Do you get angry when your friends sing loudly while you are working, or when your best friend does not wait for you after school?

If you do, you need to take control of (控制）your feelings and stop getting angry so easily. Getting angry with people can make you lose friends.

Gary Egeberg, an American high school teacher, has written My Feelings Are Just Like Wild Animals to help you control your feelings. It tells teens how to stay cool when bad things happen to them. The book says that getting angry only makes problems worse. It can never make them better. Getting angry is not a natured (本性的 )way to act. It is just a bad habit, like smoking. The book says you can control your anger easily-all you have to do is to tell yourself not to be angry.

When a baby falls over, it only cries if people are watching it. Like a baby, you should only get angry if you are sure it is the right thing to do.

The book gives many tips to help you if you get angry easily. Here are the top three：

①Keep a record. Every time you get angry, write down why you are angry. Look at it later and you will see you get angry too easily.

②Ask your friends to stop talking to you when you get angry. This will teach you not to be angry.

③Do something different. When you get angry, walk away from the problem and go somewhere else. Try to laugh!

Dear Dongdong,

I have been in Hong Kong for a whole week and I will stay here for another week. Hong Kong is really a great place to visit. There is so much to see and do here. And I have done so many wonderful things.

I've taken the cable car（缆车） to The Peak Galleria(山顶广场). I've been to Hong Kong Racing Museum. I've learned a lot about horse racing there. I've also visited Ladies' Street. In the street, I bought some beautiful clothes for my mother. Last night, I went to a Chinese concert.

Chinese traditional music has always been my favourite. This morning I went to Hong Kong Ocean Park and watched the dolphin show there. Dolphins are so clever. They can jump from the water to touch a ball, sway(摇摆) their bodies to the music, kiss people and even do maths. Mr. Host is going to take me to an Italian film festival in Hong Kong Cultural Center tomorrow. I'm so excited because I have never seen an Italian film before.

That's all. Hope to hear from you soon.

Yours,

Daming

There are a lot of famous cartoon characters. We all remember them all the time. Here is some information about them.

Hi Lingling,

Thanks for your last message. It was great to hear from you, and I can't wait to meet you.

I hope you will know me from my photo when I arrive at the airport. . I'll wear jeans and a T-shirt for the journey, but I'll also carry my warm coat. . I'm sure we'll find each other!

Thanks for telling me about your hobbies. You sound just like me! I spend a lot of time playing classical music with my friends at school, but I also like dance music—I love dancing! . My brother is in the school tennis team. I'm very proud of him! He's good at everything, but I'm not. Sometimes I get bad marks at school, and I feel sad. I should work harder.

You asked me, "How do you feel about coming to China?" Well, I often feel a bit sad at first when, and I'm quite shy when I'm with strangers. I feel nervous when, but I'll be fine in a few days. I'm always sorry when I don't know how to do things in the right way, so please help me when I'm with you in China! Oh, I'm afraid of flying too. But I can't tell you how excited I am about going to China!

See you next week!

Love,

Sally

They are counting down the days.

In the universe, as we all know, there is the sun, the moon, the earth and a good many stars. Through our geography lessons, we know the earth goes around the sun, and the moon goes around the earth. We have day and night because the earth keeps turning all the time. When our part of the earth turns to the sun, it is day. When our part of the earth turns away from the sun, it is night.

Just because the moon is closer to the earth than the sun, it looks much bigger than the sun. Big things will look smaller when they are farther, and small things also look bigger when they are nearer.

The sun is big enough to give out very strong light. The moon can't give out any light at all, but it looks quite bright, too. Why? In fact, the light from the moon comes from the sun. The moon looks much bigger and brighter than the stars. But actually the stars are much bigger and brighter than the moon. They look smaller than the moon also because they are farther away from the earth. There are many other planets in the universe. But of all the planets, only on the earth are there living things and people can only live on the earth, too. But at 9:00 a. m. October 15th, 2003, the Chinese pilot Yang Liwei was sent up in to space. He stayed there for 21 hours. It was the first time for Chinese to get into space.

Many students have hobbies, such as reading, painting, growing vegetables and looking after animals. Some hobbies are relaxing and others are active. Hobbies can make you grow as a person, develop your interests and help you learn new skills.

David Smith is a student, and one of his hobbies is writing. During the summer of 2010, he spent four weeks at a summer camp. As well as the usual activities, such as sailing and climbing, there was a writing class. "The teacher was a writer, and she asked us to talk about our lives and tell interesting stories. Then she encouraged us to write about our experiences at the camp. "

Back at school, David wrote a story about the life of a sixteen-year-old boy and it came out as a book in 2012. Many young people love his book, and       , David has become a successful young writer.

David has been very lucky because his hobby has brought him pleasure and success. But writing is not his only hobby. He is also interested in many other things. " I like playing volleyball too, "says David, "I spend some of my free time playing volleyball for my school team. Maybe I'll write about my volleyball team in my future books. "

Scientists think that there has been life on the earth for hundreds of millions of years. However, we haven'tlife on any other planets yet.

The earth is a planet and itaround the sun. Seven other planets also go around the sun. None of them has an environment like that of the earth, so scientists do not they will find life on them. The sun and its planets are called the solar system, and our solar system is a small part of a much larger group of stars and planets,  the Galaxy or the Milky Way. There billions of stars in the Galaxy, and our sun is only one of them.

Scientists many other galaxies in the universe already. They are very far away and their light  to travel for many years to reach us. So how large is the universe? It is impossible to imagine.

Scientists have sent spaceships to the planet Mars to take photos. They have even sent spaceships to travel outside the solar system. However, no spaceship has travelled far enoughother stars in our Galaxy. Scientists have always asked the questions: With so many stars in the universe, are we alone or is there life in space? Have there been visitors to the earth from other planets? Why has no one with us? We the answers yet.

Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, to laugh, and to do things with. Surely, sometimes we need to be alone. We don't always want people around. But we will feel lonely if we never have a friend.

No two people are the same. Sometimes friends don't get along well. That doesn't mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will make up and become friends again.

Sometimes friends move away. Then we feel very sad.____▲___ But we can call them and write to them. It could be that we couldn't even see them again. And we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them.

There's good news for people who have friends. They live longer than people who don't. Why? The reason could be that they are happier. Being happy helps them stay well. Or the reason could be that they know that someone cares them. If someone cares about you, you would also take good care of yourself.
