“When can I get a cellphone?”The answer is when your parents think you need one,though many
kids seem to be getting them around age 12 or 13. Some younger kids may have them because their
parents see it as a matter of safety and convenience. For example,a kid can call mom and dad when
sports practice is over. And a cellphone can give kids almost instant access(快捷通道)to their parents if
something goes wrong or they need help.It can give parents quick access to their kids so they can check
on them and make sure they"re OK.
If you do get a cellphone,make some rules such as how many minutes you’re allowed to spend on the phone, when you can use your phone,when the phone must be turned off,and what you will do if
someone calls you too often,and so on.
You’ll also have to learn to take care of the phone in your life. Keep it charged (充电)and store it in the safe place so it doesn’t get lost. And whatever you do,don’t use it in the bathroom. I know someone
who dropped her phone in the toilet!

is so bad that they become ill, because they are afraid of failing, and they are afraid of letting their
parents and families down. If exams are really making you ill or worried, don"t hide your feelings.
Talk to someone about it. If he or she doesn"t help you, ask someone else.
Here are some top tips given by educational psychologists (教育心理学家):
(1) Ask a teacher about how to revise and about exam skills-how to work when you are in an
exam.
(2) Take a short rest during your time of work and revision. If your mind is tired, it will not
remember well.
(3) Revise at the time when you know you will work at your best.
(4) Get enough sleep, and eat healthy food.
(5) If you feel bad, talk to someone about your worries. But don"t be too relaxed! Some stress
over exams makes you work hard for them.
(6) If it upsets you to talk to your friends about an exam when it is finished, don"t do it! In fact,
don"t even think about the exam you have finished. What is done has been done. You cannot change
what you have written !
(7) If you are studying in the evening, don"t go straight to bed afterwards. Your mind will still be
"going round and round" ——thinking too much. Do something else, maybe walk or get exercise.
Choose something that will relax you, and make you think of other things.

In today"s world many people seem to be hungry for money. Some of them even lost their lives for it. Money does have its most useful effect (作用) on the poor, but if a person has a rich life, a lot more money doesn"t mean more happiness. If money were everything, all millionaires (百万富豪) would have true love, real friendship, health and long life. However, this is not always true. Nothing else is more pleasant than the three words "I love you". But can love be bought? I"m afraid not. Love means "give", not "take" .
