Last Sunday，we went hiking．Early in the morning．we gathered at the school gate at 6 and headed for theSunshine Mountain．Our goal was to reach the top，so we could see the beautiful view．The hike was exhausting and the heat drained our energy．When we finally reached our destination，the whole view was breathtaking．
It was well worth the extra effort because we not onlygot relaxed by enjoying the beauty of nature but also we learned how to smoothaway difficulties，help each other as well as build ourbodies．
In the near future，we each will have our own mountain toclimb．Let's go forward and set a greater goal and aim at ahigher top of the mountain in our life．

10．Horror filled the heart of the World War I soldier as he saw his lifelong friend fall in battle．Trapped there with continuous gunfire over his head，the soldier asked his captain if he might go out into the"No Man's Land"to bring his fallen friend back．
"You can go，"said the captain，"but I don't think it will be worth it．Your friend is probably dead and you may throw your own life away．"The captain's words didn't matter，and the soldier went anyway．
Miraculously he managed to reach his friend，carried him onto his shoulder，and brought him back．As the two of them got there，the officer checked the wounded soldier，then looked kindly at his friend．"I told you it wouldn't be worth it，"he said．"Your friend is dead，and you are seriously wounded．"
"It was worth it，though，sir，"the soldier said．
"How do you mean'worth it'？"responded the captain．"Your friend is dead!"
"Yes sir，"the private answered．"But it was worth it because when I got to him，he was still alive，and I had the satisfaction of hearing him say，'Jim，I knew you'd come．'"
Many a time in life，whether a thing is worth doing or not really depends on how you look at it．

Risking his life in a battle，a soldier，turning a deaf ear to his captain's advice，insisted on bringing hislifelong friend back from"No Man's Land"despite the fact he was probably dead，which，in his view，was worth the risk．
In reality，there is indeed something seemingly unworthy in others'eyesbut extremely worthwhile to us．Therefore，regardless of what others might say，we go ahead as we hold thebelief strongly that it is worth a try．
This reminds me of an experience years ago．A friend of mine，once mistaken for a thief，was deserted by others，who kept urging me never tolast our friendship．However，I，never losing trust in him，remained his friend before he proved innocent．
Take up all your courage and do something your heart tellsyou to do so that you may not regret not doing it later in life．．

The books are the first national-level works of their kind and have been developed by a working group that promotes traditional culture．They will be used by students from autumn this year，the report said．
The set contains four classics from ancient times．Two of the works，The Confucian Analects and Mencius，are for 10th-grade students，while the other two，Great Learning and Dao De Jing，will be used by 11th graders．
The initiative follows a series of steps the authorities have taken in recent years to spread and promote traditional Chinese culture on campus．
Last April，the Ministry of Education released a series of guidelines requiring the inclusion of more information about traditional culture in primary and middle school textbooks，especially those used for subjects such as Chinese Language，history，art and physical education．
The guidelines said students'knowledge of traditional culture will be tested in the senior high school entrance examination and the gaokao，the college entrance exam．

From this autumn，new schoolbooks highlighting the traditional Chinese culturewill be used by senior students，whose knowledge of the country's ancient traditions will alsobe tested in the gaokao．
There're several factors accounting for the move．The set of books are thesignificant component of traditional Chinese culture and provide teenagers withinternal codes of conduct and thus they will play a positive role in theirprocess of growth．Besides，the basic education system hasn't attached enough importance to thelearning of traditional culture for quite a long time，and the textbooks are abeneficial effort to reverse that situation．In addition，learning traditional culture is not solely about recitingtexts-it's about utilizing ancient wisdom to solve current problems．
Personally，I strongly support and welcome the move in that it is aninitiative to bring Chinese traditional culture back．However，considering individualdifferences between students，I am not in complete agreement with the practice that theywill be tested in the gaokao．．

Behavioral scientists have done countless experiments to prove that any human being tends to repeat an act which has been immediately followed by a pleasant result．In one such experiment，a number of schoolchildren were divided into three groups and given arithmetic tests daily for five days．One group was consistently praised for its previous performance； another group was criticized； the third was ignored．
Not surprisingly，those who were praised improved dramatically．Those who were criticized improved also but not so much．And the scores of the children who were ignored hardly improved at all．Interestingly，the brightest children were helped just as much by criticism as by praise，but the less able children reacted badly to criticism，who needed praise the most．Yet the latter are the very youngsters who，in most schools，fail to get the pat on the back．
To give praise costs the giver nothing but a moments thought and a moment's effort一perhaps a quick phone call to pass on a compliment （稱贊），or five minutes spent writing an appreciative letter．
It is such a small investment一and yet consider the results it may produce．"I can live for two months on a good compliment，"said Mark Twain．

The experiments done by the behavioral scientists shows thatthose who were praised improved dramatically and that those who were criticizedimproved also but not so much and that the scores of the children who wereignored hardly improved at all．We can conclude that the praise has a great influence on the students'improving．
I remember the first time that I did lunch．When I got home from schoolas a teenager，my mother went to pick cotton in the field，I wanted to let my mother eat the lunch I did．But I didn't know what to doand how to do it．Although I overcame many unexpected difficulties，the lunch tasted bad，and I felt sorry to tell mymother．Unexpectedly，my mother praised me for it，and so I liked cooking more and more．As a result，I can cook many kinds ofdishes for my families．
Thanks to my mother，it was her praise thatencouraged me to go on．The more praise the child get，the more he can do．．

者意見(jiàn)．下文是一些學(xué)生讀者的回復(fù)．
When you argue with your parents，what will you do？Here are some solutions from
our readers．
Zhang Hui：I was tired of my mom's nagging （嘮叨）．I was easily frustrated because I
had so much work to do．When Mom was complaining about my messy table，I suddenly
yelled at her．Mom stared at me in a strange way．I regretted being so rude to her and
couldn't help crying．Then the next day we had a deep talk．To my surprise，mom said sorry
to me．It made me realize a deep talk with parents is really productive．
Zhou Shuchang：It upset me most that my mother was absent from the first parents
meeting in Senior Three because she was angry with my poor scores．Her absence
embarrassed me．Getting home，I didn't say a word．I decided to write to my mom telling
her what I was thinking of her．
Wang Yang：I love pop songs so much that I always hum （哼唱） the tunes even at
dinner．My father dislikes what he calls"decadent （頹廢的） music"．It makes me fail to
communicate with him．Noticing his disappointment，I decided to do something．I asked
him to listen to some songs I had selected carefully for him and I tried to listen to some
songs that he enjoys very much．Gradually my dad started to accept my songs and now we
have a little in common on music．

Whatwill you do when you argue with your parents？
Threeways are mentioned in the passage to deal with the arguments with parents．We can have a heart-to-heart talkwith them，writeto tell them our opinions and try to find something in common with them．
Thereis usually a generation gap between children and parents．Therefore，it is usually very hard for the two generations to get along verysmoothly．Sometimesquarrels or even conflicts happen between them．However，no matter what our parents do，they always do it for
our good．Sothe key to dealing with the relationship between parents and children is tounderstand each other．
Ionce had a fierce quarrel with my parents because I did not want them tointerfere in my personal affairs．Later，myfather had a sincere talk with me and he told me he could understandwhat I thought．Atthe same time，heshared his opinion，whichdeeply impressed me and narrowed our gap．．
