(首字母填空)Don't c______ homework from others．You should do it by yourself．

A lot of people wish to be writers some day. They mean that they hope to write stories or books, even novels which many persons will read. But they should know it's impossible that everyone can be a writer. They should understand that they will need to be good readers and to read much in order to be good writers.

Nearly all the great writers read a lot before they started to go to school. And they have kept reading for hours every day since they became good readers. Instead of watching TV in the evening, they spend much of their spare(空闲) time in reading books.

If you are a good reader, you don't need to spend so long doing the reading homework after school. Then you can read other books for fun. As you read so well, you keep looking for more books.

While making up your mind to become a good writer, you had better say to yourself, "I must read more and more if I really want to become a good writer. "

Happiness is a feeling that lights up your eyes, makes your steps light and makes you want to sing for no reason. Everyone wants to be happy. But sometimes, a guest comes in without invitation. It’s unhappiness. Don’t let it get you down. Send it away!
When you are happy, the world feels like a better place. A good mood (心情) always gives you hope, which makes trouble and problems easier to handle.
No matter how happy you are, it’s natural to feel angry, sad or upset once in a while. Life is full of ups and downs. So it’s good to know some of the factors that influence happiness.
One of the biggest factors is social relationships. Talking and sharing is a good way to relax and build confidence. Knowing someone is there for you will make you braver and more outgoing.
Another factor is work or school. If you enjoy school, even if you have lots of homework or extra classes, you will still feel that your school life is meaningful and happy. But if you hate school, your negative attitude may cause you to feel bored and upset that you have to do so much work.
A third factor is your attitude towards life. How do you feel if you fail in an exam? Maybe you think it’s unfair because you always study hard and should have got a good mark. You can’t stop blaming (责备) yourself. Or, maybe you accept it. You go through the paper carefully, find out why you made stupid mistakes, and tell yourself, “Take it easy! I’ll do better next time!” Your attitude makes a big difference.
Do you smile a lot or wear a long face most of the time?
