I remember when I was growing up， my mom always said， "Half the fun of doing anything is sharing it with others．" It's so true． Friends allow us to enjoy the taste of our success and our joys and comfort us in our challenging moments． They provide a mirror for us to learn more about ourselves． I have always looked at friends as the family members． They enrich our lives． As Robert Louis Steven once said， "A ① friend is a present which you give yourself．"
To be a good friend， ② 成为一个年的听众是很重要的．Hear what your friend says first rather than making conclusions （结论） quickly． Sometimes it is useful to repeat their words back to them， it can help them to realize whether their words were what they wanted to say．
Patience is also important in being a good friend． You know the old golden rule． "Care for others in the way you would like them to care for you．" The support of a friend during a difficult time could make a difference between success and failure． ③ Encouragement is the best gift that can change a person's life ．
We should choose our friends carefully， because they can have a huge influence in our life． As someone told me "Your friends are like the button （按钮） on a lift． ④ Sometimes they will take you up ， sometimes they will take you down ．"

The scientists who did the study think there are some reasons for the big fall in health．First，too many of today's kids are overweight． Thatmakes it harder for them to run fast．Second，kids today don't get enough exercise．The doctor says that kids should take exercise at least 60 minutes every day．That's why ③ 学生在学校上体育课是重要的．
So what should kids do？lf you don't want your mom and dad to think they are faster than you，don't spend a lot of time looking through the Internet，watching TV or movies．Instead，do things that will get you up and to move．

Critical thinking（批判性思维） is trying to improve the way you think． People use critical thinking in every area of life to solve problems and evaluate claims（评估主张）．
Like every other skill， critical thinking takes practice． When a problem comes our way， we need to think critically to decide how to solve it． When we see an advertisement， for example， we should stop and think． Advertisements are made to make people feel certain that they are true， and then people can buy the products． But is what the advertisement says true？ Is it making a claim？ Or does it only interest us？ Critical thinking is important and stops us from making poor choices． In fact， we are using it if we ask questions naturally about what we see．
Practice makes perfect． While you are growing in critical thinking， you'll become a wiser and more thoughtful person． There are many ways of doing practice． Here are a few．
★ Read about a topic people disagree on． Look at articles or books on all sides of the subject． For each side of the subject， think carefully and evaluate it．
★ When you see or hear a claim， ask questions about it． Who is making the claim and why？
★Evaluate your own thinking． Where and why do you think uncritically？ How can you improve？
Critical thinking should be part of everything we do． It may help you to succeed at work or school ．Make yourself into a habit of critical thinking． Change your thoughts and change your world．
