Most middle school students find it boring to learn Maths. 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 Maths lessons.

“The program gives the students a new learning style. No traditional classroom can compare(比較) 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 interests students. ”

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

Frank Lee had to answer the question: What is 5+(6×3)? He calculated on paper quickly because there was just a minute left to play.

“I was right,”said Frank, 14, as he ended the game with a high score(高分).“This really makes maths lessons more exciting, since we are fighting to learn better. ”

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.

1Stand up straight. This helps your energy flow(流動(dòng)). 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.

3Listen 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(沮喪), go to see a doctor.
