Instead, become your own star and wear the clothes you want. You have to like your body, it says. If you don’t, you will not take good care of it and won’t stay healthy. The book also says that girls must start becoming more confident. If you are confident, you’ll succeed in life. A good way to become confident is to realize that you are as clever as boys.

Other parts of the face change shapes as we get older, but ears do not change their shapes. They only change in size.Reading people’s character from their ears is a very old science. In the past people thought that a person’s ears with color was dangerous. They also thought that the shape of the ears showed if a person was musical or not. Today，too many people believe that the size and shape of the ears help you know if a person is musical.Ears are all different，and each different thing has a meaning. Next time you look at a person，see if his or her ears are large，medium-size，or small. Look at the lobes（耳垂）.Do they stick to the face? Ears that are always red mean that a person may get angry easily. Ears that are always cold and nearly white color mean that a person has a nervous character.（）62.

As there is no air or water, there can be no life of any kind. Mile after mile there are only plains(平原) of dust with mountains around them. Above, the sun and stars shine in the black sky.If you step out of the mountains shadows, it will mean moving from terrible cold into great heat. The moon is also a very silent(安静的) world, for sound waves (声波)can only travel through air. But from the moon, you can see a friendly sight(景色). Our earth is shining more brightly than the stars.

If you do notunderstand the question, you should put up your hand and ask the teacher to repeat the question. If you do not know the answer, it is all right to tell the teacher that you do not know. Then he or she knows what you need to learn.* There is no excuse for not doing your homework. If you are absent (缺席), you should call your teacher or someone who is in your class and ask for the assignment(作业). It is your responsibility (责任) to find out what assignments you have missed. It is not the teacher's responsibility to remind you of missed assignments.* You must not be absent on a test day. If you are seriously ill, call and let the teacher know you will not he there for the test. If your teacher allows make-up tests, you should take the test within one or two days after returning to class. Serious illness is the only reason for missing a test.*Be on time! It is considered(认为) rude to be late. Also it disturbs ot her students.If you must come in late, be sure to do it quietly. Have your books and papers out of your bag before you come into the room. Then go to your seat and sit quietly. In the U.S. it is not necessary to knock before you enter the classroom. If you must leave during class, do so quietly. There is no need to ask the teacher's permission. Entering a teacher's office or any office with a closed door without knocking first is not acceptable. Knock first, then wait to be invited in.*Wearing a hat in class is considered impolite by many teachers. Some teachers may ignore it, but you should ask permission first.31.
