There was a man named Ben. He made caps to {#blank#}1{#/blank#} money. One day he went to {#blank#}2{#/blank#} his caps. It was very hot. When he went {#blank#}3{#/blank#} a forest, he wanted to have a {#blank#}4{#/blank#} . He came up to a large tree, put his caps on the {#blank#}5{#/blank#} , took one of them and put it on his head. Then he lay down and soon fell asleep.
    “Where are my caps?” Ben {#blank#}6{#/blank#} when he woke up. He looked up and saw many monkeys in the trees. Each monkey had a cap on its {#blank#}7{#/blank#} .
    “Give back my caps!” Ben {#blank#}8{#/blank#} at the monkeys. But the monkeys couldn't understand him. Ben got very angry. He took off his own cap, threw it on the ground and cried, “If you want all my caps, you may take this one, too!”
    What {#blank#}9{#/blank#} then? The monkeys did the same. Each monkey took off its cap and {#blank#}10{#/blank#} it on the ground. Ben was very glad. He quickly collected all his caps and went on his way.

Dear Emma,

    Your problem is like a circle. The harder you study, the less time you have to make friends and the less friendly you look to your classmates. The fewer friends you have, the harder you study to make {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(you) feel better.

    Try to break this bad circle. Perhaps you are afraid of meeting new people, because you are too shy or too serious {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(begin) a conversation. You are not. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(someone) has a fun side to his character. Push your shy side away and {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(给……看)your classmates how much fun you can be.

    Look at your classmates. Try to find out {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(是否) or not there are any people with whom you feel you have a lot in common .

    First, smile at your classmates. Do this as often as you can, until your classmates become used to your smiles and smile in return.

    Next, talk to your classmates. Do this {#blank#}6{#/blank#}classes or during your lunch break. You may find {#blank#}7{#/blank#} easier to start by talking to people when they are {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(lonely).

    Perhaps you could ask a classmate about your studies. They are likely to respond (回应) in a very positive way. People like to feel important and helpful. {#blank#}9{#/blank#} must be someone else in your class who is also quiet. It might be easier to try to talk with him or her.

    Your problem is mainly about confidence. Smile first, talk next and {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(slow) you will make friends. Once you have more confidence, you can make as many friends as you want.

    Have you ever wondered what an American high school and its students are really like?

    A typical (典型的) American high school has several large buildings and enough s{#blank#}1{#/blank#} for about 1,500 students. Every student is given a locker. When students first arrive at school, they go straight to their lockers to put away or get their textbooks and to hang up their outdoor clothes. As American textbooks are e{#blank#}2{#/blank#}, students would rather borrow than buy them. Students must pay back if they lose any of them.

    American students have different types of school t{#blank#}3{#/blank#}. They usually take a yellow school bus or walk to school if they live close enough. Sometimes their parents drive them to school. When they turn 16 years of age, most take a free driving class at school for one term. If students earn passing grades in the class and also pass their state driver's exam, they can begin driving t{#blank#}4{#/blank#} to school.

    Each day, students take six or seven classes. They must take science, maths, English and social studies. They can choose art, homemaking, fashion design and other classes. In some schools students are required to take one or more of the following special classes: health education, physical education or foreign language studies. Students m{#blank#}5{#/blank#} to different classrooms for each subject. This is because each teacher has their own classroom. There is a short break between classes, to give the students the time to hurry to their next class.

    The r{#blank#}6{#/blank#} school day usually ends early in the afternoon. After school more than half of the students are busy going for after-school activities. These activities include sports―especially football, basketball, baseball and soccer or c{#blank#}7{#/blank#}, such as yearbook, speech, school newspaper, photograph or student government. Students feel relaxed and pleased when they take part in them.

Jim: OK. That might be fun!
