Will you be excited when you finally get to relax? Here, three of the studetns tell us what they plan to do after the big exam.

Li Junzhe, 15, Huaihua, Hunan Province (省) My friends and I will travel to Beijing right after the exam. We planned to go by ourselves but were turned down by our parents. They said we were too young to travel alone. They said they would go with us. I'm okay with it because I've already traveled by myself.

Zhu Hangian, 15, Dexing, Jiangxi Province What am I going to do this summer? Of course I'll go to see the Great Wall! But before that, I will watch movies. Because of the big exam, I haven't seen any movies for a long time. I will watch whatever is in the cinema! As for the Great Wall, I can't wait to see the beautiful views.

Dong Xu, 14, Dalian, Liaoning Province I will, no doubt, play computer games for days after the big exam. My mother never let me during the past few years. I can't imagine how exciting it will be. Also my friends and I will go to see the Great Wall.

People are always afraid of making mistakes. But sometimes it's not bad to make mistakes, and here is why.

At first, mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things. It's always good to try new things, because when you are trying new things you are growing. If you never try new things, how can you improve? How can you create? The simple answer is. "You can't." Look around you, everything you see is the result of someone trying new things.

Another good thing about mistakes is this: when you are making mistakes, you are learning. Edison failed 10,000 times before he invented the light bulb (电灯泡). When he was asked how he felt to fail so many times, he said that he hadn't failed 10,000 times, but had learned 10,000 things that didn't work.

Finally, when you make a mistake, you are that much closer to success. Why? Because you have said what you should say, and you have done what you should do. Every time you make a mistake, you are closer to success. But it doesn't mean that you can make mistakes without thinking. Instead, when you try new things you have to think them over, so that you can keep away from some unnecessary mistakes.

We shouldn't spend all our time and money on the only one way, but use them correctly. Because our time and money are limited(有限的).

There is an old saying, "If you are not making mistakes, you are not trying hard enough." So go bravely and make mistakes. And learn. And grow. And succeed.

1.If you are making a mistake, that means_______________.

A. you're careful

B. you're kind

C. you're growing

D. you know nothing

2.If you never try new things, you can't______

A. improve B. disappear C. spend D. blame

3. After Edison failed 10,000 times, he______

A. gave up

B. invented the light bulb

C. invented the computer

D. invented 10,000 new things

4. When you make a mistake, you are closer to_______

A. school B. money C. success D. everything

Dear Alice,

You really have two different questions here, so we’ll discuss one of them 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

Many of us don’t pay much attention to the importance of eye care. It is said that if you take care of your body, then you can surely be healthy. That is why our eyes should be given a lot of care. Natural eye care should be put in a number one place.

There are several causes leading to poor eyesight like not enough food, genes(基因) and aging. Televisions, computers and reading are also the causes of having poor eyesight. If you happen to work in front of the computer, it is best to take a break every once in a while. Something dirty can cause redness and they will make you uncomfortable. It is bad for your eyes, too. If this happens, the best way is to clean your eyes by using cold water. You must also try your best to protect your eyes from harmful things. For example, sunglasses are not just for fashion but they can also serve as a great way to protect your eye-sight from UV rays.

Eating healthy foods will do good to your eyesight. Remember that vitamin A, C and E are good for eyes. Try to eat food groups that have these vitamins. And you should do eye exercises because exercise protects your eyesight, too. If a person exercises regularly and eats the right kind of food, his eyes will stay in good condition for a long time.

All above are natural ways of eye care that help us keep healthy eyes. Being happy all the time can be helpful to a person’s eyesight, too. In a word, eye care is very important, no matter how old a person is.
