James is a good student and he has lots of friends，but he also has a problem．Some older boys are bullying(欺负)him at school．James is very unhappy and he doesn’t know what to do about it．Here are some suggestions to him and other teenagers in this situation．
Don’t feel worried．It’s not your fault(过错)! Being bullied can make you feel very lonely and angry，but you are not alone．Don’t feel that you have to hide the problem．You should find a person you can trust，and tell them．It might be your teacher，your parents，or even your friend’s parents．After you tell someone，you will get some support and feel some relief(解脱)．
Speaking to an adult might make you nervous，but here are other things you can do．Some people express their feelings more easily on paper．Write a letter to someone or keep a diary．Include all the details(细节)about what the bullies do, as well as when and where the bullying happens．You can use it as proof to show what is going on．And it is a wonderful idea to
show your letter or diary to a teacher or another responsible adult．Then the bullies will feel very afraid if their names appear in a letter!
Also，don’t show you are sad and don’t try and fight with the bullies. You could get in trouble yourself. Ignore them and just walk away. The bullies will soon stop.

Do you want to keep your brain active and your memory strong? Here are some useful ways:
Choose the Brain Food
A proper diet will help keep your mind running strong all day long. Make sure to include plenty of fruits and green vegetables. Some of the best foods include: blueberries, blackberries, fish and fish oil, eggs, strawberries and so on.
Exercise
Get your body moving and your memory will soon follow. Exercise improves the heart’s blood flow. This, in turn, helps the brain function better and stay sharper.
Pick up a Book
The key to keeping your memory quick is to continue to challenge it. Try to always have a book in hand. After you’ve done reading a section or two, question and review the material you’ve read. Try to imagine what you’re reading. Discuss what you’ve read, and talk about it with friends or join a book club.
Develop Interest
We remember new things because we enjoy them. Find ways to make a boring subject fun by connecting it to something you already know. You can use your imagination and create a fun story behind a subject to help make it easier to remember.
Repeat after Me
When learning new information, the more you repeat it, the more likely you will be able to remember that information. Practice is the key to lasting memory.
Share with Others
Don’t keep your knowledge stored up. Teaching others is another great way to improve memory skills. Don’t be afraid of taking on new challenges. After learning something, it’s necessary to put the new information to use.

When you are in England, you must be very careful in the streets because the traffic drives on the left.
Before you cross the street, you must look to the right first and then the left.
If the traffic lights are green, the traffic can go. People on foot mustn’t cross.
In the morning and in the evening when people go to or come from work, the streets are very busy. The traffic is most dangerous then.
When you go by bus in England, you have to be careful, too. Always remember the traffic moves on the left. So you must be careful. Have a look first or you will go the wrong way.
In many English cities, there are big buses with two floors. You can sit on the second floor. From there you can see the city very well. It’s very interesting.
【小题1】The traffic in England __________ that in China.
