Science Night

It’s almost time for Science Night.

I need a partner. Who should I ask?

I have three friends who all want to help.

How can I choose just one for the task?

My best friend Jule is fun to be around.

But she’s as chatty as a bird.

When she start to talk-just watch out!

I can’t get in a single word.

Still, that might work for Science Night;

She’d show our project to the crowd.

Jule’s voice would boom out like a drum.

I wouldn’t mind if she were extra loud!

And then there’s Dan, who’s really shy

But wise as an owl—he’s so smart?

He’d help with the thinking for the job.

He wouldn’t talk, but he’d do his part.

But what about Shel, who’s good at art?

He paints and draws and sculpts so well.

Our project would look great no doubt!

I’m sure I should be asking Shel.

How can I choose just one from three?

I need them all! I’m feeling sick.

I’m as dizzy as a spinning top.

When trying to choose. I just can’t pick!

But wait—why not ask them all to help?

A group of four is better than one.

I’d love to work with all my friends.

In such a group, we’d have such fun!

The work could be shared by four of us.

Be me and Shel and Dan and Jule.

We’d fit together like puzzle pieces.

And take the grand prize in the school!

If you are not happy with China’s high Internet fees and slow speed, you are not alone.So is Premier Li Keqiang.On April 14, he said in a meeting that the government should speed up the Internet and lower the fees.

“The first question people ask at a new place is ‘Is there WI-FI’ because Internet service fees are so high,” said Premier Li.According to a recent survey by CCTV, the average cost of 1GB mobile Internet data per month in China is 100 Yuan, while it is only 60 Yuan in the US and 40 in Japan.

However, high prices don’t necessarily mean good service.The average Internet speed in China was 4.25Mbps(兆比特每秒)in late 2014.South Korea had the fastest average Internet speed-25.3 Mbps.People can download a 1 GB movie within 6 minutes in South Koreas, but in China it would take half an hour.

To improve Internet services, the key is to build more fiber(光纤) networks.Through them we can send text, pictures and videos globally in less than a second, which offer high speed Internet.Besides, the lack of market competition is another problems___________________________________________.

Do you want to be happier? Well, you can do something about it. Some psychologists( 心理学家) believe that 10% of your happiness is due to life conditions and 40% is the result of your own choices. Your own choices include how you manage your time at school, your relationships, your friends, your activities and your health. So you have a lot of control over how happy you feel.1. Here are some tips on how to do that.

Surround yourself with positive( 积极的) people. Spend time with positive people and your ideas will become active. On the other hand, good friends will encourage, support, and lift you up when you're down.2.

That's also true for the people that we work with Don't try to be perfect. Remember that nothing can ever be perfect.3.

Instead think about what you already have. Think about what you've already done. Think of where you are today as a step towards tomorrow. Don't try to be perfect, just try to do things well﹣with excellence.

Focus on now. Don't think about all the things that can go wrong, like failing at school or your friend leaving you. Thinking like this only results in worry and stress, which is a waste of time and energy.4. Just worry about making today great, because the best way to be happy is just to enjoy each day.

Compare yourself to yourself, not to other people. There will always be someone smarter, or richer, or better looking or more successful than you. There will always be someone with a bigger house and a bigger boat than you. Someone will always have more. Rather, look at what you have got and who you are, accept and value that. Work toward being a better one than you were last month or last year. 5. And you will feel a lot happier with, and about yourself.

A.They see the best in you, and that helps you see the best in yourself.

B.That way you will be pleased with the progress that you are making.

C.The key is to take control by making choices and developing habits that make you happier.

G.Your relationship with your parents doesn't have to be perfect before you can be happy.
