    Most middle school students find it boring to learn Math. But students in Hillbrook School in New York, US, don't think so. Why? Because they are in the school of One Program9 which asks students to work on their own or in small groups on computers to have Math lessons.

    "The program gives the students a new learning style. No traditional classroom can compare(比较) with it. We give each lesson according to the students' interest and their strong and weak points," said Janis Bruce, the school's head teacher, "We're looking for a new way that inetrests students.''

    Students enjoy these Math lessons, especially lessons with video games. They must find out the answers to Math problems to get through the game. One such game is Dimension M. As students move through mazes（迷宫）with their keyboards, some questions come u

    Kim Bogue, a keeper in California, worked overtime to save money for a trip to Thailand to visit her family and friends. She saved over 900 dollars and was planning to buy a ticket but she lost her purse with all her money and credit cards(信用卡).

    Kim looked through the garbage and all the buildings where she worked but came up empty-handed. She went home heartbroken. She believed that she had lost her money forever. While Kim was at home, sad and depressed, a homeless man was searching through the garbage looking for things to sell. As he was looking through a garbage bag, he found something wrapped（被包起来）in a plastic bag.

    The homeless man, who did not want to be identified, took the purse to Sherry Wesley, because Sherry Wesley knew him from her volunteer work at a homeless shelter. The homeless man came to Sherry Wesley with the wad of money and said, "This probably belongs to someone that you work with, can you find the owner?" Sherry Wesley works in one of the buildings that Kim cleans and she knew Kim had lost her purse.

    Kim was amazed when she heard the good news. "I couldn't believe it when they rang me," she said. "He has a very big heart. If someone else had found the purse, the money would be gone. "As a reward（奖励）, Kim gave the man 100 dollars. The homeless man gave half of the money to Sherry Wesley and asked her to donate（捐）it to charity（慈善）for him.

    We all have days when we are down, tired and sad. That's OK. You need days like this, or how would you know you are happy? You'll enjoy your good days even more when you have a few bad days. Even if sadness is a part of life, let's try to make it small. Here are a few simple ways to help you feel better when you are feeling sad.

    1 Stand up straight. This helps your energy flow(流动). When your energy is flowing freely, you can flow too.

    2 Smile! It's easy to do and have good results  This way can not only leave you in a good mood but also bring others a good mood.

    3 Listen to music. It can be your favourite music. Some kinds of music work better than others, so try and find out what kind of music works the best for you.

    4 Take some "me" time. You can find pleasure in reading a book, watching a sunrise or having a hot bath, or something like that.

    Exercise. Even something as simple as taking a walk will get your blood flowing. It is a great way to clear your mind of anything that makes you sad.

    These ways will cheer you up when you are down. But if you are in a deep depression(沮丧), go to see a doctor.
