Now, we're getting happier and happier. But in fact, everyone worries. How do you deal with your worries? Whether your worries are big or small, you can take these three steps to do with them:

1）Try to find out what you're worried about.

    Sometimes, you will know what you're worried about. Other times, you might not.Try to find it out first; If you can't, you can ask for help.

2）Think of ways to make it better.

    There is always something you can do to help you feel less worried. Sitting there worrying is no fun and it won't solve your problem.

    If your worry is about a fight you had with a friend, you might write down all the things you could do: write a note to him or her, invite him or her to a basketball game, say sorry to him or her,etc.Once you have a list of things you could do, you can choose the one that gets your friend back.

3）Ask for help.

    When you're worried, it can help to find someone to talk to.You can ask your parents, friends or teachers for help.

    There was a man    ①    had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly. So he sent them to go and look at a pear tree far away in turns．

    The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in the fall    ②    they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe    ③    they had seen. The first son said     ④    the tree was ugly. The second son said no-it was covered with green leaves and full of hope. The third son disagreed, he said there were many flowers that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most wonderful thing he had ever seen. The last son disagreed with all of them, he said there was lots of fruit on the tree,full of life and harvest.

    The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, but they had each seen only one season in the tree's life. He told them, "You cannot judge a tree, or a person by only one season and its true nature--the pleasure, joy, and love that come from that life can only be measured (测量)at the end, when all the seasons are up.＂

    If you give up when it's winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, the harvest of your fall.Don't let the pain of one season kill the joy of all the rest.

    Students learn their lessons in class．{#blank#}1{#/blank#} Students sit in the classrooms listening．This is a way of learning．Is this the only way for students to learn something？Of course not．There is another way to learn．{#blank#}2{#/blank#} For example，if you cannot remember something when you are doing your homework，you can look at your book to find the answer．This is a way to teach yourself．{#blank#}3{#/blank#} We can do this at any place and at any time．

    How do you teach yourself？The first thing you must do is reading．Read something you are interested in．{#blank#}4{#/blank#} If there is something you don't understand or you want to know more about，you can write down questions．The third is to answer the question yourself by thinking hard，by reading the text or other books，and something by asking other people．This is the way of teaching yourself{#blank#}5{#/blank#} If you keep doing like this，you are sure to succeed in your study．

B．And you must do this all by yourself．

C．The second is that you must ask yourself questions．

D．And it is not a difficult thing．

E．That is students can teach themselves．

    As a student, I was most afraid to answer question in class, and I found that the students around me were just like me. At the beginning of each class, when the teacher ask a question. I always lowered my head because I was afraid the teacher saw me.

    One day, in a foreign language class, Mr. Black gave us a lesson. He wanted us to be active in class, so ask us some question, but no one answered," Let me tell you a story first," he said. "When I came to the United States to study, the university often invited famous people to make speeches. Before the beginning every speech, I found an interesting thing. The students around me always took a cardboard folded in half, wrote their names in bold(黑体) with the most eye－catching(引人注目的) color and then placed the cardboard on the seat. So when the speaker need the answer from the student, he could see it and call a listener's name directly. I couldn't understand that. My classmate told me the speakers were all top people, who meant chances. In fact, l really saw a few students got great chances because of that."

    After listening the story, l understand that the chance will not find you itself. You must show yourself all the time so that you can find a chance on the card.

    The villas(别墅)were very nice. Beautiful houses, wonderful lawns, and nice gardens. This was the kind of housing estate where John Wood preferred to work.

    It was just before eleven o'clock at night. After John drove around for the fifth time, he thought that he had found the right house-No. 4. There was no light and the garage(车库)door was open. John parked his car in the next street and then came into the garage.

    No one would think that a well-dressed gentleman with a white silk scarf and gloves, was really an excellent thief.

    After looking around the house for a while, John got down to work. He searched every room, and before long, his hands were full. He had two necklaces, some gold rings and a purse with a lot of money. He put all the things in his pocket.

    Then he found a small wall safe(保险箱)in the bedroom. John couldn't wait to take the valuable things from the safe and put them into his own pocket！But the thief met a problem; he couldn't open the safe.

    John wiped a few drops of sweat from his forehead, took off his gloves, and placed them on a chair. Again and again, and finally, he opened the safe. He saw something shining-a huge diamond.

    Suddenly, John heard someone opening the front door. It was the owner of the house. John put the diamond in his pocket, ran to the window, climbed out of the house and drove away in the dark.

    Ten minutes later, the police arrived. After searching the house. the police found an important piece of evidence(证据)that could easily tell who was the thief.

    Do you know what the piece of evidence was?

    Our dog Abbey died last month. My 4-year-old daughter Lucy missed her a lot and asked if we could write a (A) __________to God to make sure he could (B) look after Abbey well. I told Lucy that I thought we could, and she dictated (口述) these words:

Dear God,

    Will you please take care of my dog? She died yesterday and is with you in heaven. I miss her very much. I am happy that you let me have her as my dog even though she got (C) sick. I hope you will play with her. She likes to swim and play with balls. I am sending a picture of her so when you see her you will know that she is my dog. I really miss her.

Love,

Lucy

    We put the letter in an envelope with a picture of Abbey and Lucy and addressed it to God/Heaven. Yesterday, we received a package addressed "To Lucy" with this note:

Dear Lucy,

    Abbey has arrived in heaven.

    (D) 她不再生病。Her spirit is here with me just like it stays in your heart. Abbey loved being your dog. You don't need to worry about (E) her. She's being looked after very well here.
