It’s school time again! You may be feeling excited and a little sad because winter vacation is over. Some kids may feel nervous on the first day. Let’s find out more about going back to school.

Most teachers start the school year by talking about all the things you will be doing that year. Some teachers may give you a chance to tell something about your vacation to the class. When teachers do the talking on the first day, they often go over classroom rules again so you’ll know what’s allowed(允许)and what’s not.

When you see friends you haven’t seen for a long time, you will feel good and happy. Also, if you prepare for the first day and have all the things you need, you will feel fine. You should make sure you put all the things into your bag the night before. This can stop you from worrying in the morning when you can’t find your homework or other things.

Here are a few tips for a good first day:

  ☆Get enough sleep.

☆Eat a healthy breakfast.

☆Develop good work habits, like writing down your homework and turning in homework on time.

☆Take your time with school work. If you don’t understand something, ask the teacher.

任务型阅读;阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，按要求完成下列各题。

In my class, there was a little old lady. One day, I asked her, “Why are you in college at such an age?” “I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!” She told me.

  We became friends quickly. (1)At the end of the term, I invited her to speak at our football party. And I would never forget what she told us. She said, “I’m sorry I’m so nervous.” Then she went on, “We don’t stop playing because we are old. We grow old because we stop playing. There are secrets(秘密)of staying young. You have to be happy and then achieve(实现) success. You have to laugh and find fun each day. (2)You have to have a dream. When you lose your dream, you die. We have so many people walking around. They are dead and they don’t even know it! There is a big difference between growing older and growing up.” Growing up means always finding chances when things change. Have no regrets(遗憾 ). The old usually don’t have regrets for what they did, but for things they did not do. The only people who are afraid of death are those with regrets.”

  (3)At the end of the year, she finished her college. One week after graduation, she died in her sleep. We would always remember the great woman. She taught us that it’s never too late to be all you can possibly be.
