[2] My life improved greatly when I discovered art． The art world gave me a chance to express myself without words． I went to a workshop and gradually became good at making things with clay． Here I learned my first important lesson： disabled as I was in language， I could still be smart and well express myself with clay． And my confidence（自信）came along．
[3]I got my next lesson from rock climbing． It was a fun thing but I was scared from the start． （3）I soon noticed it wasn't a talent thing：it needed lots of practice． So I did it more． After about five years of climbing， I found myself in Yosemite Valley on a big wall． I learned that if you fall in love with something and do it all the time， you will get better at it．
[4] Later I decided to learn（4）① to read and write． I practiced reading and （4）② ， which l used to avoid as much as possible． After two years， I was literate（有文化的）．

Be active about school! Don't say things are difficult or boring． Be interested in school﹣life and your school subjects． Join in lots of activities． Be quick to put your hand up． Go round the school with a big smile．
Expect to work． School is not a holiday camp． If you are not working， you are not learning， and you are wasting your time at school． Teachers cannot make everything enjoyable．
（2）______ Do not say you will do things tomorrow． Tomorrow， you have other things to do． If you get behind the class， it is very difficult to get back in front．
Talk about problems﹣sometimes they are only the result of misunderstanding． Don't be too embarrassed to turn to others．You are young． No one thinks you can do everything!
Plan your time． Don't waste life lying in bed on Saturday morning． Go and play a sport， learn the piano， work on a project， read a book， practice English， or help someone with problems． There are always a lot of things to do．

"I've always had a pretty clear idea of what I want to do．" says Mary， a middle school student who wants to become a director some day． You may not be as sure of your career （职业） as Mary． But you can start thinking about and planning for your future career．
The following article helps middle school students plan for careers．
Explore （探索） your interests
Many middle school students don't yet know what they want to do． But in fact， students may change their minds several times， perhaps even after they enter society． And some of tomorrow's careers might not exist （存在） today． Focusing on just one job in middle school isn't necessary． But looking into the kinds of careers you might like can help you succeed．
①
Understanding what you enjoy and what you're good at is the most important step in exploring careers． If you don't know what you want to do， you should ask yourself what you like to learn about． If you really like science， what do you enjoy about it ﹣ the lab work or the research？ It's important to think about what you like to do，because work will finally be a big part of your life．
Discover possible careers
Once you've thought about the subjects and activities you like best， the next step is to look for careers that put those interests to use． If you love sports， for example， you might consider a career as a P．E． teacher or a soccer coach． If you like English， a career as an English teacher， a translator or a travelling guide might be a good choice．
②
After discovering possible jobs， you'll want to learn more about them． Talking directly to workers on the phone， by email， or through online discussion can help you get information about what they do． Even meeting with them in person is helpful． First﹣hand information is necessary for you to find out if you'll really like a career．

Have you ever counted the number of digits （数字）in your mobile phone number？ Your number has 11 digits． You may sometimes find it hard to remember your number． That's because China has the longest mobile phone numbers in the world． Why is that？
The 11 digits can be divided into three parts． Each part has a different meaning． The first three numbers tell you which mobile phone service provider（提供者） you are using． For example， 135 is for China Mobile Communications Corporation and 188 is for China Unicom． The fourth to the seventh digits tell you where the number is registered （注册）． And the last four digits are random（随机的）．
The main reason for using 11 digits is that we have the largest population in the world． We once had 10numbers． But as our population grew， there were not enough numbers for us to use． So we began to use 11 digits starting from 1999． Eleven digits can be used to make tens of billions of mobile phone numbers． That's enough for each person to have seven or eight phone numbers to use in China．
And mobile phone numbers can be recycled． Usually， the service provider will reuse a canceled number after three to six months． If you call a number that you haven't contacted （联系）for a long time， you may find that its owner has changed．
Besides China， Britain and Japan also use 11﹣digit mobile phone numbers． But their numbers always start with 0． So they cannot create as many numbers as we can． Countries like the United States， Australia and India use phone numbers with 10digits． Canada's mobile phone numbers are perhaps the shortest in the world： they use seven digits．
（1）Is China the only country that uses 11﹣digit mobile phone numbers in the world？
（2）What can we know from the fourth to the seventh digits of a mobile phone number in China？
（3）Why does China use 1l digits for mobile phone numbers？
（4）When can a mobile phone number be recycled in China？
（5）Which country perhaps has the shortest mobile phone numbers in the world？

Last month some parents visited a pizza restaurant in Florida with their children． On the door， they saw a sign "NO CHLDREN．" "Why can't we bring our children？" "What on earth does the owner want to do？" The parents were surprised and complained angrily．
So why did the restaurant put up the sign on its door？
Troy Taylor， the owner of the pizza restaurant， found that many parents couldn't control their children and many children couldn't have meals quietly， so they disturbed other customers． Some people said that this was unfair． Mr． Taylor explained his decision． He said that the restaurant was near a busy road， so there might be some danger if the parents didn't take good care of their children． So he made up his mind to ban（禁止） children from his restaurant．
Others supported his decision， they said they were bored of noisy children in restaurants and now they could finally have a place for adults only．
（3）In fact，many other restaurants have also met the same problem． Some have done nothing and others have tried to ban children during certain times of the day． There's one restaurant in Italy． It has been creative in dealing with the problem． They rewarded（奖励）well﹣behaved children to encourage parents to control their children．
（4）These methods may be useful for a while，but it is difficult to solve this problem completely．
