Bad things happen to many of us. Something makes you sad, angry, or disappointed. But you still have to get up and go to work. Everything others say to you sounds stupid. Everyone seems to trouble you from time to time. Luckily, you can do something about it. .

. If you're mad, be mad. If you are sad, be sad. This does not allow you to be rude to others. It just means that you need to recognize and accept your bad mood (情绪) to be able to do something.

You can try to keep your bad mood a secret and put on your happy mask. But guess what! You're fooling nobody around you but yourself. The best thing to do is to tell the people you work closely with what is happening to you. Just simply tell them "Listen, I'm in a really bad mood today. . If I bite your head off, I will say sorry in advance (预先)."

Spend a few moments trying thinking of at least one or two things that aren't all bad: .

Take some quiet time. . Sit and work somewhere peaceful alone. Take a   relaxing long bathroom break. Consider going home early or taking the day off.

A. Have a walk in your lunch break

B. Here are some ways to turn around a bad day

C. I'm not sure why, but it has nothing to do with you

D. Accepting that you're in a bad mood is not that hard

E. Something that you look forward to, or something nice that happened recently

You might have a friend or a classmate who remembers every single detail. How can he or she make it? A good memory is often seen as something that comes naturally and a bad memory as something that cannot be changed.

Take an interest

We all have the same opinion that we can easily remember the things we are interested in and forget the ones that bore us. One way to "make" yourself more interested is to ask questions-the more, the better!

Researchers have found that information organized in groups can be easy to remember. You can use this by organizing the materials you are studying. Try grouping similar knowledge together, or make a mind map of textbook reading to help group the information. Then when you learn more about that subject, you understand that better. Be sure things are clear in your mind. If not, ask questions until you understand!

What's more, when you're learning new materials, take the time to think about the relationship between the present information and what you've already known.

Take physical exercise

Physical exercise is also important for your memory, because it increases your heart rate and sends more oxygen to your brain, and that makes your memory work better.

So the next time you are learning new information, you can use the methods above. I'm sure that you will improve your memory and get more out of it.

A. Then it helps you remember information.

B. Exercise also reduces stress which is very bad for the memory.

C. It's not hard to explain why schoolboys remember football results easily but can't remember English words.

D. However, actually there are plenty of things that you can do to improve your memory.

E. Organize things in groups

 Do you have trouble sharing your thoughts or worry no one will listen if you do? Finding the words to explain how you feel isn't always easy.

 Making your voice heard means understanding that your words matter and your opinions count. Dr. Julia Clements is a psychologist (an expert in thoughts and feelings). She says speaking up means"expressing your views, thoughts and feelings, not bottling them all up, and being open to hearing the thoughts, feelings and views of others too."

 Making yourself heard isn't about shouting the loudest: in fact you don't have to use your voice at all. You can express what you like and don't like or what you want for the future by writing or drawing instead, says Clements. "It is about finding ways to share what matters to you," she explains.

 Sharing your feelings with a person you trust will help you make sense of them. Scientists have discovered that sharing your feelings triggers(触发)a feel-good chemical in your brain. The chemical makes you feel relaxed and calm. Your voice can make a big difference to other people too, including friends and siblings. Jaime Thurston works with a charity. She gives kindness lessons in schools. She says"You can spread kindness and happiness simply by speaking. With a few kind words, you could help someone feel good about themselves or let them know they are supported."

 Clements suggests practising conversations with friends or parents on the way home from school and seeing if you have different opinions about something. If you're struggling to explain your feelings, find a way that feels right for you, whether it's talking face-to-face or writing it down. When you' re ready, "Take a deep breath and believe in yourself," says Thurston. "Know that your opinion matters."

"How are you?" is a nice question. It's a friendly way that people greet each other. But when a man says"How are you?", he hopes to hear the answer"Fine", even if his friend isn't fine. The reason is that"How are you?" isn't really a question, and"fine" isn't really an answer. They are like saying"Hello" or"Hi".

 Sometimes people also don't say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks"Do you agree(同意)?", other people may be thinking, "No, I don't agree." But it doesn't sound very polite (礼貌的), so they often say, "I'm not so sure." It is a nicer way.

 When you want to finish talking with your friend, you may say"I have to go now." Sometimes you give an excuse, "I have much homework to do." and so on. This is a polite way to stop a conversation and it doesn't hurt(伤害) people's feelings.

 People don't always say exactly what they think. And it's a part of the game of language.

Many students find it hard to make good friends. To solve the problem, I plan to share my advice. 

Find chances to meet people. For example, sit somewhere with others when you are at school, especially at lunchtime. It doesn't have to be a crowded table, but try to choose one with at least two other people. Remember: Friends never knock on your door when you stay at home. 

        ▲   Joining in club activities is a great way to find other people who have the same hobbies as you. If you enjoy listening to music or singing, joining a music club is a good choice. More importantly, you can make friends there. 

Volunteer(自愿) for a group you care about. By working together, you can build friendships with others. You may spend your time at a hospital helping the people in need with other warm-hearted friends.
