Another study shows that the right amount of night-time sleep is just as important for children’s development as healthy eating and taking exercise.

If you are going to have a job interview, be prepared for the kinds of interviews you can expect. 1 . Here are some tips for telephone interviews:
Predict the questions. Before the interview, guess and write down the questions you might be asked. 2 . The questions can be about your working experiences, skills and achievements.
3 Have any key information next to the phone, including your notes about the company and the questions you have prepared. Then you can easily get the information you need. In this way, you will sound more prepared.
Avoid money topics. When you are asked how much money you would expect monthly, it’s not wise if you give no answers. But it’s not right to give an exact number at once. Try to be open to discussion, so you’d better say something like, “ 4 ”
Push for a face-to-face meeting. At the end of the interview, don’t forget to sell yourself. You can say something like, “I am very interested in working in your company. If possible I’d be really happy to see some of your managers. 5 ”

Taking a great photo is not easy and there are lots of things to consider. How do you choose and organize your subjects within your photo? 1 Here are some tips from the art, design and photography lovers.
Find a focus (焦点). When taking a picture, ask yourself, “What’s the focus?” If you are taking a picture of a crowded street, choose a subject which draws your eye. 2 If it’s a landscape photo of a field, the focus could be a big tree.
3 It’s a bit boring to put your subject right in the middle. Place it a little on the left or right of your photo. Imagine your photo is divided into a three-by-three grid (网格) of boxes. One of the corners of your central square is where your focus should be.
Make colorful contrasts (对比). Color in a picture is more easily noticed if it has a contrast. 4 They will stand out more if they are taken beside a grey stone wall, or photographed in a bright blue sky.
Try different angles (角度). To add more interest to a photo, try taking it from different angles. This means you need to move around, taking photos from different sides, from above or from below. For example, if you photograph a building from a plane, it looks tiny; but a photo of the same building looking up from the street makes it look big. 5
Practice makes perfect. Try everything for the perfect shot.
A.Place the photo in the right place.
B.It can tell a different story.
C.Remember the rule of thirds.
D.Think about focus, color, light and more.
E.It could be a person wearing bright colors.
F.If you take a picture of yellow flowers, don’t fill your picture with them.
G.You will be crazy about taking photos if you practise more.

◇ 3

◇When you are unable to keep yourself in good condition
Crying can help you manage strong moods or feelings.

You might have a friend or a classmate who remembers every single detail. How can he or she make it? A good memory is often seen as something that comes naturally and a bad memory as something that cannot be changed. 1
Take an interest
We all have the same opinion that we can easily remember the things we are interested in and forget the ones that bore us. 2 but make a great effort to remember dates from history lessons! One way to “make” yourself nu ore interested is to ask questions—the more, the better!
Organize things in groups
3 You can use this by organizing the materials you are studying. Try grouping similar knowledge together, or make a mind map of textbook reading to help group the information. Then when you learn more about that subject, you understand that better. Be sure things are clear in your mind. If not, ask questions until you understand!
What’s more, when you’re learning new materials, take the time to think about the relationship between the present information and what you’ve already known. 4
Take physical exercise
Physical exercise is also important for your memory, because it increases your heart rate and sends more oxygen to your brain, and that makes your memory work better. 5
So the next time your e learning new information, you can use the methods above. I’m sure that you will improve your memory and get more out of it.
A.Then it helps you remember information.
B.Some people were born with a good memory.
C.Exercise also reduces stress which is very bad for the memory.
D.We all agree that it’s easy to remember what you have much interest in.
E.It’s not hard to explain why schoolboys remember football results without difficulty.
F.However, actually there are plenty of things that you can do to improve your memory.
G.Researchers have found that information organized in groups can be easy to remember.

Tips on How to Study Smarter
Having good study skills is always helpful. And it’s more important in the present situation, where online classes are growing. Students are likely to learn without a teacher or parent watching over. So you will have to manage your time and study more on your own. 1
◆Practice practice, practice! Musicians, practice their instruments. Athletes practice sports skills. 2 If you want to be able to remember information, the best thing you can do is practice. In one study, students took practice tests over several weeks. On the final test, they scored better than those who studied in the normal way.
◆Test yourself. Before big tests, you may often cover up the notes, and then try to recall them. This practice can help nearly everyone. You can put questions down on one side of the paper and the answers on the other side. Try to test yourself in the way the teacher asks questions. Teachers often dig deeper. 3
◆Learn from mistakes. A secret of science: Mistakes help understanding. If you don t find out what the answer is, you’re wasting your time. Checking the answers can make your study time more efficient. 4 You can then focus on what you get wrong. In fact, mistakes are actually a primary key to learning.
◆ 5 Students know some good study skills, yet many of you don’t actually do these things. Often you fail to plan ahead. So do make plans. And try to stick to a routine, too. For example, you can have a set time and place where you do schoolwork and study. And get enough sleep — not just the night before the test but for weeks or months on end.
A.You can add more skills.
B.They don’t just ask easy questions.
C.Friends can test each other.
D.Here are some tips to develop good study skills.
E.The same should go for learning.
F.Check to see if you are right.
G.Make a plan and stick to it.

Teenagers often experience ups and downs in emotions. Sometimes negative (消极的) emotions from present schoolwork and worries about future are with us.
1 They even influence a person’s confidence greatly and make it hard to realize dreams. For example, people who think“I can’t do this” or “I doubt my skills” may fail to finish their tasks. This is one reason why it’s important to know some negative emotions and find ways that change them for the better.
2 . Sometimes they can be so sudden and powerful that it’s hard to know exactly what you’re experiencing. The best way is to stop for a short time and think for a moment when you notice yourself feeling unhappy. Try to name what emotion it is and say to yourself, “I feel angry, sad, or worried.” 3
If you’re unhappy but aren’t quite sure why, it can help to talk to someone you trust, like a close friend or family members who can keep a secret. 4
If you have much difficulty talking about your feelings or you think people cannot understand you, keep a diary, draw or paint, or do something else that helps you get through hard times. 5 If you spend time finding out more about your feelings, you will become skilled at solving the emotional problems as they come up.
A.It takes practice to know about emotions.
B.Talking things over can also help deal with your feelings.
C.Devoting yourself to something positive can help lift your mood.
D.You should always believe yourself when you want to give up.
E.By doing this, you will be able to know your emotions better and understand your problems more clearly.
F.When negative thoughts and feelings appear, they may be harmful to many parts of life.
G.Anyway, expressing your feelings in a proper way instead of hiding them deep in your heart is a good choice!

Nearly everyone is shy in some ways. Some are born shy while others become shy because of too much unhappiness. 1 They may always wonder: What kind of impression am I making? Do the people around like me? Am I wearing unfashionable clothes?
Since shyness makes people feel uncomfortable, why not try to overcome (克服) it? 2
Keep a diary to find out the cause of your fears. By writing down your thoughts and fears, you can know more about yourself.
3 For example, if you’re going to a party, you’d better find out who will be there and what they will do. Think about what you would like to say ahead of time. In this way, you’ll feel it much easier to communicate with others.
Make simple changes in body language. 4 “S” stands for “smile”. “O” is for “open” (always leave your legs and arms uncrossed), “F” for “forward”, “T” for “touch”, “E” for “eye contact” and “N” for “nod” (showing you’re listening and understanding).
No one ever gets over shyness completely. 5 So if you fail to beat shyness completely, don’t feel stressed. At least you can give other people a chance to know more about you!
A.The reasons why they are shy remain a secret.
B.The word “SOFTEN” may be helpful to you.
C.Shy people usually care too much about their own actions.
D.Prepare yourself for being with others in groups.
E.Don’t pay too much attention to the people around you.
F.But most people do learn to live with their shyness.
G.Here are some suggestions from psychologists.

Festivals let us enjoy life. There are all kinds of festivals around the world. With all kinds of festivals on their way, “gift” is always everyone’s favorite topic to think about! 1 And I have found gift-giving quite different in the US compared with China.
2 In the US, the people who give the gift (let’s call them the “gifter”) often want to see the people who get the gift (let’s call them the “giftee”) open the present at once. They want to see their reaction (反应) of excitement and joy. In China, however, it’s more polite to thank the gifter when they receive the gift. 3
Another thing I found different was the openness and directness of giving money. Although people in the US might give money to their children, it is usually done very secretly with the money put in a card. 4 In China, the practice is much more open in a flashy (显眼的) red envelope to symbolize good luck.
Finally, the value of the gift can play a big role in China in ways that are different from the US. 5 But in China, it can make the gifter feel embarrassed due to a sense of having to return the favor in the future to the gifter.
Traditional customs carry the values and history of a culture which help us stay connected to our roots (根). So, next time you give a gift to somebody, remember that culture and meaning are part of every action we take.
A.And it is never discussed out loud.
B.Gift-giving is different all over the world.
C.One example is the time when people open a gift.
D.But they don’t open the gift until they get back home.
E.The meaning of the gift is more important than the price of it.
F.To be more exact, it is the giving of gifts and the culture about it.
G.An expensive gift in the US is usually welcomed with great excitement.

When you wake up every morning, you need to decide what to wear, what to eat, whether to do exercise, etc. Along the road of life, you make many decisions. So you should be careful of decision making. Even one small choice can make a big difference. 1 Here is some advice for you.
Don’t make decisions when you are over-excited, angry or sad. 2 If you can’t stay calm, put off making the decision until you’re thinking clearly.
Most decisions are made better when you have enough information. Do some research to find out as much as you can about your decision.
3 And don’t make decisions until you’ve got a full list of your choices. If you have trouble thinking of all the choices, ask your family or friends for help.
The best way to make a decision is to think about how you’re going to feel about it in the future. Warren Buffett’s 10/10/10 Rule can help you make decisions. 4 How will you feel about your decision in 10 minutes? How about in 10 months? How about in 10 years?
Of course, if a decision you made is finally found to be wrong, remember life is not always what you want it to be. 5 Enjoy the learning process, and use it as a stepping stone to make wiser decisions in the future.
A.Ask your parents and teachers for help.
B.Try to make a list of the choices you have first.
C.However, it’s not easy to make the right decision.
D.Nowadays, some AI tools can give us much information.
E.It’s really easy and you just remember the three questions.
F.Learning from mistakes is an important part of one’s growth.
G.Staying in high spirits can influence your ability to make a good decision.

People who think in a positive way are happier, healthier, and get along better with others. Building habits that encourage you to think more positively is very important, especially when you’re dealing with a lot of negative (消极) feelings like fear, sadness or stress. Everyone has negative thoughts and feelings sometimes. 1
Notice every positive feeling you have during the day. Make a list of them. Then you can know more about the feelings you experience and the activities that cause them. 2
3 Let’s say you choose confidence. What helps you feel confident? How can you get more of that feeling? You might get some encouragement from your parents before a test. Or maybe you stand up straighter and walk through the halls in a confident way, feeling strong.
Be grateful. Try your best to practice gratitude (感激) every day. 4 It could be like having a place to live, food, friends, family, even clean water. It’s taking a moment to think about how lucky you are when something good happens.
Positive thoughts and feelings are powerful tools. 5 Try to create enough room for joy, fun, friendship, kindness and gratitude. Your life can be better.
A.Be confident when there is challenge.
B.Pick a positive feeling and make it stronger.
C.So, make a way for them in your everyday life.
D.Here are some useful tips for you to get encouragement.
E.This means noticing the things you usually pay little attention to.
F.For example, you might feel proud when you answer a question right.
G.However, you’d better get some training to look on the bright side as much as you can.

Adolescence (青春期) is a difficult time for teenagers. It takes place when you are aged between thirteen and nineteen. As your body changes, you also begin to think and feel differently. 1 For example, you used to be happiest in the company (陪伴) of your parents. But now you need your own space. In the past, your parents made most decisions for you, but now you want to decide things for yourself.
All these changes are perfectly normal (正常的). 2 So what can you do to make sure that you keep a good relationship with your parents?
Firstly, your parents will feel much better if you let them know that you still love and value them. Remember that they have forever lost the little child when you grow up. 3
4 You may feel these are unnecessary, but your parents’ main concern (顾虑) is just to keep you safe. Once you have agreed with the rules, try to stick to them. It may feel like a nuisance (麻烦事) to remember to phone them and let them know where you are, but make the effort anyway.
Finally, it’s all about communication! Keep talking to your parents, tell them about what you did today, let them know where you are going, and ask for advice if you need it. 5
A.The more you communicate with them, the more they will trust you.
B.But it is important to remember that they will influence your relationship with your parents.
C.You may go through some changes.
D.Anyway, you should always listen to them.
E.Secondly, try to agree with your family rules.
F.They may not say so, but they are probably feeling a sense of loss (失落).

Taking a great photo is not easy and there are lots of things to consider. How do you choose and organize your subjects within your photo? 1 Here are some tips from the art, design and photography lovers.
Find a focus (焦点). When taking a picture, ask yourself, “What’s the focus?” If you are taking a picture of a crowded street, choose a subject which draws your eye. 2 If it’s a landscape photo of a field, the focus could be a big tree.
3 It’s a bit boring to put your subject right in the middle. Place it a little on the left or right of your photo. Imagine your photo is divided into a three-by-three grid (网格) of boxes. One of the corners of your central square is where your focus should be.
Make colorful contrasts (对比). Color in a picture is more easily noticed if it has a contrast. 4 They will stand out more if they are taken beside a grey stone wall, or photographed in a bright blue sky.
Try different angles (角度). To add more interest to a photo, try taking it from different angles. This means you need to move around, taking photos from different sides, from above or from below. For example, if you photograph a building from a plane, it looks tiny; but a photo of the same building looking up from the street makes it look big. 5
Practice makes perfect. Try everything for the perfect shot.
A.Place the photo in the right place.
B.It can tell a different story.
C.Remember the rule of thirds.
D.Think about focus, color, light and more.
E.It could be a person wearing bright colors.
F.If you take a picture of yellow flowers, don’t fill your picture with them.
G.You will be crazy about taking photos if you practise more.

Sleep plays an important role in brain development. Children should get enough sleep. 1 A study says that because of being short of sleep, it is much harder for children to do something carefully. 2 Another study shows that the right amount of night- time sleep is just as important for children’s development as healthy eating and taking exercise.
3 In general a younger child needs more sleep than an older one. Children at the age of 5-11 will need 10-12 hours of sleep a night while children at the age of more than 11 will need fewer hours.
In fact, many parents don’t know how to help their children get enough sleep. Here is something you can do. For children at the age of 5-11, a 30~40 minutes’ routine (常规) before sleep is helpful. 4 In the activities, children relax and enjoy themselves a lot, and they will go to sleep more easily.
Children at the age of more than 11 may go to bed late in the evening, talking with friends online, playing games or watching TV. 5 And even they will be tired during the day. So limit your children’s use of the Internet, games and the TV before they go to bed. And don’t allow them to have a computer or TV set in their bedroom.

You might have a friend or a classmate who remembers every single detail. How can he or she make it? A good memory is often seen as something that comes naturally and a bad memory as something that cannot be changed. 1
Take an interest
We all have the same opinion that we can easily remember the things we are interested in and forget the ones that bore us. 2 but make a great effort to remember dates from history lessons! One way to “make” yourself nu ore interested is to ask questions—the more, the better!
Organize things in groups

Then when you learn more about that subject, you understand that better. Be sure things are clear in your mind. If not, ask questions until you understand!
What’s more, when you’re learning new materials, take the time to think about the relationship between the present information and what you’ve already known. 4
Take physical exercise
Physical exercise is also important for your memory, because it increases your heart rate and sends more oxygen to your brain, and that makes your memory work better. 5
So the next time your e learning new information, you can use the methods above. I’m sure that you will improve your memory and get more out of it.
A.Then it helps you remember information.
B.Some people were born with a good memory.
C.Exercise also reduces stress which is very bad for the memory.

Tips on How to Study Smarter
Having good study skills is always helpful. And it’s more important in the present situation, where online classes are growing. Students are likely to learn without a teacher or parent watching over. So you will have to manage your time and study more on your own. 1
◆Practice practice, practice! Musicians, practice their instruments. Athletes practice sports skills. 2 If you want to be able to remember information, the best thing you can do is practice. In one study, students took practice tests over several weeks. On the final test, they scored better than those who studied in the normal way.
◆Test yourself. Before big tests, you may often cover up the notes, and then try to recall them. This practice can help nearly everyone. You can put questions down on one side of the paper and the answers on the other side. Try to test yourself in the way the teacher asks questions. Teachers often dig deeper. 3
◆Learn from mistakes. A secret of science: Mistakes help understanding. If you don t find out what the answer is, you’re wasting your time. Checking the answers can make your study time more efficient. 4 You can then focus on what you get wrong. In fact, mistakes are actually a primary key to learning.
◆ 5 Students know some good study skills, yet many of you don’t actually do these things. Often you fail to plan ahead. So do make plans. And try to stick to a routine, too. For example, you can have a set time and place where you do schoolwork and study. And get enough sleep — not just the night before the test but for weeks or months on end.
A.You can add more skills.
B.They don’t just ask easy questions.
C.Friends can test each other.
D.Here are some tips to develop good study skills.
E.The same should go for learning.
F.Check to see if you are right.
G.Make a plan and stick to it.

Teenagers often experience ups and downs in emotions. Sometimes negative (消极的) emotions from present schoolwork and worries about future are with us.
1 They even influence a person’s confidence greatly and make it hard to realize dreams. For example, people who think“I can’t do this” or “I doubt my skills” may fail to finish their tasks. This is one reason why it’s important to know some negative emotions and find ways that change them for the better.
2 . Sometimes they can be so sudden and powerful that it’s hard to know exactly what you’re experiencing. The best way is to stop for a short time and think for a moment when you notice yourself feeling unhappy. Try to name what emotion it is and say to yourself, “I feel angry, sad, or worried.” 3
If you’re unhappy but aren’t quite sure why, it can help to talk to someone you trust, like a close friend or family members who can keep a secret. 4
If you have much difficulty talking about your feelings or you think people cannot understand you, keep a diary, draw or paint, or do something else that helps you get through hard times. 5 If you spend time finding out more about your feelings, you will become skilled at solving the emotional problems as they come up.
A.It takes practice to know about emotions.
B.Talking things over can also help deal with your feelings.
C.Devoting yourself to something positive can help lift your mood.
D.You should always believe yourself when you want to give up.
E.By doing this, you will be able to know your emotions better and understand your problems more clearly.
F.When negative thoughts and feelings appear, they may be harmful to many parts of life.
G.Anyway, expressing your feelings in a proper way instead of hiding them deep in your heart is a good choice!

Nearly everyone is shy in some ways. Some are born shy while others become shy because of too much unhappiness. 1 They may always wonder: What kind of impression am I making? Do the people around like me? Am I wearing unfashionable clothes?
Since shyness makes people feel uncomfortable, why not try to overcome (克服) it? 2
Keep a diary to find out the cause of your fears. By writing down your thoughts and fears, you can know more about yourself.
3 For example, if you’re going to a party, you’d better find out who will be there and what they will do. Think about what you would like to say ahead of time. In this way, you’ll feel it much easier to communicate with others.
Make simple changes in body language. 4 “S” stands for “smile”. “O” is for “open” (always leave your legs and arms uncrossed), “F” for “forward”, “T” for “touch”, “E” for “eye contact” and “N” for “nod” (showing you’re listening and understanding).
No one ever gets over shyness completely. 5 So if you fail to beat shyness completely, don’t feel stressed. At least you can give other people a chance to know more about you!
A.The reasons why they are shy remain a secret.
B.The word “SOFTEN” may be helpful to you.
C.Shy people usually care too much about their own actions.
D.Prepare yourself for being with others in groups.
E.Don’t pay too much attention to the people around you.
F.But most people do learn to live with their shyness.
G.Here are some suggestions from psychologists.

Festivals let us enjoy life. There are all kinds of festivals around the world. With all kinds of festivals on their way, “gift” is always everyone’s favorite topic to think about! 1 And I have found gift-giving quite different in the US compared with China.
2 In the US, the people who give the gift (let’s call them the “gifter”) often want to see the people who get the gift (let’s call them the “giftee”) open the present at once. They want to see their reaction (反应) of excitement and joy. In China, however, it’s more polite to thank the gifter when they receive the gift. 3
Another thing I found different was the openness and directness of giving money. Although people in the US might give money to their children, it is usually done very secretly with the money put in a card. 4 In China, the practice is much more open in a flashy (显眼的) red envelope to symbolize good luck.
Finally, the value of the gift can play a big role in China in ways that are different from the US. 5 But in China, it can make the gifter feel embarrassed due to a sense of having to return the favor in the future to the gifter.
Traditional customs carry the values and history of a culture which help us stay connected to our roots (根). So, next time you give a gift to somebody, remember that culture and meaning are part of every action we take.
A.And it is never discussed out loud.
B.Gift-giving is different all over the world.
C.One example is the time when people open a gift.
D.But they don’t open the gift until they get back home.
E.The meaning of the gift is more important than the price of it.
F.To be more exact, it is the giving of gifts and the culture about it.
G.An expensive gift in the US is usually welcomed with great excitement.

When you wake up every morning, you need to decide what to wear, what to eat, whether to do exercise, etc. Along the road of life, you make many decisions. So you should be careful of decision making. Even one small choice can make a big difference. 1 Here is some advice for you.
Don’t make decisions when you are over-excited, angry or sad. 2 If you can’t stay calm, put off making the decision until you’re thinking clearly.
Most decisions are made better when you have enough information. Do some research to find out as much as you can about your decision.
3 And don’t make decisions until you’ve got a full list of your choices. If you have trouble thinking of all the choices, ask your family or friends for help.
The best way to make a decision is to think about how you’re going to feel about it in the future. Warren Buffett’s 10/10/10 Rule can help you make decisions. 4 How will you feel about your decision in 10 minutes? How about in 10 months? How about in 10 years?
Of course, if a decision you made is finally found to be wrong, remember life is not always what you want it to be. 5 Enjoy the learning process, and use it as a stepping stone to make wiser decisions in the future.
A.Ask your parents and teachers for help.
B.Try to make a list of the choices you have first.
C.However, it’s not easy to make the right decision.
D.Nowadays, some AI tools can give us much information.
E.It’s really easy and you just remember the three questions.
F.Learning from mistakes is an important part of one’s growth.
G.Staying in high spirits can influence your ability to make a good decision.

People who think in a positive way are happier, healthier, and get along better with others.

Everyone has negative thoughts and feelings sometimes. 1
Notice every positive feeling you have during the day. Make a list of them. Then you can know more about the feelings you experience and the activities that cause them. 2
3 Let’s say you choose confidence. What helps you feel confident? How can you get more of that feeling? You might get some encouragement from your parents before a test. Or maybe you stand up straighter and walk through the halls in a confident way, feeling strong.
Be grateful. Try your best to practice gratitude (感激) every day. 4 It could be like having a place to live, food, friends, family, even clean water. It’s taking a moment to think about how lucky you are when something good happens.
Positive thoughts and feelings are powerful tools. 5 Try to create enough room for joy, fun, friendship, kindness and gratitude. Your life can be better.
A.Be confident when there is challenge.
B.Pick a positive feeling and make it stronger.
C.So, make a way for them in your everyday life.
D.Here are some useful tips for you to get encouragement.
E.This means noticing the things you usually pay little attention to.

Adolescence (青春期) is a difficult time for teenagers. It takes place when you are aged between thirteen and nineteen. As your body changes, you also begin to think and feel differently. 1 For example, you used to be happiest in the company (陪伴) of your parents. But now you need your own space.
