FIRST IMPRESSIONS
第一印象
Han Jing’s World 韩静的世界
7： 上午7：00
So this is it—senior high school at last! I’m not outgoing so I’m a little anxious right now. I want to make a good first impression. Will I make any friends? What if no one talks to me?
12: 中午12：30
I just had my first maths class at senior high school! The class was difficult, but the teacher was kind an
d friendly. He even told us a funny story, and everyone laughed so much! I found most of my classmates and teachers friendly and helpful.
我刚刚上完高中的第一节数学课！这堂课很难，但老师却很和蔼可亲。他还给我们讲了一个有趣的故事，每个人都笑得很开心！我发现我的大多数同学和老师都很友好，而且乐于助人。
5: 下午5：32
This afternoon, we had our chemistry class in the science lab. The lab is new and the lesson was great, but the guy next to me tried to talk to me the whole time. I couldn’t concentrate on the experiment. I really wanted to tell him to please be quiet and leave me alone!
今天下午，我们在科学实验室上了化学课。实验室是新的，这节课也很精彩，但坐在我旁边的那个家伙一直试图跟我说话。我无法集中精力做实验。我真想对他说：请安静点，别烦我！
10: 晚上10：29
What a day! This morning, I was worried that no one would talk to me. But I was wrong. I didn’t feel awkward or frightened at all. I miss my friends from junior high school, but I believe I will make new friends here, and there’s a lot to explore at senior high. I feel much more confident than I felt this mor
ning. I think that tomorrow will be a great day!
多好的一天啊！今天早上，我担心没有人会跟我说话。但我错了。我一点儿也不觉得尴尬或害怕。我想念我初中的朋友，但我相信我会在这里会结交到新朋友，而且高中有很多事物等着我去探索。我感觉比今天早上自信多了。我相信，明天将是非常不错的一天！

THE FRESHMAN CHALLENGE
新生的挑战
Hi! My name is Adam and I’m a freshman at senior high school. Going from junior high school to senior high school is a really big challenge. The first week was a little confusing.
嗨！我叫亚当，是高中一年级的新生。从初中过渡到高中真是一项巨大的挑战。第一周有点让人迷茫。
First, I had to think very carefully about which courses I wanted to take. The school adviser helped me choose the suitable ones: maths, English, chemistry, world history, and Chinese. I know that Chinese is a very difficult language, but I hope to be fluent when I graduate. My adviser recommended that I should sign up for advanced literature because I like English and I’m good at it.
首先，我必须非常认真地考虑我想选哪些课程。学校的指导老师帮我选择了适合我的课程：数学、英语、化学、世界史和中文。我知道中文是一门非常难学的语言，但我希望毕业时能说得很流利。因为我喜欢英语而且成绩不错，我的指导老师建议我选修高级文学。
I had to choose extra-curricular activities, too. I tried to join the school football team, but the coach told me that I didn’t play well enough. Obviously, I was unhappy, but I won’t quit. I’ll find a way
to improve on my own so that I can make the team next year. I joined a volunteer club instead. Every Wednesday, we work at a soup kitchen and hand out food to homeless people in the community.
我还得选一些课外活动。我想参加学校足球队，但教练说我踢得不够好。显然，我很不开心，但我不会放弃。我会自己想办法提高，这样我明年就能加入球队了。不过，我还是参加了一个志愿者社团。每周三，我们会在食品救济站里干活，把食物分发给社区里的无家可归者。
I know I’ll have to study harder as a senior high school student and get used to being responsible for a lot more. I’m a bit worried about keeping up with the other students in my advanced course, and it’ll be quite difficult to get used to all the homework. Still, I’m happy to be here. Studying hard isn’t always fun, but I’ll be well prepared for university or whatever else comes in the future.
我知道作为一名高中生，我必须得更加努力地学习，学会习惯对更多的事情负责。我有点担心在高级课程中无法跟上其他学生，而且要适应所有的作业会相当困难。不过，我还是很高兴来到这里。努力学习并不总是有趣的，但我会为未来上大学或是任何其他的事情做好充分准备。

Susan Luo, an adviser for teenagers, has received a letter
10 September 2018
2018年9月10日
Dear Worried Friend,
亲爱的有烦恼的朋友，
You wrote that you are very worried about your friend, Chen Lei. I understand quite well that you are anxious and feel terrible. You think that your friend plays computer games too often and spends too much time online.
你信中写道，你很担心你的朋友陈雷。我完全理解你焦虑和担忧的心情。你认为你的朋友玩电脑游戏过于频繁，而且花太多时间在上网。
I recommend that you talk to your friend about his behaviour. It is not unusual for teenagers of your generation to be attracted to computer games and the online world. But spending too much time online is unhealthy and makes it very difficult to focus on other things in life. Some students even become addicted to the Internet and cannot concentrate on school and family life. I think you should encourage your friend to try new hobbies. Why not discuss the problem together? I am sure he will listen to you, since you are his good friend.
我建议你直接和你的朋友谈谈他的行为。对于你们这一代的青少年来说，被电脑游戏和网络世界所吸
引并不稀奇。但是花太多的时间上网有损健康，也会让你很难集中精力在生活中的其他事情上。一些学生甚至沉迷于网络，无法集中精力在学校和家庭生活上。我认为你应该鼓励你的朋友尝试一些新的爱好。你们为什么不一起讨论这个问题呢？我相信他会听你的，因为你是他的
好朋友。
All the best,
祝一切顺利！

LIVING LEGENDS
活着的传奇
Help us choose some “Living Legends of Sports”. They must be athletes who are masters in their sp
orts and also set good examples for others. Here are our first two choices.
来帮助我们选出“体育界的活传奇”吧。他们必须所在运动项目上的大师，并且是他人学习的楷模。以下是我们首批筛选出来的两位传奇人物。
Lang Ping 郎平
As a player, Lang Ping brought honour and glory to her country. As a coach, she led the China women’s volleyball team to medals at world championships and the Olympics. As a person, Lang Ping is loved by fans at home and abroad. When the Chinese team was preparing for the 2015 World Cup, her determination was tested. The team that Lang Ping had built was falling apart. One of the best players had been injured, and the team captain had to leave because of heart problems. Losing two important players was a big challenge, but Lang Ping did not lose heart. She had faced difficulties before, and she knew that her young players could win if they worked together as a team. Two weeks later, they were world champions! Then in 2016, Lang Ping led her volleyball team to Olympic gold in Brazil.
作为一名运动员，郎平为她的国家带来了诸多荣誉。作为一名教练，她带领中国女排在世界锦标赛和奥运会上屡获殊荣。作为个人，郎平深受国内外深受球迷的喜爱。当中国队在准备2015年世界杯时，
她的决心受到了考验。郎平组建的团队处于崩溃的边缘。最优秀的队员中有一人受伤了，而且队长也因心脏问题而离队。失去两大主力队员是一个巨大的挑战，但郎平并没有灰心。她以前也遇到过各种困难，她知道只要她这些年轻的运动员们拧成一股绳通力合作，就能获胜。两周后，她们真成了世界冠军！随后在2016年，郎平又带领她的排球队在巴西勇夺奥运会金牌。
Michael Jordan 迈克尔·乔丹
When Michael Jordan’s feet left the ground, time seemed to stand still. The player who became known as “Air Jordan”changed basketball with his graceful moves and jumps. Jordan’s skills were impressive, but the mental strength that he showed made him unique. In the final
seconds of a game, Jordan always seemed to find a way to win. Jordan says that the secret to his success is learning from his failures. “I can accept failure; everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying.”Losing games taught him to practise harder and never give up. In life, Jordan has learnt to share his success with others. The Boys and Girls Club which he started in Chicago has been helping young people since 1996.
迈克尔·乔丹双脚离地的那一瞬间时，时间似乎都凝固了。这位被称为“飞人乔丹”的运动员用他那优雅的动作和跳跃改变了篮球运动。乔丹的球技令人赞叹，然而他所展示出来的精神力量使他脱颖而出。
在比赛的最后几秒钟，乔丹似乎总能到办法获胜。乔丹说，他成功的秘诀在于从失败中学习。“我可以接受失败，每个人都会遭遇失败；但我决不能接受不去尝试。”赛场上失利教会他更努力地训练和永不放弃。在生活中，乔丹学会了与他人分享自己的成功。他在芝加哥创建的“男孩女孩俱乐部”从1996年至今一直在帮助年轻人。

GOING POSITIVE
积极向上
I always wanted to look like the slim girls on TV even though I knew that it was impossible. I worried about my weight and tried every new diet I read about online. I tried no-fat, low-fat, 5: 2, only bananas, no bananas—I almost went bananas, too.
我总是想让自己看起来像电视上的那些苗条女孩，尽管我知道明知这不可能。我非常担心我的体重，
也尝试了我网上看到的每一种新的减肥饮食方案。我试过无脂肪、低脂肪、5：2饮食法、只吃香蕉、不吃香蕉——(最后)我几近疯狂。
Then I read an article that said instead of asking “Am I fat?”I should be asking “Am I fit?”
I had no idea a letter could make such a difference! Once I started thinking about fitness rather than weight, things began to change. Instead of saying “I want to lose three kilos”, I would say “I want to run two kilometres in eight minutes”or “I want to be able to do 30 push-ups”. Rather than cutting out the foods I enjoyed, I added healthy foods to my meals. I could still have a burger now and then, but I would add a salad or an apple.
后来，我看到一篇文章，说不要问自己“我胖吗？”而应该问“我健康吗？”我没料到一词之差，能有如此大的区别！一旦我开始考虑健康而不是体重，情况就有了变化。我不会说“我想减掉三公斤”，我会说“我要在八分钟内跑完两公里”或者“我希望能做30个俯卧撑”。我不再抗拒我喜爱的食物，而是在自己的三餐中添加健康食品。我仍然偶尔可以吃一个汉堡，但我会加上一份沙拉或一个苹果。
