The mostimportant thing to keep in mind when going into high school is to be yourself.Besides, I don't know what your middle school was like, but high schoolteachers will not care about things such as how much homework you already havein one night. It's best to just learn to deal with things and manage your timewisely so you can achieve everything you need to.

I'm notgoing to lie. The first day is kind of frightening (令人恐惧的). But you'll get usedto it. Don't be afraid of anyone; upperclassmen will pick on you more if youlet them know you're afraid. Just take it easy. Making some friends and stayingwith them will greatly help you get used to high school quickly. After thefirst week it's really not bad at all. Don't worry.

It'strue that many dads in the wild aren't interested in parenting, but there aresome that work pretty hard to give their little ones a good start. Maybe one ofthese dads will make you remember your own dad!
The malegiant water bug (雄性负子蝽) doesn't seem to mind a heavy load (负荷物) on his back forhis kids. The female puts about 100 to 150 eggs on the back of the male, andthen she leaves. Once the female is gone, the male has to look after the eggs.It usually takes one to two weeks for the eggs to hatch (孵化). The father giantwater bug jumps around to make sure the growing eggs get enough air and water.All this time he can't fly because of the weight of the eggs growing rapidly onhis back.
Nowlet's turn to the male stickleback fish. When the mother leaves after layingher eggs, the father tends his young. If the young fish go toofar away, their father helps with their safe return by carrying them back inhis mouth. The male stickleback looks after all his young — as many as 100 —until they can live on their own.
Asimilar example can be found in emperor penguins (帝企鹅) living in cold areas.The male emperor penguin goes without food while looking after his egg until ithatches. For about 62 to 67 days, the egg stays on top of the father's feet, invery cold temperatures that drop down to -39°C. As a result, the father maylose nearly 50 percent of his body weight while waiting for his baby penguin tobe born!

He 52 mefor a long walk in Central Park, listened 53 to me, and finally said, “That sounds like a reallygood idea, but it would be an even better idea for someone who didn’t 54 have a good job.” That logic made some 55 to me, and he 56 me to think about it for 48 hours beforemaking a final decision. Seen in that light, it really was a difficult choice, 57 finally, I decided I had to give it a 58 .
