“You are my best friend.” It’s the nicest thing you can    36    to someone. It’s also the nicest thing you can    37   someone.
Good friendships begin in middle school. It’s the    38   you begin to develop your own personality. Your parents aren’t around so you    39   lots of time every day sharing your life with your classmates. You talk with them, you work with them and you become friends with them. But    40   them will become your “best” friend.
Best friends are the people who like you and    41    you the most. They are the    42   who are easy to work with and easy to have fun with.
Sometimes it’s    43   to find a best friend. And sometimes you can     44   a little lonely. But just because you don’t have best friend now, it doesn’t mean you    45    one in the future. Best friends seem to find each other as if by magic. And when you find your best friend, the magic will last forever.

These simple ways can increase(增加)your popularity and win you more friends，so why not try them?
●PAYING ATTENTION TO OTHERS This will reduce any shyness you may have. You'll be more relaxed and therefore more natural and fun. And you will get more good-people will love the fact that you're paying attention to them while you don't have to worry about what people think of you.
●LOOKING PEOPLE IN THE EYE Making eye contact is very important because it shows you're interested in them. If you let your eyes wander(游移)or keep looking over their shoulders，people will feel slighted(轻视)，and they'll like you less they would otherwise.
●ASKING QUESTIONS Doing this gives you two advantages，It shows other people that you are indeed paying attention to and that you consider what they are telling you important. Being sure to follow up when you've shared a conversation with someone about something important in his / her life，be sure to ask about it later. This shows that you listen and you care.
●MAKING AN EFFORT TO SMILE A smile means acceptance，and that makes people open up to you. Make a conscious(有意识的)effort(努力)one day to smile at the people you stay or work with and watch how well they respond(作出反应)to you；
●BEING RELIABLE(可靠的)People like those who help them，and they quickly begin to hate those who don't.

We moved to a new area when our son was in Grade Five. Before we moved, we took him to spend half a day at his new school. There he saw his new classmates and teachers. He enjoyed the visit. During the almost 150-kilometre drive home, he told us that he had told some of the students the dace when we would move there. And he had also invited them to visit us.
The moving day, a Saturday, was a busy day. We arrived at our new house at noon. About an hour later, kids began to come and soon one of them invited our son to his house to play for the afternoon.
By the time he returned, he knew where most of the kids lived and the histories of their families.
On Monday morning, the doorbell rang just before the time he would leave for school. Then it rang again and again.
By the time he was ready, we had eight young boys waiting to walk to school with him on his first day. They all live near us.
I asked them if their parents had sent them. The answers surprised and pleased me, "No, we just came so that he would have someone to walk with." and "It is the right thing to do."
The friendships were formed(形成) from that day. We have lived here for nearly six years and the same group of kids still play together, go to parties on weekends together, and surfing the Internet together.
I am still thinking how welcoming and kind those kids are. And how lucky my son is to have them as friends.

Subject: Eco-Friendly Transportation

Saturday 9th June 8:05 am " 

    Hi everyone! My name's Tony. I'm doing a project about greener ways to travel. I want to know if anyone has any good ideas. Thanks for your help!

I think people should do more things online from home. Why pollute the air by driving your car to the supermarket, when you can order your weekly shopping on the Internet~ You can also book holidays as well.                    

                                               Posted by Billy on June 1 lth 7:36 am

I try to use public transportation whenever I can. I take the bus to college and walk home. When my mum wants to give me a lift, I always refuse, as I can get there quickly by bus. Also the buses in my town are electric so they are environmentally friendly!

Why not use two wheels? Any motorcycle will use less fuel (燃料)an a car. You don't get caught in traffic jams either. But in my opinion, the best thing is a bicycle. They don't produce any pollution and help you to keep fit at the same time.

I can't get to my university by bus or train. So I found three other girls who live nearby to have a car share with. And now we take it in turns to drive every day. I have cut down the costs -- and most importantly,- I am helping the environment!

These days the subject of security(安全) on campus is talked about quite often.  Some students' mobile phones are stolen, some students fight with and hurt one another, and others are knocked down by the fast running bikes or cars.
These problems arc common on campus. I think there are three causes for these. Firstly, some students do not take good care of their properties. They are still young and not careful enough. Secondly, some students want to do everything well. They want to be the winners in exams, and they also want to be the winners in fightings.  And thirdly, the campus guards(保安)do not carry on their duties well. They don' t regulate the traffic in the busy hour.
In order to have a secure campus, all the students should be very careful about their properties. They should also mind their behaviors(举止) and act politely. The campus guards are supposed to be devoted(致力于) to the security on campus, and it is their duty to safeguard(维护) a secure campus to help provide a good environment for the students.
