People could realize the importance of dreams and know that dreams give meaning to life. Every great achievement has been the result of years of dreaming. Teenagers and young people should be encouraged to dream. (2)Older people should also believe that it is never too late to dream and that human mind is never too old to make dreams turn into reality.

Here are some advice on how to realize our beautiful dreams.

Never giving up is the key to make our dreams come true. We may fail from time to time, but we can learn from failure, correct our mistakes and try again until we achieve our goals. Our life is like a long journey which is not all roses. (3)It sometimes has wind and rain. We believe rainbows will appear after storms.

Cooperation is also necessary. Everyone likes a person who is good at cooperating with others. Besides, in our society most problems can’t be solved by one person alone. (4)合作正成为人们解决问题的最重要的方法之一，especially for people living in the developing society.

At the same time, we should learn to examine our abilities because it helps us know our advantages and disadvantages as well as get a full control of ourselves. Then we may be confident enough to face challenges.

Follow the suggestions above, and our dreams are sure to come true.

If you see someone you'd like to speak to, say something. Don't wait for the other person to start a talk.

Just meeting someone new【9】(do) mean that you'll make friends with that person. Friendship is based on mutual (相互的) likings and "give and take".【10】 takes time and effort (精力)for us to develop friendship. And there are things that stop a new friendship from growing.

My Unforgettable School Life

How time flies! My colorful middle school life is nearly ending. Here is what I think of about myself.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The activity started on April 12. Each student who volunteered to take part in this activity got a bracelet(手环). If the students did not use their cell phones, there would be a photo on the screen of the

bracelet to show that. If they used their cell phones, a different photo would appear on the screen of the bracelet. After the last class of each day, the students sent the photos to the school’s public Wechat.

More than 800 students wished to take part in this test, and 400 were chosen. After seven days, only 103 students remained. The test was set for 21 days because some scientists believe that 21 days is long enough to help people form a habit.

According to the teachers in the university, the activity was not a competition. It depended on students themselves to make the decision. The teachers hoped their students could form better study habits through activities like this one.

【1】When did the activity “Cell Phone Ninja” start?

【2】How many students were chosen to take part in this test?

【3】What is 21 days long enough for?

【4】Who made the decision in the activity?

【5】Where did the students send the photos ?

Firstly, to play sports safely in hot weather, you must drink water. Sports drinks are great for athletes, but they have so much sugar that they’ll dehydrate（使脱水）you more. However, drinking a

few bottles of sports drinks will be good for you.

Secondly, be sure to take enough breaks to let your body rest. If your coach doesn’t let you do so in the heat, don’t wait until you feel uncomfortable. Just be honest with your coach when you need breaks.

Thirdly, when you have a break, don’t sit in the sun. With the sun beating down on you, you’ll only heat up and sweat（冒汗）more. Take a seat under a tree, or even better, go indoors for a little while.

Cooling yourself down can help you stay active longer.

Fourthly, remember that the earlier in the day you start your exercise, the cooler it will be. If you can start practice before the sun comes up, you have a few good hours to practice in the cool hours of the morning. Also, the earlier you practice, the earlier you can finish the exercise. If you need more practice time, come back to the field later in the evening when the sun is setting.

Last but not least, you should watch your food. Eat food which is high in water, starch（淀粉）and

carbohydrate(糖类), but be sure to get a good balance in your diet.

As long as you pay attention to the above, playing sports safely in the heat isn’t a difficult thing.

(课程表) may be the cure.

This suggestion is based on a recent study carried out by scientists from Royal Holloway, University of London, the UK. They found that teenagers could get higher marks in math if they studied in the mornings and better grades in history if they were taught in the afternoons.

The researchers studied students’ grade reports, class timetables and absence rates( 缺席率) at a

middle school in Bulgaria over nine years. The results showed that when teenagers had math classes earlier in the day, they scored about 7 percent higher in tests than when taught in the afternoon. Lower-ability students feel stressed most when they were studying math in the afternoon. In history, students taught in the afternoon scored about 6 percent higher than when they were taught in the

morning. However, there was no sign that similar patterns( 模 式 ) work for other subjects such as

languages or geography.

Velichka Dimitrova, who did the study, said the findings show that we perform( 表 现 ) better at

different times of the day. “In the morning, our brains are better and fresher, so we are better at doing something like problem solving, where we require more speed and attention” Dimitrova told The Telegraph. “In the afternoon, it seems that this process slows down. On the other hand, history is more suitable for the afternoon, when we are more creative and open to discussion,” she said. Subjects such as foreign languages require both memory and creativity. This is perhaps why the time of day had no influence on language learning.

Time-of-day influences such as these are believed to have something to do with the body clock.

This is the system in our bodies that controls when we need to sleep. Some schools in the US and UK have tried later school starting times for teenagers, whose body clocks change as they grow into adults. Dimitrova believes schools should jump at this chance to improve their students’ performance just by changing their timetables.

A young painter completed a nice picture. To get people’s t【1】 about his skills, he put it at a crossing on a busy street. And below it a board read, “Gentlemen, I have painted this piece. S【2】

I’m new, I might make some mistakes in it. Please put a cross (叉号) wherever you see a mistake.”

When he came back in the evening to c【3】 his picture, he was shocked to see that the whole picture was filled with crosses. And some people e【4】 wrote something on his picture. Sadly, he ran to his master and said, “I failed. And if this is what I have learned, I’m not w【5】 teaching. ”

The master smiled and suggested, “I’ll let you know that you’re a great artist. Now go to paint the same picture again and give it to me. ”

Then they went to the same street the next morning and put the new picture exactly at the same place. Now the master took out another b【6】 which said, “Gentlemen, I painted this piece. There might be some mistakes in it. I have put a box with colors and brushes just below. Please give me a h【7】 . If you see a mistake, pick up the brush and correct it.”

Two days later, they came back to the place. The young painter was s【8】 to see that actually there was not a single correction done!

It’s easy to say but difficult to do. If you want to help people i【9】 their behavior, you’d better learn how to help people change their attitudes (态度) or skills. Also, always remember not to judge (评 判) y【10】 by someone else’s words and feel bad two homes.
