friends．but how do you make them? Maybe it seems like everybody else already has their

friends．But remember, there’s always room for more friends．  

    Start by looking around your classroom—think about which kids you’d like to play

with at break．Look for chances to say hi to them，smile，and be friendly．Offer to share

something or express your appreciation(欣赏)to them．Invite someone to play with you or

 say “Do you want to sit here?” in the lunchroom．When you’re at break，walk over to kids

you want to play with．act friendly，and say “Hi，can l play, too?” or just join in．

    If you have trouble doing this or if you’re feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make

 new friends．Teachers are usually pretty good at matching up friends．The best way to make

friends is to be a friend．Be kind，be friendly，share，say nice things，offer to help—and pretty soon，you’ll have one，or two，or even more new friends.

    You might still miss that special best friend．But when you see each other, you can share

Do you know how to keep fish at home?
The fish need room. They must not be crowded（拥挤）. Fish need oxygen(氧气). Fish get it from water in the tank. There must be enough water for all fish in the tank. So the size of the tank is important..
In the tank many people put small plants(植物). They give oxygen to the water. Plants help in other ways, too. Fish can nibble(轻咬)on the plants. They hide in the plants and sleep, lay eggs there.
Both the plants and fish need light. You can put near a window. It will get light there. But remember: a window may let cold air in. The cold can kill(杀死) your fish. Too hot water can kill your fish, too.
The fish need food and you should feed them every day. Giving them too much food is bad. It will make the water dirty. However, the fish should get just enough food. They should finish the food in 10 minutes. No extra(多余) is left. When this happens, the amount(数量)of food is right.
