Having Fun “Growing” and “Stealing”

They can earn some e-money and buy more “seeds”, “pets” and even “houses”. Joyce interviewed some young people. Here are their opinions. Harold:I don"t quite understand why they are so mad about the childish game, maybe they are just not confident enough to face the real world. Allan:I enjoy putting some “bugs” (臭虫) in my friends’ gardens and we’ve become closer because of the game. Having fun together is the most exciting thing about it. Laura:You know, people in the city wish for the life in the countryside. It relaxes my work pressure; besides, it gives me the exciting experience of being a “thief”. Ivy: Well.

Did you know that 11,000 people die every day from smoking? Did you know that people die every day from breathing smoke other people’s cigarettes? Tobacco smoke has 43 ingredients that may cancer. If smokers had learned these when they were young, they probably would never have started smoking. Most smokers try first cigarette when they are teenagers. Often, they start smoking because they think that it makes them look more . Sometimes they start smoking because their friends tell them that it’s cool. If teenagers are told that half of them will die before the age of 65 from smoking cigarettes, how can they still think it’s cool to smoke? One of the biggest problems is cigarette advertisements. Tobacco companies tell the truth to teenagers about cigarettes. After watching the advertisements on TV or looking at the posters in which people ride horses or play in a rock band, young people often think that smoking be cool.

Teens Enjoy Reading
According to a survey on reading conducted by the U.S. National Education Association (NEA), young Americans say reading is important—more important than computers and science. Over 50% of the twelve to eighteen years old children interviewed said they enjoy reading a lot. Seventy-nine percent find it stimulating and interesting, and 87% think it is relaxing. Most of those surveyed (68%) disagree with the opinion that reading is boring, or old-fashioned. Teens Read Variety of Material Over half the teenagers interviewed said they read more than ten books a year. The results also showed that middle-school students read more books than high school students. Most teens (66%) like to read fiction, such as novels and stories. Only 26% were interested in non-fiction, such as biographies and history books. Sixty-four percent of students liked reading ‘stories about people of my own age’ as their favorite topic. Mysteries and detective stories came second on the list at 53%. Just under 50% said they were interested in reading about their own culture and heritage. Other Interests Of the teenagers who participated in the survey, 49% said that libraries are where they get most of their books. However, many complained that their school libraries do not have enough up-to-date, interesting books and magazines. Even though many teenagers in the U.S. enjoy reading, they still have other interests. When asked which activity would be the most difficult to give up for a week, 48% said listening to music. TV would be difficult to give up for 25% of those surveyed. Another survey which is published by www. SmartGirl.com studied the differences between teenage boys’ and girls’ reading habits.

As Danny put his lunch tray onto the cafeteria table, milk spilled all over his sandwich. He sat down, hung his head forward, looking at the food in front of him. Frowning, he began peeling the soggy milk-soaked bread (浸透牛奶的) from his sandwich. “This is the worst thing I’ve ever done!” he said, “It’s not that bad,” said his friend Elena, who was sitting across from him. “Just get another sandwich.”
“Sandwich? What sandwich? I am talking about the talent contest. It’s only two weeks away and I don’t know what I’m doing! Everybody will laugh at me. There’s no way to avoid it!” “Don’t be so negative, Danny,” said Elena as she rolled her eyes. “You’re going to be great, You’re very capable. You have the skills to do just about anything.” Danny moved his lunch tray to the side and rested his head on the table. “Sit up Danny,” ordered Elena, “I have an idea. Let’s brainstorm a list of things you could do. We’ll divide the list into categories or groups. Let’s start with music. You play the piano, right?” “I stopped taking lessons in the third grade,” said Danny. “What about singing a song?” suggested Elena. Danny shook his head no. “Let’s move on to another category.” “What about performing magic tricks?” asked Elena, as she twisted thin strands of hair around her finger. “I don’t know how to play magic tricks!” Danny almost shouted. “Elena, how did I get myself into this huge mess?” “Stop being so…” Elena paused, “That’s it, DRAMATIC!” Elena shouted excitedly. “You could do a dramatic reading. You definitely have the talent for it. Mrs. Pace always calls on you to read aloud in class. You could read a play aloud. Maybe you could even get extra credit from Mrs. Pace. She rewards students with points for doing extra reading work.” Danny thought for a minute. Then he smiled. “Elena,” Danny said, “You are a great friend!” Elena smiled back. “I just want to make sure you are a bright, shiny star when you step out on stage.” 小题1:Elena and Danny were talking ______.A.in the cafeteria | B.in the classroom | C.in a theatre | D.at home | 小题2:Danny was unhappy because of ______.A.the spilled milk | B.her friend Elena | C.the talent contest | D.the milk-soaked bread | 小题3:With the help of Elena, Danny finally decided to ______.

阅读下面短文,根据所读内容,在文章后第56-65小题的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。 注意:每个空格只填一个单词 People visit other countries for many purposes. Some travel on businesses; others travel to visit interesting places that are only found in other countries. Wherever you go, and for whatever purpose, it’s important to be safe. A tourist can attract a lot of attention from local people. While most people you meet when travelling are sure to be nice, there are dangers—theft being the most common. So prepare for your trip in advance. As you prepare for your trip, make sure you have the right paperwork. You don’t want to get to your destination (目的地)only to find you have the wrong visa, or worse, that your passport is about to expire (到期). Also, make sure you travel with proper medical insurance, so that if you are sick or injured during your travels, you can be treated. If you want to drive while you are abroad, make sure you have an international driver’s license. If you need to take medicine with you—such as travel-sickness pills—keep it in its original container(容器). If you don’t, you may find yourself doing a lot of explaining to customs officials at your destination. Buy a guidebook and read about the local customs of the country you are going to. Also, try and learn a few basic words and phrases—don’t assume that the local people will speak your language. When you get to your destination, you’d better use official transport. Always go to the bus and taxi stands, don’t accept rides from strangers who offer you a lift. If there is no meter in the taxi, agree on a price before you get in. If you prefer to stay in cheap hotels while travelling, make sure you can lock the door of your room from the inside. If you are travelling with valuables such as jewelry, or a lot of money, you should ask about a safe for storing them in. Finally, remember to smile. It’s the friendliest and most sincere form of communication, and is sure to be understood in any part of the world!
