3. 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.4.
There're more after-school 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 the school office about opportunities to take part 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.5.
Since you'll attend more activities in high school than in middle school, you'll have to learn how to manage your time.

I began working in journalism when I was eight.It was my mother's idea.She wanted me to “make something” of myself,and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition.
With my load of magazines I headed toward Belleville Avenue.The crowds were there.There were two gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union.For several hours I made myself highly visible,making sure everyone could see me and the heavy black letters on the bag that said THE SATURDAY EVENING POST.When it was supper time,I walked back home.
“How many did you sell, my boy?” my mother asked. “None.”
“Where did you go?”
“The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues.” “What did you do?”
“Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a Saturday Evening Post.” “You just stood there? Didn't sell a single one? My God,Russell.”
Uncle Allen put in, “I've decided to take the Post.” I handed him a copy and he paid me a nickle(五分镍币)．It was the first nickle I earned.
Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman. I would have to ring doorbells, address adults with self-confidence,and persuade them by saying that no one, no matter how poor, could afford to be without the Saturday Evening Post in the home.
One day,I told my mother I'd changed my mind.I didn't want to make a success in the magazine business.
“If you think you can change your mind like this,” she replied, “you'll become a good-for-nothing.” She insisted that,as soon as school was over, I should start ringing doorbells, selling magazines.Whenever I said no, she would scold me.
My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember.My mother, dissatisfied with my father's plain workman's life, determined that I would not grow up like him and his people.But never did she expect that, forty years later, such a successful journalist as me would go back to her husband's people for true life and love.

Science experiments are a fun way for kids to learn all about science.I will introduce a few great experiments and teach your child all about the wonders of inertia(惯性).
Coin Shoot
You'll need some coins, at least eleven, and a smooth table.Stack(堆叠) all but one of the coins on the smooth table, making sure that the “high rise” is straight. Coins with wide edges make this experiment easy to do. Flick ( 弹 ) the extra coin quickly towards the bottom of the stack so that it hits the bottom coin.The bottom coin from the stack should shoot out from under the other coins without changing the rest of the stack. With good aim and quick flicks of your finger, you should be able to shoot all of the coins out of the stack one by one. Because the inertia of the stack of coins is so great, the force from the flicked coin is not enough to make the entire stack move or fall down.
The Pencil Standing
Place a narrow piece of paper on a smooth table. Hold the paper so that most of it hangs off the table.Place a pencil on the paper so that it is standing straight.Now,slowly try to pull the paper out from under the pencil.What happens? Set up the paper and pencil again, and give the paper a fast pull. What happens to the pencil this time?
Since the still pencil wants to stay at rest, it will be against the fast movement of the paper.This means that when the paper is moved quickly out from under the pencil, the pencil remains standing straight. If the paper is moved slowly, the movement has a chance to influence the pencil, and it will fall down.
1.Which of the following is used in both of the two experiments?
A.A narrow piece of paper. B.A number of coins.
C.A smooth table. D.A new pencil.
2.What result can we get if we do the first experiment well?
A.The stack of coins fall down on the table.
B.The bottom coin is flicked out of the stack.
C.All of the coins are taken away from the table.
D.All of the coins are shot out of the stack one by one.
3.Most of the paper hangs off the table so that .
A.we can pull it quickly B.we can take hold of it
C.it can influence the pencil D.the pencil can stand straight
4.If we pull the paper slowly out from under the pencil, the pencil will .
A.move slowly with the paper B.stand straight on the table
C.be shot out from the table D.fall down on the table
