Help your child build confidence.

Some children find it harder to make friends than others. If your child is shy, they may find it hard to meet new people.You don't have to make ten best friends all at once! Making friends takes time and even just one or two good friends can make a big difference.

Research shows it's important for parents to offer encouragement and guidance about friendships. This can lead to better quality friendships as children grow up. Parents can start to talk to their child about the importance of friendships from a young age.

Encourage your child to talk.

Younger children view friends as somebody you can play with, while older children see friends as people they can trust and can share feelings and thoughts with. Research shows, parents can also help this transition (转变) with advice and encouragement. Encourage your child to express their feelings and talk about what happens at school, so you can work out things together.

Encourage active listening.

You can also encourage your child to be a good and supportive friend.This is about understanding what someone is saying, not simply "hearing" what is said. You can suggest your child takes a deep breath and lets the other child finish what they are trying to say, instead of interrupting (打断) and talking over people.

A. Listen carefully to your child.

B. Let them know it is OK to start small.

C. Talk about the importance of friendship.

D. One way to do this is by being an active listener.

E. How can you make friends in a new environment?

F. How can parents talk to their kids about making friends?

G. Over time, children's understanding of friendships changes.

Cool slang changes all the time. Some slang examples, like "what's up?", have been around so long that they have become idioms (习语), or common expressions where the meaning of certain word combinations (组合) are really different from their basic meaning. An example of an idiom is "out of the blue" to show something that happened without warning.

Other slang words are popular, or come from new music, TV, or movies, and are only used for a short time. Knowing how and when to use slang words or college slang will help you connect with and better understand American students.

As a general rule, you can use popular words and phrases now with your friends and classmates, but should use more formal English when speaking to professors and co-workers. If you use today's slang in more formal settings, like at work, people might see you as rude (粗鲁的) or unprofessional.

Pop culture and youth culture tend to create new slang words and trends (趋势). Historically, that meant that the TV shows, pop and hip-hop music, movies, and video games popular with kids, teens, and young adults influenced today's slang. While those forms of media still shape new slang words and cool slang, young people now tend to spend more time online — and with that change, the Internet, and especially social media, drive most of American slang in 2025.

While the Internet and pop culture have created common slang words around the country, keep in mind that different areas of the country may use different slang words. Wherever you decide to study, you'll quickly hear the local slang — and it may even become part of your own vocabulary!

Avoiding all risks might seem smart, but it can make you feel unhappy. The problem is that we often make decisions based on feelings, not facts. We think, "The more scared I feel, the riskier it is." But feelings aren't always reasonable. If we knew how to think about risks clearly, we'd know which risks are worth taking. For example, trying a new hobby like painting might feel daunting at first, but it could bring you joy and new skills.

Whether you're afraid to change your job or too nervous to ask a friend for coffee, learning to take "good risks" can improve your life. Here are good ways to help.

Balance feelings with facts. Many times, we think fear means something risky. But that's not true. For example, driving a car feels safe because we do it every day, but giving a speech in public might make your heart beat fast. Yet the fact shows that car accidents are much more common than getting hurt while speaking! So before you avoid doing something scary, take three deep breaths and ask yourself, "What's the real risk here?"

Take steps to succeed. You can do many small things to lower risks. If you're nervous about a test, make a study plan and review each day — this helps you feel more prepared. It's okay to feel butterflies in your stomach when you try something new. Facing fear helps build your mental muscle, just like exercising builds physical muscle. So, taking smart risks helps you become mentally stronger.

Mr. Tony Harrison quickly soothed (安抚) my uneasiness with his friendly welcome and a big smile on his face. "Welcome to sixth grade! Take any seat," he said. Mr. H, he preferred to be called, was young, energetic and showed happiness with his smiling face and cheerful voice. I chose a seat near the front of the classroom. My mum always told me sitting in the back encouraged trouble, besides I was also nearsighted.

Mr. H was an encouraging teacher and he made learning exciting with his fun ideas. I had always loved school, but somehow Mr. H made school even better. It did not matter if you were the best or worst student in the class, he made you feel special.

Smiley faces were his trademark. He always put a smiley face on the chalkboard, homework assignments and test papers. When he signed my yearbook, he added a smiley face. I am sure he did the same in everyone's book. At the end of the school year, Mr. H gave each student a yellow, enamel pin-on(珐琅别针) smiley face. Years later, when I saw my first smiley face emoji, I immediately thought of Mr. H.

I realised Mr. H's influence on me when I started my first job in high school. Even as a part-timer working in the mail room, I had the ability to influence others and make their day. Mr. H taught many students and adults during his lifetime. His cheerful outlook and kindness left a positive influence on me and countless others.

A Party for a Nurse

Debby was a young nurse who worked in a children's hospital. She was loved by all the sick children who had to be there, because she was really a kind-hearted person and treated them as her own brothers and sisters. She took good care of them and always spent time with them, comforting them and telling them interesting stories. It gave her a lot of satisfaction to know that she was bringing happiness to them and helping them to get well again.

One evening there was a big dance at the hospital. Most of the doctors and nurses would be there, but of course, some had to be left to look after the children, and Debby was not one of the lucky ones who were free to go to the dance. She liked dancing very much, so when she had to start work while her friends were getting ready to go to the dance, she felt very sorry for herself, though she knew she should stay with the children.

Among the sick children there was a boy called Jimmy, who was seven years old. Poor Jimmy had had a very serious illness. Now he was hardly able to move any part of his body except his hands, but he was always happy and always thinking about other people instead of himself. When he knew that Debby had to miss the dance because of them, he felt a little sad, wondering what they could do for her so that she would have a nice evening.

American artist Ross Lewis is now holding an exhibition shows how Chinese culture has influenced his work.

The 50-year-old painter began finding inspiration (灵感) from Chinese ink landscape painting (shanshui art) in the 1990s. He has produced a lot of (attract) rope paintings to show respect to ancient Chinese artists.

"Learning Chinese calligraphy and landscape painting has changed I see space and movement," Lewis said during his exhibition, Dancing with Rope, at Beijing's Today Art Museum.

Lewis calls (he) "part Chinese" because of the great influence of Chinese culture on both his professional and personal life. His interest in Chinese culture (grow) from high school, and he later studied Chinese literature (文学) and history at Oberlin College in the U. S. He advanced his Chinese studies in China as exchange student.

In Taiwan, Lewis connected with (experience) painters who guided his shanshui art. After his graduation from Oberlin, he worked as a tour guide in China, where he met with some famous artists. These meetings helped him understand Chinese art (well).

Lewis doesn't just copy masterpieces. Instead, he spends a lot of time (find) his own style. His Shan-zi series, which you can see in Beijing, shows his first important success. He has also worked (create) an effect close to printing on paper.

What made Kaycee Nicole2 was the fact that she was dying from cancer (癌症). What got her website millions of visitors was the3 that she looked at her illness. "I try to be a poet, a loving daughter and a friend to all who are friendly to me," she wrote.

People were friendly. Whenever her treatment seemed to be4, she was sent emails of congratulations and many presents. When she seemed to be getting5, the whole online community6 to give her a big electronic embrace (拥抱).Come on, Kaycee! You can do it! You can7 this thing!

On May 16, Kaycee died. Word seemed to8 at the speed of light. Thousands of gifts and flowers were sent to Kansas. The9 had lost a bright, shining star.

But people later found that Kaycee was not dead. In fact, she had never10. The woman who called herself Lucy, whose real name is still unknown, had made up11.

Kaycee Nicole started as a12. But she grew into much more than that. There was something about her that people13 and wanted to see more of. She was who she was because that was how people wanted her to be.

"Your story created much14," wrote a visitor to her website. "Now that we know the15, let's hope the love we made can go on." Why not?

On the last day of school, there's no more time for long-term projects. If you're wondering how to organize the last day of the school year so that it's as fun and unforgettable as possible, consider these ideas:

Activity No. 1 — They can offer tips for success in your classroom, or share favorite memories, inside jokes, anything that a new student in your room might be interested in. Meanwhile, you may take the chance to see how the kids feel about you so that you may know how you will do better next year.

Activity No. 2 — Think of 20 speech topics and have the kids choose from them. Give them just a few minutes to get prepared and then call them up for short speeches. Fun topics include "Make us buy the shirt you are wearing now" or "How would the school be different if you were headmaster?"

Activity No. 3 — Have each child wear a large card on their back. Then, the kids go around and write nice comments(评论) on each other's backs. You just might have to lower yourself so that they can reach your back

Activity No. 4 — Bring together all of the educational games in your classroom and organize centers in the room for each game. Divide the class into small groups and give each group a certain amount of time for each game. Then the groups go around the classroom so everyone gets a chance to play all of the games.

A. Teachers, you can join in, too!

B. You can also write what you think of them.

C. The children won't even realize they're learning.

D. They will love getting creative in front of the class.

E. Let the kids write about anything that they are interested in.

F. But, teachers still need to fill the day with something creative.

G. Ask the kids to write a letter to the new students you will teach next year.

What would happen if the human brain were connected to a powerful computer? That is what Kevin Warwick wants to find out. "I want to try to change things, to have a go at completely changing what it means to be human," he says.

Soon he will have an operation. A glass tube(管状物) will be placed around a group of nerves in his arm. Inside the tube, there will be tiny computer circuits(线路). These will pick up messages being sent to the brain and send them to a computer.

Then the experiment will begin. Says Kevin Warwick: "Pain provides a clear electronic signal(信号) on the nerves as it moves from its starting point to the brain. We want to find out what happens if that signal is sent to the computer and then played back again. Will I feel the same pain?"

It is not just about pain. The human nervous system sends many other messages to the brain. The project aims to find whether all of these can be stored on a computer and then played back into the human body.

This could serve many different purposes. The computer could provide eyes for a blind person. Anxious or unhappy people are often given medicine to make them feel better. But what if they could put feelings of happiness directly into their minds?

Imagine that you are thousands of miles away from your loved ones. You love them and long to be back with them. Instead of writing a letter, you store these feelings on a computer and send them to your family as an email.

Professor Warwick now believes that the success of his new experiment could lead to the evolution(进化) of humans. A human will be able to use the memory(记忆) and mathematical power of the computer. He or she will be able to communicate thoughts and feelings directly across the planet using the Internet. People have used their intelligence(智力) to create increasingly intelligent machines. Has the time now come for the two to join together?
