Here's some advice on how to be a good student.

Manage your time carefully. It's good to keep a habit of planning your time every day. It's very helpful to know what you will do. When you plan your week, you'd make a list of things you have to do. Then you'd make a schedule of your time for eating, sleeping, studying and even amusements. Make the best of your time. Listen to everything the teachers say in class. That means less work later. Don't forget to take notes. It will help you remember what the teacher says. Make sure to put your heart into the book, and you will get more from it.

Develop good attitudes. You'd build up friendship. Try to make more friends. And you can meet new people, find new friends and even talk to people you don't like. You never know what will happen in the future. Have a healthy diet. Try different kinds of food and get enough fruits and vegetables. If not, you won't get nutrients (营养) you need to grow each day.

A Fantastic Hobby

A British boy has become one of the youngest people to sail alone across the Atlantic Ocean. SebClover has a fantastic and exciting hobby-sailing. He sailed his 9.8-metre-long boat 5,000 km from Tenerife to Antigua.

Fifteen-year-old Seb said, "Sometimes I was afraid. But I still enjoyed every moment. The best thing was seeing fish and other sea animals swimming close to the boat." He was also very happy to arrive in Antigua.

"You are busy all the time on a boat alone. It's difficult to cook something to eat on this kind of journey because you have to watch the sea all the time. Usually, you eat something small and often. That way, you don't have to stop working. "The worst part of the journey?" That's easy to answer, "said Seb, "I ran out of chocolate!"

Seb has sailed boats since he was very young and started to get ready for this journey when he was only twelve. Seb said, "l enjoyed sailing alone, but I'm looking forward to going back to school now. Next time, I'd like to go sailing with my friends."

It is said that the eyes are the windows to our soul. However, to have healthy eyes, you have to look after them properly. Your eyes need everyday attention.

First, you have to pay more attention to your diet. Eat more fresh fruit, vegetables, fish, eggs and milk. It's good for your eyes. Also, a regular amount of vitamins A and B2 should also be taken.

Second, you must have regular and sound sleep. This relaxes the eye muscles(肌肉）and gives them the rest they need. Sleep can help the body repair its tired tissue(组织). You should sleep for at least seven to eight hours every day.

Loss of sleep can give you dark circles under your eyes. Next, it's necessary for you to exercise your eyes every day. Blink your eyes at regular periods to keep your eyes moist(湿润的).

Last, you should treat your eyes correctly. For example, if you get something in your eye, don't start rubbing(揉)it. Rubbing is harmful to your eyes. Don't read or write in poor or bright sunlight because sunlight can cause eye tiredness. Remember to wear sunglasses to stop the sun from shining directly in your eyes. Too much reading, writing, watching television or working on a computer can also cause eye tiredness, so rest is required.

Teenagers are the most dangerous drivers on the road. Teaching them to drive carefully is very important in helping them become safe drivers. Cellphones and friends can very often lead to accidents, but there are other factors(因素) affecting teenage drivers, like lack of (缺少) sleep, drunk driving and not wearing seatbelts(安全带).Parents can set rules to help children stay safe on the road.

★Encourage teenagers to avoid speeding. It is the most important rule to educate them. Driving too fast is very common among teenagers and is perhaps the easiest way to break traffic laws. Teenagers should be required to avoid speeding and not to ride in a car with anyone else who speeds.

★Ask teenagers to always wear a seatbelt. Whether a teenager is driving or not, he or she needs to be asked to always wear a seatbelt. If the teenager is old enough to have passengers, ask passengers to wear seatbelts, too.

★Always set limits (限制) on the number of passengers. You and your teenager must agree on a set number of teenagers as passengers, but the number of passengers should not be larger than the number of seatbelts in the car.

★Set a fixed time for your teenager to be home. There should be a clear time when the teenager needs to be home. Then they will be more careful when they are in the car.

More than 60 per cent of children and teens do not get enough sleep, which can put their health at risk, according to a report by the Chinese Sleep Research Society.

Nearly 63 per cent of Chinese youths ages 6 to 17 sleep less than eight hours a day, according to the report. Among 13 to 17-year-olds the number is more than 81 per cent. The report was based on a survey at the end of last year and in January. It covered nearly 70, 000 children and teens ages 6 to 17 all over China.

The report found that two top causes influenced students' sleep. From Monday to Thursday, 64 per cent of the group would still be busy with their homework after 11 p.m.. More than 41 per cent of children and teenagers who sleep too little use computers and mobile phones.

The survey also showed that good sleep makes study effective(有效的). Some students who sleep longer generally finish homework in two to three hours. Some other students may require four to six hours because they sleep less. Zhao Zhongxin, a professor studying sleep disorders, said, "Sleep helps growth, protects the brain and makes the immune system(免疫系统) better. Long-term loss of sleep will bring risks of disease and cause lasting health damage."

Some specialists suggested that local education authorities all over China take action to help students get more sleep, including putting off the start of morning classes by half an hour.

    The Spring Festival is the most important festival for the Chinese people and is when all fami­ly members get together, just like Christmas in the West. All people living away from home go back, becoming the busiest time for transportation systems of about half a month from the Spring Festival. Airports, railway stations and long-distance bus stations are crowded with home returnees（返回者）.

    The Spring Festival fells on the 1st day of the 1st lunar month, often one month later than the Gregorian（阳历）calendar. It started in the Shang Dynasty （ 1600 BC - 1100 BC） from the people's respect for gods and ancestors （祖先）at the end of an old year and the beginning of a new one.

    Strictly speaking, the Spring Festival starts ever）- year in the early days of the 12th lunar month and will last till the middle 1st lunar month of the next year. Of them, the most important days are Spring Festival Eve and the first three days. The Chinese government now promises people to have seven days off for the Chinese Lunar New Year.

    MSF, an organization which sent trained doctors all over the world to help people who have suffered from disasters (遭受灾难)since 1971. At the moment, more than 27,000 trained doctors have taken part in MSF. The organization received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1999. All kinds of doctors can volunteer for MSF. They need to be ready to go almost anywhere in the world and, of course, they should face difficulties. Most of MSF's work is in Africa. When MSF chooses a doctor for a task, they have to go for at least six months. When doctors have completed a few tasks, they might be sent on an emergency (紧急的)task following a disaster, such as an earthquake.
