If a friend does a big favor for us，it's a good idea to write them a thank-you note．But how many of us actually sit down to do this？
"People don't seem to walk around giving thanks to people quite often，" Amit Kumar from University of Texas said．Why are people hesitant （猶豫的） about sending thank-you notes？And how do people feel when they receive one？
Kumar and his team asked some students to write a thank-you note to another person via email．Then，they asked both the writer and the recipient （接受者） how sending or receiving these notes made them feel．
They found that the students didn't like to write the notes because they felt like they had to think too much about them．They worried about what to say and how to say it．The recipients，however，enjoyed the notes． "When you are a recipient，you focus on the warmth of the note，" Kumar says． "How heartfelt was it？How friendly and warm？"
The writers also thought it might be awkward （尷尬的） for the recipient to receive a thank-you note．But this was not the case． "They （recipients） feel quite happy，" Kumar says． "They don't really feel awkward at all．"
If people knew that writing a thank-you note could have such a big impact （影響） on others，they would do it more often，Kumar says．"Simple，small changes in our everyday lives can make a big difference in how we treat other people and how we feel，" he says．

2．You may not realize it，but you are doing much more than just studying when you are at school．School is also the place where you learn to get on well with people．But this is not always easy．What can you do if you just don't like one of your classmates？
If you discover that you have problems getting on with your classmates or friends，the most important thing to learn is tolerance．Tolerance is the ability to realize and respect the differences in others．We can not change the way that other people do，so it is important to learn to live happily with them．
Tolerance will make everyone get on better with each other．Getting to know someone may help you understand why they do things differently．Something different does not exactly mean that it is bad．Tolerance teaches us to keep a temperate and open mind．
You need to remember an old saying，"Treat others how you want to be treated"．If you tolerate something，it does not mean that you have to like it．No one is asking you to change who you are or what you believe in．Tolerance just means that you should respect the differences in others and not try to make them change．
It is important to practice tolerance，because it will make everyone's life easier．Learn to accept people for their different abilities and interests．The world is very different，and practicing tolerance in your own school and city can help make a difference．

3．COVID-19（新型冠狀病毒） has made a big difference to the education of about 300 million students across the world In China，it broke out in late January，so the Ministry of Education（MOE） ordered all schools to put off their reopening date to mid-February．But even at the end of March，it was still uncertain when the schools would reopen．
As a result many students in China have already begun studying full-time again-only at home．This may have become the largest online teaching experiment the country has ever seen．
For some students，studying at home has some surprising advantages．Yuan Siyi，who lives in Hubei，used to get up before 6：00 a．m．on school days，but since the start of online schooling，she has got more hours of sleep each morning． "I like online schooling because I have more free time at home．" Yuan said．
However，online learning has its weaknesses compared with studying in a real classroom．"It's difficult to stay focused when I have online classes，because of the computer and phones around．And the teacher on the Internet doesn't know if I am listening to his class carefully，" said Zhu Nanxi，a student from Chongqing． "I feel like floating （漂） in the air when I am having such classes．"
"Online schooling is only temporary during this time．When the new term begins，online schooling won't take the place of classroom teaching at school "said Li Yugang，the head of the MOE．
