A wise man once said, “It’s better to do a few things well than a lot of things poorly．” As you make the transition to a tougher workload, focus on maintaining a balance of schoolwork, scouting, other activities, friends, family and just the games you are enjoying playing．You may always think of this: we can learn things not only in classes, but outside of classes．You’ll be happier, not to mention more successful at the things you like． |
If you’re having trouble keeping up, ask your teachers if they can recommend someone to tutor you for an hour after school．I know it sounds like torture, but trust me．I was struggling through math and eventually my mum made me get a tutor．I was very angry．But it turned out that with the tutor’s help, I could get through my work in an hour instead of three hours at home．So after a few weeks, I caught up with the rest of the class． |

You should be flattered—he looks up to you．But I understand; it’s completely up-setting．My little sister went through a stage in which she constantly bought the same exact clothes as me．But after a few months she turned to someone else．Wait it out for a while, and your friend will probably discover his own sense of style．Then let him know you think he’s cool, especially he does his own thing．Your comment will spare him embarrassment, boost his self-esteem and, ultimately, get him to stop cloning around． |
You’re right．Intelligence is a quality that everyone wants, and as you get older it’s going to be what people love and respect about you．And yet, just as hyper-social people need to make time for schoolwork, you might benefit from a little balance as well．In addition to exercising your brain with classes and books, exercise your spirit with music, sports, Scouts or other activities．Bonus: Some of those kids who laughed at you might someday realize how cool you actually are and shut up． |

The fact that you recognize what the problem is and want to fix it is fantastic．Avoid becoming a regular in the schoolmaster’s office, and make a good first impression in the new place．This doesn’t mean you have to be a top student．Jus do your work, speak up in class when the teacher asks a question and seek extra help if your grades start to slip．And stay involved in after-class activities so that you can keep yourself too busy to get into trouble and help you burn off some of the energy that tends to land you in hot water． |
A teacher once gave me this great advice: Prepare a conversation in your head before going into an uncomfortable social situation．It sounds like a lot of work, but it’s easy – and it works! For example, if you know you’re hiking a certain mountain with Scouts this weekend, go online and Google the area you’re hiking．Find an interesting or funny fact or two and talk about them when your troop is climbing up the mountain．As for the “cool” kids, forget them．Coolness runs out after high school． |

Genius, in Roman mythology(神话)，a protecting, or guardian, spirit．It was believed that every individual, family, and city had its own genius．The genius received special worship as a household god because it was thought to bestow(给予)success and intellectual powers on its devotees．For this reason, the word came to designate a person with unusual intellectual powers．The genius of a woman was sometimes referred to as a juno．In art, the genius of a person was frequently depicted(描述)as a winged youth; the genius of a place, as a serpent．
Recently, scientists have discovered that in the human brain exists a “genius button”(天才按钮)．Once the button is pushed, an ordinary person may have some special talent for arithmetic, music, sports and so on．Though it hasn't come true yet, many people are arguing about it．Some people think it a good idea and want to have a try, while others strongly object to it．
What is your opinion?Do you want to turn into a genius?
Albert：In my opinion, such a “button” can do a lot of good．It may help us to develop our abilities so that we can make new discoveries．As a result, we could solve many problems and have a more comfortable life．I could become skilled at science, art or economics(经济)．
Andy：I don't know whether such a “button” is good or not for us．It sounds attractive but I'm afraid it's hard to put it into practice．
Christian：I do think it's a great discovery．If possible, I am eager to become a genius．But I would make sure this “button” couldn't do me any harm before turning it on．
Eric：I would just like to be a normal person．As far as I know, some talented people are strange．They may be good at one thing but not talented in other areas．
Simon：If more people became geniuses, it may lead to an increase in high-tech crime(犯罪)，such as stealing money through the Internet and creating harmful computer viruses．It is hard to imagine what the world would be like if all the criminals were very clever．
Roy：Although it is convenient, I don't think its right to become cleverer in this way．If someone wants to be successful in maths or art, he or she should work hard．I believe success requires hard work as well as natural gifts．

查看习题详情和答案>>During my review for the medical boards, I gained 101 pounds in four months and promised to exercise when all of this was over. I successfully passed the medical boards and now I have to face the music.
One morning, I woke up and decided to go to a park to start working out. I got out of bed, washed my face, brushed my teeth and put on my sports shoes. Then I headed for the park. While going there, I decided to set a goal for myself, that, I had to finish 10 rounds before I went home.
Upon reaching the park, I joined the people in walking around the park. I was enjoying every step, breathing in fresh air, appreciating the green grass and looking at the dried leaves falling from the trees while listening to my iPod.
On my 5th round, I felt tired, hungry and thirsty. I thought of giving it up, going home and sleeping again. As the idea battled in my mind, I was reminded about the goal I had set just a while ago. I kept on walking and as I looked around, I saw myself in the midst of men and women much older than me who continued to move on. Some even suffered from a stroke(中风) that had difficulty walking, some took on small steps with a cane on hand and some took on pauses before they continued their walk but still they kept on walking.
Suddenly I realized that each of us has set our own goals in our lives, such as reaching a dream, building up a career, correcting a past mistake or starting a business. The process won’t be easy. We may encounter(遇到) a lot of difficulties and obstacles that may push us to just give up.
Amazed by the men and women whom I walked with that morning, I finished my goal in the end.
Let us be inspired with the people around us who experience the same or even a greater amount of difficulty but still don’t give up and continue until they reach their goals and now are savoring(享受) their success.
