We have always been interested in the Moon. 2, 000 years ago people already knew it circles around the Earth and it is in different places in the sky at different times of the year. At that time, everything about the Moon was learned by watching it carefully in the sky.

When scientists could use telescopes (望远镜) to study the Moon more clearly.. Their ideas began to change. They could see that there were lots of rocks on the surface of the Moon. Most scientists thought Moon rocks would be different from the rocks on the Earth.

in 1969, moon rocks were finally brought to the earth and studied. much to their surprise, scientists found that, except for water, the Moon and the Earth were made of the same things. Once again new ideas came out according to the new information.

After years of study, most scientists now think that the Moon was once part of the Earth. They believe about 4 million years ago, something of the same size as Mars hit the Earth. This sent billions of rocks into space around the Earth. These rocks slowly joined together and at last became the Moon.

In the future, our ideas about the Moon may change again. However, we will still be interested in the Moon.

There are many things you can do to keep friendship strong forever.

Trust is very important in keeping any relationship strong and long lasting. If you trust the person whom you have a good relationship with and the other person also trust you in the same way, then you two have a good relationship.

You can remember important date of your friends such as their birthdays and wish them or give gifts to them on the special days. Many people say that money is the most important thing to consider, but remember friendship is not about money. You can find something small and inexpensive for their gifts or send online cards.

A friend should also always help others even when it is not very convenient. So have a helping hand ready at all times.

Sometimes distance makes relationships even closer. So, if you are far from your friends, there are many ways you can remain in contact. You can use email, chat programs, and you can also write a blog and share your daily life activities with your friends.

If there is anything that makes you happy, share it with your friends. Listen to their thoughts as well. If they have achieved something noticeable, congratulate them and celebrate with them.

I have seen good friendships and then there is unhealthy competition between two friends. Though this may not happen in many cases, it is better to keep this idea in mind since it may happen to you.

As far as I have seen and experienced, it will be better not to either lend to or borrow money from your good friend. Of course, we have to do this with friends. But, attention should be paid so that your friendship may not end.

How to Keep Your Friendship Stronger

If you can’t get along well with your neighbors, you’ll make your life terrible day after day. But if you take the time to develop a good relationship with your neighbors, it can bring you many advantages including a friendlier community, a safer neighborhood and a nicer and more comfortable area. There are some suggestions for you to be a good neighbor.

If you're new in the neighborhood, introduce yourself. Say hello, offer a welcoming gift and share or ask about the local area.

Be aware of the shared walls. If you and your neighbors share living spaces and live close to each other, try to put the noisy washing machines and dryers away from the shared walls.

Keep your pet dog on a leash (皮带) if it has a habit of running wildly on your neighbor’s lawns, especially if they have a pet of their own, and make sure to clean up after it.

When you park your car, be sure not to block anyone’s doorway or leave them a very small parking space. Don't slam (砰地关上) your car doors late at night.

Cut the grass in your garden as often as you can, because the grass in your yard is not only ugly but also can spread to your neighbor's yard.

Really good neighbors look after each other. They offer to help, especially on matters that have influence on the larger neighborhood and look for chances to communicate. Great neighbors lead to great neighborhoods.

In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, for they believe that it is helpful for social progress and richness, others say that competition is bad; and that it sets one person against another and leads to unfriendly relationship between people.

I have taught many children who held the belief(看法) that their self – worth came from how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, performing well and winning are often life-and-death matters. Sadly, they forget to develop many other human qualities.

However, while some seem to wish to succeed very much, others think quite the opposite. They, especially young people have suffered from competitive stress from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often find that they choose to fail. They seem to choose failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try.” In fact, they are worried that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean they were worth nothing.

Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove their self – worth. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self – worth come from how well one performs in comparison(比较) with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. I suggest that they can discover a new meaning in competition only when such worries and fear begin to disappear.

Opinions about competition

This year, about 2,300 teenagers from all over the world will spend about 10 months in US homes. At the same time about 1,300 American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and learn the rest of the world.

Here is a two-way student exchange in action. Fred,19, spent last year in Germany with George's family. In turn, George's son Mike spent a year in Fred's home in America.

Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived. But after two months of studying, the language became easy for him. School was completely different from what he had expected and it was much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took 14 subjects instead of 6 that were usually taken in the US.

Family life, too, was different. The father's word was the law. All the activities were done with the family rather than individually. Fred found the food to be too simple at first. He also missed having a car.

"Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out to have a good time. In Germany, you walk but you soon learn to like it ."

At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his own ideas. "I suppose I should criticize American schools" he says, "It is far too easy for our level but I have to say that I like it a lot. In Germany, we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many other activities. I think that maybe American schools are better in training their citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two."

Differences between American school life and German school life

The most important thing that leads to success is what you do every day. Your habits will decide whether you are successful or not. If you have strong positive (积极的) habits, you will succeed in the long term. On the other hand, if you have strong negative (消极的)habits, you will fail in the long term. It does not matter whether you succeed today or not.

Why are habits so important?

A positive action will not change your life, but the same action repeated 1,000 times will have a great effect on your life. For example, if you go to the gym one time, you won’t see some differences. However, if your go there 1,000 time over a five-year period, you will see a big difference in your body. The same is true of health, relationships, work, and school.

How to develop positive habits?

There’s nothing easier than developing positive habits. You simply have to do it every day. If you want to develop the habit of reading, read every day. Habits are created by repetition (重复). The more you do an action, the easier it becomes in the long run.

How to get rid of negative habits?

You can destroy (破坏) negative habits only by stopping them. If you are a smoker, stop smoking. Yes, it will be very difficult at the beginning. The first week will be very hard. After three weeks, you will feel a lot better. It’s hard to get rid of negative habits because you got a lot of pleasure from these habits in the past.

You can do it!

Everybody can change. All it takes is courage and determination(决心). Take action right now! Don’t be afraid. Yes, you will probably make mistakes along the way. But never forget that success is waiting for you if you have positive habits in your life. If you refuse to give up, success will be yours.
