Here are some of the most common reasons why kids hate school—and strategies（對策） to put them back on the road to success.

One fear that keeps children from enjoying school is separation    36    . It most frequently occurs during times of family stress or    37    a child is about to enter a new school.   38   , parents can feed a child’s anxieties by the way they    39  . With younger kids, watch how you say    40    those first few days of school. A firm “Have a great day, and I’ll    41    you up at 2:30!” is more confidence-inspiring than “Don’t worry, I can be there in ten    42    if you need me.”

You can help your child    43    fearful situations—from speaking up in class to taking tests—by rehearsing（預(yù)演）at home. Teach your child to    44    thoughts such as “I’m going to give up” with “I can handle this.”

Without any    45   , some kids dislike school .This may be the    46    if your child is always alone, pretends    47    to avoid class outings or give away treasured possessions in an attempt to be    48   .

Often loneliness problems can be solved. A child may need to learn how to    49    others in the eye when he speaks, or how to talk    50    a whisper—or below a yell. You might teach a young child a few “friendship    51   ”, such as “My name’s Tom. What’s yours? Do you want to play games?”

“A lot of kids who are very lonely have never been told anything    52    about themselves,” says Miami    53   Matty Rodriguez-Walling. “If a lonely kid is   54    some area—computers, for example—I’ll often have other students work with him. That does    55   for self-respect and helps the lonely child make friends.”

It's hardly surprising that weather is a favourite topic for so many people around the world -- it affects where we choose to five, what we wear, our moods, and perhaps even our national characteristics. Studies have shown that changeable weather can make it difficult to concentrate, cloudy skies slow down reaction, and high humidity with hot, dry winds makes many people bad-tempered.

If you live in a place like Britain, where the weather seems to change daily if not hourly, you could be forgiven for thinking that the weather is random (任意的，隨機的). In fact the weather is controlled by systems which move around areas of the globe. In the UK the weather depends on depressions, often called lows, and anticyclones, also known as highs. These systems staff in the Atlantic Ocean, and make their way across the British Isles from the west to the east.

Highs bring sunny weather, while lows bring rain and wind. In modern times, human activities seem to be changing weather patterns. Gases produced by heavy industry, change the temperature of the Earth's surface, and affect cloud formation. Some researchers say that factories in Europe and North America may have been one of the causes of the droughts in Africa in the 1980s.

The human race has always tried to guess the weather, especially in areas of the world where there are frequent changes. Traditional rhymes point to early attempts to identify weather patterns, popular poems include:

Red sky at night, shepherds' delight; Red sky in the morning, shepherds' warning.

Flies will Swarm before a storm,

Rain before 7, clear by 11.

While folk wisdom can still provide a guide to help forecast weather, today's methods of prediction increasingly rely on technology. Satellites, balloons, ships, aircrafts and weather centres with sensitive monitoring equipment, send data to computers. The data is then processed, and the weather is predicted.   However, even this system cannot predict weather for longer than about a week.

64. When weather keeps changing, ________.

A. people become bad - tempered                  B. people's reaction slows down

B. people find it hard to focus on their work          D. people become hungrier

65. The weather in Britain is ________.

A. random           B. moist (濕潤的)            C. depressing            D. satisfying

66. According to a traditional rhyme, if there is a red sky at night, the next day will be __________.

A. windy                      B. rainy               C. fine                  D. snowy

67. Which of the following statements is tree?

A. Anticyclones often bring rain and wind.

B. Weather forecasting has been done for a long time.

C. Weather could never be predicted.

D. Modem methods of weather prediction are developed from folk wisdom.

When Han Duan started her professional career at 16, China’s national women’s football team was defeated in the final of the World Cup by the US. While she was asked to play in her first World Cup in 2003, she largely remained on the bench after the first match.

    But things have changed. Now, Han is one of the most important players in China’s team. “I can’t wait to play. Life is short. You must make the most out of it,” Han always says like that. 

    Han wants every possible honor that a football player can get — an Asian Cup, a World Cup and an Olympic medal. She has always been good at sports, especially swimming and horizontal bars. At school, she was the fastest in the 60m and 100m.

    But the reason she picked football was that she wanted to get more compliments (稱贊). “Football is for boys. But I feel more fulfilled when I can do better than them and win more compliments,” she said. Later, when she entered a football school, the coach always asked Han to show others what to do.

    However, nobody can be good at everything. Han described her singing as “howling” and the only school subject she was good at was Chinese. “I was very happy every time my essay was posted on the wall for my schoolmates to read.” But Han still has some regrets about her school years. Her handwriting was terrible at school. She ever wanted to improve her handwriting but didn’t achieve much.

    “My fans ask for my signature (簽名), so I’d better practice and practice. It’s not too late,” she says.
