| Dear Donna, Help! I’m a 15-year-old high school student in New York. In eight months, I’m going to take an entrance exam(升学考试). To prepare, I’m studying six hours a day. I want to do well, but I’m really upset. I cant’ sleep. What can I do? Yours, Mary |
| Dear Mary, Many students have the same problems as you. Here is some advice to help you deal with the stress(压力). 1. Make a study plan, but don’t study too much in one day. You remember more by studying one hour each day for six days, than six hours in one day. Also, don’t study late at night. 2. Have a rest for 15 to 20 minutes every two hours. Go outdoors and walk. Doing exercise is a good way to reduce stress. 3. Don’t eat a lot or sugar of drink a lot of coffee. Eat food high in Vitamin(维生素) B (such as eggs, milk, vegetables and rice). These give you energy and help you think clearly. 4. A study partner(伙伴) can help you practice for the test. You can talk to your partner. This can reduce stress, too. I hope these suggestions can be helpful. Your, Donna |

I stood there listening to my father shout at top of his voice. The look on his face said that one of us had done something wrong.

When he asked me, I lied, “Not me, dad.” The other denied(否认) it as well. Of course, we all knew that one of us must have done it. But as the youngest and smallest of the three, I just couldn’t find courage to tell the truth.
To find out who had written on the step, Father gave us each a piece of paper and a pencil. “I want each of you to write exactly what you see on the step.” I tried my best to write the words differently. I didn’t want dad to be able to tell it was me.
He gathered up our paper and looked at them. “Since none of you will say yes, then I will punish you all.” I stood there and said nothing. The last thing I wanted was for Dad to punish me!
“I did it.” My sister walked forward and said she had done something she hadn’t. she was punished for a month.
We didn’t talk about that day for many years. Not until we were all older and I knew it was safe to finally tell my dad it was really me. I always felt sorry because of it. That was the last time I let anyone take the blame for me. I told myself, “One must see to what he or she has done.”The writer’s father was _____________ when he saw the handwriting in chalk on the step.
