What to expect at high school

Are you super worried about what to expect at high school? Well, guess what? Everyone is! The following tips will help guide you safely through your first day!

Depending on the school you’re at, there could be more subjects and you’ll have more classrooms! 1． Be ready to move around and remember what classrooms they are in.

There are usually more strict teachers and more classrooms! Don’t worry. 2． More friends and more freedom (hopefully)! There will be a lot of differences, so go along with it and don’t feel nervous about the change.

Stay away from students who have higher grades than you! They’re older and you will be an easy target (目标), so watch your back! If they do try to threaten (恐吓) you or anything, tell your parents or teachers to help you with it.

Make sure you have friends to sit with, or you’ll look lonely and feel lonely. Make some new friends to sit with. 4．

5． You don’t need an “A” for everything, but an “F” on everything is not good! Spend enough time on study and take notes during class.

Imagine being able to see perfectly in the dark. This dream has become a reality thanks to a newly developed technology. This technology consists of a thin film that will be placed on the lenses (镜片) of regular glasses, The film is inexpensive to make, easy to produce, and is lightweight. It is actually 100 times thinner than a hair. Yet, despite its tiny size, its performance is impressive; this special film allows you to see in the dark.

This technology is able to transform infrared light (红外光), normally invisible to the human eye, and turn this into images people can see. Compared to animals, humans have very impoverished night vision. Over the years, night vision devices (设备) have been developed to help the medical, industrial, and scientific worlds. Scientists are able to study night-time animals by using infrared cameras, while companies use infrared imaging for food quality control.

Traditional infrared devices work by discovering the beat of an object. They use a cooler in low temperature and can be easily influenced by the heat noise. Such shortcoming led the team into exploring an improved device. Their new device is able to function at room temperature.

As the new technology is unlike the traditional devices, it has many future uses. Once this new night vision is available to all, it could save lives. Drivers will be able to see better at night, especially when driving on unlit roads. Police can use them when searching at night, and hikers who lose their way can feel more confident walking in the dark.

The inventors are excited to make the practical application. “While this is the first experiment, we are actively working to further advance the technology. Of course, the many uses are exciting and seeing in the dark opens up a new world for all,” said Mohsen Rahmani, lead developer of the technology.

Do you still remember what happened on your first day of school? I still remember my first day of school. On that day, I hurried to my science class in the morning and found a seat in the back. I waited there for 15 minutes before the bell rang. The science teacher told us about some class rules. No one talked to me nor did I talk to anyone else. I was one of those very shy girls. After the science class, I had an English class. I thought it would be boring but it turned out to be very funny. When the classes of the morning ended I went to lunch. I sat outside the dining room with no one to talk to and no food because I was too nervous to join the lunch line. I kept looking around hoping to see someone I knew but I never saw anyone.

Lunch ended and I went to have my art class. I was the first one there and not even my teacher was there yet. So I sat at my desk and started drawing some pictures. I didn’t notice the rest of the class walking in or the girl that was standing behind me till I was surprised by the voice, “So what are you drawing?” It was a girl who had really long hair. She ended up being my best friend and one of the kindest and liveliest girls I know.

In the next class meeting, the teacher asked us to talk about the past holiday. I was glad to make some new friends in the class. The first day of high school was hard for me but I got through it.
