I am studying in a middle school now, but I am not a good student. I often get into trouble in class. For example,
I sometimes talk with my classmates, or sleep on the desk. Yesterday I didn't finish my homework, so my teacher
called my mom, and my mom was very angry with me. I felt sorry about that, too.
However, I still have fun at school. I like sports and I am a member of the school football team now. I am also
crazy about handcraft and I am good at it. I can make a lot of things by hand, like toys and models. Can you guess
my dream? I want to be an artist in the future.
Next year, I will take the entrance exam (入学考试) to high school. I promise that I will work hard at my studies
and pass the exam. I also want to go to a good university and make my dream come true.

you can add a new friend by sending someone a friend request (请求). If you later fall out with that person,
what do you do? You can hit the "unfriend" button (操作框) and remove (移走) him or her from your friend list. That means you won't talk, exchange information, or see each other's updates (更新) on the website any more.
That is a quick way to solve problems, isn't it? In fact, "unfriend" is often used on social networking
websites. It has become so popular that Oxford University Press recently chose it as the 2009 word of the year.
Experts at Oxford University Press look at how the words of the English language change from year to
year. They choose words that are popular and have important cultural meanings.
Christine Lindberg, editor for Oxford's dictionary program, said the word "unfriend" is popular now and
may stay popular for a long time. People understand its meaning in the online social networking context
(上下文), and also accept it as a modern verb. So it makes an interesting choice for the Word of the Year.
How to use the word? You can say "I decided to unfriend my roommate on Facebook after we had a fight"
or "I unfriended Alice on MySpace when she said something bad to me."
B. Three.
C. Four.

◆ One night I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as a head teacher. “ I want to talk to you about Karl’s absences(缺席).” Before he could say another word I choked up(哽咽). And said sadly, “ I love my son. I’ve tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. It’s out of my hands.” For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. The head teacher seriously said, “ Thank you for your time.”
◆ Karl’s next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades. He was even on the list of the best students at school. In his fourth year, I took part in a parent-teacher meeting.I noticed that his teachers were surprised at the way he had turened himself around. On our way home, he said, “ Mum, remember that call from the head teacher last year?” I nodded. “That was me. I thought I’d play a joke but I heard what you said, It really hit me how much I was hurting you.That’s when I knew I had to make you proud.”

My teenage son Karl became withdrawn after his father died. As a single parent, I tried to do my best to talk to him. But the more I tried , the more he pulled away. When his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes. In this way he would never graduate. I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him. Nothing worked.
