Your schooldays should be some of the best and happiest days of your life. How can you get the most from them, and make sure you do not waste this wonderful chance to learn?

Be active about school! Don’t say things are difficult or boring. Be interested in school-life and your school subjects. Join in lots of activities. Be quick to put your hand up. Go round the school with a big smile.

Expect to work. School is not a holiday camp. If you are not working, you are not learning, and you are wasting your time at school. Teachers cannot make everything enjoyable.

62 Do not say you will do things tomorrow. Tomorrow, you have other things to do. If you get behind the class, it is very difficult to get back in front.

Talk about problems—sometimes they are only the result of misunderstanding. Don’t be too embarrassed to turn to others. You are young. No one thinks you can do everything!

Plan your time. Don’t waste life lying in bed on Saturday morning. Go and play a sport, learn the piano, work on a project, read a book, practice English, or help someone with problems. There are always a lot of things to do.

Follow my advice, and have a happy school-life!

Joy’s thoughts kept turning back to Nick. It must be terrible to be lonely on Christmas Day with his parents dead. 【3】 (tear) started to run down her cheeks but she brushed them away.

That night, while everyone else 【4】 (sleep) like a baby, Joy was thinking ways to help Nick. As soon as she heard her parents get up, she 【5】 (quick) jumped out of bed. She told 【6】 about Nick.

Many US kids — two out of three — said they get along with their parents. But that doesn’t mean they never disagree. In fact, most kids reported arguing with their parents, at least sometimes. And two out of five kids said arguments sometimes even include shouting at each other.

“It’s certainly normal to disagree and argue,” says Darcy Lyness, an American expert. “But it’s also important to learn how to do so respectfully (尊重地). Be patient. Don’t use a raised, angry voice.”

And not surprisingly, three out of four kids said they had lied to their parents sometimes. Many said they lie so they would not get in trouble or disappoint their parents. According to Lyness, lying isn’t just wrong. It can actually have bad results. Telling the truth builds trust.

Telling the truth, says Lyness, shows maturity (成熟). But older kids actually lie more often than younger ones. Kids aged 12 to 14 not only said they lie more, but they also reported having less fun, feeling less close and not getting along as well with their parents.

According to Lyness, those feelings are common. As kids become more independent (獨(dú)立), they have more areas of disagreement with their parents. But it doesn’t have to be that way. “Kids and parents get along differently at each stage of the journey,” she says. “As kids grow and change, it is important for everybody to change.”

A. never agree withB. may argue with

【2】Why do some kids lie to their parents?

A. They don’t trust their parents.B. They don’t want to get into trouble.
