阅读理解                                     What to do if you don"t feel popular?
    ● Try to take part in activities. Call your friends. Plan to do something. The worst feeling is staying home alone, because it makes you feel even more lonely.
    ● Try to make new friends. Choose friends carefully, not just because you think they"re popular. And remember, making good friends takes time. Choosing a popular person to be friends with is okay, if they are nice.
    ● Be yourself (保持独立). If you want to become friends with someone who"s popular, don"t make yourself into someone you are not just to impress that person.
    ● Be nice. Be friendly. Be outgoing (开朗的). But don"t overdo it! Talk to trusted friends if you are feeling really bad. Or you might want to write it down ill a journal (期刊) or diary.
    ●  Do something special for yourself. You could take pictures of your friends, or collect their school pictures, and take a collage (拼贴画) to hang on your wall. This will remind (提醒) you, when you are feeling unpopular, that you really do have friends.
    ● Think up your own ideas. These suggestions might not work for everyone.
    What to do if you have a problem with your teacher?
    ● Talk to your parents, or another adult who will listen to you and perhaps can help. Talk to your friends. Maybe they have had problems with the same teacher, too.
● Don"t give the teacher a reason to have problems with you. Do your work, complete your task, attend the class seriously and take notes. Maybe you just need to give the teacher a chance (机会).
    ● Try to find out what the problem is.
    ● Talk to the teacher if you feel comfortable doing this. Don"t be nasty (闹别扭的), but express your concerns (关心). Listen to the teacher, as well.
    ● Just accept the fact that you"re not going to love all your teachers.

   A Week ago, "Sports for Life" programme was sent to the parents, requiring them to select a sport
they wanted their child to play. Since then, our staff have received lots of calls from parents asking for
more information about it. Here is a memo (备忘录) for your reference when you answer the phones:
   Sports 1: Basketball
   We expect that this will be the most popular of the four sports. Therefore, students should be advised
to sign up as soon as possible. Students will take a private bus to and from Kwun Tong Sports Park. To
cover the cost of hiring a bus, each student will have to pay $10 each time. There will be four basketball
courts available for our use with one teacher watching over each game.

   We will be using St. Peter"s Memorial Park. There are two reasons for choosing this park. First, it is
not very busy and crowded before 6:00 pm. Second, it has a lot of trees with plenty of shade. Students
must bring along two bottles of water to prevent thirst. Three activities, skipping, jogging, outdoor
aerobics (有氧运动), all of which are free of charge, will be arranged. And there will be a teacher on
duty for each of the activities.

Three teachers will accompany the students, and a hiking instructor will accompany each group of 15
hikers. Each instructor will cost $ 75/hr.
   Sports 4: Swimming
   The Kowloon City Aquatic Centre is a 10-minute walk from our school. Four teachers will go to the
pool and conduct the goings-on from the poolside. We will only be able to reserve the pool for one hour
(i.e. 2:45pm to 3:45pm). Only students skillful at swimming can take up this activity. The pool will have
two lifeguards present. Girls must wear a swimming suit. The cost is $10 per visit.

阅读理解     It doesn"t matter when or how much a person sleeps, but everyone needs some rest to stay alive.
That"s what all doctors thought, until they heard about Al Herpin. Al Herpin, it was said, never slept.
Could this be true ? The doctors decided to see this strange man themselves.
