Have a glass of water to see if you are thirsty-sometimes you are just thirty，you need no food. Stop eating before you feel full.Eat breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. After you dont eat for the past ten hours， your body needs food to get you going. You will be smarter after eating breakfast.Eat healthy snacks like fruits，yogurt or cheese.

They feel heavy pressure(压力)from their parents. Most parents always tell their children to study harder so that they can have a wonderful life. Though this may be a good idea for those very clever students, it can have terrible results for many students because they have difficulties in their studies.As it is reported , some students killed themselves. Some join the groups of trouble makers. Many of them have tried very hard at school，but they have failed in the exams and it makes their parents lose hope. Such students feel that they are hated by everyone else they meet and they dont want to go to school any longer, so they become dropouts.It is surprising that though most parents are worried about their children, they do not help them in any way. Many parents feel that they are not able to help their children and that it is the teachers work to help their children. To make matters worse, a lot of parents send their children to those schools opening in the evening sand（晚自修）on weekends. Those schools only help students to pass exams. It is a great surprise that almost three quarters of middle school students have been to such kind of schools. Many schools usually have rules about everything, from the students hair to their clothes and the things in their school bags. In fact, such strict（严格的）rules may hurt the feelings of the students. Almost 40% of the students said that no one had taught them how to get on with others, how to tell right form wrong and how to show love to others, even to their parents.62. Many students feel unhappy because .A. their teachers dont like them B. they worry about their parentsC. their parents put too much pressure on the children.

Most parents only think of their childrens exam results.65.

The printing? The telephone? Or the computer? A report shows that they are not the only important inventions. Here are three other important inventions.One of the simplest inventions is the toilet.

After hay became a kind of common animal food, animals could live through the long winter.The third great invention is glasses. Glasses help people read, write and do “close work” after the age of forty-five. Without glasses, the world would be difficult for the people above forty-five.
