    　　Most of us enjoy a can of Coca Cola from time to time. After all, who doesn't like soda (汽水) ? It's refreshing and delicious! There's a lot of information going around about whether or not soda can be part of a healthy diet.

{#blank#}1{#/blank#} In fact, there are 10 teaspoons of sugar in a can of soda! The sugar makes soft drinks delicious, but of course not healthy.

    We often see top students around us and everyone knows about them. Let us take Jenny as an example. She is the monitor of our class. She spends a lot of time working for our class. But she always gets good grades in all subjects. How do students like Jenny do that? When I asked her, she said, "Hard work is not the whole story. It's not how long you sit at the desk with your books open. It's what you do as you are sitting." In fact, we can see many top students spend fewer hours on their studies than their classmates. Jenny gave me some valuable suggestions.

    If your math teacher gives you five problems, you should do six. If your Chinese teacher gives eight pages of reading, you should read nine. The more you practice, the more you learn.

    Studying is a matter of your personal interest, so choose the way you are most comfortable with. Some people like working at night when the house is quiet, while others like doing their work early in the morning. However, others like studying as soon asthey arrive home from school while the work is fresh in their minds. No matter which way suits you, try to do your best.

    Studying is your business and the business comes before entertainment(娱乐). When you are studying, phone calls should go unanswered, TV shows unwatched, snacks given up. Studying is the only thing in your mind. Nothing can pull your attention away from what you are studying.

    Studying is like eating. You should eat a little at a time. You can plan what to do today, but don't do too much. When you can't finish the work you planned to do, you will feel stressed and may lose confidence. On the other hand, you will not study well without a good plan. It all de pends on how you manage your time.

    The students who hand in a clearly written paper are already half way to get an A.. Tidy papers are likely to get higher marks than messy ones. When you write clearly and do your work carefully, the thoughts in your mind are clear. You can avoid making more mistakes.

    There is half a glass of water on the table. Is the glass half empty or half full? This question can represent a situation where there is both opportunity(机会) and trouble, but people with different point of views see the same situation in different ways. Ask yourself this question and see what kind of person you are.

    If your answer is "half empty", it shows that you tend to look on the dark side of things. You are a negative-thinking person. You are worried about what you don't have or what you have lost more than what you already or still have. In other words, you are a pessimist(悲观主义者).

    If you see the glass as half full, you tend to look on the bright side of things. You are a positive-thinking person. You know you should take the opportunity that comes your way rather than worry about getting into trouble. This is to say, you are an optimist.

    We don't live in a perfect world, but if we can change the way we see things, the things we see will change.

    When Mike was little, his father died. Life became difficult for Mike and his mother. Sometimes they couldn't have enough food to eat. Though it was difficult, his mother worked hard to raise Mike up with the best possible care and education.

    When Mike grew up, he got a chance to move to America for his further study. He studied hard and became an engineer, living a good life. He often sent home letters with much money for his mother. However, with many reasons, he didn't go back to visit his mother year after year.

    When his mother died, Mike returned and held a big funeral (葬礼). His mother left behind a box that she always carried around. Mike opened it and started to cry loudly.

    The box was filled with $100 dollar bills and a piece of paper. It read, "Son. I don't need to spend much money. I miss you a lot. Every time I hear a car passing by, I run out of the door but it isn't you. I save the money for you so that you can use it whenever you need it."

 Do you know about the Color Run? Some people say it's the happiest running experience in the world. The sport is a 5- km run where everyone throws colored dust(粉末) at each other. The sport is very popular in the US and it's getting more popular in China, too.

 The sport is similar to an Indian holiday called Holi. The holiday came from stories about good beating evil(邪恶), but today it's about having fun. Everyone throws colored dust at each other and shouts" Happy Holi".

 The Color Run doesn't have a time limit(限制), and there are no winners or prizes. The only rule is that runners have to start the race wearing all white. They want everyone to forget about competition and just enjoy the experience.

 During the race, after every kilometer, there are people holding colored dust who will splash (泼洒) you with it. By the end of the race, the runners will be covered with all the colors.
