[1] Many students find it hard to make friends when they are in high school. Keeping my suggestions in mind may give you a hand. They certainly helped me, and by the end of my three years of high school I had formed my group of friends, with whom I still keep in touch now.

[2] Here are my tips：

[3] Say hello anytime I see an acquaintance(相识的人)．

Because I was always smiling and greeting the people I knew, people naturally thought I was friendly(though I am not naturally sociable). And high school students want to be friends with sociable people.

[4] Take the first step.

All the girls there already knew each other—they didn't need another friend. But I did, so I had to make the effort. I had to be the first one to invite somebody to go to a movie with me，or come to my house. Once I did that they started to respond(回应)with the same thing.

[5] Use classes to get to know people.

I met most of my first friends because I sat next to them in class. Class (before, after, or even during class time)is a great opportunity to begin a conversation. For example, ask for help about homework.

[6] Make friends slowly.

I couldn't get discouraged when it took a while to make friends. It really takes some time to make new friends. In a word, ________.

[7] Above all, remember that it can and will get better. You may have to work a little to make your high school experience a great one，but it' s really worth(值得) it!

The Intel Science Talent Search is the top science competition for high school students in the US. The 40 finalists were honored in Washington last week. They met with scientists and politicians. Presidents Obama welcomed them to the White House.

There 40 students were selected from almost 2,000 contestants nationwide. They had to present original research to be judged by professional scientists. The students showed their research projects on large posters. The winners were announced on March 15th, 2011.

Wendy Hawkins is executive director of the Intel Foundation, Who says the 40 finalists represented excellence across many areas of science.

Selena Li is from Fair Oaks, California, She wanted to find a more effective treatment for liver cancer. She began her research four years ago. A scientist at the University of California, Davis, taught her how to design and do experimental work in the laboratory. Ms. Li placed 5th in the Intel Science Talent Search and was awarded 30,000 dollars.

Scott Boisvert lives near Phoenix, Arizona. He began using a laboratory at the university of Arizona at the age of 14. Over four years, he completed a project studying a fungus(真菌)linked to the decrease in amphibians(两栖类动物)around the world. He was trying to find out if different chemicals and substances in the water could kill of fungus. He collected and tested water samples across Arizona. He says,“My results were able to identify a list of chemicals that were significant in the growth and in the movement of the fungus.”He placed 10th in the Intel competition and was awarded 20,000 dollars.

Evan O’Dorney of Danville, California, won the top award of 100,000 dollars in this year’s Intel Science Talent Search. For his mathematical project, He compared two ways to estimate the square root of an integer, a number with no fractional parts.

Today's Britain is full of TV shows like Fame Academy, which claim to offer young hopefuls an instant passport to fame and riches. But a very different kind of academy may provide a new generation of Brits with a slower, steadier path to wealth.

A 'pig academy' in the east of England is aiming to train up new pig farmers to help promote local agriculture and meet the UK's growing demand for pork. Last year consumption of pork products increased by 6,000 tonnes. But British farmers have not benefited from this rise in demand. A combination of increasing feed prices, competition from cheaper imports and an outbreak of foot and mouth disease have all eaten into their profits. Pig numbers in the UK have actually almost halved in the last decade.

Now, Fresh Start Pig Academy in Lincolnshire is launching a course which intends to redress (修复) the balance. They say pig husbandry (养猪业) is a growth industry and newcomers are welcome. For those of you who fancy getting your hands dirty, the course will teach you everything you need to know, from keeping pigs healthy to raising the capital needed to start up.

Pig farmer Anne Longthorp followed her father into the industry and believes that farming pigs is very rewarding work: "They're great, curious animals to work with. Just watching their behaviour – it's really interesting work. There is a lot more to pig farming than people give us credit for. It's very scientific."

So, while most of Britain's young people may continue to dream of overnight stardom, others will hope a more traditional career will help them bring home the bacon.
