A young American doctor is asleep when his doorbell rings. It is late at night, but he has to put on his coat to answer it.
It is a man! He is standing with a hat in his hand. “How do you do?” says the man.
“Can you go with me now to a place out of the town? It is quite far from here, but I know you have a car and I can show you the way.”

First, take a day to enjoy your school. You won’t fit in at school if you don’t know the school. Ask for a school map. Try to get to know every corner of your new school.

Be nice to everyone. Be nice to everyone, the young or the old, because they might just be your next teacher or friend.
Get to know your teachers and pay attention in class. Teachers always pay attention to(关注) new students, Talk to them and find out more about them. Never test their limits(底线)—don’t go too far, or you may end up getting into trouhle（麻烦）

It’s often the “girl/boy that I did’t like at my new school” that ends up being my friend after a little while. But then again, don’t be afraid to stand up for yourself if it’s very clear that you should.
