What should you think about in trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to do well at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. Knowledge of history is not required for most jobs hut if history is one of your good subjects you must have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.

Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metal work or cookery (烹饪术) and look for a job where you can improve these skills.

If you have had a part-time job on weekends or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside of a part-time job.

Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is better to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be ashamed of it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.

According to a recent survey, violence（暴力）did exist in schools. Students showed their fear and parents and teachers also 【小题1】（express）their great concern about it. Experts hope 【小题2】 whole society should pay more attention to the psychological health of teenagers.

Nowadays, school violence is a hot issue. I think this is a phenomenon（现象）, which 【小题3】（call）for our great concern. We should make every effort 【小题4】（prevent）violence happening at school for more and more students would drop out of school if their personal 【小题5】（safe）could not be guaranteed（保证）. In fact, violence can be learned. 【小题6】（actual）, children learn violent behavior from adults or from 【小题7】 they see on television or on the Internet.

If I meet with school violence, I will not answer violence with violence, for it will result in 【小题8】（much）fighting. I will tell my teachers and parents about it. I think they will help me deal with it well and they will protect me 【小题9】 the bad guys.

All in all, we students should behave 【小题10】（we） and keep away from violence.

In a different evening of November two years ago, we had a big party to celebrate Thanksgiving Day in the Concert Hall in our school. Present at the party was all the students and teachers, apart from some of the school leaders. Working together on stage, the teachers and students gave a lot of wonderfully American performances. For an example, they cooperated with each other perform witty skits（滑稽短剧）as well as singing and dancing. To our surprises, they also played magic tricks. The performances were very amazing that we all had a good time that evening.

Therefore, happy time really flies. The moment finally comes when the party came to an end. We are looking forward to get together to perform again.

   Even if your school provides healthy foods，it can be easy to give in to your desire（渴望）and pick a less healthy choice when you are feeling really hungry. How do you take control of it？【小题1】 Here are a few reasons for you to pack your lunch or snacks at least twice a week:

Do you ever wait in the lunch line only to find that when you get to the front，you don’t like what they are serving？So you reach for pizza again. 【小题2】 Bringing your own lunch also lets you control exactly what goes into the food you eat.

It does not hurt to enjoy an occasional（偶尔的）serving of pizza and hot dogs. 【小题3】 A packed lunch a couple of times a week means you can enjoy some favorites you might not find at every school—like your mom’s chicken soup or some crisp apples.

If you have a big game or activity after school，plan a lunch and snacks that combine lean proteins with carbohydrates（糖类）. 【小题4】

Pack healthy snacks so you don’t feel tempted to step off campus for a fast—food lunch，or hit the corner store for a chocolate and a soda！Put the money you save on such snacks aside.

In a word，whether you pack your lunch or eat in the cafeteria，what is important is that you make healthy choices. If you are concerned that your cafeteria does not offer enough healthy options，get involved in trying to make changes. 【小题5】
