You may not realize it，but you are doing much more than just studying when you are at school．School is also the place where you learn to get on well with people．But this is not always easy．What can you do if you just don't like one of your classmates？

If you discover that you have problems getting on with your classmates or friends，the most important thing to learn is tolerance．Tolerance is the ability to realize and respect the differences in others．We can not change the way that other people do，so it is important to learn to live happily with them．

Tolerance will make everyone get on better with each other．Getting to know someone may help you understand why they do things differently．Something different does not exactly mean that it is bad．Tolerance teaches us to keep a    temperate and open mind．

You need to remember an old saying，"Treat others how you want to be treated"．If you tolerate something，it does not mean that you have to like it．No one is asking you to change who you are or what you believe in．Tolerance just means that you should respect the differences in others and not try to make them change．

It is important to practice tolerance，because it will make everyone's life easier．Learn to accept people for their different abilities and interests．The world is very different，and practicing tolerance in your own school and city can help make a difference．

Alice spends her summer vacations walking back into history．Alice is 15 and she is a guide who shows visitors around the Fort （城堡）Delaware Museum in New York．"This year．I spun wool （纺毛线） on a spinning wheel．Last year，I was a candle maker．My first year，I cared for the garden and looked after the animals．All the jobs I've had at the fort have been really fun．"

Fort Delaware is a living﹣history museum that shows how life was in frontier （边远地区） America in the mid﹣1700s．"Reading about history can't compare to experiencing it for yourself"，says Alice．

They are playing historical parts，so the guides can't wear shorts or T﹣shirts when the weather is hot．But the clothes of the past can easily change modern kids into people from the 18th century，"The clothes felt strange at first，but it does make it easier to get into characters．"says Jane．

Once there was a man traveling in a faraway village．As he was passing the elephants，he suddenly stopped．He found that these huge elephants were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg．No chains，no cages．It was clear that the elephants could，at any time，break away from their ropes but for some reason，they did not．

He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and didn't try to get away．'Well，'the trainer said，'when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and，at that rage，it's enough to hold them．As they grow up，they still believe they cannot break away．They believe the rope can hold them，so they never try to break free．'

How could it be？These animals could at any time break free from their ropes．But because they always stuck right where they were，they believed they couldn't．

Just like the elephants，how many of us go through life believing that we cannot do something，just because we failed at it once before？

A person has two ears but only one mouth． That means we should listen， not just speak． The word "listen" has the same letters as the word "silent"． Listening silently is a good quality that we should have．Then why is it important to be a good listener？

    Listening is really helpful．

    When someone is sad or angry， he wants to express his poor feelings． At this moment， we need to listen silently first until he gets calm（冷静的）． Then we may have a good talk with him． Maybe it is a good way to help him out．

    Listening is a kind of love．

    For example， we may think our parents are always talking too much． But in fact， they do so because they are anxious about our health， study and so on． If we listen patiently， our parents will feel we care about them． A loving silence is often more powerful（有力量的）than words．

    Listening is polite behavior．

    Sometimes， we just want others to listen to us but forget to listen to others． In fact． That's not polite． In order to show our respect（尊重）for others， we had better listen to them first． Then we can express our ideas．

    Listening sounds easy，but it's not． Every head is a world． So we should learn to listen with our ears， eyes and hearts as much as we can， and try to make ourselves

good listeners from now on．

（1）When someone is sad or angry， we should　　 first．

（3）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？　　

A． We should ask others to listen to us first．

B． We had better listen to others first．

C． We should let others respect us first．

D． We should express our ideas first．

In Los Angeles， a waiter served a group of teens． The waiter remembered his experience as a young high school student． So he made sure the teens had a pleasant experience at the restaurant． The waiter made sure of it．
