To develop students’ willpower(意志力) and character, many schools offer military education and training during the first semester. Here are some tips to help you get through the training.

	1.If you need to stay overnight at your school or military camp(军营), you’d better take some extra clothes. You will probably only be asked to wear your uniform during training. However, it can be hot and you might sweat(出汗) a lot. You will need something else to wear after training so that you can wash your uniform.
2.Don’t eat too much. Otherwise, you might feel uncomfortable when you run and do other exercise.
3.Massage(按摩) your arms and legs before you sleep. This helps your body relax and will help you feel better the next morning.
4.Remember to use sunscreen. You don’t want to get sunburned, do you?
5.Don’t forget to bring some medicine. You might get sick or injured while you’re exercising outside in the hot sun.

Whether yellow, red or white, the onion is a vegetable that you may not know well. The list of its uses in cooking is endless. People have used onions to add flavor (味道) to their foods for thousands of years. Besides onions’ great taste, they are very good for you. They have special chemicals (化学物质) that improve your ability to fight off sickness and you have fewer chances of getting a disease.

No matter how good onions are for you, it is difficult to cut an onion without your eyes filling with tears! When you cut into an onion, irritating (刺激性的) chemicals inside the onion will get into the air. They touch your whole eyes and cause pain. Your eyes make tears to wash away the chemicals and protect your eyes.

Luckily, cooks and scientists have discovered some ways to keep you from crying when you cut up onions:

•Cut the onion under running water. The water will wash away the chemicals before they can reach your eyes.

•Use a fan to blow air over the onion as you cut it. The air will blow the chemicals away from your eyes.

•Put the onion in a fridge for an hour before cutting. This helps make the chemicals in the onion move slowly, so they may not ever reach your eyes.

If you try out these good ideas and still cry while cutting onions, don’t worry. Scientists think if you cut more onions, your body will become more resilient to the onion’s chemicals. So the tears will not last long. If you think about how healthy onions are, you might even call those tears “happy tears”.

What does respect really mean? You show respect when you treat someone or something with care and give priority to（优先考虑）not hurting somebody.

Respecting other people

The best way to respect others is to understand how you would like to be treated. If someone has different ideas from you, you want to show them that you find their differences valuable. It would not be a good world to live in if we were all the same.

Also, listen to others’ opinions without interrupting（打断）, and don’t laugh at people or hurt their feelings. Use good manners when someone is speaking to or serving you. Saying “please” or “thank you” is a useful way that you can be respectful to others.

Respecting the environment

We only have one planet, so we have to take care of it. Remember, respect is not harming other people or things. So throw away trash where it belongs, not on the ground. Recycle so that there isn’t so much trash to be collected. Turn off lights when you are not using them, so energy is not wasted. Treating our Earth with care is a great way to show respect.

Respecting yourself

It means giving yourself worth and value as a human being. If you do not respect yourself, it will be more difficult for you to respect anyone else. You must be honest with yourself and with others. Knowing and exercising good manners and proper conduct（行为）will make you feel good about yourself, and others will respect you in return.

In other words, in order to respect and be respected, we should always put ourselves in others’ shoes. Let us offer each other the respect we all should receive.
