"Keep your eyes on your own paper" is one of the rules that Mrs． Archer has taught us． It is a simple rule， but it's not a rule everybody chooses to follow．
This morning， I had an experience with a "rule breaker" during an English exam． I felt somebody was watching me a little too closely． I turned my head quickly and saw James， who sat right behind me． My eyes caught his and he said in a low voice． "I hope you studied for this test!" I gave him a smile， not sure whether he was joking or not， and returned to my test． This time I leaned （倾身） a little more closely towards my paper， "I can't see!" James said．
"What am I going to do？" I thought to myself． Cheating （欺骗） went against my beliefs． I curled my arm around my answers．
"He's your friend，and what are friends for？"
"You know it's wrong．"
I tapped （轻敲，轻拍） the top of my desk， hoping for an easy way out of this matter． No easy answer came． I just knew I had to do what I felt was right， even if it made James mad． So I guarded my paper so that he couldn't see my answers．
When the exam ended， I stood there for a moment， searching for the right words to say to James． "Sorry， James， but you know me well enough to understand how I feel about cheating，" I said slowly and softly． "But maybe I could help you study before the next test．" "OK， Brian，" he smiled． "It might not be easy， but I'll give it a try．"
I felt happy that my friendship with James hadn't been destroyed （破坏）． Mrs． Archer would be proud．

Hey， guys! I have a lot of things I don't need， so I'm thinking about having a yard sale． What do you think？
|
|
Thank you!
|
|
Having a yard sale is not easy． You have to collect things， put prices on them， put them out on tables and then wait for people to come． And usually you have to sell things at VERY low prices． For all that time and work， you make very little money． Why not just sell your things online for higher prices？ |
|
Debby's right． But I think it'd be even better to just give your things to people who need them． I just sent out a lot of things last week． |
|
Hey， I love yard sales! It's a great chance to make big money if you choose the right day． In my experience， Saturday is the best．
|
|
I agree with Albert． You can make money and meet interesting people． I made some good friends at my last yard sale．

Spending more than two hours a night doing homework leads to better results in English，math and science，according to a major study （by Pam Sammons，England） which has tracked （跟踪）the progress of 3，000 children over the past 15 years．
Spending any time doing homework showed advantages，but the influence was greater for the students who put in two to three hours a night，according to the study published by the Department for Education in England．
The scientists who did the research say their study emphasizes （强调）what students actually do rather than how much work the school has set．
Pam Sammons，a professor of education at Oxford University，said that time spent on homework showed the influence of the school﹣if children were expected to do homework and if they enjoy their subjects．"That's one of the reasons Indian and Chinese children do better．They put more time in it．"he added．
It's also reported that students who enjoyed school got better results．"Schools could make sure children had a better experience by improving the school environment，making school work interesting and making children feel supported by teachers．"Sammons said．
It is suggested that children aged 5to 7should be set one﹣hour homework a week，half an hour a night for 7to 11﹣year﹣olds．Secondary schools were encouraged to set up two hours a night for 14to 16﹣year﹣olds．
"Headteachers should make their own homework policy，"the government says．

We all waste food，you and me，every day，millions of tons of it．In China，enough food is wasted in restaurants every year to feed 200 million people．And the amount of food wasted by Chinese consumers is increasing fast．So our nation is being encouraged to stop wasting food．
So what should Chinese consumers do to prevent food waste？
♦Keep a kitchen diary
All of us should keep a kitchen diary，and we can know that how much food we waste at home．The first thing for us to do is to stop throwing away food that we can still eat．We should eat everything we buy and if we cannot，we should buy less．
♦Buy only what we need
We should ask for smaller portions in stores．We should also check how much food we have before buying more．We shouldn't bring much food we don't need home even if large posters ask us to do so．
♦Develop the habit of packing food．Chinese consumers are generous and friendly．In restaurants，often too much food is ordered and served．So when ordering out，we are supposed to exclude the food in the order if we don't plan to eat it．And order smaller servings in restaurants and take home what we cannot finish．
Don't put it off! Let's stop food waste today!
