You may not realize it, but you are doing much more than just studying when you are at school. School is a     the place where you learn to get along 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 d   that you have problems getting along with your classmates or friends, the most important thing to learn is tolerance(宽容). Tolerance is the ability to realize and respect the differences in others. We cannot change the w  that other people do, so it is important to learn to live h   with them.
Tolerance will make everyone get on better with each other. K  others constantly(不断地) makes us understand others’ differences.
Something different does not exactly mean that it is bad. Tolerance t us to keep an even temper(温和的脾气) and an open mind.
You need to remember an old saying, “Treat others h    you want to be treated.” You would like to be treated kindly by your classmates, so it is important to treat them kindly too. 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 s    respect the differences in others and not to try to make them change.
It is important to practice tolerance, because it will make e   life easier. Learn to accept people for t     different abilities and interests. The world is very different, and practicing tolerance in your own school and city can help make things better.

Much meaning can be carried, clearly, with our eyes, so it is often said that eyes can speak. Do you have such kind of experience? In a bus you may look at a stranger, but not too long. And if he notices that he is being stared at, he may feel uncomfortable.
The same in daily life! If you are looked at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down, to see if there is anything wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel angry toward others’ stare（盯着）with you that way. Eyes do speak, right?
Looking too long at someone may seem to be impolite or even rude. But things are different when it comes to stare at the opposite sex. If a man look at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to turn away from his looking, his purpose is obvious, that is, he wishes to attract her attention, to make her understand that he is admiring her.
However, the normal eye contact for two people during a conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time, in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what his friend is speaking, to tell him that he is interested.
If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking, as if he tries to control you, you will feel uncomfortable. We usually find a poor liar（说谎者）looking too long at the victim, because he believes that it is a sign of honest communication to look straight in the eye. Totally wrong!
In fact, continuous eye contact only happens between lovers, who will enjoy looking at each other gently for a long time, to show feelings that words cannot express. Obviously, eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and the proper situation.

Eyes can speak
In ourlife	A lot of feeling can be to others with our eyes. There are a lot of facts to prove it. You may not feel very well when you are at more than often. This time it will make you  and you will wonder whether there’s something wrong. If not, you’ll be really angry.
When you look too long at the  sex	Looking too long at a girl you means you wish to attract her attention. And most of the time, continuous eyes contacting is just for .
When you have a  with someone	If a speaker looks at the listeners at , it is a kind of eye contact.
So remember to look at your partner at the right time. If not, it will make others uncomfortable.

We all need a healthy environment, but we p waste every day and it does harm to our environment. Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the s everyday activities can make a real d to the environment. Here are some ideas for you to live a green life.
Remember these three words: reduce, reuse and recycle.
Reduce means “don't waste things” .This s  money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think if it is really n  or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we do buy things, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from a .
Reuse means “use again”. Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. We should take care of them so that they will last, and we should r  them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don't use a paper cup or a paper bag. It’s better to use a china cup and a lunch box b you can use them again.
Recycle means “change things into something else”. A  it takes energy to change something into something else, it’s better than throwing things away or b them. Find out what can be recycled in your neighbourhood and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.

As we know, weather and climate can affect people in a number of ways.
Farming and climate   Farming is directly linked (联系) to weather and climate. For example, wheat needs dry, warm and sunny weather to grow while rice needs wet, hot and rainy weather. Farmers have to decide what to grow according to the weather in their area. When there is a sudden change in the climate, it will affect farming and food production around the world.
Climate and people’s health   A change in weather will also cause changes in food, air and water qualities. So it will have a deep effect on people in the future. Changes in weather and climate can cause infectious (传染的) illnesses to spread among people because germs (细菌) can be easily spread through air and water. 
Climate and water resources   A climate change would influence the water system across the world. For example, in North America there is so much rain that towns and cities are often flooded. However, in North Africa, people can die of thirst because of being short of water.
In recent years, as a result of global warming (全球变暖), we suffer a lot from extreme (极端的) weather each year and it is the duty of the whole world to control the climate change and save our own planet – the earth.

Weather and climate    people in at least three ways
and climate	◆ Different crops need different kinds of weather and climate. ◆ What to grow should be    according to the weather in this area. ◆ Food production may be affected    of a sudden change in the climate.
Climate and people’s	◆ A change in weather may lead to changes in food, air and water qualities, so its effect on people is   . ◆ Climate change can make it easier for germs to    through air and water.
Climate and water resources	◆ Climate change may influence the water    in the world. ◆ In one area, there might be too much water while in another area, there might be not    water.
Conclusion	the climate change to save the earth is the whole world’s duty.
