On your first day, most teacher start the school year by introducing themselves and talking about all the things you'll do that year. Maybe you'll have a chance to tell something about yourselves to the others of the class. The most important thing for you is to learn new rules and follow them. After all, rules can make the school life better. Besides, the most exciting thing for you is to meet more new friends in a new place. The first day of school doesn't sound bad, but there is still some advice for you make you a better person, such as developing good learning habits, making a good plan and taking your schoolwork seriously. The last but not the least is to have fun in your new school.

     3 Keep a diary: You can write down all that you want to say. That's a great way to think about and remember life. You can do it on paper or on computers.

     4 Enjoy a big meal: It's not a good idea for a kid to lose weight, so you don't need to eat less food. When you feel upset, enjoy a big meal. Eating delicious food will make you feel good.

     5 Join in activities: Having a get-together(聚会) is great fun. Going out with friends for a trip will make you happy. And it will also bring you a good sleep.

      In a town in France, there was a farmer who lived alone. Every day he  s       a pound of butter to his neighbor, who was a baker. One day the baker decided to weigh the butter to see  i       he was getting a pound. After he weighed it, he found that he wasn't. The baker then took the farmer to the judge (法官).

      The judge wanted to know the farmer's ways to weigh the butter. The farmer replied, “ I'm so p       that I do not have enough money to buy anything to weigh it.  H      , I do have a kind of scale (天平).” The judge asked, “Then   h       do you weigh the butter?” The farmer replied, “Before the baker started buying butter from me, I had bought bread from him. So now every time when I   b       home the bread from the baker, I put it on the scale and give him the butter of the same   w      .”

       We always get back what we give to others. Whenever you take action, ask yourself this question, “Am I honest?”

       Honesty or dishonesty can become a habit. Some dishonest people can lie   w       a red face. Others lie so  m        that they do not even know what the truth is any more. But who is it bad for? In fact, those who lie will hurt  t       by their own dishonest behavior.
