Simon and I are both thirteen years old.  We are classmates and good friends. I always listen to the teacher carefully in class and do things as the adults say. I am a good boy and never naughty(淘气的). I always get good grades. I am the apples of the teachers'eyes. Simon is.different. He is clever but the teachers don't like him because he is so naughty.  In class he often makes faces to make others laugh. Sometimes he asks strange questions which are difficult to answer. That makes the teachers in embarrassment(窘迫 ) .
　　One day, Simon asks Mr Black, our history teacher, "May I ask you a question?"
　　"Yes, please. "
　　"When you are teaching a group of students, the.re comes another group. Then how many groups of students do you have?"
　　"Two, of course. That's the easiest question in the world. " Simon laughs and says, "You are wrong, sir. Two groups of students joining together is still one group. That's the easiest question in the world. "
　　All the students burst out laughing.
　　You see, we are so different, but we are good friends.

　　My name is Tony.I have a twin brother. Well, my twin brother is called
Daniel, and he is four minutes younger than me. We were both born on the 5th of
January, and I think that we look alike very much. Daniel is a little taller than me
and he has very dark hair, but we have the same eyes and nose and smile.We
weren't always in the same classes at school because my parents wanted us to be
a bit more different.We used to be dressed the same way, but different in color,
me in red and him in blue, and we used to have a birthday cake that was always
half was red and half was blue, but I guess we are quite different.He’s really,
really active, and just very different from me. At school I was always in the top
classes getting A's and he was always failing the exams. He did a lot of sports
but I didn’t, so people say we are very different.

    The aim (目的) of students who came to school is to study. But to study requires (需要) a right way,
or you waste either the time or the money. The following are the ways of studying. 　　
    The best time for reading is morning, because in the morning, the air is fresh and the mind is clear. For
that reason, we can get good result. 　　
    In studying we must have patience (耐心). If we have not known a text well, we must read it again.
We should not read the next one till we have learned the first one. 　　
    When we are studying, we must put our hearts into the book, or we can get nothing from the book
while we are reading. 　
 　We must always ask "whys". If it is not well understood, write it down and ask our teachers or our
parents, or friends. In any possible way, we must know it completely and what we've learned can be used
well and made better.
