When you are feeling unhappy or forget how great you are, these are six ways to make you feel good about yourself.
① Look at the mirror and say to yourself“I am a special person and there’s no one in the world like me. I can do anything!”It may not sound good, but it really works!
② Do something nice for someone. Helping others always makes you feel good.
③ Smile! Be friendly to people you meet. Look for the good things in your friends and family.
④ Learn something new! Have you always wanted to make your room nicer or learn how to swim? Go for it! New challenges are fun and give you a sense of accomplishment when you have finished.
⑤ Read and start a diary. Turn off the TV and let your imagination fly! Write down your thoughts, dreams or anything you want! Writing always helps to express your feelings.
⑥ Stay with your family. We all need our family time. Talk with your Mom or Dad or maybe even your cousin.
【小题1】This passage may be taken from_______.

I will never forget the year when I was 12.My mother told us that we would not get Christmas gifts because there was not enough money .I felt sad and thought, ”What shall I say when the other kids ask me about my gifts?” I started to hope the Christmas wouldn’t come that year. Just then three women came to our house with gifts for all of us. For me，they brought a doll .I felt so happy.
Years later, my life changed a lot. So one Christmas, I wanted to do something special. I asked forty friends to help me. We visited 125 orphans(孤儿)to come to our Christmas party. For every child, we prepared a beautiful gift.
Finally the moment came. I called out,” One, two, three. Open your gifts!” As the children opened their boxes, the whole room was full of their bright smiles. The feeling I got from that Christmas so long ago came again.
【小题1】___gave the writer a Christmas gift when she was 12.

Dear Alice，

You really have two different questions here，so we’ll discuss them one at a time．

Your problems at school may be a result of a number of things．You don’t say much about how these classmates get along with each other．It’s possible that all the students are feeling a little cautious(谨慎的) in the first term．

It’s also possible that the others are unkind．If this is so，you have to find out why you are the class “outsider．”

In your letter you say you often offer to help others with their work．Is it possible that your classmates don’t understand your offers? Could it seem that you were trying to“buy”friends with these offers?

Is it possible that you took no notice of your classmates when you had your good friend near you? They may have felt hurt at that time．It may take a time for them to believe in you if so．Try to ask one classmate directly what the problem is．If you hear a negative(负面的)answer，at least you’ll know what to do．

Yours truly，

Shelia
