你是Nancy。写封信给你的朋友Eli，内容包括： （1)上个星期Eli给你发了请柬，邀请你参加她的女儿

When I first met Nina, I disliked her at once. She was wearing skintight pedal pushers, a flashy, floppy top, and sneakers with no socks - bizarrely inappropriate even at our very informal company. Soon, Nina was doggedly pumping me for information about the new department I was

running, where she hoped to get a permanent job. Not a chance, I thought. Not if I have anything

to say about it However, I didn’t Within a few days she was ‘trying out’，for me. I gave her a moderately difficult, uninteresting, and unimportant project that I didn’t need for months. It took that long for her successor to put in order the mess she had made out of ft Although I couldn’t have prediction exactly what Nina would do，in three minutes I had assessed her as someone who could not be relied on to get a job done.

We all make quick judgments about strangers. Within seconds after we meet someone, We take in a host of details and draw rather large conclusions from them. We may decide in a minute whether it is someone’s nature to be warm or cold, friendly or hostile, anxious or calm, happy or troubled. Unconsciously, we often ask and quickly answer certain questions: Will I enjoy talking to him at this party? Will she make an interesting friend? Will he/she make a good boss / sales manager / secretary for me? If we get to know the person better, we may change our minds. But

we may not have the chance.

From Nina’s inappropriate dress and aggressive behavior. toward me, I’d decided she was pushy. stupid and had poor judgment. I also had a lot of vague impressions I couldn’t explain. It was as if a warning bell went off in my head. Its message: this person was not to be trusted; her behavior. would be unpredictable; she was motivated by a peculiar agenda of her own that I would never understand.

I was using a combination of observation, inference and intuition.

This involves a change of attitude in many ways. Although the process has been going on since you went to middle school, the biggest change is going to take place. Now, instead of taking several subjects, you have chosen one major subject because you find it interesting and worth exploring further. The choice was yours. You also have the goal of getting a degree . The degree and the stages you have to pass through to achieve it give you motivation, even though it may become weak from time to time, and not all parts of the course will be exciting; a sure way to lose interest is to do too little work. It is a law of diminishing returns - the less work you do, the less interest you will have and the more bored you will become. So, regular work is needed to keep up your interest as well as to keep pace with new work.

Another change is in the relationship with teachers. This may well have changed during middle school and high school, but now the whole context is different. You are no longer forced to slay in school all day, and apart from your class time, you organize your own time and place for studying. You are there to study (an active process) rather than to be taught (passive). Your teachers may or may not urge you, but they do want you to share their interest in the subject and they want you to succeed.

Some activities, like discussing and reading, are basic to studying. Make sure that you are doing these efficiently.

Group discussions give you a chance to train yourself to speak and discuss more effectively.

They will fail in their purpose if you keep silent—and if you start off this way, the harder it will become to get out of the situation of being the non-speaking member of the group. In the future you are almost certainly going to have to be good at speaking, so get into the way of talking about your subject now. This is actually more fun than sitting being silently miserable because you are not saving anything. Nobody will think what you say is foolish. Everyone will be thankful not to face awkward silence.

A lot of kids are getting online these days—sharing data, talking about social issues, meeting adults as well as kids, and learning about other cultures. There seems to be everything on the network. Just like any other form. of media, the quality of this massive collection of information is

unequal, and there is good information as well as rubbish. Networks hold great promise: however,

it's also home to people who mean to hurt others or use their technical knowledge to steal from them . Although many Web pages can teach kids useful things, there are some other sites waiting to temp young people who are immature and easily affected.

By now, you may shake your head, but wait, let's try to put the problem into perspective Generally.it's safe for kids to use the Internet. The number of sites considered harmful is between 1% and 3%, which shows about 4.5 million other sites are interesting and educational. Besides, to stop children from using these services just because crimes are being committed online would be like telling them not to attend college because students may have accidents on campus.

What can parents do to protect their children from those harmful sites? The simplest solution is the use of programs which block offensive sites. Such programs are set to screen out certain words likely to appear on”unhealthy”sites. But many sites inappropriate to young people are clever at using words with double meanings that may appear harmless. What's more, not only do the programs fail to do the job satisfactorily, they also take away the decisive role of parents in children's education. A child who downloads bad information or pictures can only be corrected by positive family influence. No filtering program is necessary for a child who has learned to say“no” to sites he knows are inappropriate for him.

Today, when children are exposed to technology at a young age, parents often find themselves lagging behind in computer skills. Surprisingly, this may be the key to your involvement. What is better way to learn about the Internet than to do so alongside your children?

They'll most likely pick it up more quickly than you do, of course, but you'll have the chance to see, and take pride in, your child at work. You may search for information that interests your child together with him and get to know the”friends”he has online, just as you would get to know his other friends.

Thoughtful parents would combine supervision with communication, which is the best way to take advantage of the Internet as a resource while protecting their children. Follow their examples and have fun with kids on the Net!
