The bus station, a street corner in the city, the caf ? at the mall… American teenagers like to hang out
at these places.
I want to tell you this is true. American teenagers have far too much time to waste (浪费). Because
they have short school days and their parents are busy at work day and night, US teenagers find happiness
in doing nothing.
"What do you do all day in that park?" A mother will ask her son or daughter, with some reason. "I
don"t know, just hang out," her child might answer.
Of course, some kids keep busy with after-school sports, test-prep (测验准备) classes and clubs. I
did some of these activities, too, but still found time to hang out in the park. For hours, my friends and I
would sit on the stairs talking, playing games, or just watching the cars drive by … doing nothing.
Was it all a waste of time? Were we up to "no-good"? Maybe. When I think about it now, I can"t
believe I had so much free time as a teenager! Now, I should spend any free moment at the gym (健身房), writing a story or learning a new language. It seems uninteresting, but I do miss "hanging out". |

What is the sky(天空)? Where is it? How high is it? What lies above it? These questions are hard to
answer, aren’t they?
Is the sky blue? The sky has no color. We know that there is air around the world. When planes fly,
they need air to lift their wings(翼) . Planes cannot fly very high because when they go high, the air gets
thinner. If we go up about 1,200 kilometers from the earth, we find there is no air.
Perhaps(也许) we can answer some of our questions now. The sky is space(空间). In this space
there is only the sun, the moon and all the stars.

Today Newtown is a clean place, but many years ago there were millions of rats there. The rats even attacked (攻击) the cats and dogs. Sometimes many of them tried to bite men or women at night. The rats
were very large in size and they harmed (伤害) many people.The city office ordered every one to kill rats. However, most people were lazy, so they did not kill many rats.
The city office could do nothing with the citizens and could do nothing with the rats, either. Some time
later, they had to pay some money for each dead rat. That made the people very happy. They at once
began to kill rats. They got as many dead rats as they could. And some of them even stopped their own
work to kill rats because they could get more pay. Every day a city official(官员) put all the dead rats
together. He was very busy doing that, because sometimes a man brought hundreds of them in one day.
Two weeks later, there were not so many rats in the city as before, but people still brought many dead rats to the city office. The city officials felt surprised at this but at last they found out people were stealing the
dead rats they had collected. So the city official had to order his men to dig a big hole and put the dead
rats in it. Soon there were no more rats and the city did not have to pay any more money for that. |

Some students think it difficult to learn English well. That’s because they don’t find the right way. I
think reading is very important for students. The more you read, the better you’ll understand. Reading
is helpful to listening, speaking and writing.
If you often read English aloud, you’ll improve your listening. On the other hand, listening a lot can
help you to read better. Reading English everywhere when you are free, if you wish. You can get a lot
of knowledge when you read. Sometimes you need to express your ideas, you can either speak or write.
That means you are using what you learned from reading. The same as Chinese, the more you read, the
better you can write. If you want to remember something, you should read again and again. So from now
on, you’d better do more reading. It’s a good way to learn English well.
1. Some students think it difficult to learn English well because ______.
A. they don’t work hard
