Very soon you are going to change from a junior high school student to a senior high school student．You will experience a new school life．Then how should you work in senior high school? Here is some advice for your new term．

Plan ahead．Get a wall calendar（日程表）．Mark the dates of important events such as tests．Set your own goals and follow them．When your calendar starts to fill，learn to say “no” to other activities until you ha4e reached your goal．

Stay ahead．Try not to fall behind．If you feel that you have fallen behind and started to feel worried，let your teachers know．It's better to get help early than to wait，thinking you can face the final exams．Almost everyone is struggling with a special subject or class．If you have trouble with a special subject or homework project，ask your teacher for help after class．Taking a few minutes to solve the problem right away can save time，and if your teacher knows that you're struggling with something，he or she is likely to be more understanding of the situation．

Listen up．Paying attention in class can actually help a lot．Sure，it's often easier said than done，but listening actively can make you understand better what you are learning．

Take notes．Taking notes during classes can make recalling（回忆）information easier．If you take notes and review them before class or while studying for an exam，you can ask a teacher to go over anything you don't understand，It can also be helpful to go over notes with a friend after class．

Have a good attitude（态度）to tests．Tests may show what you have learned about a subject．They help you remember your new knowledge．So don't be too worried if you don't pass a test．The world won't end．

Homework should be done as soon as you get home from school. If you have after-school activities, the homework should be done first. At the same time, it is fine to allow for a snack break and also to allow for stretching(拉伸的)breaks.

    Also, you should remember that it is your duty to do your homework. Next time, when you want to depend on Mom and Dad for help, please try to find the answer yourself, because you will learn much, much more that way.

When you have a question, especially something about a science or math, don't always turn to your teacher! It is a good idea to try to find the answer yourself. If this doesn't work, you can also look at the materials in the back of the book. They may guide you to the pages you should look at to help you understand the problem.

    Finally, while doing homework, don't think about or do other things. Keep working. Setting a time limit(限制) often helps with this. Different ages decide different amounts of time. 10-15 minutes is good for a child that's aged 6-8. A time of 20-30 minutes is about right for a child aged 9-12. Kids can keep studying for 30-45 minutes from the ages of 13 to 15. This, of course, depends on your abilities to pay attention and stay on tasks.

One day, a young man was taking a walk with a professor. As they went along, they saw a pair of old shoes lying in the path. They thought it belonged to a poor man who worked in a field nearby. The student said to the professor, “Let us play the man a joke: we will take away his shoes, and conceal ourselves behind those trees and wait to see what will happen when he cannot find them. That must be very interesting.”

　 “My young friend,” answered the professor, “we should never make ourselves happy at the cost of the poor. But you can put a coin into each shoe, and then we will hide ourselves and watch how the discovery（发现）changes him.”

　　The student did so.

The poor man soon finished his work, and came across the field to the path. While putting on his coat he slipped his foot into one of his shoes, he felt something hard. He found the coin. Surprise was seen on his face. He found the coin and looked at it again and again. He then looked around, but there was no person. He now put the money into his pocket. When he put on the other shoe, he was surprised again to find the other coin. He fell upon his knees, looked up to heaven and said aloud some thanksgiving words about his family.
