Adam is a freshman at senior high school. Going from junior high school senior high school is a really big challenge. The first week made him a little (confuse). First，he had to think very （care） about which courses to take. The adviser recommended that he sign )up for advanced literature. He tried to join the school football team, the coach refused him.（obvious）, he was unhappy, but he won't quit. He'll find a way (improve )on his own. He knows he'll have to study harder and get used to(be) responsible for a lot more. He is a bit worried about keeping up the other students, andwill be quite difficult to get used to all the homework. Still, he'll be well (prepare) for university or whatever else comes in the future. 

Each school year, we welcome a new generation of students. Freshmen enter high school not1 what to expect. They will soon learn that classes are harder, bathrooms are busier and grades seem to2 more than in middle school. 

But freshman Adam Lin finds high school more3 than middle school. "The 4 are more flexible with what we do in class. The administration (管理）is not as 5 as that in middle school and we can decide what to wear, " said Lin.

While Lin enjoys his freedom and flexible（灵活的） teachers, he6 talking to his friends in P. E. class. "In high school, P. E. is an elective （选修）and no longer a (n)7 course. I miss hanging with my friends in P. E. class8 that was the time when I could relax, " stated Lin. "My classes can be hard sometimes and I wish I had more 9 time with my friends. "

Lin entered the campus without a sense of 10 The campus is bigger than he expected and the class is usually in the opposite direction of his previous class. "11 are too far away from classroom. If I'm walking across the campus to my next class and I decide to use the bathroom, I will end up being12 , " said Lin. "I love the classes here, but it'll take me some time to find my way around the 13 . "

Coming into high school, freshman carry many goals of what they hope to14 . At the end of high school, Lin hopes to graduate with excellent grades and 15 a university like Massachusetts Institute of Technology（麻绳理工大学） because of his love of engineering. 

Everyone dreams of success in their life, don't they? Even as a teenager, you can achieve success in your life; it really isn't that hard. 

Do well in school.

No matter how boring it is now, education will help you be a productive member in society. Try your best for excellence in school; listen to the teachers, do your homework, study, and get good grades. Doing so will help you get into a better university, which will enable you to have a bright future. 

Do good in your community(社区).

Volunteering can not only improve your community's status, but it could make you happier. Studies show that people who volunteer are less likely to develop depression (抑郁)than people who don't. For example, if you love animals, volunteer at an animal shelter. If you love helping the environment, plant trees or pick up litter. When you help others, it will make you feel better about yourself. 

Remember, they're there to help you be the best that you can be. Respect them and value their opinions, even if they annoy you sometimes.  You don't get to choose your teachers or your family, but you still have to put up with them. Learn how to deal with people now, because when you're an adult, you don't get to choose your boss or your co-workers, so learn how to respect them now. 

These points can help you enjoy success in your teenage life.

G. Keep it in mind that they do the things because they care about you. 

Some students are making big decisions in their life: Which universities should they apply to? I also noticed that many high school students in China are thinking of studying at universities abroad. Unluckily, from what I've seen, the information given by very limited and sometimes even wrong.

There was once a Chinese girl who hoped that she could go to Columbia University in the US because she wanted to major in journalism. Columbia has a very famous graduate programme in journalism. However, it has no journalism programme at the undergraduate（本科生）level! What's more, in both Canada and the US, it's not suggested that students throw themselves into journalism right after high school. School says that students should take in more knowledge about the world and writing before entering that field.

The University of Waterloo, a Canadian university famous for its engineering programme, is another example. The emphasis(重视) of engineering in this school may go beyond your expectations. According to our teachers, this university spent millions of dollars building a library just for engineering students. The school's computer science, mathematics and accounting are also great programmes for students.

But, to be honest, according to my friends who have visited this university, the campus and the food are not very nice. Maybe this is because the school stresses its academic strengths too much, thereby paying little attention to personal comforts. 

Now you see, choosing a university is really not that easy. We need to do good research and consult as many people as possible before making a decision. 

What a day! I started at my new school this morning and had the best time. I made lots of new friends and really liked my teachers. I was nervous the night before, but I had no reason to be. Everyone was so friendly and polite. They made a good impression on me. 

The day started very early at 7∶00 a. m. I had my breakfast downstairs with my mom. She could tell that I was very nervous. Mom kept asking me what was wrong. She told me I had nothing to frightened of and that everyone was going to love me. If they didn't love me，Mom said to send them her way for a good talking -to. I couldn't stop laughing.

My mom dropped me off at the school gate about five minutes before the bell rang. A little blonde(金发的) girl got dropped off at the same time and started waving(招手) at me. She ran over and told me her name was Abigail. She was very nice and we became close straight away. We spent all morning together and began to talk to another outgoing girl called Stacey. The three of us sat together in class all day and we even made our way home in the company of each other. It went so quickly. Our teacher told us that tomorrow we would really start learning and developing new skills. 

I cannot wait until tomorrow and feel as though I am really going to enjoy my time at my new school. I only hope that my new partner feel the same way too. 

"Early to bed and early to rise make a man healthy, wealthy and wise. " This is an old English saying. It means that when we go to bed early, we can get up early the next morning. Then we will become healthy. We will also become rich and clever.

This is true. To be healthy, we must have enough sleep. Experts (专家）say that adults should get seven to eight hours of sleep a night. Teenagers need nine to ten hours. And school-aged children may need more than ten hours of sleep. Children who do not have enough sleep can't do their work very well. They won't be wise and they may not become wealthy!

We also need exercise. Walking, running, swimming and playing games are all exercise. Exercise keeps us strong. It also helps the blood to move around the body. This is very important. Our blood takes the nutrition (营养）from food to all parts of our body. 

The head also needs blood. So exercise that moves the blood to our head helps us think better!

I experienced the Naadam Festival in China's Inner Mongolia in this year. Naadam meant "games" in Mongolian. It's represented by three events: horse racing, wrestling or archery, which are all so exciting to watch. Before the game, the competitors sang and danced happily, waved their arms. After these amazing performance, the wrestling competition began.

I absolute enjoyed the horse races. However, I was surprised that the riders was children of the same age with me. In beginning, I was worried about their safety, but the locals said they enjoyed them by riding horses all the life. At that moment I started to understand what people say "Horses are at the heart of Mongolian culture. "

In the not-too-distant future, we will be living in smart homes will lock the door for us when we are away and remember (switch) off the TV when we forget. These smart homes will keep us secure, save us energy, and provide a more( comfort )environment to live in. 

The future home will use integrated sensors to tell when you leave home each morning, and then go into an energy-efficient mode all by  ( it ). Your home will also learn your daily routine and preferences, so everything will be ready for you when you get home each evening. 

In addition, your smart home( monitor ) your health for you every day. Your bed, for example, will record how well you sleep every night. It will also be checking your body( weigh). If you start to have sleep or weight problems, it will send a warning to your phone. 

Smart homes will be able to prevent serious damage from(accident). For example, if a water pipe starts leaking, or if there is a short in the electrical wiring, your smart home will detect it and provide youthe relevant information. This way, you will be able to fix the problem before your home becomes ( flood ) or catches fire. 

This smart technology is not a fantasy. Many of these new innovations are already availablebeing used in some homes.

How to Meet New People

It is easy to find a place where people gather. But once you're in a room full of people, then what? The trick is finding a way to approach someone and get them talking to you.

Prepare to meet new people before you arrive.. Don't think in terms of yes or no questions. You should consider questions that will allow the person to contribute more than a one-word answer to the conversation.

★ Arrive at your event or place. Don't panic when you walk in the door. Take your time and look over the room. If this is a classroom, take a seat and look around the room., take time to enjoy the art while looking at the people. Don' t rush into talking to someone. You have time, so just get a feel for the group.

★ Approach someone.. But remember, if the person is at the event alone, they may also be shy and try to break out and meet people. You need to make them feel comfortable by chatting with them. 

★. Keep them talking and talk yourself—remember, conversation goes in two directions. You may have a couple of awkward moments, but if you have a few items planned to talk about, you'll find that they'll start adding their own questions and information to the conversation.

★ Don't forget to ask them for a friendship follow-up. , try asking your new friend if they'd like to go to another event with you. If it is a repeat event, such as a class, try asking them if they' d like to meet for coffee before the next class to study the material.

A. If it is a one-time event

B. If this is an art show

C. If you have picked out someone to approach

D. Mentally pull out your prepared questions

E. You may not meet your next best friend on your first try

F. You might find it easiest to approach someone who is also alone

G. Sit down and write out a list of potential questions you can ask someone

Research has shown that nearly 90 percent of traffic accidents are caused by human errors. So our aim is a fully autonomous car(无人驾驶汽车) that gets rid of the cause of most accidents: the driver. Researcher James Hodgson points out, "For safety, the faster you can remove humans, the better, even if there are unfortunately a few accidents from new causes. It's a question of balancing the number injured or killed by autonomous vehicles with the people whose lives are potentially saved. "

It's an idea that Elon Musk, chief executive of electric car company Tesla Motors, has long believed. His company is determined to be the first to deliver a fully autonomous vehicle to consumers. Last year, Musk announced that Tesla's 2019 goal was "to do an example drive of full autonomy all the way from L. A. to New York, and have the car park itself. "

However, even Tesla admits that there are problems to overcome—the software needs further validation(证实) and the appropriate regulatory approval needs to be in place. Indeed, recent crashes of Tesla vehicles and Google cars confirm that the software isn't ready yet.

The UK government appears committed to encouraging the development of autonomous vehicles. It's supporting four city trials, publishing the Modern Transport Bill to reduce red tape around their introduction and adapting the legal system to take account of problems such as the insurance liability when a human isn't in control of a vehicle.

The insurance industry is similarly eager to help increase autonomy in cars. As the Association of British Insurers points out, "Nearly 90 percent of road accidents are caused by human errors. " This costs motor insurers a shocking $20 million per day in claims.

In an incredible display of compassion and kindness, a man from Turkey was spotted trying to warm a pigeon in the most creative way. 

Sabahattin Yılmaz was at home one chilly day. After a rain shower had passed, he noticed something landed on the sill (窗台) outside his window—a cold and wet pigeon. The animal was trembling and soaked; it clearly didn't have the chance to seek shelter before the rain began. Feeling for the poor pigeon, Yılmaz thought of a way to dry him off.

Rather than pick him up and take him inside to warm up, Yılmaz plugged in a hairdryer and used it to dry off the bird. Little did he know that his neighbor captured the whole moment on video. In the video, Yılmaz can be seen leaning out of his window. He was stretching his arm as far as he can so the hot air can reach the pigeon. The bird willingly let the man warm him up, crouching (蹲伏) to let his outer feathers dry. 

Yılmaz told the media that he spent about fifteen minutes drying off the bird. He said he had just opened his window when he saw the pigeon around the corner of the sill. He described it as wet and "about to freeze" from the cold and rainy weather.

After fifteen minutes, Yılmaz gave the pigeon birdseed, which he ate happily. However, the bird remained wet still. "I saw that it was still there so I warmed it up again, after the pigeon recovered again, and after eating a good amount of seed, it flew away," Yılmaz recalled.

He also didn't know that he was being recorded at the time and that the video was shared online. He simply did it out of the kindness of his heart. "The pigeon is a living creature and deserved to continue living, that is why I did it, " he said.

All over the world the need for more laptops and computers increases each year. Networks have been part of our life, Probably everyone with a portable device (移动设备) has once logged on to a public WiFi network without paying for it, while they are having a coffee, on a train, in a shopping mall or at a hotel. However, is this kind of public WiFi network safe?

Some networks are better protected than others because encryption (加密) methods are used. Therefore, they are safer than others. But a survey in 2015 showed that more than 950 million records were not protected, including addresses, emails, birth dates, phone numbers, passwords and so on. These open WiFi networks are really not safe, because it is very easy for hackers (黑客) to break into the operating system and get people' s private information. 

Most smartphones and laptops, by themselves, search and connect to WiFi networks. They usually prefer a network with a connection that has been used before Hackers' devices are able to record these searches and look like the trusted WiFi networks. When these smartphones and laptops log on to the networks which are not real, hackers can easily steal their private information.

So next time, when we want to use our laptops or our smartphones in public places which offer free WiFi networks, please think it twice or take safe measures before using them.
