What are you like? It can be difficult to see yourself from the outsid,but being
self-aware(自知的) can help.
Self-awareness is an ability(能力) to see ourselves clearly, to understand who we
are; how others see us and how we get into the world. For example, if you' re self-aware you may know that you love playing some kind of sports because you' re good at it, or
you love watching cartoons because they help you relax.
Being self-aware lets you make better decisions about friendship, schoolwork and even which films to watch. You learn to trust your feelings more. It's important because
it helps to have a happier and healthier life. But being self-aware doesn't mean you are
selfish and only thinking of yourself. By understanding your feelings, you can understand others' feelings, too.
A good way to be self-aware is by asking questions. Ask“what", but not“why” For example, if you dön't know why you keep fighting with your parents, ask yourself what your disagree on, but not why you are fighting. Another way is to try out new things, like playing a new sport or listening to different music. Firiding out what you like and dislike, and what you are good or poor at is a part of learning more about yourself.

They are called sea“parrots”, and sometimes“clowns of the sea”!
Atlantic puffins(海鹦) are small seabirds which are around 25 cm long. They have black and white feathers and a large parrot-like beak(鸟喙). The beak changes color during the year. In winter, the beak has a dull gray color, but it turns orange in spring!
Puffins spend most of their lives at sea. They live on the eastern coast of Canada and the United States and the Western coast of Europe. Puffins live by eating s maıl fish such as herring, hake and sand eels. Puffins flap(拍) their wings up to 400 times a minute and fly at up to 88 km an hour. Wow! What's more, puffins can dive(潜水) down 60 m under water to look for their favorite fish.
In spring and summer, thousands of puffins stay together on the coasts and islands of the North Atlantic Ocean to start a puffin family. They usually get together with the same partner as before. Some may have been together for 20 years! Puffins usually lay the eggs and protect them for the next 36-45 days!
Although puffins are not the animals in danger, the number in some places is becoming smaller. The main reasons are overfishing , which can lead to less food for puffins, and pollution - - - - especially oil spills(溢出). Not only does the oil make these beautiful birds sick , it is also bad for their feathers.

When you sleep somewhere else---like at a summer camp or a friend's house you' re in for a
fun time. It can be exciting to get away from the same old bed in the same old room in the same old house. 41 It's called being homesick.
Homesick means you are upset, sad. and maybe scared. But don't feel surprised. A lot of people get homesick, even grown-ups. When you' re used to having certain people around you, it can be
scary when they are gone. 42 Some kids may feel more homesick than usual if their parents get divorced(离婚) or if someone they loved has recently died.
Here are some ideas to help you feel less homesick.
43 If you' re going away from home, bring your pillow or pictures of the people you will
be apart from and look at them any time you want.
Keep busy. The more fun things you do, the less time you' ll have to feel homesick. 44
Stay in touch. You can make a plan for when you will call your mum or dad. You can also send
e-mails or text messages to keep in touch with family and friends. When you do get in touch with
someone, make sure to talk about the fun things you' re doing!
Talk to someone where you are. 45 He or she-might have some ideas to help you feel better.

Atlantic puffins()are small seabirds which are around 25 cm long.They have
black and white feathers and a large parrot-like beak().The beak changes color
during the year.In winter,the beak has a dull gray color,but it turns orange in spring!
Puffins spend most of their lives at sea.They live on the eastern coast of Canada and
the United States and the Western coast of Europe.Puffins live by eating smail fish such
as herring,hake and sand eels.Puffins flap()their wings up to 400 times a minute and fly
at up to 88 km an hour.Wow!What's more,puffins can dive()down 60 m under
water to look for their favorite fish.
In spring and summer,thousands of puffins stay together on the coasts and islands of
the North Atlantic Ocean to start a puffin family.They usually get together with the same
partner as before.Some may have been together for 20 years!Puffins usually lay the eggs
and protect them for the next 36-45 days!
Although puffins are not the animals in danger,the number in some places is
becoming smaller.The main reasons are overfishing,which can lead to less food for
puffins,and pollution ----especially oil spills().Not only does the oil make these
beautiful birds sick,it is also bad for their feathers.
