How do you get on with your teachers? Every day, we spend hours with our teachers at school. We1them, and they teach us to be good people. The relationship between students and teachers is very important.
Teachers care about our studies and lives, and it seems they know everything about the 2they teach. They also have the right to decide who should be the class leaders.
So, many students want to be the teacher's pets. We 3 teachers great respect. In class, we obey the rules and keep 4if the teacher doesn't ask us to speak. When our teachers make a (n), 5we are afraid to point it out. Some of us don't contact teachers after class.
At American 6, the situation is a little different. Teachers and students are more like friends. 7a teacher by his or her name is common. In class, students express their opinions 8 and challenge teachers when they don't agree. If it turns out that a teacher makes a mistake, the teacher will say 9 in front of the whole class. Students and teachers also communicate through Facebook or Twitter after class. They 10 about studies and life experiences.
Teachers are like our parents and our friends.
So we should respect our teachers.
What is “American food”？To many people， American food means hamburgers, hot dogs, and fried chicken. However, are those only kinds of food in the US?
Except for Thanksgiving turkey, it's hard to find a typical “American” food. The US is a land of immigrants (移民).When people move to America, they bring their cooking styles with them. So Americans eat food from many different countries. That's why you can find almost all kinds of exotic food in America, such as Italian pizza, Mexican tacos and Chinese fried roll. But they don't taste quite like the real taste of the food!
As a large country, the US has several areas, and each area has its own style of food. You can visit the South and enjoy country-style cooking, take a trip to New England and try seafood dishes, and travel through the Midwest for baked food.
Now Americans live at a fast speed and often have some fast food. One of the most common quick American meals is sandwiches. Some Americans also choose to eat unhealthy food, but others prefer “all natural” eating habits. They refuse to eat any food with additives (添加剂).
American culture is a good example of the saying: You are what you eat. The different kinds of food show the different kinds of personal taste. Anyway, it's all-American.
It was the Peter shopkeeper in New York who taught me about the great power of kindness.
At that time I was a poor student. I would work early mornings and the late nights to pay for my studies.
On the day I went to that shop for the first time. I was sick with a very high fever. I had been off work for a few days, and I had run out of food. As I had been so busy working, I hardly had friends nearby who could help.
So I went out to get some food. Usually, I would have gone to the supermarket, but because it was closer, I went into the Peter Shop. I picked up a few items, and then handed them to the shopkeeper, who told me, “Girl, you are unwell.” I nodded.
He pointed at the sausage (香肠) and bread I was buying and offered, “l can make you a sandwich, so you don't have to do it yourself.” So, he made the sandwich and asked me to wait a moment. He went in the back room and reappeared with a bowl of hot soup. “It will warm you up,” he said with a gentle smile.
What really warmed me up, though, was not the soup. It was his smile. His kindness made me feel cared for at a point in life when I was particularly lonely. It made me want to be as kind as the shopkeeper who had been kind to me. I had been quite shy, but from that day on, I did not let shyness stop me from performing kindness.

| Is Goodies good? 7:02 P.M. |
Does anyone know about Goodies next to the Mad-Eye Theater? I want to go there with my friends this Saturday. Thanks! | |
| RE: Is Goodies good? 7:30 P.M. |
My dad took me there yesterday. I don't know if it's expensive. He paid. The food was fine, not the best, though. But you must try its papaya (木瓜) ice cream. I just couldn't get enough of it! Dinner is £50 cheaper if you eat there on your birthday. | |
| RE: Is Goodies good? 8:11P.M. |
Its food is good but its waiters are not. For that price, I think you should go to Awe's. It's a little far from the theater, but the waiters there are friendly, and the food is wonderful. It's celebrating its fifth birthday, so lunch is only half price this week. | |
| RE: Is Goodies good? 9:56 P.M. |
It's the best restaurant I've ever been to. It's a little expensive. But it costs £ 100 less for lunch. Crazy_P is right about the papaya ice cream. | |
| RE: Is Goodies good? 11:11 P.M. |
There's only one good thing about Goodies: After you eat there, everything else on Earth tastes good! About the waiters, do they have any? |

Europe is a great place to explore. There are so many amazing places to visit, so make sure you do it right. Here are a few dos which I have learnt during my travels around Europe.
* DO make sure you save up enough money beforehand. Some people may want to earn money while they're travelling but you have to know that it's impossible to get enough impossible to pay for your trip by doing so, so make sure that you have enough money before you go!
* DO try to find the best way of transport. From my experience, I have learnt that the more uncomfortable the journey is, the cheaper it is. For example, a seven-hour bus ride through the night costs much less than a half-an-hour flight. So it's up to you to decide whether it's worth it!
* DO spend time choosing your hotels. Take time to make sure that you've chosen the best place to stay. Believe me! There are so many different choices in Europe ... from campsites to hotels, B&Bs (bed and breakfast)... For instance, if you5 re looking for lots of partying and nightlife, a family B&B is not for you.
* DO make sure that you'll remember the experience forever! Take pictures and videos, buy postcards and souvenirs, and write a journal... It's always so nice to look back on your time travelling at a later date to refresh your memory and it can also be so much fun to make memories by taking pictures and writing along the way.

How long do you think you will live? Many people don't think they will live a long life. How long will you live?
Probably much longer than you think.
In 1992, the University of Michigan's Health and Retirement Study asked 26,000 Americans over the age of 50 the chance of living to the age of 75. Now, researchers at the Brookings Institution checked the results to see if they were right.
In 1992, seven percent of respondents (应答者) gave themselves “zero” chance to reach 75. But in fact, nearly half lived to 75 or longer. Is it amazing?
Among respondents who gave themselves a 50 percent chance of living to 75, 75 percent lived to that age or longer.
And among those who said they were completely certain of living to the age of 75, nearly 8 in 10 did.
“In general, people wildly underestimate (低估) their chances of reaching 75, but you in fact can live longer than you think,” a researcher wrote on the blog. You'll probably live much longer than you think. Life expectancy (预期寿命) in the United States was 78.74 years in 2012, according to World Bank data, and 71 years worldwide.
"There is no clear relationship between how long people think they'll live and how long they actually do. We don5t know the reason of file results. Maybe people's life quality changes a lot but they don't realize,” the researcher said. In fact, respondents who gave themselves a 10 percent chance of living to 75 had at least a 60 percent chance of doing so.
Do you think that you511 live to 75? Just believe that you have a 90 percent chance, and you may probably do.
