At Morton High School, students’ 6 clothing such as baggy (宽松的) trousers, low-necked shirts and tank tops (紧身短背心) is not allowed in classrooms. Some students think they have the right to choose what to 7 , but the headmaster doesn’t think so. “I still insist (坚持) even ten percent of the students in our school were sent home, because 90% will get the 8 that our school is for education,” the headmaster said. “Freedom” does not 9 “being free without restriction (约束)”.

The bench is a tool for kids to protect themselves and helps create a safe and responsible 4 for all children. The bench is also a useful tool to fight against bullies (恃强凌弱者) because it builds kids’ confidence to 5 ask others to play with them. At the same time reaching out to others who are feeling forgotten is important, too. The idea of the “Buddy Bench” is 6 : Students who want to take part in playground games and activities but may hesitate(犹豫) can take the seat. That shows that they may need extra 7 to take part in the activities. Four fourth-grade students came up with the idea. And they reported it to the school community. The community 8 their suggestion and raised money to set up a bright metal bench. There is a sign that 9 “Buddy Bench” on the playground. Since it was set up, the bench had been effective (有效的).

It’s a kind of important ability that helps us better understand ourselves and others. Here are some 1 about having high EQ. You should research your feelings. That’s a 2 of high EQ. You don’t just feel. You think about how you are feeling and try to understand 3 . Doing so helps you understand the role emotions(情绪) that play in your own and others’ behavior. You should take your time. You know emotions and feelings appear in a short time and making 4 decisions leads to bad results. That’s why you should take time to calm down before speaking or 5 , especially when you realize you’re under the control of emotions. You should pay attention to your thoughts. You can’t always control your feelings. Outside stimuli(刺激) can cause you to feel happy, excited, sad or 6 angry. But you should realize that you can influence how those feelings develop. As the old saying goes, “You can’t stop a bird from landing on your head, but you can 7 it from building a nest(巢穴).” You should praise(表扬)others. You look for the good in others. When you find it, you can tell them what you 8 and why. By doing so, you lift others up and bring out the best in them. You should learn from mistakes. No one can be 9 in managing their emotions.

At the end of the conversation, he said, “If you need me in any way, I’ll be happy to help out.” And I knew what he meant! I hung up the phone, feeling happy. That day I re-learned something 4 about life. Life is firstly about 5 —not plans, not to-do lists. It’s not a million jobs left that we don’t do—it’s only about people. To love and to know that others love us is the greatest 6 . My friend reminded me that it is never enough just to love. We 7 also say it out. George William Childs put it like this: “Do not keep the box of your love and friendship sealed up（封闭） 8 your friends are dead.

Well, I think there are many ways. 3 , I’ll encourage my child to do things he or she likes. The things should be good 4 him or her. If it is not good for my child, I’ll talk to him or her about the disadvantages of the thing in a(n) 5 way. Second, I will always take pride in everything good that my child 6 . For example, if he or she gets good grades, I’ll say something like 7 , “Well done! I’m very proud of you.” These words will both make my child and me very 8 .

When Sheena tried to stand up, Samantha held on to her arm, saying, “We’ll 7 the competition together.” The finishing line seemed so far away, but Samantha didn’t give up.
