomás Vilea is the Ckunsa teacher at the school, helping to pass down the language to a new generation. Although countless words have faded like stars, which is a sorrowful loss of cultural heritage, the community passionately recovers old terms from ancient songs and texts.

Vilea and others feel it is vital to preserve Ckunsa for future generations. "We're trying to leave something behind for our children," says teacher Ilia Reyes Aymani. She believes that with persistence, Ckunsa can grow as a language, and the community's heritage will live on. Through the efforts of people like Vilea and Reyes Aymani, Ckunsa is making a slow but steady comeback. "It's wonderful to see how people are taking it up," Reyes Aymani says. "The more we spread the words, the more the language grows."
