  [1]What makes you nervous and excited when you think about high school? That’s right:social life! In high school, you’re at an age when you’re going through lots of physical and emotional changes, and these changes can influence your relationships with people of your age.Here are some tips to keep in mind:

  [2]1.Accept that your friendships will change.You must understand that all friendships change and grow over time.It’s natural to feel sad about leaving a friend.You might be far away for a year, and then meet each other again when you find yourself in a new class together.Anything can happen; just listen to your heart and keep the lines of communication open!

  [3]2.Be willing to make new friends in your current classes.You might not have the same schedule as your middle school friends.You’ll be happiest if you have friends in the places where you spend the most time.

  [4]3.Find other people who like the same things you do.This will happen naturally if you know enough about yourself and what you’re good at.It’s important to be with people who are interested in what you’re interested in, so be willing to make friends in your new activities.

  [5]4.Try to think outside the idea of “groups”.This is a tough one.If you’re getting pressure from one group of friends not to hang out with someone else, maybe you’re better off as a free agent.

  [6]5.Get a head start.Are you starting at a new school where you don’t know anyone? If you are, jump on opportunities to _________ before you start school.Look for local community(社区)programs or town events where you can meet your future classmates.

When I was little, my family used to move frequently. Before I could even get acquainted with my schoolmates, my family was on the move again. I became very  36  because of this.
But a girl with dark skin and long shiny hair changed me. Her best characteristics are her openness and  37 . She is always smiling, like a beautiful sunflower following the sun. Without doubt I enjoyed being with her and soon we became good friends. As time went by, I gradually became a  38  girl. But this joyful period didn’t last long. We were admitted to different colleges. I felt like I had gone back to my always-on-the-move childhood. I felt  39  and helpless and I was afraid that I would  40  her as my best friend. She stayed calm and said to me: “Rain, you can achieve more than I do, so  41  to your dreams and make a big effort! Real friendship doesn’t fade and we will be best friends forever.” Maybe she didn’t realize what a great  42  she was to me at that time.
However, it turned out that my concerns were well-founded(有根据的). I felt that the  43 between us was getting bigger and bigger. One day, she sent me a text message happily telling me that she had fallen in love with a handsome boy in her class.
I felt happy for her, but at the same time I was secretly worried about our friendship. I  44   her several times intending to tell her to think carefully about her relationship with the boy, but I got no more messages from her. I felt sad that perhaps our friendship would not  45 . I had almost given up hope until she visited me at my campus a week later. She looked  46  but was wearing the most beautiful smile. She gave me a big hug and said: “I’m sorry. I want to be myself and your friend forever!” We cried together, ignoring the people walking past. She told me her sad story, and we knew we had gone back to how it was before.
Now I firmly believe that distance and time can’t  47  you from a friend. If you care enough about each other, friendship never fades.

I want to talk about the economy.Not "the economy" we hear about endlessly in the news each day and in politicians' speeches.I want to talk about the real economy, the one we live in day by day.

Most people aren't particularly interested in "the economy"."Share prices are flying high; interest rates are soaring;  the Dow Jones Index closed sixty-three points down on 8472.35." We hear this and subconsciously switch off.

Notice that "the economy" is not the same as the economy, "The economy" is what men in suits play with to make vast personal wealth.The economy is where the rest of us live on a daily basis, earning our living, paying our taxes, and purchasing the necessities of life.

We are supposed to be benefiting from all the advantages of a well-off society.So why do we feel tired and stressed? We have no time for anything other than work, which is ridiculous given the number of labor-saving devices in our lives.Our towns become more and more crowded.We poison our air and seas, and our food is full of chemicals.There's something wrong here.If times were truly good, then you may think we'd all feel optimistic about the future.Yet the majority of us are deeply worried.More than 90 percent of us think we are too concerned about ourselves and not concerned enough about future generations.

The term "economic expansion" suggests something desirable, but expansion simply means spending more money.More spending doesn't mean that life is getting better.We all know it often means the opposite - greed, crime, poverty, pollution.More spending merely feeds our whole economic system, which is based on production and consumption.Unless money keeps circulating,  the economy breaks down.If we don't keep consuming,  the whole system goes into stalemate(僵局).

How do we break the cycle and make some changes? We need to become far more aware of the results of our actions.We buy clothes that are made in sweat shops by virtual slaves in poor parts of the world.We create mountains of waste.We demand cheap food,  mindless of the fact that it totally lacks taste and is produced using chemicals that poison the land.

The consumption culture makes us unaware of the effect of our own behavior.Our main problem is not that we don't know what to do about it.It is gathering the desire to do it.
