___【小题3】___ They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about.

Are You Ready for College?
Before you send in your college applications, keep this in mind: it’s not the norm (准则) in every culture for students to go to college right out of high school.
【小题1】So if you find yourself applying for college simply because it’s the thing to do after high school, think again. Going to college right after high school may be the norm in your community, but it’s not the norm everywhere and it may not be the best decision for you.
【小题2】 Yes, higher education often gives young people a big advantage in the working world, but not always. A solid technical or business school application can give you an advantage as well, and if the environment seems like a better one for you than a traditional college campus, this might be your best choice. A lot of people lead successful lives with a high school education and years of work experience.
The price of a college or university education has become a serious burden for young people and their families. 【小题3】 In some cases, putting off college for a year or two while a student earns money full time can make sense. 【小题4】
【小题5】 Almost all students suffer from homesickness, but for some students, the transition may be too much to deal with.
| A.Is going to college always the best choice for high school graduates? |
| B.Spend some time considering your choices before sending in your applications. |
| C.Besides, it’s quite possible that going to college is not the right choice for you. |

【小题1】
Today,kids have more worries and face more pressures than ever before. Here are a few tips to help your child focus on and do well in school.
●Create a personal schedule
Recording everything that must be done on a calendar or “to do” list will help him to keep track of important dates and deadlines. If he keeps it in a visible place he will have no problem acknowledging upcoming events and will be better able to plan how and where to spend his time.
●Watch the clock
【小题2】 I also recommend setting his clock or watch five minutes ahead since it's always easy to run late. When it comes to something like catching a bus,just five minutes can make a significant difference.
●Focus
He should train himself to be able to concentrate alone on one specific task. This is much easier in a noisefree environment. No TV or radio should be on to distract him.
● 【小题3】
Lack of sleep is proven to harm us physically. The more sleep we get,the more alert we are. We thus have more energy to handle life's daily tasks. The average adult needs at least six hours of sleep a night and the average child needs at least eight.
●Stay in shape
Through spending time outdoors or playing sports with friends,he can “blow off some steam” so to speak,as well as reenergize. 【小题4】
●Talk through your problems
Be able to share his concerns with you. 【小题5】 If you make it clear that you understand him and are willing to help,not only will you contribute to his emotional health but you'll help build an open and honest relationship as well.
| A.Sharing feelings often makes them easier to deal with. |
| B.Help your child work better to realize his aim. |
| C.Setting an alarm for the morning is a must. |
| D.Get enough sleep. |
F.Encourage your child to be positive.
G.Encourage him to get outside.
Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from the list A - F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.
| A. Building Trust B. Approval and encouragement C. Communication D. Belonging and Acceptance E. The importance of relationship F. Being responsible |
【小题2】One of the most important things in life is to be loved and accepted by others. This gives you a feeling of security. You feel secure when you know you can count on family and friends to love and to accept you the way you are. You add to your feeling of security by making others feel loved. Helping people you care about makes you feel giving and unselfish.
【小题3】Think about how good you feel when someone compliments or thanks you. “What a good job” or “I appreciate your help” are comments that you like to hear about yourself. Such comments make you feel worthwhile. Naturally you feel happy when you receive a compliment. Likewise, you can compliment your family members or friends on their accomplishments.
【小题4】Learn to express your thoughts clearly and listen to what others say. Talk things over with your family and friends. Share your hopes and dreams. Express your joys and frustrations. When family members and friends are talking, take time to listen to what they are saying. Give them clues that show you are listening, such as a nod of approval or a smile.
【小题5】Another relationship skill that helps people get along with one another is trust. To earn trust you need to show parents, adults, and friends that you can handle new experiences and responsibilities. Being honest and truthful with people can also help you.
