Farah was sitting in the kitchen going over the party list with her mother. The exams were over and Farah wanted to invite her friends for a party.

“Farah, aren’t you going to invite Hafsa?”her mother asked. Hafsa had been her best friend since childhood.

“Mother, you know I am now a part of Purple Girls Club and we have some rules about people we can be friends with,”Farah answered.

“Really? And what are the rules?” her mother asked.

“Well, only very pretty girls can be part of our group. And Hafsa is so...you know...dark.”

“I cannot believe it,”her mother said angrily.

As Farah left the kitchen, her father called her from the living room. Farah went to her father and paled when she saw the exam report in his hands.“Farah, what has happened to your grades? You have failed in Mathematics,” her father said.

She had no answer. The truth was that the activities of Purple Girls Club left her with very little time for studies.

“Farah, it says that you can take part in supplementary exams(補考). If your grades don’t improve then, I’ll cancel your trip to Spain.”

Farah went to her room and called Gina, the leader of Purple Girls Club. “Gina, can you help me to complete my notes before the exams?”

Gina laughed. “Exams? Who cares about exams?”

One by one, she called her friends in the club but no one seemed to care or wanted to help.Farah knew Hafsa would help her.She also knew Hafsa had been hurt by her, but Hafsa said, “ If you need any help ,just let me know. We can study together till your exams.”

Next Monday, two friends entered the school together.

We've all been blamed (責(zé)備) wrongly sometimes in our lives. How do we deal with it? Not with anger, hurt and tears, but in a collected way…

●If you are wrongly blamed, let others know of the true state of things at once. Do it calmly and clearly — if you lose your temper, people will stop listening or become defensive.

●If you don't find a sympathetic ear, find a person who will hear you out — a teacher, a parent, a friend, or a brother or sister who believes in you.

●If you've been in trouble before, it may be easy for people to doubt you. So win your respect back in their eyes by behaving with honesty.

●If what you are blamed for is something unimportant, sometimes it's better to smile it off.

●If you've been blamed for something serious, it's important to put your side of the story forward quickly and truthfully.

Just remember:

▲Respect your friends' secret if you don't want to be wrongly blamed for making them known.

▲Don't blame others without first getting proof of their wrong doing.

▲Putting the blame on someone else for what you have done wrong is weakness. Admit your mistake quickly.

▲If someone else is wrongly blamed, stand up for that person.

▲Don't pass the responsibility to others.

The Science of Risk-Seeking

Sometimes we decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weight the risk and the reward, the risk seems worth taking. 1. Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise and scare the rest of us. Why? Experts say it may have to do with how our brain work.

The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans. Risk-taking were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring. 2. As the quality of risk-taking was passed from on ration to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk.

So why aren’t we all jumping out of airplanes then? Well, even 200,000 years ago, too much risk-taking could get one killed. A few daring survived, though, along with a few stay-in-the-cave types. As a result, humans developed a range of character types that still exists today. So maybe you love car racing, or maybe you hate it.3.

No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range, scientist say that willingness to take risk increases during your teenage years.4. To help you do that, your brain increases your hunger for new experience. New experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well.

5., for the risk-seeker a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active.

As experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking, we’ll continue to hit mountains, the waves or the shallow end of the pool.

A. It all depends on your character.

B. Those are the risks you should jump to take.

C. Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival.

D. Thus, these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest.

E. This is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world.

F. However, we are not all using the same reference standard to weight risks and rewards.

G. New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation.
