One of them is too much homework. It seems that a student’s homework is never done. Many students can h【2】 find any time for their hobbies. They all hope to achieve a balance between schoolwork and their hobbies. But it’s difficult to achieve this goal, so they feel s【3】 about that.

Another is endless e【4】. Some of them are too difficult for students to get high marks. Some students even d【5】their abilities when they fail in the tests. Many students are afraid of tests and endless tests almost drive them m【6】.

Students also face the problem of the generation gap (代溝). A【7】 to a recent report, about 60% of the middle school students think their parents don’t quite u【8】 them. And their parents often say no to their decisions. P【9】 their parents want to protect them, but that really makes them sad.

Not all the students know how to d【10】with those problems. Can you give them some advice?

One day, his friend g l【1】 the farmer a young apple tree and told him to take it home and

plant it. The farmer was h 【2】with the gift, but when he got home，he did not know w【3】 to plant it．

He was afraid that if he planted the tree near the r【4】, strangers would steal the fruit．If he planted the tree in one of his fields，his neighbors would come at night and steal some of the a 【5】．If he planted the tree near his house, his children would take the fruit．F【6】，he planted the tree in the woods．But w 【7】sunlight and good soil(土壤)，the tree soon died．

Later the friend asked the farmer why he planted the tree in such a poor p【8】．“What’s the difference?’’ the farmer asked angrily．

The friend a 【9】，“If you planted the tree in the sunlight, at least someone could e 【10】the fruit．Now you not only have robbed everyone of the fruit，but also you have destroyed a good apple tree” .

Stress can a【4】 push you to get things done. If you have an i【5】 test coming up, stress makes you study harder. It gives you energy before a class presentation or a sports match. Stress about larger issues（問題）like global warming（全球變暖）can e【6】 you to recycle（循環(huán)）and save energy.

But too much stress is u【7】. While a little bit o【8】stress helps you to study, too much can make it hard for you to pay great attention. If you don’t get e【9】sleep, you may have a harder t【10】 fighting off sickness. Stress can make you feel worried and tired.

In restaurants or at home, people often o【2】or cook too much food. But they can’t eat it up . When they go out of a restaurant, f【3】and happy, they n【4】look back at the uneaten food on the table again. Should Chinese consumers(消費(fèi)者) feel sorry for the terrible w【5】?

In schools, we can often see a lot of students throw food away after m【6】and they only eat the food they like.

Everyone is supposed to have enough food to eat. However, in some p【7】, the food is so little that a lot of people died from hunger. T【8】China has tried hard to solve the problem of hunger over the past thirty years, the job is not f【9】yet. Food is important to us all. We can’t live without food. So it is necessary for us to love food and try to eat up e【10】on our plates. When we eat in restaurants, we should pack up the leftovers. We also need to tell other people to stop wasting food as soon as possible.

So what? First, always think about your failure. What caused it？Were conditions right? Were you in top from yourself? What can you change? Then you can decide w【5】to keep on working hard or try it in a better way, and things will probably not go wrong n【6】time.

Second, is the goal you're trying to reach the right one? Try to do some thinking about what your real goals may be. Think c【7】about this question. “If I am able to achieve my goal, where will it get me?" This may help you prevent failure in things you shouldn't be doing anyway.

The t【8】thing to keep in mind about failure is that it's mother of success. Don’t give up easily. Learn to “l(fā)ive with yourself" even t【9】you may have failed. Maybe this will help you s【10】in what you are doing in the end.

Transportation

Many parents like driving their kids to school every day. We all know waste gas from cars is a main cause of air pollution. If parents who live in a neighborhood can take turns to drive their kids to school each day, that’ll be better. Another way of going green is to walk to school if students live near it.

Food

It is surprising that only one primary school could produce up to 19,000 pounds of lunch waste each year. That is only one school. One way to help take care of the environment is to stop using plastic bags. There are all kinds of environmental boxes for students to put their food in.

Paper, pens and pencils

A lot of paper is thrown away by American students. They throw away about 1.6 billion pens every year. They waste many pens and the chemicals of them are bad for the environment. Much more pencils are thrown away than pens. Pencils are made of trees, so if more pencils are thrown away, more trees will be cut down. So students should reuse paper, pens and pencils instead of throwing them away.

Backpacks

As fashion comes and goes, almost every kid needs a new backpack every year. They can save a lot of money and materials if they reuse the same schoolbags.

I have been lucky to learn this lesson early because I have had a grass-cutting business since I was 10 years old. Of the money I make I spend about 10 percent and save the other 90.

Making sure you save and don’t spend too much is a good way to build up wealth (財(cái)富). I have put my earnings in a bank. Many teens I know spend all the money they earn so it never has a chance to grow. Young people should realize that their teenage years are a great time to begin saving.

At high school many parents pay for almost everything, so your expenses can be small. If you have a job, you should have fun with some of the money. But you should also save some so that it will grow. Then you can begin planning for your future. When you spend money, you not only lose that money, but also lose the interest you could have earned by saving it.

After high school, college is expensive and then “real” life begins, with expenses such as food and rent. If you can hold onto a good percentage of the money you earn as a teen, going to college and buying a house will be much easier. If you are in your teen without any savings, you will always have to struggle. The earlier you begin saving, the easier it is to create a nest egg.

Later in life it can be hard to start saving because general costs of living are more expensive and you may only have enough to pay your bills. If you want to buy a house and have a family, you need money to start with, which comes from saving.

Many say money cannot make you happy, and this is true. But money can help you to lead a secure life.

Saving early will mean you will have to work for fewer years when you are older. It will also allow you to spend time doing the things that you want to do.

In addition to this, it will mean you can live the way you want to without worrying.
