How to Deal with Pressures at School
As a high school student, if you are feeling stressed out or frustrated by teachers, classmates,or schoolwork，it is important to know that you aren't the only one． Believe it or not，everyone has these feelings at some point， and everyone should learn how to deal with them properly．
First of all， you need to keep a positive attitude and not take things to heart． That someone got a better grade than you doesn't mean that they are smarter—perhaps they studied longer or knew the material more． It's easy to become frustrated if you are not doing as well as your friends， but being optimistic will help you deal with future similar situations．
Secondly， if students at school are bullying you， know when to stand up for yourself． Don't let other classmates make you feel that you are not good enough． They are simply insecure and do not know how to deal with the pressures of school． They are just trying to make others feel bad， so they can feel better about themselves．
Lastly， it is necessary to keep things correctly． For any situation that is stressful， take a second look from a different point of view． When I look back to the frustrations of my high school days， I notice that many of them seem very unimportant to me now．
It's not easy to be confident when there are so many students who seem like they "have it all"，but try to realize that you, too, are good enough. It’s not a competition about who is smarter, more beautiful—everyone is different—so believe your individuality.

There are five keys to success in learning a foreign language.
Spend the time.
By far the most important factor is how much time you are immersed(浸入) in the language.
1.This means spending time enjoyably connected to the language you are learning.
Listen and read every day.
Listen wherever you are on your MP3 player.2. Listen to and read things that you like, things that you can mostly understand, or even partly understand. If you keep listening and reading you will get used to the language. One hour of listening or reading is more effective than many hours of class time.
3.
Build up your vocabulary, you’ll need lots. Start to notice words and how they come together as phrases. Learn these words and phrases through your listening and reading. Gradually you will be able to use them. Do not worry about how accurately you speak until you have accumulated plenty of words through listening and reading.
Take responsibility for your own learning.
If you do not want to learn the language, you won’t. 4.Do not wait for someone else to show you the language, nor to tell you what to do. Discover the language by yourself, like a child growing up.
5.
Do not worry about what you cannot remember, or can’t yet understand. It does not matter. You are learning and improving. The language will gradually become clearer in your brain, but this will happen on a schedule that you can’t control. So just make sure you spend enough time with the language. That is the greatest guarantee of success.
A.Relax and make sure of the time spent with the language.
B.Focus on words and phrases.
C.Read what you are listening to.
D.Chat with others in the language on the Internet.
E.If you do want to learn the language, take control.
F.The more time you spend with the language, the faster you will learn.
G.There are hundreds of easy conversations for you to practice speaking.
People from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe in distinguishing facial expressions — and a new report published online in Current Biology explains why.
Rachael Jack, University of Glasgow researcher, said that rather than scanning evenly(均匀的) across a face as Westerners do, Easterners fix their attention on the eyes.
“We show that Easterners and Westerners look at different face features to read facial expressions,” Jack said. “Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure, whereas Easterners favor the eyes and neglect (忽略) the mouth.”
According to Jack and her colleagues, the discovery shows that human communication of emotion is more complex than previously believed. As a result, facial expressions that had been considered universally recognizable cannot be used to reliably convey emotion in cross-cultural situations.
The researchers studied cultural differences in the recognition of facial expressions by recording the eye movements of 13 Western Caucasian and 13 East Asian people while they observed pictures of expressive faces and put them into categories: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted, angry, or neutral. They compared how accurately participants read those facial expressions using their particular eye movement strategies.
It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made significantly more errors than did Westerners. “The cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection of cultural difference in facial expressions,” Jack said. “Our data suggest that whereas Westerners use the whole face to convey emotion, Easterners use the eyes more and mouth less.”
In short, the data show that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotion. From here on, examining how cultural factors have diversified these basic social skills will help our understanding of human emotion. Otherwise, when it comes to communicating emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation.
