The first few weeks were2. There was so much new information to take in, and the homework was3 than in junior high. I felt a little4 and homesick sometimes. One day, our head teacher noticed my5. She said to me, "It's okay to feel this way. Everyone needs time to6. Why not try to join a club? It's a good way to meet people."

I took her7 I signed up for the basketball club because I loved sports. At the first practice, I was8 to see that many guys were friendly and welcomed me. We practiced together and soon I9 several good friends. Through basketball, I learned the importance of10 and teamwork. My new friends and I also studied together. We11each other with difficult problems.

Now, I feel much more12 about my school life. I've learned that challenges are a13 of growth. When I look back, I'm14 for that difficult beginning because it taught me how to15 problems and ask for help.

Write it down.. Make a note on your notebook. Always be sure to write down any homework for school so you won't forget anything.

Create a homework station. Find somewhere comfortable and quiet to work. Never do your homework in front of the TV. It will take twice as long to get the homework done., log off your computer (unless you will need it for your homework) and close the door.

Do homework as early as possible. Don't leave homework to die last minute. Start as soon as you get home., the sooner you will finish! Do all your homework as early as you can, so you don't have a pile of (一堆) homework the next day.

.Think about how long it will take you to complete each homework subject. For example: English-ten minutes, science-ten minutes, math-forty minutes, history-twenty minutes.

Treat yourself. You can easily get tired by sitting through an hour or two of homework without stop-ping. Once you finish homework for a subject, take a small break. Just make sure it's quick (no more than 15 minutes). Do not turn on the TV, or you'll never go back and finish your homework.

A. Use your time wisely

B. The earlier you start your homework

C. Begin with your hardest homework

D. You can take a walk or find something to eat

E. Shut off your cell phone

F. After short breaks,return to finish up the last of your work

G. Keep a homework notebook where you record all your homework

However, others think social media can be a good tool. It lets teens connect with friends easily: for example, they can video chat with a friend who moved away, or share funny jokes in a small group. It also helps them learn about the world — like watching short videos about animals, or reading posts from scientists talking about space. What's more, it lets them show their creativity (创造力)：some teens draw on phone apps and share works, or write short stories about weekends and post them. Banning (禁止) it completely may only make them more curious — they might sneak (偷偷摸摸) to use it without parents knowing — or hide what they do online, which is riskier.

The key is balance (平衡). Parents should talk openly with kids about online safety — like telling them not to share home address or phone number with strangers — and set fair rules. For example, agree teens use social media 1 hour a day, and not during homework time or before bed. Schools can also teach skills to use the internet well: like showing how to check if a news story is real (by looking at trusted websites), or what to do if someone is rude online (block (屏蔽) them and tell a teacher).

One day, an elderly lady visited the store. At first sight, I was drawn to her. She was neatly (整洁地) dressed and had a graceful presence, looking polite and friendly. She lived in a senior citizen apartment nearby and wanted to buy some chairs for her garden. After a short search, I found some chairs that met her needs. She bought two chairs and asked if I could help send them to her home just a stone's throw away. Recognizing her old age, I agreed and carried the chairs to her building.

Upon arrival, she welcomed me warmly and showed me where to place the chairs. Before I could thank her for shopping in my parents' store, she shocked me by placing a handful of candy in my hand. Then, to my amazement, she gave me an educational book. I politely rejected it, explaining that I couldn't accept any presents. However, she put the book in my hand and said with a smile, "If your parents don't want you to have this, just don't tell them. Let me tell them instead." We both laughed, and I thanked her sincerely. I decided to follow her advice, and she told my parents that she had given me a book as a reward for my hard work. With the book, I learned a lot and started my lifelong love for reading.

Reflecting on this experience, I often think of the elderly lady and hope she will live a joyful life surrounded by loved ones forever. Her generosity and humor have left a lasting impression on me.

When I got to school on the morning of the first day, I realized how large the school was and how many students went there. I ended up in the wrong classroom because of the size of the school. And then a kind senior showed up and guided me to my classroom before I was late. I was happy to see that in a class of unfamiliar faces, the only open seat was next to my good friend, Jimmy. My science teacher seemed like a good teacher.

After finishing four classes, I didn't feel too bad. However, the fifth class changed everything. I didn't feel ready after all. My literature teacher is Mr. Smith. He told us that we would have to write 40 essays (文章) and read AP-level books such as The Odyssey this term. I love reading and writing, but come on, 40 ESSAYS? AP-level books? Now I was anxious.

The courses in high school seem like they're going to get much harder, but they haven't yet. Even though my classes look hard, they look really exciting.

The first week passed quickly. Although a lot of things were overwhelming (令人不知所措的): the size of the campus, the crowds and the seniors, having a totally different experience that I had never had before was really exciting.

Now, I'm really happy about high school. I have lots of friends in my classes, I really like my teachers and I'm meeting new people.

Sylvia came to her grandmother's farm a year ago. The air in the countryside felt free, soft and sweet. Every day she would spend some time in the woods nearby. Some birds even came close to her, singing around.

One day in the evening, a tall young man carrying a gun approached their farm house. He was lost and asked for a night's stay. Sylvia's grandma agreed.

The young man introduced himself as an ornithologist (鸟类学家), who collected bird specimens (标本). "I have over 100 kinds of specimens in my study." Sylvia felt her heart trembling as she imagined so many birds being shot.

"Sylvia knows a lot about birds, too." her grandmother said proudly. The young man became thrilled. "I have followed a rare white heron (鹭) in this direction for two days. Have you seen it?" he asked Sylvia. Sylvia's heart gave a wild beat. She had seen the strange bird on the other side of the woods. "I would give $100 to whoever showed me where the white heron is." But Sylvia was silent.

That night, the young man had fallen asleep, but Sylvia was broad awake. Her mind was alternatively visited by the bird specimens and the wished-for treasures 100 dollars could buy.

When dawn was breaking, Sylvia quietly left her house and finally reached an old pine tree. Sylvia climbed to the top. Below her, a white heron was smoothing its feathers at leisure and cried to its mate nearby. Sylvia couldn't help sighing at such harmony, knowing it was her calling to sustain…

In a classroom at the Confucius Institute of the University of Granada, in Spain, a group of Spanish students mirrored their teacher's martial arts movements, holding a horse stance (马步), pushing with controlled force retracting elbows (收回肘部) in smooth lines.

Leading them was Zhang Daojin, inheritor of Six Harmony Praying Mantis boxing (六合螳螂拳), a kung fu style (originate) from Shandong Province in eastern China. Zhang concluded a two-week cultural exchange program in Spain, sharing Chinese kung fu with martial arts enthusiasts from Spain and other European countries through lectures and training sessions.

"Chinese kung fu is much more than a way (get) fit. It's rich with cultural and philosophical significance," says Alejandro Romero, a 43-year-old instructor started his martial arts journey at 15. "Ever since my first touch of martial arts, I (find) myself growing stronger, both (physical) and mentally."

Six Harmony Praying Mantis boxing is celebrated its unique blend of strength and gentleness. It focuses on internal and external training and reflects traditional Chinese (belief) about the balance between humans and nature.

In addition to boxing, Zhang also introduced Tai Chi and qigong, sparking engaging conversations about martial arts, wellness and the richness of (tradition) Chinese culture.

Crocodiles are among the world's most effective hunters. Their eyes and nostrils are positioned high on their heads, while their whole4 is just beneath the water surface. With explosive tail power and the ability to stay underwater for hours, their5 has remained unchanged for 95 million years.6: these animals are built for the kill.

As I continue to scan the water, I see7: a soft ripple. Then, just a few metres away, two eyes break the surface as a huge head rises ever so slightly out of the water. The silent beast8 me. I feel my heart racing. I take a few steps to the left; the crocodile silently follows. Then a few to the right; and again, it9 me. I'm a dot on its radar. A possibility. A chance.

You may experience better brain function. Eggs provide choline (胆碱) — a key substance that enhances communication between brain cells, ensuring messages are delivered efficiently like a well-organized delivery system. Thus, eating eggs regularly can strengthen your memory. What's more, the nutrients in eggs act like brain fuel, keeping you focused during classes or while doing homework.

You may have healthier eyes. Eating eggs helps protect your eyes with natural substances that act as natural sunglasses, blocking harmful light like screen blue light. Egg yolks contain more eye guarding nutrients than carrots, reducing eye fatigue (疲劳) during study sessions.

You can have stronger muscles and bones. Eggs provide quality protein for muscle repair after exercise, while their vitamin D works with other nutrients like calcium and phosphorus to strengthen bones. Regular consumption supports muscle growth during daily activities and keeps bones strong.

It may seem like other foods are much better at making you feel full, but eggs are actually an excellent selection to help you keep it that way. They are the ideal mix of protein and fat and can be extremely satisfying and filling. By consuming more eggs, you are able to significantly decrease short term food and snacks.

A. Eggs are a good source when you're busy

B. You can have a full stomach for longer time.

C. You can get more protein after having an egg.

D. So regular egg consumption helps maintain clear vision.

E. This makes it easier to remember school lessons or daily tasks

F. When you eat eggs regularly, this is what happens to your body.

G. They can help to maintain bone structure and prevent weakness.

Discovered in 2001 in the desert of Chad, the skull was nicknamed Toumai by scientists. Toumai is a rare find. The skull is nearly complete. It even includes a few teeth. The Toumai skull is estimated to be between six and seven million years old. Scientists are debating whether the skull is linked to humans.

The finding is not without controversy. Some scientists think that Toumai is the oldest known hominid (原始人) ever found. Others say Toumai is an ape (猿).

Most hominids that scientists are aware of lived millions of years after Toumai. The most famous one is called Lucy. She lived in Ethiopia about 3.5 million years ago. While Lucy's face looked like the face of a chimpanzee, Toumai's skull has both human and ape-like features.

Because Toumai's skull looks different from other hominid skulls, some scientists think Toumai represents a whole new species. Toumai's official name is Sahelanthropus tchadensis.

Scientists were surprised to find a human-like face on a skull as old as Toumai's. They thought hominids turned into humans step by step over time. Scientists mark those changes on a timeline, starting with a chimpanzee-like ancestor and ending with modern humans. Toumai's human-like face and chimp-sized brain suggest that the development of hominids was not so simple. There may not be a direct line leading from Toumai to Lucy to us. Instead, the timeline might be similar to a tree with lots of branches. Different species in different places could have evolved human-like features at different times.

Scientists aren't sure where exactly Toumai belongs on a family tree. Toumai could be like a great-great-grandfather or just a distant cousin. Toumai could also be one of many types of hominids who wandered Earth millions of years ago.

The skywalker gibbon is a top-level State protected animal whose population is smaller than that of wild giant pandas. Through analyzing their DNA from their feces, researchers can protect them better. So over the past four and a half years, Li has followed gibbons and collected their feces for researchers. Li said the job relies heavily on luck and willpower. "Our work and rest completely depend on gibbons. Though the lifestyle is a little bit tiring, it's meaningful." But he has never regretted his choice or felt alone, as he has found more young people engaged in nature conservation.

Like Li, Chu Wenwen, 27, has also worked to protect animals. Listed as a first-class State protected animal in China, the Mengxin beaver (蒙新河狸) is found only along the Ulungur River in Xinjiang's Altay county. To protect them, Chu launched the "beaver canteen" program in 2018, in which a huge "canteen" of about 400,000 salix shrubs (灌木柳苗) was built with the snack money by mostly young internet users. "I am lucky to live in such a great era when young people can realize their dreams while the country strongly supports nature conservation," said Chu.

According to Fan Pengfei, a professor at Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou, ecological protection as an industry can provide only a few jobs, most of which are in research institutes and nongovernmental organizations. But he has seen more and more young people take part time jobs as journalists, photographers and so on to raise awareness of wildlife protection. "Young people are the future of the world and the future of global biodiversity conservation," noted Xinhua.

Ryan began jogging with the group known as Back On My feet seven months ago. Never a runner, he always wondered what the big deal about it was. Ask him today, however, and he'll tell you, "It's so natural, almost spiritual. Running has truly strengthened him. Less than a year after first hitting the road, Ryan completed a half marathon. Now he is studying to be a health advisor.

Back on My feet is a program based on the idea that running can change a person's self image. Early morning exercise three days a week provides a way of expressing depressive feelings and starts to change the way someone thinks about hard work. Now the program has reached 5200 homeless people. They show up voluntarily for four out of every five runs. Over 1900 have found jobs and 1300 have moved into independent housing.

Back on My feet began in Philadelphia in 2007 on one of Ann Mahlum's morning runs. Mahlum started running at the time to help deal with her father's serious addiction problems. Running as a teen, she continually passed by a group of homeless men outside the Sunday Breakfast Rescue Mission. In May 2007 she began to develop a friendship with them. By July, they started running with her. Inspired, Mahlum formed an official running club for the homeless. At first, only nine guys signed up. Today, Mahlum's running club has grown into a nationwide organization.

Here are some recommendations for nonfiction about appreciating living creatures.

Where the Animals Go

This book of beautiful maps traces various movements of wild animals. It is recommended because the COVID-19 pandemic began with the trafficking (贩运) of wildlife for food and body parts. Blame for the human disease can't be laid on animals. It is the direct result of people's blindness to how the exploitation (剥削) and abuse of wildlife are linked to people's welfare.

The Book of Barely Imagined Beings

This book combines illustration and text to provide a deeply inspiring survey of real but astonishing creatures, starting at the axolotl and ending with the zebrafish.

A Different Nature

This book examines the history of zoos and calls urgently for us to reinvent them as places constructed for the good of animals rather than the convenience of people.

Giants of the Monsoon Forest

This book explores the lives of the extraordinary Asian elephants who spend their nights in the forests of Myanmar and India and by day work with their mahouts (驯象人), harvesting timber. These animals make up about a fifth of all Asian elephants left in the wild.

When Elephants Weep

This book offers an accessible, strong look at the interiority (内心) and individuality of nonhuman creatures, showing them to be capable of anger, sorrow, selflessness and gratitude.

The Hidden Life of Trees

This international bestseller is a good introduction to the proposition, not new to philosophers but increasingly receiving scientific attention, that trees and other plants possess both consciousness and intelligence.
