Teens have a busy morning schedule as they need to wake up and get moving very early in order to catch a bus and get to school by the required time.This means teens need to get their rest the night before or they will be too tired to learn anything at school.1.
When a teen falls asleep in class,two things happen: he/she misses what is being taught and he/she loses the respect for the teacher.He/She may also receive a consequence from the school,depending on the classroom discipline policy.2.
To prevent your teen from being sleepy in class,try these three tips:
*Set a time for "lights out" on school nights.This is never be any later than 10 p.m. and preferably 9 p.m.3. Soft music can be on and used to help calm your teen.
*Help your teen develop a night-time routine that involves activities that slow them down for the end of the day. 4.Turning off the computer and disconnecting from friends and the excitement of the day an hour before bedtime will also help your teen relax.
*5.This will reinforce（增强）what it feels like to be rested and capable of accomplishing what he/she wants.
A.Taking a bath and reading are two activities that work well.
B.What's worse,they may even fall asleep in class.
C.All of these things affect your teen's academic success and can be avoided.
D."Lights out" means the computer,television,lights and cell phone should be off.
E.While your teen keeps his/her goals in line with your expectations,he/she may have his/her own goals.
F.Set a good example and show him/her your love for learning.
G.Point out the positives after your teen has had a good night's rest.
Did you know that something as simple as the wallpaper on your computer can tell people a lot about you? According to researcher Donna Dawson,our computers say something about what we're like because they are part of our “personal space.”
A picture of a child or family on the screen often means the person cares deeply about their loved ones.A photo of the person surrounded by friends shows they value their popularity and probably work well with other people.On the other hand,pictures showing examples of past successes,like winning a prize may mean a person is only interested in themselves.
Pictures of nature and natural scenery tell people that you are driven to succeed and use the pictures to relax and remove the pressure（压力）in your life.Cityscapes,pictures of cities or towns,show that you enjoy travel and adventure.Most people with cityscapes as their wallpaper are optimistic（乐观的）,happy people who feel even better thinking about the places they’ve visited or want to visit.
Pictures of animals show that you are optimistic and kind-hearted.You are often happy and you enjoy life and act young.Cartoons（漫画）or drawings show that you are a multitasker,someone who does many things at once.You have many responsibilities,but you deal with them well.That's one reason you like having something to smile about when you look at your computer wallpaper.
Then,what does plain blue wallpaper tell us about a person?According to Dawson,a person with plain blue wallpaper probably values their privacy and keeps work from becoming too personal,
1.A prize photo as wallpaper suggests someone_______.
A. has a strong wish to succeed B. is confident about himself or herself

The Scar of Love
Some years ago on a hot summer day in south Florida a little boy decided to go for a swim in the old swimming hole behind his house.In a hurry to dive into the cool water,he ran out of the back door,leaving behind shoes,socks and shirt as he went.He flew into the water,not realizing that as he swam toward the middle or the lake,an alligator（短嘴鳄）was getting close.The mother in the house was looking out of the window and saw the two as they got closer and closer together.In great fear,she ran toward the water,yelling to her son as loudly as she could.Hearing her voice,the little boy became alarmed and made a U—turn to swim to his mother.It was too late.Just as he reached her, the alligator reached him.From the dock,the mother grabbed her little boy by the arms just as the alligator snatched（抓住）his legs.That began an unbelievable tug-of-war（拔河比赛）between the two.The alligator was much stronger than the mother,but the mother was much too passionate to let go.A farmer happened to drive by,heard their screams;rushed from his truck,took aim and shot the alligator.
Remarkably,after weeks and weeks in the hospital,the little boy survived.His legs were extremely scarred by the terrible attack of the animal.And on his arms,were deep scratches where his mother's fingernails dug into his flesh in her effort to hang on to the son she loved.
The newspaper reporter,who interviewed the boy after the trauma（外伤）,asked if he would show him his scars. The boy lifted the pant legs.And then,with obvious pride,he said to the reporter,"Look at my arms.I have great scars on my arms,too.I have them because my mum wouldn't let go."
You and I can identify with（认同）that little boy.We have scars,too.Not from an alligator,but the scars of a painful past.Some of those scars are unsightly and have caused us deep regret.But,some wounds,my friends,are because we have refused to let go.

A. The mother was unwilling to let the alligator go
B. The mother was actually stronger than the alligator
