AMany teenagers find it hard to make friends. It is NOT！Here are some ways for them.Make the first move. Don't be shy, because it won't help you in anything.

I've also tried a lot of other new things here,” said the 17-year-old student.Yamaguchi is one of the five foreign-exchange students attending Fort Atkinson High School. He is joined by Fredrik Afzulius of Sweden, Joeri Bakkers of The Netherlands, Enes Kelekci of Switzerland and Loren Kupka of Austria.Each student comes from different educational system with different expectations. “I like this school system better because it's much freer. The teachers are there for you--and not only for your grades. They really care about your progress,” explained Bakkers. “At home, the school is not as big, and we do not have many classrooms. You sit in the classroom, and the teachers change. But here it's a little different, and in the beginning, it was a little puzzling because l could not find my classroom,” Kupka recalled.The students explained some of the big differences between living here and in their homelands. “Only when you're here can you realize how big America is. TheNetherlands is about four times smaller than Wisconsin. It's crazy,” said Bakkers. Yamaguchi listed several other differences. “The most different things, I think, are the friendly people, the language and some customs,” he explained. “Our driver's seat is on the right side; In Japan, people drive on the right side. Here the driver's seat is on the opposite side.” Having put up with one of the coldest winters in recent memory, all the five students said they were looking forward to the spring. “I heard about Wisconsin getting very cold, but not that cold. It's pretty cold,”said Kelekci.In spite of a particularly cold winter, the students all agree that the experience is a positive one, and not just becoming fluent in a second language. “This is a fun thing to do,”Afzelius said about visiting Fort Atkinson. “We want to thank everyone for this experience,” added Kelekci.5.

It plays such an important role in our lives that all fieldsfocus on its study. Experts find that because of the way our brains process music, learning to play an instrument or just listening to music can have a wide range of benefits.(好处）Music education has received a lot of attention. Learning to play an instrument can help children improve math, science, and language skills. One study in Canada tracked children's IQ scores for nine months, discovering that children who studied music had the biggest test score improvements. The secret may lie in the way reading music and playing notes uses several areas of the brain, increasing our ability to learn school subjects. For example, reading notes improves spatial （空间的）reasoning skills, which are helpful in solving math problems like fractions（分数).Music is also used for medical purposes, such as the treatment of diseases which affect memory. The secret lies in the way the brain processes music. One area near the forehead, the medial prefrontal cortex, connects music with memories stored in two other areas: the amygdale and hippocampus. That's why an old song can remind you of something that happened years ago. For patients suffering from diseases like Alzheimer's, listening to music can help unlock buried memories by strengthening musical pathways to memories.With music's benefits, it's no wonder some countries make music study a part of their education systems. People are recognizing that more than just a form of entertainment, music is also great for the brain．9. According to the Canadian study, which children increased IQ scores?A. Those who already had high IQ scores.B. Those who always studied hard.C. Those who couldn't play any instrumentD. Those who studied music for a while10. Which of the following is a kind of disease?A.

Suddenly a crow(乌鸦) rested on their window.The father asked his son, “What is this?”The son replied “It is a crow.”After a few seconds the father asked his son the second time, “What is this?”The son said, “Father, I just now told you; it is a crow.”After a little while, the old man again asked his son the third time, “What is this?”At this time some expression of anger was felt in the son's tone when he said to his father, “It is a crow, a crow.”A little later, the father again asked his son the fourth time, “What is it?”This time the son shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again? I have told you so many times it is a crow. Are you not able to understand this?”A little later the father went to his room and came back with an old diary which he had kept since his son was born.
