Everyone worries. But how do you deal with your worries? Whether your worries are big or small, you can take these steps：

Try to find out what you’re worried about

Sometimes, you will know what you’re worried about. Other times, you might not. Try to find it out first; if you can’t, you can ask for help.

Think of ways to make it better

There is always something you can do to help you feel less worried. Sitting there worrying is no fun and it won’t solve your problem.

Grades at school are often top worries for kids. If you’re worried about grades, ask yourself these questions：

*How do I get ready for class? Do I go over my notes even when there isn’t a test?

*Do I have a good place to do my homework?

*Have I tried different ways of studying?

If your worry is about a fight you had with a friend, you might write down all the things you could do: write a note to him or her, invite him or her to a basketball game, say sorry to him or her, etc. Once you have a list of these things and choose one of them, you can get your friend back.

Ask for help

The next day, Olivia wore her most beautiful dress and put on some make-up（化妆品）. “Why Olivia,” Miss Mitchell said, “You have taken a lot of care with your appearance!” “I want to look my best,” Olivia said. But Penny wore her normal school clothes.

When the cameraman arrived, he was very friendly. “Just ignore（忽略）me, and think that I am not here.” Penny did as she was asked. But Olivia walked across the room several times. Each time she smiled at the camera.

By lunchtime, Penny was so hungry that she ate a lot. But Olivia almost ate nothing. “I wouldn’t want to be caught by camera eating like a cow,” she said.

At break, while Olivia kept posing（摆姿势）for the camera. “Thank you,” the cameraman said right before the final bell rang. “You have all given me a lot to use for my film.”

“When will we see the film? I think that I have a good show.” Olivia asked.

Anything that has been decorated has lost its original meaning,” the cameraman said, smiling.

A middle school in Qingdao received a number of complaints(抱怨) from some parents recently after a P.E. teacher was appointed(任命) as a headteacher. The news led to heated discussions on the Internet.

Many people shared their opinions and stories online. Most of them expressed their support, saying that with less pressure of teaching, a P.E. teacher could pay more attention to the class and the students. And at the news, the Ministry of Education(教育部) said that any teacher in a school can be a headteacher and that their differences among teachers lie only in the subjects they teach.

P.E. is often seen as a less important subject and Chinese students spend more time on subjects like Chinese, math and English. Many people think it does not really matter whether students do well in the P.E. class or not. As a result, some parents believe that a P.E. teacher can’t be a good headteacher.

Does P.E. really not matter to students? Of course not! It’s very important to students’ physical health.

And a strong body can help students study better. For this reason, the ministry also said more attention would be paid to P.E. classes. It’s a good move. The subject will be given as much importance as Chinese or math. In the examinations for high schools, the points for P.E. will rise to be the same as Chinese, math and English, and they should do it step by step so that parents can accept it.

13．According to the first paragraph, what are the parents in Qingdao talking about?

A．A P.E.teacher has less pressure of teaching.

B．A P.E.teacher should pay more attention to students' health.

C．Whether a P.E.teacher can be a headteacher.

14．The difference among the teachers in the same school is ________.

A．their subjects and examination points

B．the attention they pay to P.E

C．the subjects they teach

15．Why do some parents believe that a P.E. teacher can’t be a good headteacher?

A．Because they think P.E.class is not important.

B．Because their children do well in P.E .classes.

C．Because P.E.teachers can’t pay attention to the class.

16．The underlined sentence—“And a strong body can help students study better”—is used to ________.

A．ask all P.E.teachers to be headteachers.

B．show the writer’s opinion.

C．tell students to pay more attention to math and Chinese classes.
