5 Things I Wish Someone Had Told Me About High School
As a teenager,you get a lot of things shouted at you from all different directions and it's often overwhelming.
⒈High school is never like it is in the movies.
As a freshman,everything is so new and you're dealing with the constant feeling of apathy all while caring way too much.It's a delicate balance that I think only teenagers alone ever understand fully.Expect change,but don't try so hard to fantasize it.
⒉Make friends with your teachers.
Not all of the teachers will be fair,or even tolerable,and while that may inspire you to want to take your first dignified stand against today's education system,it won't prevent you from failing.Pay attention in class because no,you're not "too cool for school."
⒊
You're going to meet people who are dealing with all kinds of problems.Maybe you'll be the one experiencing these things,and in that case,what would you want your friend to do for you?Sometimes you won't feel like being there,maybe you'll be too tired to listen,but it'll be worth it in the end if you really just make yourself reliable.
⒋Do not sink in self-pity
Of course,feeling sorry for yourself is okay,it's even healthy!But when you're the person who's always complaining about yourself and your life and questioning all the bad things that happen to you,no one is going to want to talk to you.
⒌You are beautiful,intelligent,and worth it.
You're surrounded by hundreds of other people who are even better at the things you thought you were best at.Stop comparing yourself.You're not stupid because you failed a history test.You are yourself and that's all you ever will be.
A.Respect your teachers.
B.Lower your expectations.
C.Have a pity on your friends.
D.Nobody is going to feel sorry for you.
E.Most teenagers experience low self-esteem.

A. One of them is cleaning the inside of cabs. B. Being a taxi driver can be emotionally rewarding. C. A cab driver must have excellent communication skills. D. There are some taxis specially made for disabled people. E. However, some drivers may be asked to make small repairs. F. These prices must be calculated before the driver sets off on the trip. G. Taxi drivers should have a basic knowledge of a country's spoken language. |
While it may seem that a cab driver has only one responsibility—to drive customers to and from certain destinations, this is not the case. Instead, a cab driver must be ready to take on a number of different tasks. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Taxis have been around in various forms for many centuries, and the many duties of a cab driver increase as time goes on. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Not only do cab drivers have to pick up all kinds of people, but many of them have to interact with their customers. Frequently, cab drivers are hired by tourists or business people for an entire day, and this can mean making unavoidable contact with different people with different personalities.
Taxi drivers must also be able to operate different types of vehicles. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} The vehicles have ramps (斜面) that can be raised and lowered. This type of vehicle requires a special license that most cab drivers must get before obtaining a position as a taxi driver.
Generally, cab drivers are not required to repair vehicles. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} For example, almost all taxi drivers know how to change tires (轮胎), lights, and other small vehicle parts. Many drivers are also responsible for checking the taxi on a regular basis.
Perhaps the most important task that a cab driver must be aware of is how to charge a customer for each trip. While the prices of some trips have been predetermined (商定), such as airport fares, other trips must be calculated using taximeters (计价器) and fee charts. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}
