Sharon, Aged 22The most important thing to keep in mind when going into high school is to be yourself. Besides, I don‟t know what your middle school w as like, but high school teachers will not care about things such as how much homework you already have in one night. It‟s best to just learn to deal with things and manage your time wisely so you can achieve everything you need to.Frank, Aged 21I think almost every kid feels both nervous and excited before heir first day. You will probably love it. I know I did. You should join some sports or activities that will make your high school experience more enjoyable. Good luck!Eddie, Aged 20When I started high school I was really nervous too, especially since I had been homeschooled all through middle school and didn‟t really know anyone. I suppose the best advice would be to just relax. The first couple of days can be a little bit hard, but things will become easier before you know it.David, Aged 19I‟m not going to lie. The first day is kind of frightening (令人恐惧的). But you‟ll get used to it. Don‟t be afraid of anyone; upperclassmen will pick on you more if you let them know you‟re afraid. Just take it easy. Making some friends and staying with them will greatly help you get used to high school quickly. After the first week it‟s really not bad at all. Don‟t worry.21.

Before long, Max‟s room magically becomes a forest, and he walks to a landwhere monsters (怪物) live. Max isn‟t scared, though, and becomes t he king of the wild things, but after a while, he wants to go home. When Max walks back home, his supper is still hot in his bedroom.Many teachers and professors like this story and use it to help children develop their imaginations. Melina Davis, a professor of education, said she likes how the book contains (包含) a couple of pages that have only pictures on them. “This allows children to shape the story themselves,” she said.The book contains a few larger words. Some parents worry it may confuse (使迷惑) children, but experts (专家) say those words help improve chi ldren‟s reading skills. Davis said the book is well written which helps kids become interested in the story. “The book talks about what all children go through, like …I was naughty (淘气的) but my mommy still loves me‟,” said Davis.The book also encourages children to face their fears. “I think it‟s really good to show that Max is friends with the monsters,”said Davis. “Kids can find out monsters aren‟t always the things under the bed that are going to scare them. I think this is good because it shows children that they call go to scary places but still have a positive experience.”28.

People there spend lots of time in traffic jams (阻塞).Now imagine that every Sunday, main roads in the city were closed to cars and people were invited to wander (闲逛) around the streets. It may sound impossible. But a small group of activists called CicLAvia wants to make this car-free day come true.“Air Pollution is terrible and more and more children are becoming overweight,” said Jonathan Parfrey, a member of CicLAvia. “But building new parks for people to get out of their cars and exercise can be much too expensive. So we want to create public space by using our roads.”This idea isn‟t new. It got its start in the Colombian City of Bogotá 30 years ago. Bogotá is a city with heavy traffic and air pollution. Every Sunday main streets are shut down to cars in Bogotá. CicLAvia wants to follow that success in Los Angeles. Although it may seem like a great challenge in such a city, the members of CicLAvia feel hopeful about it. They are taking steps to make it happen. And a charity group has agreed to provide $20,000 to help this event. And the event may happen this year.32.
