Trees are useful to man in three very important ways. The first important way is that they provide man with food, wood and other products. Trees provide not only man with food, but also many animals with food. Without trees many animals could not live on the earth. It's not easy for man to live on the earth, either.
The second important way is that trees give us shade. On a hot summer day, people are eager(渴望)to have a rest under the shade of a tree after they have walked a long way. You can imagine how important the shade of a tree is to man and to animals.
The third important way is that trees help to prevent drought and foods. However, in many parts of the world, man has not realized the third important way. He has cut trees down in large numbers. In the end he finds that he has lost the best friends he had.

    Today is Emily's 15th birthday. The following are some presents she receives.

    Sometimes, it seems that with all the homework and stress, being a student can be the worst thing. For people who are being bullied (欺凌), however, having too much work to do is the least of their worries.

    Bullying comes in many different forms. It could be someone hitting you, someone sending you terrible messages on social media, or someone saying bad words to you. No matter how it happens, being bullied is never a nice experience.

Being bullied can do great harm to a child's personal development. It is hard for bullying victims to trust others. They often feel angry, no valuable, helpless and lost. And these feelings will further undermine(破坏) their ability to control their own life.

    So if you or someone you know is being bullied, how should you deal with it?

    Well, you need to find out why the bully is acting this way. The reasons behind school bullying are various. Children are now more easily influenced by violence in both real life and online. They want to gain power by bullying other students. Usually, they pick on the nicest or most well behaved person. Because this kind of persons seldom fight back. Some left-behind children become bullies because they lack (缺失) family education.

    Whatever the reason is, there are many different ways to deal with a bully. The clearest way is to share your problem with someone else. All bullying is wrong. It is important that you talk about the problem with someone you can trust. Usually the best way to end your problem is to talk to your teacher or parents. Or, in some cases, standing up to the bullies may change their behavior. If they know that their bullying doesn't work on you any more, they may stop. What's more, parents and schools should devote more time and efforts to the troubled children.

    Most importantly, remember this: If you're being bullied, it's not your fault. There's always someone to help you—you just need to ask first.

    Anger is a kind of feeling. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. When your teacher gives you too much homework, when your team loses an important game, when a friend borrows your favorite thing and then breaks it, you may get angry.

    {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. For example, you breathe faster, your face turns red, and you may want to break something or hit someone, but sometimes you hide your anger.{#blank#}3{#/blank#}. The problem is that if you do this, you may get a headache or your stomach may hurt.

    In fact, it's not good to hide your anger, and it's normal for you to get angry sometimes. As soon as you find your problems, you may cry to relax. When you get angry, you can talk about it with adults, such as parents, teachers, etc. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. Here are some other things you can do when you start to feel angry: count from 1 to 100; give someone a hug, go for a bike ride, think about good things, etc.

    Remember that when you are angry, how you act can make everything better or worse. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}.
