Everybody wants a new start for a new school year. So, students often go back-to-school shopping. They buy school things and shoes. But, the story is not so easy.
"Mum, I want this pair of shoes!"
"Dear! Those are 900 yuan! That is too1 !"
"But all the boys in my class wear this brand (牌子)!"
So the real story is: Kids2to catch up with school fashion.
Chinese students 3 uniforms at school. Parents think all the kids look the same, but kids know the differences. The "rich" kids wear amazing watches, ride good4 and use cool pencil cases. They show off their expensive things to5 kids. Then everyone else wants them too. For example, some "rich" kids use a pencil box that61,000 yuan! It not only holds pencils, but also has a thermometer (温度计), a compass (指南针), a music box and even games in it! But think about it. Do you really need 7 a special pencil box? What can you do with a compass or a thermometer in class? They only distract (分散注意) you.
As for these "rich" kids, they are not rich at all.8 parents buy them all their school things. They may have an advantage now, but it won't last forever. If you want to show off9 money you have, you have to make it yourself first. So, study hard. You will get a great job in the future.
Parents should also learn10to refuse their kids' demands (要求). They should tell their kids: as students, what is really important is not school fashion but good school grades.

The first day the boy had237 nails into the wall. Then he put fewer and fewer nails. He found it was3to be not angry than to drive those 4into the wall. Finally the day came when the boy didn't get 5at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to be not angry. The days 6and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that 7nails were gone. The father took his son by the hand and led him to the8. He said, "You have done 9, my son, but look at the holes in the wall. The wall will 10be the same. When you say things 11, they leave a scar(伤疤) just like this one. You 12put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won't matter 13you say I'm sorry, the wound(伤口) is still there. A mental hurt is as bad as a physical one. Friends are a very rare jewel, indeed. They make you 14and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always15 to open their hearts to us.
