Dear Jin Jing，
Your problem is common one among middle school students．Maybe the following advices can help you．First in all, believe in yourself．Your greatest problem is that you lack self-confidence．The first thing you must do it is to smile at your classmates．One smile speaks loud about your wish to make friends than any word．Your smile will show that you are friendly to him．Next, trying talking with a student who is as shy as you or who share the same interest as you．You can discuss your studies with a classmate and you can also talk about your hobbies．Unless anyone is in trouble, you should be ready to help him or her．Once you have confidence, you can make as many friends as possibly．
Yours,
Lily

Why Exercise Is Cool?
1. Exercise Strengthens Muscles
Did you ever do a push-up or swing across the monkey bars at the playground? 1. By using your muscles to do powerful things, you can make them stronger. For older teens and adults, this kind of workout can make muscles bigger, too.
2. 2.
Can you touch your toes easily without yelling ouch? Most kids are pretty flexible, which means that they can bend and stretch their bodies without much trouble. Being flexible is having “full range of motion,” which means you can move your arms and legs freely without feeling tightness or pain.
3. Exercise Keeps the Balance
3. Your body needs a certain amount of calories every day just to function, breathe, walk around, and do all the basic stuff. 4. If you’re not very active, your body won’t need as many calories.
Whatever your calorie need is, if you eat enough to meet that need, your body weight will stay about the same. If you eat more calories than your body needs, it may be stored as extra fat.
4. Exercise Makes You Feel Good
It feels good to have a strong, flexible body that can do all the activities you enjoy—like running, jumping, and playing with your friends. It’s also fun to be good at something, like scoring a basket, hitting a home run, or perfecting a dive.
But you may not know that exercising can actually put you in a better mood.5. It’s just another reason why exercise is cool!
A. So you want to do some aerobic (有氧的) exercise right now?
B. Food gives your body fuel in the form of calories, which are a kind of energy.
C. When you exercise, your brain releases a chemical, which may make you feel happier.
D. Those are exercises that can build strength.
E. Exercise Makes You Flexible
F. Exercise Makes Your Heart Happy
G. But if you’re active, your body needs an extra measure of calories or energy.
About six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a woman and a young boy sat down at the next table. I couldn’t help overhearing parts of their conversation. At one point the woman asked, “So, how have you been?” And the boy who could not have been more than seven or eight years old replied, “Frankly, I’ve been feeling a little depressed lately.”
This incident stuck in my mind because it strengthened my growing belief that children are changing. As far as I can remember, my friends and I didn’t find out we were “depressed” until we were in high school.
The evidence of a change in children has increased steadily in recent years. Children don’t seem childlike any more. Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to.
Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it certainly is different. Childhood as it once was no longer exists. Why?
Human development is based not only on born biological states, but also on patterns of access to social knowledge. Movement from one social role to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new situation. Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages: traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders.
In the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation machine has been fixed in 98 percent of American homes. It is called television. Television passes information, indiscriminately, to all viewers alike, whether they are children or adults. Unable to resist the temptation, many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging, more vivid moving pictures.
Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social information to which children have access. Reading and writing involve a complex code of symbols that must be memorized and practised. Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials.
1.Traditionally, a child is supposed to learn about the adult world _________ .
A. through touch with society
B. gradually and under guidance
C. naturally and by biological instinct
D. through exposure to social information
2.In the author’s opinion, the phenomenon that today’s children seem adult like is caused by _____.
A. the widespread influence of television
B. the poor arrangement of teaching content
C. the fast step of human intellectual development
D. the constantly rising standard of living
3.Why is the author in favor of communication through print for children?
A. It enables children to gain more social information.
B. It develops children’s interest in reading and writing.
C. It helps children to memorize and practise more.
D. It can control what children are to learn.
4.What does the author think of the change in today’s children?
A. He feels amused by the children’s adultlike behavior.
B. He thinks it is a phenomenon worthy of note.
C. He considers it a positive development.
D. He seems to be upset about it.
