Everyone worries. But how do you deal with your worries? Whether your worries are big or small, you can take these three steps to deal with your worries. 1. Try to find out what you're worried about Sometimes, you will know what you're worried about. Other times, you might not. Try to find it out first; if you can't, you can ask for help. 2. Think of ways to make it better There is always something you can do to help you feel less worried. Sitting there worrying is no fun and it won't solve your problem. Grades at school are often a top worry for kids. If you're worried about grades, ask yourself these questions : ☆ Why are grades important? What do grades mean to me? ☆ How do I get ready for class? Do I go over my notes even when there isn't a test? ☆ Do I have a good place to do my homework? ☆ Have I tried different ways of studying? If your worry is about a fight you had with a friend, you might write down all the things you could do-write a note to him or her, invite him or her to a basketball game, say sorry to him or her, etc. Once you have a list of things you could do, you can choose the one that gets your friend back. 3. Ask for help When you're worried, it can help to find someone to talk to. You can ask your parents, friends, or teachers for help. 1. When you don’t know what you are worried about, ___________.

There are many colors in nature. But do you know if a color has weight? I think you will say “no”. But I am afraid you are wrong. If you don’t believe, you can do a small experiment. First, put two objects with the same weight into two boxes. Then cover the box. Third, wrap one box with a red piece of paper, the other with a white piece of paper. OK. Now hold the boxes with your hand one by one. It is certain that you will think the red one is a little heavier. Why do you think so? A scientist found that different colors have different weight in a man’s mind. So he did many tests and at last he got the result. That is to say, every color has its own weight in our mind and their order is the same. The heaviest color is red, then blue, green, orange, yellow and white. The scientist told us that colors also have smell. Can you smell the color? Of course not. Then why did the scientist say so? That is because every color stands for a kind of light with a certain wavelength. It reaches our brain through sense organs. According to this discovery, scientists say that people accept the colors they like, and refuse the colors they hate. So your body and mind will be healthy by using the colors you like. Or you’ll be nervous or even get ill. For example, if you stay in a room with red windows, wallpapers and furniture for two hours, you’ll feel you have been there for four hours. But if the room is blue, you’ll feel you have been there for only an hour. Another example, if a person walks out of a red room and into a blue room, his temperature will fall. That means our body temperature will change with different colors. 1.The idea of the second paragraph is to tell us _________. A.a red box is heavier than a white one B.a color has weight in one’s mind C.white paper is lighter than red paper D.you can know the weight of a color by holding it 2.Why does the scientist say colors has smell? A.Because people can sense the light from colors. B.Because we can smell the colors by our noses. C.Because every color has its sweet smell. D.Because every color gives off light with the same wavelength. 3.It can be known from the text that ____________. A.colors has order in weight. B.colors can change the weight of an object. C.people would stay longer in a room with red windows. D.colors can affect our mood and health. 4.The passage is probably a __________. A. book review B. history textbook C. travel magazine D. science report.

Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I learned lessons from his experiences. He always told me, “You should have goals like climbing the mountain.” Without the mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed, we couldn't have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy. I really got a lot from the mountain-climbing. It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep thought as well as develop my patience. Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so challenging for me because I was only ten years old. During the first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the birds' singing.
