Ben
When I left school five years ago, I said to myself, “That’s that! No more learning for me．Now I can enjoy myself in the evening．” But about a year ago the boss said, “We’re going to get a computer in the near future．” What does he mean? I simply don’t know．Anyway, I decided to go to evening classes．I’m quite an expert(专家) on computers now and you know, I actually enjoy studying．
Eve
I haven’t much interest in studying．To be honest, I don’t like reading very much, except for magazines and that sort of thing．Just reading, that is, to kill the time．But I do enjoy watching TV．Not that I watch everything．In fact, I choose my programmes very carefully．I’m particularly interested in current affairs(时事)．In some ways I think I learn more in this way than I did at school．
Ted
I’m a very different sort of person－I simply love doing things．That’s why I enjoy sports so much．I mean, actually playing．I hardly ever watch it on TV, but I do read quite a bit about it．I’m even interested in the history of sports．I don’t have much time for anything else, except that I quite like dancing．Some people say I’m not very good at it, though．
Joan
I should say I have great interest in studying．I’d rather do this than anything else．Since I left school．I’ve taken courses in all sorts of things．I go to the city library once a week, but I much prefer evening classes because it’s more fun that way．My latest “craze（狂热）”－if you can call it that －is foreign languages．I’m learning two, not one!

Do more activities at school. Good students love animals and        others. April is Bird Loving Month in China. Is your school doing anything to celebrate it? You should join! That way you can learn more about animals and   46   them. When more people work together, it brings us more       .
Learn to co-operate. When your basketball team is       , only working together can make your team       . Be friendly to the people you are with. Try to think of others, not only yourself.
Be open to new ideas. Have you ever thought that people could live on the moon? Maybe you’ll        Earth Ⅱ someday. Don’t look down upon new ideas. All the ideas are important. You should welcome them, because new ideas make life better for everyone.
Pay attention to your safety. You should not walk        outside, especially at night.       where the public phones are. If ________ happens, you can find them quickly. If you take a bus to a place far away, please don’t sleep. This stops a stranger from        money from you.

When you get up in the morning, do you find it hard to choose what clothes to wear? If so, you probably need help to make the bigger choices in your life, like what to do when you’re older. Brave New Girls, by American author Jean Gade-berg, will help you make such choices. It says you must be a brave new girl. A brave new girl is one who is confident, healthy and happy. A brave new girl can realize her dreams. To be brave, you need to make a decision for yourself. Other people may tell you what to do, but you should not listen to them. You must only do what you want. If you always wear clothes like your favourite TV star, you must stop doing so. Instead, become your own star and wear the clothes you want. You have to like your body, it says. If you don’t, you will not take good care of it, and it won’t stay healthy. The book also says that girls must start becoming more confident. If you are confident, you’ll succeed in life. A good way to become confident is to realize that you are as clever as boys. In fact you are. Just look at their grades! Only then can you realize your dreams and become who you want to be.

Have you ever complained（抱怨）why life is so tiring? Does the sky sometimes seem dark to you? Are your studies sometimes not successful? Well, friends, cheer up and smile all the time. If you see the world with your warm heart, you’ll find that the whole world smiles to you.
While in school, sometimes you are tired of your lessons, but have you ever noticed the happy smile on your teacher’s face when you did a good job?
One day it is fine. But just before you want to go out, it suddenly starts to rain. Maybe you would feel very sad and start complaining about the weather. But dear friends, why don’t you sit down and listen to the free concert that the nature offers you? And with the rain in time, crops in the fields will grow better and better and farmers will have a good harvest.
Although everyone wants to succeed in what he tries to do, sometimes he has to face failure bravely. I think failure is not terrible, and the terrible thing is that we are afraid of it and give up hope. When we face failure, we must be confident in ourselves, draw a useful lesson from it and try our best to finish what we have decided to do. As a popular saying goes, “Failure is the mother of success.”
Attitude（态度）decides everything. With an optimistic（乐观）attitude life is easy and pleasant. Let’s smile to whatever we meet and the whole world will smile to us.
