14．FIFTEEN YEAR-OLD  Liu Xuyang said he has more than 30 pairs of shoes．But some are old．He doesn't want them any more．
Where should these old shoes go？To the garbage or to be recycled？
This is bow Liu began to care about old shoes．He shared his thoughts with his classmates at Beijing No.35 Middle School，Luo Hao and Yang Mengwei．The three then decided to do some research．They found out that old shoes can pollute the environment if not recycled properly．Earlier this month，their research paper won second prize in the Beijing Youth Science and Invention Competition．
The three first spent two weeks designing a questionnaire on how people deal with old shoes and how the shoes are treated．They gave over 100 questionnaires to the public，to shoemakers，garbage stations and recycling stations．
Doing the survey，they found that on average（平均），a family throws away 5.17 pairs of shoes each year．That means millions of old shoes are thrown away a year around the country．
However，most old shoes are not treated properly，according to the students．
"Usually．the old shoes are just burnt or buried（填埋）with other garbage，"said Luo．
Most of the shoes are made of chemical materials．If they are burnt or buried，they can give off gas（氣）or other things that pollute the air and rivers，said the students．
They suggest there should be big boxes in cities for people to put old shoes in．The shoes could then be taken to recycling stations to be treated．
On the other hand，the shoemakers，said the students，could use more environment-friendly material to make shoes．

13．If you take away many sentences from somebody's written work as your own without permission，it's called plagiarism（剽竊），but if you take the knowledge from a piece of work by another and change the words，then it's not plagiarism．This is the difference between using the Internet and plagiarism．If you are given homework to work out math problems，then you should use your brain（大腦）without a computer!If the teacher asks you to learn something about a famous literary person，you can use the computer，If you take down the main important  information of the task，it's OK．However，if you run to the computer to do your thinking for you all the time，you don't exercise your brain and you will forget how to work out a problem．By using a computer，students may get a useful answer fast，to finish homework，but when they have to face an exam，they will not be ready for it．
  Though teachers say finding or buying homework answers online is not many in schools，an  interview with school students shows only 10% hopes to finish their holiday homework by themselves．They complain that the homework is too much for them to finish．Besides，many of students have to go to all kinds of training classes during the holiday．These take away much of their time for doing homework．So they want to find or even buy answers online or copy each other's homework．Students should learn that being a student is about getting skills，but not just getting quick，cheap"answers"for homework problems．I mean we should use the computer properly．

D．Using it when there's too much homework to finish．

12．Most people want to be happy，but few know how to find happiness．Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness．Aristotle，a Greek thinker，said，"Happiness depends upon ourselves．"In other words，we make our own happiness．Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier．
The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life．Too often，we spend so much time thinking about the future-for example，getting into college or getting a good job-that we fail to enjoy the present．You should enjoy life's simple pleasures，such as reading a good book，listening to your favorite music，or spending time with close friends．People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives．
Another secret to living a happy life is to be active，and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time．Many people experience this dancing，or playing a sport，such as swimming．You can forget about your problems，and only think about the activity．
Finally，many people find happiness in helping others．Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others．If you want to feel happier，do good things for someone．You can help a friend with his or her studies，go shopping to buy food for an elderly person，or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes．

E．You need to sit down and really talk to your mother about this．Don't get angry．Use calm（平靜的），clear words to explaia Tell them that you are old enough to have more privacy（隱私）．

10．Now and then we all get ill．Then we usually go to see a doctor．Doctors know a lot about what makes us ill．They may give us something to take．The medicine often makes us well again．
But sometimes the doctor's medicine doesn't work．A sick person doesn't get well The pain will not go away．This happened to a man named David．He was in hospital，but he was not getting well Then he found a new"doctor"inside himself．This"doctor"was his own sense of humor（幽默）．He saw funny films．He read funny books．And something wonderful happened．Laughing took away his pain Then he was able to sleep and rest．His own happy feeling helped him to feel well again．He said laughing was his best"medicine"．His doctor thought so．too．
Another man，Steve，was ill，and he had a terrible pain in his back．The doctors could not stop it from hurting．So the man began to"picture"his pain．In his head he"drew"a picture of a dog．He imagined it as a real dog．And he made friends with the dog．And his pain went away!
These stories may surprise you．But more and more people are getting well in this way．So visit the"doctor"inside your own head and you can stay happy and well．

5．Confidence is very important in daily life．It can help you to develop a healthy attitude（態(tài)度）．A study shows that the people who are more confident are much happier．They can have more chance to make themselves successful．But how to be more confident？Here are some，suggestions：
Speak loud．When you are not confident，you can't do well what you want to do．You speak in a voice so low that other people can hardly hear you．Try to speak loud enough so that people can hear you clearly．The high voice can help you become more confident．
Play sports．Physical exercise makes you tired but completely relaxed．（83）A strong body helps you be full of confidence．
Encourage yourself．Write down a list of things you did during the day to see how many things you have done well．Did you finish your homework？Did you tell a joke that made everybody laugh？Give yourself praise for the good things you've done．
Get rid of（消除）fear．Fear comes along with failure（失敗）．But it's easy to overcome（克服）if you know that failure is part of your life．Don't hide your head just because you said something stupid last time．Try to start again and believe you can do better．
Pick up a hobby．If you like singing，sing as much as you can．（84）In some ways，a hobby can make you outstanding．And it will make you happy and confident．
