10．Dear young musicians，
Thank you for agreeing to take part in our Music Day．The whole idea of the day is for music students around the area to meet other players and receive expert teaching from our guests，six professional players．In the evening，you will perform the pieces you have worked on during the day at a concert which your friends and family can attend．
After you have registered at the reception，go to the main hall．First，there will be a short performance by our professional musicians who are joining us for the day．After this you will go int o your classes to practice on your own instruments for the evening concert．There will also be a chance to experiment with a different instrument from the one you normally play，and see if you enjoy playing something more unusual-we have several instruments to choose from!
The first part of the day will finish at 5 pm，when parents can collect students．For those remaining in the hall until the evening concert at 7 pm，there will be DVDs for you to watch，although you should also bring something to do while you are waiting．A change of clothes is required for the evening-black trousers or a skirt and white top-so unless you are going home at 5 pm，you will need to have this with you at the start of the day．
If for whatever reason you cannot attend the evening concert，you must tell us as soon as possible，as we need to know numbers in order to prepare the stage．We look forward to seeing you at the Young People's Music Day．

9．Kids'health：Four steps for fighting stress
Everybody gets stressed from time to time．（71）CSome ways of dealing with stress
-like screaming or hitting someone-don't solve much．But other ways，like talking to someone you trust，can lead you to solving your problem or at least feeling better．
Try taking these four steps the next time you are stressed：
（1）Get support．When you need help，reach out to the people who care about you．Talk to a trusted adult，such as a parent or other relatives．（72）FThey might have
had similar problems，such as dealing with a test，or the death of a beloved pet．
（2）Don't take it out on yourself．Sometimes when kids are stressed and upset they take it out on themselves．Oh，dear，that's not a good idea．Remember that there are always people to help you．Don't take it out on yourself．（73）A
（3）Try to solve the problem．After you're calm and you have support from adults and
friends，it's time to get down to business．（74）EEven if you can't solve it all，you can solve a piece of it．
（4）Be positive．Most stress is temporary （暫時的）．Remember stress does go away，
especially when you figure out the problem and start working on solving it．
These steps aren't magic，but they do work．And if you can stay positive as you make your way through a tough time，you'll help yourself feel better even faster．（75）D

A．And don't forget about your friends．
B．Notice your friends'feelings and find a way to help them．
C．Different people feel stress in different ways．
D．You need to figure out what the problem is．
E．Ah，it feels so good when the stress is gone．

G．Then，find a way to calm down．

8．The father's role in the family is important．One researcher says babies cared for by their fathers have greater cognitive （認(rèn)知的） development at one year of age than babies not cared f or by their fathers．Another expert reports that by spending time with their pre-school children，fathers can help to develop children's language ability．Researchers also point out that for school-age children，fathers are one link with the outside world．
Fathers who value education have children who do better in school than those children whose fathers don't value education．What's more，fathers who spend quality time with their children may give their children happy memories which may last a lifetime．
While each father is a unique person who educates children in his own style，good fathers have something in common．
Good fathers attend their children's school activities．They also involve the children in their lives and the adult world by taking them to see the workplace，or by taking them when the car needs to be repaired，etc．
Good fathers expect a great deal from their children，but also accept and support the unique individuals that their children are becoming．
Good fathers rely on explanations and reaso ning rather than force．
Good fathers know their time with children is really an investment in them．
Being an involved father is good for children and good for fathers．Both children and fathers have the opportunity for growth and development．Today's lifestyles are changing．More and more fathers are balancing their personal life，work，and family time．

7．Do you have a hobby-something you really enjoy doing in your spare time？Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you could spend more time on your hobby and less time at work？Maybe it's not an either/or situation．Perhaps you can do both at the same time．
When choosing a career，one of the things you must consider is your interests．Why then do so many people not even think about their hobbies when a hobby is，in fact，an interest？Perhaps it's because even Webster's Dictionary defines a hobby as"a pursuit （消遣，嗜好） outside one's regular occupation （職業(yè)）"．Maybe this is a rule you should break．After all，no one ever said your hobby had to stay separate from your occupation．In addition people are usually very skilled at their hobbies．The combination of interest and skill is a very compelling （令人信服的） reason to choose a particular career．
"Who's going to hire someone who loves making beaded （串珠狀的） jewelry？"you may ask yourself．Good question．Don't wait for s omeone to hire you．Start your own business．That may be the best way to combine your hobby with your career．Those with hobbies that involve creating things，i．e．jewelry，clothing，or pottery，may do well to sell those items on their own．Before you go forward with your plans，though，you should find out whether being an entrepreneur （企業(yè)家） is for you．
When you attempt to turn your hobby into a career，don't forget to do your homework．Even though you may have enjoyed training your pet birds to sing the national song，that doesn't mean you're suitable to be an animal trainer．Be sure to research your career choice completely．There may be aspects of it that just aren't for you．In that case，stick to your day job，as they say，and save your hobby for your free time．

6．English is a very interesting language．It has borrowed words from many other languages．Immigrants coming into the United States have contributed many words to the language，which have kept their original pronunciation．"Coolie"and"kowtow"were taken from the Chinese language，"kamikaze from the Japanese，"shampoo"from India，"blitz"from German，"amigo"and"Los Angeles"from Spanish and so on．
Many students have studied English for years，some as many as eight．However，some students still have difficulty in speaking fluent English．Some know many words but are unable to discern them when native speakers use them．In our Oral English classes we will focus on speaking and listening to native English speakers．For this reason，because we are trying to train your ears to hear English and your mouths to speak intelligible （易理解的） English，we will have a rule that ONLY ENGLISH will be spoken in our English classes．Anyone speaking Chinese in class will be required to pay a fine in order to encourage the speaking and understanding of English．If teachers enter a classroom and discover that anyone is speaking Chinese，they will require everyone in the room to pay the fine．It is everyone's job to enforce the English-Only rule．It is for your bene fit．It is because we want to accustom your ears to hearing English．
Other subjects may be learned only from books but the only way to learn a foreign language is to SPEAK IT!Students are often nervous about speaking in class at first but we hope to make the classes fun，so you will forget your nervousness and learn to speak out．Enjoy your classes．
