Starting high school means many changes in your life. Most teenagers look forward to the first day of high school, but still feel a little bit nervous. In order to make your high school life easier, you can follow these tips.

Learn all you can about your first day before the first day. Take part in some activities that are held at the school for new students to know the school better. If parents are invited to these activities, take yours with you. Carefully look over all the materials you receive. Be sure you know where the school’s buildings are.

Get the things you will need for class. Buy the things suggested on your teachers’ supply lists and place your materials for each class separately.

Keep up with your high school workload. If you find you’re not doing well in a subject, make use of after-school study groups or ask your teacher to help you with your schoolwork. Consider private tutoring to get you through a difficult time.

There’re more after-school activities in high school than in middle school, such as clubs, music and theater groups, student government, and sports teams. Make friends and be seen at such school activities. Join a club or other organizations to meet people and develop friendships. Ask someone in school activities if you don’t know how. This is a good time to do what you like doing and an opportunity to try new things. Who said school has to be all work and no play?

Since you’ll attend more activities in high school than in middle school, you’ll have to learn how to manage you time.

Stop eating yourself stupid we all know that poor nutrition can lead to bad health and even weight gain. Now add “lack of intelligence” to the growing list. A recent study has found that what you eat could very likely play a role in how smart you are.

According to the study, rats fed a high-fat diet for 10 days showed signs of weakness and even had trouble finding food that was waiting for them. 1.  Actually a high-fat diet could weaken our intelligence--but so can a low-calorie diet. The trick appears to lie in finding a nice balance.

Here are ways to achieve that happy balance and make you smarter through diet, exercise and improving your brain power.

Figure out how many calories you need to maintain your weight. __2.__ If you need to drop a few pounds, take away the number you get by 400 calories; consume that number of calories each day until you drop the weight.

__3.__Aim for healthy foods that include good amounts of protein, fiber, fruits and vegetables, healthy whole grains, healthy fats and plenty of water. Well! Remember: All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Read a book. Try a new recipe. Do some puzzles. __4.__

Exercise regularly with a positive attitude. Aim for at least three 30-minute training sessions a week(but more is better). I like simple exercise such as walking, but anything that raises the heart rate is good. _5._  Combine them! Some people like to listen to classical music such as Bach or Mozart, but rock music lovers will be happy to learn that this kind of music can help make them smarter as well.

A．You may be fond of music, too.

B．Your health depends on your exercise plan.

C．Aim to get this number of calories each day.

D．Don’t forget to exercise your mind while doing so.

E．You may be wondering what this has to do with us.

F．These are all good ways to help increase your intelligence.

G．Eat the right foods in addition to getting the right number of calories.
