Dear Donna,

Help! I'm a 15-year-old middle school student in New York. In eight months, I'm going to take an entrance exam. To prepare for it, I'm studying six hours a day. I want to do well, but I'm really stressed (焦虑不安的) these days. I can't sleep. What can I do?

Yours,

Mary

Dear Mary,

Many students around the world have the same problems as you. Here is some advice to help you deal with the stress. Good luck!

1 Make a study plan for yourself, but don't study too much in one day. You remember more by studying one hour each day for six days than six hours in one day. Also, don't study late at night.

2 Have a rest for 15 to 20 minutes every two hours. Go outside and walk. Doing exercise is a great way to reduce stress.

3 Don't eat for drink a lot of sugar or drink a lot of coffee. Eat food high in vitamin (维生素) B (for example, eggs, milk, green vegetable and rice). These give you energy and help you think more clearly.

4 A student partner can help you practice for the test. When you're worried about the exam, you can talk to your partner. This can reduce stress, too.

Yours,

Donna

Mrs. Thompson loved every one of her pupils but a little boy named Teddy Stoddard. She noticed that the boy didn't play well with the other children.

Once Mrs. Thompson read Teddy's past records. His first grade teacher wrote. "Teddy is a bright child." His second grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is troubled because his mother is still excellent." His third grade teacher wrote, "His mother's death has been hard on him. We are worrying about him." Teddy's fourth grade teacher wrote, "Teddy doesn't have many friends and sometimes sleeps in class."

By now, Mrs. Thompson realized the problem and she was ashamed(羞愧) of herself. She decided to help the boy.

Christmas Day was coming. Her students all brought her nice presents packed in beautiful paper, except for Teddy's. Mrs. Thompson opened Teddy's present among them. Children started to laugh when they saw Teddy's: It Was an old bracelet (手镯) with little stones and a bottle that was one-quarter full of perfume(香水). But Mrs Thompson put on the bracelet and dabbed (轻搽) some of the perfume on the other wrist. She said how nice the present was.

"Mrs. Thompson, today you smelled just like my mother used to." Toddy said.

Last Sunday evening, my parents went out for a walk with my sister. But I studied alone at home because I would have an English test. All of a sudden, I saw bright light in my neighbor's kitchen. I thought he was cooking so I went on studying.

Soon, there was a terrible smell in the air and I thought something was wrong. I went out and saw fire coming out of my neighbor's kitchen. So I shouted "Fire! Fire!" But no one heard or came out.

I ran quickly into my house to call 119, and then I rang my neighbor's doorbell, knocked at the door, but there was no response. I got into the house through the window and found my neighbor sleeping in his bedroom. I woke him up and we rushed out of the house together.

We tried our best to pour water through the kitchen window, but the fire was too heavy. Luckily, the firemen came and put out the fire quickly. When my parents came back, they found I was dirty and tired. After my neighbor told them the whole story, they were happy and said I was a brave boy.

Here are some fun ways to celebrate your birthday.

Explore (探索) a new place

Generally, people celebrate birthdays at home or at a reserved (预订的) place. So, I think you should do something different this time. You can just find a few random (随机的) places around your city to visit and explore.

Celebrate with nature

If you want to do something unique (独特) that you haven't ever done before, then go for this one. Find a place that is close to nature, like a valley (山谷), riverside, mountains, desert, etc.

In my opinion, you can have a nice camp in this kind of places and celebrate your birthday in the most amazing way. This will be the best birthday present of your life.

Get yourself something new

When was the last time you bought yourself something new? If it has been many days, then this is the best time you can get yourself something new. For example, if you are planning to buy a car, then buy a car. By doing this you will make your birthday memorable.

I still remember when I became 18 my dad gave me a car on my birthday. I still remember that day not because I was 18 but because that day my dad gave me a car. So if no one gives you something unforgettable, then go ahead and get yourself a gift.
