    You may not realize it, but you are doing much more than just studying when you are at school. School is also the place where you learn to get on well with people. But this is not always easy. What can you do if you just don't like one of your classmates?

    If you discover that you have problems   ①   (get) on with your classmates or friends, the most important thing   ②   (learn) is tolerance(宽容) . Tolerance is the ability to realize and respect the differences in others. We cannot change the way that other people do, so it is important to learn to live happily with them.

    Tolerance will make everyone get on better with each other. Getting to know someone may help you understand why he does things differently. Something different does not exactly mean that it is bad. Tolerance teaches us to keep a temperate and open mind.

    You need to remember an old saying, (A)“Treat others how you want to be treated. ” If you tolerate something, it does not mean that you have to like it.

    (B)现在，没有人要求你改变自己。 Tolerance just means that you should respect the differences in others and not try to make them change.

    It is important to practice tolerance, because it will make everyone's life easier. (C)学会接受能力、兴趣与自己不同的人。The world is very different, and practicing tolerance in your own school and city can help make a difference.

    It was Saturday again. Grace and Karen disliked, Saturdays. Unlike their classmates, they had to get up early at seven every Saturday to prepare for their lessons. Grace had to attend the drawing lesson and Karen had to attend her ballet lesson. "How I wish I could do something different today," said the twins with one voice. All at once, an idea came to Grace and Karen at the same time. "Do you want to be me for a day?" they asked each other. It seemed like a wonderful plan to them. After giving each other a description of their own friends, Grace put on Karen's ballet dress while Karen put Grace's brushes and paints into her bag. Then they left for their classes.

    When the drawing lesson started, Karen was lost. Unlike Grace, Karen was poor at drawing. When the drawing lesson finally ended, Karen didn't dare to hand in her work.

    Meanwhile, Grace was struggling in the ballet class as well. As she had no idea about the dance steps, she had to follow her classmates blindly. As a result, she kept knocking into them. Their ballet teacher became impatient with her, "Karen, you should remember the basic steps. You can't rely on copying what others are doing."

    When Karen and Grace got home, they were tired out. They decided that they would never try to be someone else they were not. It seemed that the grass was not always greener on the other side.

    Many people are looking for a pet that is a little more interesting than a cat or a dog. If you have a lot of space and are happy to find out how to look after it, a green iguana(蜥蜴) can make a great pet. We spoke to Dr. Troy Wilson, a specialist in lizards, about how to look after an iguana.

    The first question is, what should it live in?

    Dr. Wilson: The green iguana can grow to be about 2 meters long, so you are going to need a big space to keep it in. Start with a small glass tank for a baby iguana, then when it is bigger, you can move it into a larger cage.

    Do they need water?

    Dr. Wilson: Yes. Iguanas need water to drink and sit in. In the wild they always live near water and they are good swimmers. They need a water dish or small pond that is big enough for them to sit in.

    What do they eat?

    Dr. Wilson: They eat mostly raw vegetables and some fruit. You can feed your iguana fresh vegetables every day and some fruit once a week. Iguanas cannot chew their food so you should cut it into the right size. They swallow food in one piece.

    Are they fun?

    Dr. Wilson: An Iguana is a clever, friendly animal. It will learn who you are and can even be quite affectionate. (深情的)
