Do you know how to deal with failure at school? Four steps will help you get the most out of each failure and more on.

1 When you feel bad after failing, talk with your parents or good friends, or any other adult. Then decide to take the duty to improve yourself. Read the teachers’comments on your test carefully.

Ask yourself what you were trying to do and why you failed. 2 Maybe you didn’t have all the information you needed; maybe you made a mistake or a poor decision. If so, give yourself a pat on the back. Fewer people ever get something right the first time they try it, and often it takes them many times. 3 Sometimes the failure isn’t because of something you did or didn’t do; it is someone else’s fault. But don’t spend time blaming them; instead, move on toward your goals.

4 . Review the situation to see what your choices are. There is a different between making a decision and giving up. Deciding to follow a better way is one thing; simply walking away means you really have failed.

Keep trying again. Successful people are different because they choose their next steps instead of just reacting to feelings. If a goal still important to you, figure out what to do and go after it again. 5 .

A. No pains, no gains.

B. Don’t give up easily

C. Failure is unavoidable

D. Remove your bad feelings

E. If it isn’t, do your best on something else

F. Actually it was because you were very lazy

G. Usually it was because you were trying out a new skill or learning a new subject.

Does meeting new people make you nervous? If so, you are not alone. But making a good first impression isn’t as hard as you might think. It just involves a few simple choices.

Look your best

1 But you don’t need to look like a model to make a good impression. You just need to take care of yourself. Make sure your clothing is clean, not wrinkled and appropriate for the situation

2 .

Stand tall

The way you stand, sit and move tells others a lot about you. Standing up straight makes you look and feel confident. When you approach someone, make eye contact and smile to show you’re friendly and interested. 3

Speak up

Speak loudly and clearly enough so that people don’t have to struggle to hear you. If you don’t know what to say, ask questions. 4 When people are talking, pay attention to what they’re saying rather than planning what you’ll say next. And if

you’re not sure what they mean, ask!

Value people

Most importantly, show people you care. Your concerns for them will be obvious if you smile and listen carefully.

5 Don’t keep them waiting. Everyone you meet is important. So make eye contact, smile and greet them. They’ll appreciate it and others may be watching.

A. And remember, you are important, too

B. Respect other people’s time, too

C. Most people enjoy talking about themselves

How to Be a Great Best Friend

Everyone wants to be a great best friend but doesn't know how or where to start that perfect friendship. The following will help you.

Be your own best friend first.1 If you can't respect yourself, then you can't respect others. Understand what values are important to you and stick to them.

Seek out others who honor those values because you'll only end up hurting yourself and possibly others if those people don't have the same values as you. Trust each other.2 All you have to do really is make sure you can both trust each other. Don’t try to trick or use your friend to your advantage; you need to make them know they can trust you.

Learn to listen. Nobody likes a best friend who just talks and talks, but never listens. If you're a chatterbox, try to develop good listening skills. Whenever your best friend says something, listen carefully and say something._3 If they ask for advice, listen carefully and give them the best advice you can.

Care for your best friend. If your best friend is upset, ask them what's wrong, They might not tell you straight away, but they should in the end.4 Understand that certain things are private, and trust that they'd be just as patient with you if you were in their shoes.

Let your friend have other friends, too. If your best friend picks another friend over you, try to be friends with their friend too.5 Everyone is always looking for new friends. But never leave the old one; your loyalty is what the other person expects and counts on every day.

A. Learn how to respect yourself.

B. Maybe you guys can be a group of friends!

C. Don't interrupt while they're talking to you.

F. To be a great best friend really doesn't take much.

G. Take time out of your day to appreciate the funny things in life.

As we all know, it is very difficult to remember all the contents of a long passage. For that reason, it is wise to make notes of information that is necessary for the students when they read a passage. The result is a short of the passage, and it contains all aspects of the passage. 1 I ask the students to follow these steps.

●Familiarize with(通晓)the material. After students have read the passage or a section of it, they can start summarizing. 2

●Select important information. I ask the students to go through each paragraph, sentence by sentence, asking themselves which information is necessary to the argument. They should point out complete sentences as much as possible. 3 Pay attention to these important points: author, title, reason why the passage was written, purpose, theme, key words, link words, all major aspects, explanations and author’s opinion.

●Paraphrase(释义)the information. I ask the students to point out the information of the previous step in their own words. 4 They should try to shorten long and complex sentences into much shorter ones.

● 5 Let students make sure that the connection between sentences is clear and reasonable and that each group of sentences smoothly fit in one paragraph.

A. Adjust the length of the summary

B. Insert links(连接词)between sentences and paragraphs.

C. A choice is to underline important sentences or phrases.

D. In this way students can grasp the main ideas of the passage.

E. But we know reading is a practice of long period and we must have a lot of practice

F. The length of the section read through depends on the structure and the complexity(复杂)of the passage.

G. And writing down information in their own words forces them to completely understand what they are writing down.

（六）

Remembering names is an important social skill.1

●Recite and repeat in conversation.

When you hear a person’s name, repeat it. Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips. You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.

●Ask the other person to recite and repeat.

You can let other people help you remember their names. After you’ve been introduced to someone, ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you. 2

●Admit you don’t know

Admitting that you can’t remember someone’s name can actually make people relaxed. Most of them will feel sympathy if you say. “I’m working to remember names better. 3 What is it again?”

●Use associations

Link each person yon meet with one thing out find interesting or unusual. For example, you could make a mental note: “Vicki Cheng---tall, black hair.”To reinforce you’re your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.

●4

When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.

●Go early

Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time.5 And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others---an automatic review for you.

A. Remember a name at a time.

B. Here are some ways to master it.

C. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue.

D. That’s fewer names for you to remember.
