A good relationship with teachers today may help you in the future. You will need teachers’ written recommendations (推荐信) to apply to a college or for a job after high school. Teachers are another group of adults in your life who can look out for you, guide you, and provide you with advice. They are willing to answer questions and help you with your personal problems.
We all have our favorite teachers—those who seem truly interested in us and treat us as smart people. You can do lots of things to develop a good relationship with you teachers. Show up for class on time, finishing all homework. Be respectful and ask questions. Show an interest in the subject. Show the teacher that you care.
If you’re having problems with the teacher, try to figure out why. If you don’t like the subject being taught, it can affect your relationship with the teacher. If you find a subject hard, talk to your teacher or a parent about extra tutoring. If you find it boring, talk to your teacher about some other ways of learning.
What if you just don’t like the teacher？When it comes to working with teachers, personality (个性) can come into play just as it can in any relationship. Learning to work with people you don’t connect with easily is a good skill no matter what your goals are.
Before you try to get out of a class to escape a teacher you don’t like, here are a few things you can do to make a difficult relationship work.
●Meet with the teacher and try to communicate what you’re feeling. Tell him or her what’s in your mind.
●Turn to the school counselor (指导老师), who can offer some suggestions for getting out of a
difficult relationship. Sometimes a counselor can act as a mediator between you and the teacher.
●If your relationship problems can’t be solved in school, then it’s time to tell your parents. Let them meet with your teacher and try to work them out.
Teachers are there for more than just homework and they know about more than just their subject matter. They can help you learn how to function as an adult and a lifelong learner. Undoubtedly, there will be a few teachers along the way who you’ll always remember and who might change your life forever.

Sleep is a basic necessity of life and it is as important to our health as air, food and water. When we sleep well, we wake up feeling energetic, alert and ready to face daily challenges. When we don’t every part of our lives can suffer.
A survey made by the 2002 National Sleep Foundation (NSF) in America found that 74 percent of American adults are experiencing a sleep problem a few nights a week or more and 39 percent get less than 7 hours of sleep each night and want to have a sleep during the day.
Getting enough continuous quality sleep influences how we feel and perform next day. Getting enough sleep refers to the amount of sleep you need not to feel tired next day. Although sleep experts generally recommend an average of 7-9 hours each night, some people can get along with less while others need as many as ten hours to feel energetic next day. Sleep requirements vary(变化)over the life cycle. Newborns and babies need a lot of sleep and have several periods of sleep throughout a 24-hour time period. Teenagers’ sleep patterns turn to a later sleep-wake cycle, but they still need around 9 hours of sleep. Throughout adulthood, even as we get older, we need 7-9 hours of sleep. Sleep patterns may change, but the need for sleep remains the same.
According to the 2002 poll. Over 80 percent of American adults believe that not getting enough sleep leads to poor performance at work, risk of injury, poor health and difficulty getting along with others. Often, people become easily annoyed due to lack of sleep. Recent research suggests that lack of sleep also leads to approximately 100,00 sleep-related traffic accidents each year and results in 1,500 deaths.
If you are having sleep problems, turn to a sleep diary published by the National Sleep Foundation. A sleep diary helps you examine some of your health and sleep habits so that you and your doctor can find some reasons for poor sleep. Establishing a regular bed and wake-up schedule may also help you sleep well. Besides, talking to your doctor or a sleep specialist is of great help. Most sleep disorders can be successfully treated once properly diagnosed(诊断).

Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is
good, most would admit that their spoken English is poor. Whenever I speak to a Chinese student, they
always say “My spoken English is poor.” 小题1: I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.
First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary.  小题2: 
However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if you choose a positive attitude. Others will follow
You as long as you use the words that you know. _小题3: . Sometimes they make mistakes
when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. Yet students should remember
that their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY. Your aim in writing is to be accurate
following the rules for grammar and using the right words and spelling them correctly.
However, in speaking your aim is fluency. You want to get your message across, to talk
to someone in English, as quickly and as well as you can, even though sometimes you may
use a wrong word or tense , but it doesn’t matter. 小题4: .  
The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening . You have one mouth but two
ears！All that hearing is necessary for you to start speaking .
Actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor. 小题5: .

A．The person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears.

B．They may try to avoid making similar mistakes next time.

C．Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary .

D．If you have this proactive outlook, then you will see English opportunities wherever you go.

E. However, their spoken English does not have to remain “poor”！
F. Second , they are afraid of making mistakes.
G. The second reason lies in the reluctance of using what has just been learned.

Dear Brown,
Last summer I take a part-time job in the International Camp for children. I have been told one more worker will be needed in this year and I think you are fit to it. How about join us? The camp is at the foot of a small hill close to a river. It is so a beautiful place! We can hear birds singing happy all around. Everybody sleeps in tents, that is very exciting. We usually work only five hours a day, so we will have plenty of spare time visit the area and have a fun. I am sure it will be an unforgettable experience. If you are interesting in it, reply to me soon．
Yours,
Li Hua

Write on more than three words for each answer.
The father of Western philosophy
The word ‘philosophy’ means ‘love of wisdom’. Philosophy can be thought of as a way of looking at the world around us, or of answering the great questions of life, such as ‘Why are we here ?’ and ‘What is truth?’
The father of Western philosophy was Socrates. Socrates was from Athens, in Greece. When he was young, he was a brave soldier. Later, he became a teacher, but he taught for free, and earned his salary from being a common worker. Aside from this, we know very little about him. Since he never wrote a book, we also know very little about his philosophy. Yet, Socrates has had a deep influence on Western thought and science.
To understand how this can true, we must understand how Socrates taught. Socrates taught by asking questions. Through this, he challenged his students to develop and explain their own arguments. In many cases, his questions made his students aware of their own errors. Many students got embarrassed and even angry when this happened, while others changed their opinions. Socrates’ way of approaching the truth is now called the Socratic Methods. The idea of asking questions until you reach the right answer is the basis of modern philosophy and science.
Unfortunately for him, Socrates questioned too much. He always asked challenging questions to everyone he met, upsetting many people in Athens. Finally, some people had had enough of him, so they took him to court for questioning the existence of the Greek’s Gods and for corrupting the young people of Athens. At his trial, he defended himself by asking his judges yet more questions. This just made a bad situation worse. Finally he was put to death by being forced to drink poison.                 Through his death, Socrates became the hero of all people who search for the truth.

Everyone can experience anger sometimes, but not everyone can control it properly. To some people, controlling anger seems like the hardest thing in the world to do.
When it comes to anger control, there are lots of tools and things that you can do. The first technique you can use is to recognize stress when it occurs. This is extremely important as you need to understand what causes this pressure and attempt to reduce this stress before it transforms quickly into anger.
Developing empathy (移情) is another anger control skill you can learn. You can teach yourself how to reduce or eliminate (消除)anger completely by seeing things from other people’s perspective.
You need to learn how to respond to situations rather than react. Think about your response and calmly approach this rather than reacting suddenly when stress and pressure are triggered.
When you experience unwanted feelings, control these by talking to yourself in your own mind and enable yourself to deal with those feelings effectively before acting on them. By talking it over in your own head you can work out how you will best deal with the situation instead of acting on impulse (冲动), which can be destructive.
Anger control can also be achieved with the skill of being able to communicate with others with honesty. You can effectively train yourself to respond to situations without getting annoyed about things.
These feelings can quite regularly be set off by a difference in what we expect and what actually get in life. Often if things do not go our way or we feel we have been harshly treated, we will find it hard to control our anger. If you adjust your expectations, then you should be able to handle difficult situations and cope with them much better.
Finally it is vitally important to step back and think about things that are happening rather than acting too quickly. It can sometimes be very hard not to wade in (介入)and start acting before thinking about things first.
Therefore, it is important to remember that everyone has the capacity to lose their temper and controlling it is the real challenge.
