Apple has entered the textbook market. The technology giant(巨头) introduced iBooks textbooks in early February, 2012.

    iBooks textbooks are digital books in different subjects, including science , maths, history and geography. The company offers a collection of textbooks to high school students. It offers a “new textbook experience” and suggests its iBooks textbooks are “the next chapter(章节) in learning”.

It sounds like good news for students. Think of it. No more carrying heavy school bags full of textbooks. Every textbook you need can be stored on your iPad. No more having to buy expensive textbooks which you will only use for a year or two and then sell or give away.

Of course there’s a hidden difficulty. You need to own an iPad and as you know, it is not cheap.You also need to buy digital- textbooks, most priced each at $ 14.99 ( 94.74 yuan) or less.

You can play videos, work out geometrical(几何的) problems in 3D，listen to music and make notes. You can share your learning materials on networking sites with other students. Instead of boring textbooks which are quickly out of date, you can have an interactive(互动的) learning experience.

Will Apple revolutionize(变革) learning? Let’s wait and see.

For a long time being happy was considered natural，and there was nothing special to do about it. Now we know that we can work at getting along well with other people. It is possible to act in such a way that other people will like us better.

One way is being unselfish，not wanting everything your own way or asking for the best share of everything, including the attention of your friends. Another way is to look for good points, not bad ones in other people.

You don’t have to be spineless(无骨气的)in order to be popular. In fact，you will be liked and respected if you are not afraid to stand up for your rights. But do it politely and pleasantly. One way to develop a good character is being friendly and polite to your own group, to older people，to strangers and especially to those who do not look important or do not interest you.

______ ▲ _______, so you must learn not to be too unhappy when you make a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes, and no one is to be blamed（责备） unless he refuses to learn from them. Many young people become discouraged(泄气的) when they know their unpleasant qualities—selfishness，laziness，etc. Just remember that we all have some of these faults and have to fight against them.

When something is wrong，it is best to try to make it right. Perhaps you don’t like a teacher or a classmate. Try to see why，and look at yourself，too. Make sure that you are not doing something to make others dislike you. In time, things may turn out all right, then you simply have to learn to get along the best you can with the situation, without thinking too much about it. Worrying never helps in a situation you can’t change.
