Do you like crocodiles (鱷魚) ? Do you know anything about crocodiles? Crocodiles appeared about two hundred million years ago. They once lived on the earth together with dinosaurs.

Crocodiles only live where it is wet and hot. They spent most of their time lying around in the mud (泥) or the rivers. The crocodiles’ long tails are used when the animals are swimming. It can be swung (搖擺) with great speed and force (武力). One blow will knock down a man or even a big animal at once. Crocodiles are very well protected against their enemies by the hard bone plates (骨板) which cover most of their bodies, but because of the way their neck are formed, they can only see in front of themselves. With their rows of terrible sharp teeth, they catch food, which may be a fish, an animal or even a careless man, and then hold it below the water until it drowns (淹死). Crocodiles lay their eggs and leave them under leaves or sand. Baby crocodiles have special sharp teeth with which to break their way out of the shells (殼) on their own. Crocodiles were once all over the world. But in the past 50 years, the number of crocodiles has gone down rapidly because of humans. The long-nosed crocodile is shy and because of this, the people of West Africa sometimes catch it for food. But more people hunt them for expensive crocodile leather. Now this kind of ancient animal has to depend on humans to live. Isn’t that terrible?

We all dream about things that we would like to do and things we hope to achieve in the future. But are everybody’s dreams the same? Here are some of the findings of a survey about hopes and dreams, in which thousands of students across China took part.

What are the hopes of teenagers? We received several different answers to the question: what would you like to do after you finish your education? It seems that some students would like to start work as soon as they can, so that they can help offer their parents better lives. Other students hope to go on studying after they finish school and to go to university. Although money is important, many teenagers want to do jobs they like. According to the survey, the most popular choice of job is computer programming.

What are the dreams of teenagers? Teenagers have all kinds of dreams. Some are more realistic (現(xiàn)實(shí)的) than others. For example, many students would like to be volunteers if Beijing could hold the World Cup, maybe working as translators or tour guides. And many students dream of having a trip to every corner of the world one day.

According to the survey, less realistic dreams are also common, but many students reported that they were willing to work hard to achieve their dreams. Quite a few dreamed of becoming famous, perhaps famous sports people or singers. Some students would like to go on exciting trips. One student would love to sail across the Pacific Ocean. And then there are dreams that there is no possibility for students to achieve. Three students would like to be able to fly.

It is clear from the survey that teenagers have similar hopes. It seems that most students hope to have a good education and find a good job. On the other hand, students dream of very different things: good things, and even crazy things. It is very important to dream, so hold on your dreams. One day they may just be realized.

Many top students around us spend lots of time working for the class, but they always get good grades in all subjects. How do they do that? Here are some valuable suggestions.

Studying is a matter of your personal interest, so choose the way you are most comfortable with. Some people like working at night when the house is quiet, while others like doing their work early in the morning. However, others like studying their lessons as soon as they arrive home from school while the work is fresh in their minds. No matter which way suits you, try to do your best.

Studying is your business and the business comes before entertainment. When you are studying, don’t answer phone calls, don’t watch TV shows and don’t eat snacks. Studying is the only thing in your mind. Nothing can pull your attention away from what you are studying.

Studying is like eating. You should eat a little at a time. You can plan what to do today, but don’t do too much. When you can’t finish the work you planned to do, you will feel stressed and may lose confidence. On the other hand, you will not study well without a good plan. It all depends on how you manage your time.

The students who hand in a clearly written paper are already half way to get an “A”. Tidy papers are likely to get higher marks than messy ones. When you write clearly and do your work carefully, the thoughts in your mind are clear. You are able to make fewer mistakes.
