When I first arrived in America,I was surprised by the honesty of my classmates.Over my first month at school,I didn't see or hear anyone cheating.I found two reasons for this.

    First,if any student cheats,he or she will get punished.My school has a rule called the Honor Code.It asks students not to steal,lie or cheat.If someone goes against the code,he or she will have to leave the school.During my first year in the school,seven students left the school because of cheating.

Second,American students don't care about scores as much as Chinese students do.They know that colleges will look at their all-round abilities instead of only scores.So they have fewer reasons to cheat.

    What is your choice when you (A)feel like eating something between classes:fruit or candy?

    (B)Eating snacks is not all bad. It depends on what you eat and why and when you eat.

    Firstly, (C)记住什么零食是健康的很重要。 Forget junk food and fast food because they are bad for your health.

    Secondly, remember that it's always better to eat for hunger. (D)Never pig out (大吃) just because you feel bored or everyone else is eating. If you do so, you might put on weight.

    (E)Finally, do you know when you should eat snacks? It's not wise to eat snacks while you are watching TV or doing homework. And some doctors suggest(建议) eating snacks two hours before meals, or you will lose your appetite (食欲) at dinner time. Bedtime is not a good time for snacking, either.

    If you pay attention to what you eat and eat smartly, you will live a better life.

    Friends are very important in people's live.{#blank#}1{#/blank#} I think it's very easy to make friends with other people and build a friendship between each other. However,{#blank#}2{#/blank#} So what is true friendship? In my opinion, true friendship includes:

    First of all, true friendship must treat their friends loyally and help each other. In other words, you must not take advantage of your friends,{#blank#}3{#/blank#} For example, some unfriendly people make friends in order to cheat money and feelings, or get a certain secret and so I don't think these are true friendships.

    Second, {#blank#}4{#/blank#}For example, if a friend is really in need of money to escape from some troubles, true friends might lend it and help him or her.

    Third,{#blank#}5{#/blank#}One of the greatest men once said:" If you tell your happiness to your friend, you will get double happiness. If you tell your sadness to your friend, you will get half.

{#blank#}1{#/blank#}Keep your food safe. At night put it in bags. Hang the bags from the trees. Eat food before it goes bad(变质). Keep food and water in closed boxes or bottles.

{#blank#}2{#/blank#}Find a place for your camp an hour before it gets dark. Look for a dry place. Don't make your camp under trees or very near a river. Look for firewood before it gets dark.

{#blank#}3{#/blank#}In very hot countries, don't walk in the middle of the day. Walk in the early morning before the sun conies up.

{#blank#}4{#/blank#}There are dangerous animals in some countries. Before you put on your shoes in the morning, hit them on the ground. There may be animals inside them. Do the same with your sleeping bag before you go to sleep.

{#blank#}5{#/blank#}If you are walking, you need to drink lots of water. In very hot countries you may need 5~8 litres(升)of water a day. If you are thirsty, stop and drink.
