Sally was feeling very nervous before her interview(面试) at Welcome Secondary School. All her families said it was a very good school. Many of her friends wanted to go there too.

Her parents encouraged her. “Don't be shy. I'm sure you’ll do well,” said her mother.

On the day of the interview, Sally's parents supported (支持) her by going with her.
While they were waiting outside the headmaster's office, they told her, “Just take a deep breath and do your best.” As Sally knocked on the door, she gave her parents a brave smile.
The headmaster started the interview by asking, “What school activities do you like ”
For a moment, Sally could not think of anything to say. She could not remember what she had practised with her parents. Then she remembered her mother's advice: Just be yourself. So she relaxed and replied, “I like drama and art. To be honest, I'm not very good at sport.” After that, Sally had no problem answering the other questions.
At the end of the interview, the headmaster shook hands with Sally as she went out of her office. The headmaster said, “I look forward to seeing you again, Sally.”

Technology (科技) can be a great way to learn. Apps, games, and websites (网站) make learning fun. But it's easy to spend too much time looking at screens (屏幕). So, it's important for students of all ages to know how to use technology the right way.
Our brain works differently when we read on a screen compared to reading a book. Screens have things that can take our attention away. Reading a book helps us understand better and remember things more easily. Writing by hand is also better for our brain than typing (打字). When we write, we think more about what we' re writing, which is harder than just typing.
Spending too much time on screens can be bad for kids. It can make it harder to focus (集中), do well in school, sleep, and exercise. Too much time with technology can also make it harder for kids to make friends in real life, which can make them feel lonely.
It's not always clear if technology helps us learn better. Technology can be great for learning, but it can also be dangerous. Parents and teachers can't stop kids from using technology, but they can help them know when and how to use it the right way.

A smile shows that a person is happy. For example, a person may smile when he or she is pleased with a grade on a test. Or a person might smile if a friend told a funny joke. 36 But smiles are more than just a way for people to show that they are happy. There are other good reasons to smile often.
First, it is easier to smile than to show unhappiness. In fact, it only takes 17 muscles (肌肉)to smile. 37 So give the muscles in your face a rest and smile!
Second, smiles are nice. People may try to look nice on the outside by exercising or wearing nice clothes. However, there is a famous saying: a smile is the best thing a person can wear. That is because it is easy to be around someone who is smiling and happy. 38
Third, smiles have power. Both smiling and laughing can easily and quickly spread (蔓延)from one person to another. 39 Similarly, when a person laughs, people tend to (倾向于)laugh with them. If a person is sad, the best thing to do is to share a smile or laugh. It is the easiest(and cheapest) way to cheer someone up.
40 Even if you are mad or sad, try smiling. You’ll find that it will be hard to stay mad or sad for very long!
