Lots of kids hate school, a new study found. Usually this kind of feeling doesn't last long. But what happens if you feel this way too much? School is a fact of life and getting a good education can help you build the kind of future life you want. So let's talk about school and what to do when you don't like it.
If you don't like school, the first step is to find out why. You might not like school because you don't have enough friends, or maybe you don't get along with your teacher. Sometimes it's a big problem with your classes and school-work. You may be getting farther and farther behind,and it may seem like you'll never catch up.

I Don’t Have to Be Like Them(保持真我)
All students have to face their own problems when they are growing up. You may not think that having a good family is a problem. But for me, it was. I had to face the problem of being the youngest of the Smith girls.
We live in a small town in Pennsylvania, US. There are three girls in the Smith family, Amanda, Theresa and me . People often say things to me , like “ Oh, the three of you, you’re such nice girls. Your sisters are so pretty and so thin! You’re really nothing like them. ” That made me sad.
At school, all of my teachers had taught my sisters. On the first day of school, they said , “Oh , the youngest of the three! I hope you’re just like your sisters. They’re such wonderful students.”
People always compared（比较） me with my sisters. So I couldn’t help comparing myself with them, too. Theresa was smarter（更聪明的, Amanda was prettier. I began to work hard to be more like them. What my sisters did, I did, too. At last, I became drum major（主鼓手）of our school ’s marching band. Both Amanda and Theresa had been drum majors. I became editor of the school’s newspaper. Theresa had been the editor two years before.
But last year, Amanda went to college（大学）, and Theresa went to high school . Now I’m by myself at junior high. Everyone knows me, because I’m the drum major and the newspaper’s editor.
Now I don’t feel like a Smith girl any more, I feel like myself. I’m proud of doing all of the same great things that my sisters did. But the best thing I did was to learn to stop comparing myself with them.When people compare the author(作者) with her sisters , she feels________

| A．Because she liked that. |
| B．Because her parents asked her to . |
| C．Because her sisters did that before. |

| A．she becomes much better than her sisters |
| B．she stops comparing herself with her sisters |
| C．no one compares herself with her sisters |
| D．she has graduated from the junior school |
