10.Today most students can go to high school for further__________ (educate)in our country．
There’s always something deep in our soul that never dies. I moved to the small， busy town of Edison in New Jersey six years ago. It was during the second term of my fifth grade. My parents got new jobs and higher income， so they decided it was time to move from Woodbridge to a better， more educational town.
In the US， it is unnecessary to take a test to get into a “good” middle or high school. You just attend the school close to where you live. So， many parents will think about the quality (质量，品质) of the local school when they decide to buy a new house. My parents did the same. We finally chose Edison mainly because of the high quality of its school.
In New Jersey， an area with a good school usually means a concentration of Asian people. There are about 300 students in our school. 55% are Asians and just under half of that are Chinese. There are so many Chinese people nearby that we even have our own Chinese school.
Edison is an old town， just like thousands of others in the United States. However， I have treated it as my hometown. That’s where I spend much of my youth， and the memories there can’t be moved at all.

Many students ask for advice about improving their English. There are three basic questions.
The first question is about real English. Li Hao from Hubei wrote， “I enjoy watching English films and listening to real English songs. But it takes a long time. What do you think?”
This is a great way to learn English! Talk about the film or song with your friends， and guess the meaning of the new words. Just enjoy yourself!
The second question is about speaking. Sam， from Suzhou wrote， “Our school has a foreign teacher. But I’m shy and can’t speak to her. What should I do?”
When I visit China， lots of people in the street say， “Hello! How are you? Where are you from? Do you like China?” These are good questions to start a conversation. Many people are shy when they speak English， so before you begin， take a deep breath and smile! Smiling always helps.
The third question is about vocabulary. Olive， from Anhui wrote， “I want to remember all the new words. I wrote them down， but I forget them quickly. What should I do?”
Try to remember eight or nine words a day. Write them on pieces of paper and place them in your bedroom. Say the words when you see them， and change them every day. And when you’re shopping， how about counting the English words， or saying the English names for everything you see?
1.How many basic questions do the students often ask?

In choosing a friend， one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair weather friends. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck， but when you are down， they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain qualities of character， especially understanding， honesty and reliability(可靠).
Above all else， I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead， he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person’s place， and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener.
At the same time， however， a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults(过错) in others. He notices their good points. In short， a friend will try to understand me and accept me.
Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time， I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favour， he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble， he will not run away from me.
There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We would enjoy our lives， and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I like. We share experience and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humour(幽默)， too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.
When I meet someone who is reliable， honest， and understanding， I know I’ve found a friend!
