“If he doesn’t call me, I’m going to die!”

That’s a pretty normal feeling. It means you are “in love” ---kind of. It’s puppy love (早恋、初恋)，not real love--- not true love, yet.

Puppy love is common among students all over the world. In the West, people think puppy love is a healthy part of a teenager’s life. 1.In China, parents and teachers think it is a problem.

Puppy love is beautiful. It’s cool to love someone, or be loved by someone else instead of your mother or your dog. It can make you a better person. 2.You will know how to use your love to help other people.

If you find yourself “in love”, it’s OK, but …wait! 3.现在你有许多重要的事情要做。Think of these questions: Will you still love him or her ten years later? Do you have enough education to find a good job and live a happy life with the person you love in the future? What would you do if you found someone better than him or her? I bet (打赌) you are not sure of these answers. Why? 4. 因为你太小还不懂真爱。

5.True love will come when you grow up. Now, you should try to be the best person you can be, and do the very best you can. That means doing well at school and being a good son or daughter first.

 

Jane Scott is fourteen and the year before last she began to study in a middle school. She likes dancing and singing and spends a lot of time on them. But she hates math and does not work hard at it. She thinks it difficult to learn. She falls behind her classmates and once failed the math exam. She decides to drop it. Her father is angry with her when he knows about it.
It was Sunday. Mr Scott gave a call to his sister, who teaches math in another school. He hoped she would come and tell his daughter how to learn math. The woman came quickly and said. “You’re a clever girl, Jane. I’m sure you’ll soon do well in math if you work hard at it.”
“I’m afraid I can’t, Aunt,” said Jane, “Girls can’t be good at math.”
“I don’t think so,” said the woman. “I was good at it when was a girl. You must do more exercises and practice a math problem again and again until you master it. Remember: Practice makes perfect. Well, it’s a math problem. Think about it and practice it again, and you’ll work it out.”
“OK,” said the girl, “Let me try.”
About an hour later, Jane took the exercise book to her aunt and said, “I’ve done the problem ten times.”
“Well done!” her aunt said happily, “What result did you get?”
“Ten answers.”
