Starting high school means many changes in your life. Most teenagers look forward to the first day of high school, but still feel a little bit nervous. In order to make your high school life easier, you can follow these tips.
Learn all you can about your first day before the first day. Take part in some activities that are held at the school for new students to know the school better. If parents are invited to these activities, take yours with you. Carefully look over all the materials you receive. Be sure you know where the school’s buildings are.
Get the things you will need for class. Buy the things suggested on your teachers’ supply lists and place your materials for each class separately.
Keep up with your high school workload（工作量）. If you find you’re not doing well in a subject, make use of after-school study groups or ask your teacher to help you with your schoolwork. Consider private tutoring to get you through a difficult time.
There’re more extracurricular（课外的）activities in high school than in middle school, such as clubs, music and theater groups, student government, and sports teams. Make friends and be seen at such school activities. Join a club or other organizations to meet people and develop friendships. Ask someone in school activities if you don’t know how. This is a good time to do what you like doing and an opportunity to try new things. Who said school has to be all work and no play?
Since you’ll attend more activities in high school than in middle school, you’ll have to learn how to manage you time…

Here"s one very simple but lifechanging advice that I first heard from Brian Tracy. Cut down on the TV at night by just one hour. Instead, use that hour to read books that could improve your life.
If you"re a salesman, google for the best and most useful books on improving your sales.
This applies (适用) to all fields, not just the work-related (与工作相关的) ones. Maybe you want to improve your health, become a more energetic person. Or maybe you want to improve your study, your relations or perhaps do some personal development.
One hour a day is not much. But if you read for one hour a day on weekdays, that"s about 260 hours a year. That"s a large number of books and a lot of useful advice.
If you follow the ideas, who knows what great things and feelings could come into your life. Also, all that information and advice will start to open up your mind. You will start to see more chances in your life.
Now, you might think something like this:
1. I really don"t have the money...
Answer: Visit your public library or search the database (数据库). Or look for books that are used in places like amazon.com.
2. I really don"t have the time...
Answer: Buy audiobooks and listen to them in the car while driving to and from work. Or copy them to your MP3-player and listen while riding your bike /bus to work or school. Recently selling audiobooks through MP3-downloads has become popular...

Warm water freezes more quickly than cold water. Sir Francis Bacon said that almost four hundred years ago. But few people believed him until 1970. In that year a Canadian scientist George Kill proved the English professor was right. Dr Kill filled an open oil pail(桶) with cold water. He filled another with warm water. He put both in the same low temperature. The warm water froze first. The lack of covers on the pails is the secret. Some of the warm water changed into vapor. This meant that less of the warm water was left to be frozen. And so the warm water froze faster than the cold water even though it had a greater temperature drop to make.
小题1:Hundreds of years ago, Sir Francis Bacon found _______. | A．the temperature of warm water drops faster than that of cold water | | B．warm water is heavier than cold water | | C．warm water has the same temperature as cold water | | D．warm water is not as useful as cold water |
小题2:What Sir Francis Bacon said was right, but people didn"t believe him until _______. | A．late in the 19th century | B．early in the 20th century | | C．three years ago | D．late in the 20th century |
小题3:Leave a pail with warm water and another pail with cold water in the same low temperature, you’ll find that _______. | A．cold water freezes first | | B．warm water turns into ice before cold water | | C．warm water and cold water freeze at the same time | | D．much of cold water is changed into air. |
小题4:Why does warm water freeze first in the same freezing weather? | A．Because some of the warm water turns to vapor, the amount(数量) becomes less than that of cold water. | | B．Because warm water is lighter than cold water. | | C．Because the temperature of warm water is lower than that of cold water. | | D．Because cold water freezes with more difficulty than warm water. |

2008 sadly saw the worst earthquake in China in over 30 years. The Great Sichuan Earthquake was 8 on the Richter scale and killed around 70,000 people in May, not to mention the tens of thousands who were injured or went missing.
On 26th January, 2009, the biggest earthquake in India took the lives of 25,000 people. In the morning, when everybody was enjoying holiday, the earthquake began, It was about 7.5 on the Richter scale. "There is nothing left between the sky and the earth any more. Everything has been pulled down. " said one of the villagers alive. " There is no water, no food and no one has come to help."
Nobody died in Pakistan, a country next to India. The City of Lahore was lucky. In Lahore American School, where I was studying, all of the students were safe. They were in the field, so most children didn"t feel anything. The earthquake was felt by the teachers that were on the second floor. However, though Mrs Young was also on the second floor, she didn"t feel anything. She didn"t know what happened until a teacher told her about it. Those teachers who were on the other floors had different feelings. Mr Emond, the maths teacher from Australia, said that when the earthquake started he thought there was something wrong with him, but then another teacher said that it was an earthquake. After those words Mr Emond felt better. Mrs Davis and Mr Frost didn"t feel anything either.
My mother didn"t feel anything. She didn"t even know that it was an earthquake till she saw a shaking light. My dad saw the computer shaking and then he looked out of the window and saw many people going out.
小题1:People use Richter scale to tell ______________| A．where the earthquake takes place | | B．when the earthquake takes place | | C．how serious the earthquake is | | D．how long the earthquake lasts |
小题2:The recent biggest earthquake both in China and India killed around ___ people.| A．25,000 | B．45,000 | C．70,000 | D．95,000 |
小题3:From the sentence “ There is nothing left between the sky and the earth any more” we learn that______________.| A．India is a large country | | B．the Indian had nothing after the earthquake | | C．there is no tall building in India | | D．the earthquake in India was serious |
小题4:According to the passage, the City of Lahore is in __________________.| A．India | B．Pakistan | C．America | D．China |
