Seven loyal readers came to the Teens" office two weeks ago. They had a wonderful day learning how
to make a newspaper. But what 1 made them excited was that they had their say (发表意见).
"What most impressed me was 2 I was saying something, I found all eyes were 3 me," said Tang
Shining, one of the students. Her friend, Li Chunbei agreed, and felt very glad that when she was talking,
the editors nodded and even 4 notes.
Students were happy to see the editors listen to their 5 .You may often 6 about being neglected
(忽略) by teachers and parents. 7 before complaining, please 8 that you have already spoken about
your thoughts.
It"s common in China that teachers at school and parents were 9 the ones to tell teenagers what they
should and shouldn"t do. The young are 10 to doing what they are told, rather than thinking by themselves. But then their ideas would be locked in their brains and not be 11 .
A girl wrote to Teens about her family 12 . She used to be very sad because her father seldom talked
and played with her. After years of consideration, she 13 decided to write her father a letter, telling him
about her sadness. To her 14 , the father 15 , saying that he didn"t realize his mistakes. From then on,
he really 16 .
Sometimes, we need to let our 17 be heard, so others can understand our thoughts and feelings.
Don"t be afraid of being 18 for what you have done. You know it is your 19 to speak your mind.
20 your ideas are denied (否定), at least you have tried your best. You will not be left with any regret. |

Then, one day I learnt that he had another car in his garage. In the afternoon he would come home 4

I was curious to see his personal car but did not make it until I 7 to be outside one evening two

saw himself as something else: a Rolls-Royce owner and a(n) 12 . He drove others in his taxi but himself

D. where | | 完形填空。 | On a cold winter day, I waited in line to see my hero, Jack Canfield, the author of The Success
Principles, who was going to deliver a speech on his new book.
During his talk, Jack 1 his wallet, pulled out a hundred-dollar bill, and said, ""Who wants this?" 2
shot up in the audience; people leaned forward to see whom Jack would 3 . But I jumped up, ran up
the 4 to the stage, and grabbed the bill. As I was launching myself in the air, 5 raced through my
mind- was I about to be humiliated (羞辱) in front of 800 people? Would they 6 security guards and
take me from the stage? 7 my desire for bold (大胆的)action was louder than any 8 voice. As I got
the bill from his hand, he said, "That"s it! We can"t wait for the 9 to come to us. We must take 10 to
create what we want!""
After his talk, I 11 to formally meet Jack and boldly asked for his personal e-mail address. Over
the next months, I sent him emails 12 my points of view and dreams with him. He kindly e-mailed back
lots of encouragement. But my life got busy 13 other things. I stopped e-mailing Jack.
A year later, my dreams had worn away. I thought Jack would inspire me into action, like a giant arrow
that would show me the way.
I e-mailed him, and then again - but got no 14 . As I sat down at my computer to 15 my e-mails, I
16 woke up. What was I doing? I was waiting! Now I remembered the crowd, most likely 17 that
hundred-dollar bill, while they sat glued to their chairs.
Usually we all have a "Jack" for whom we wait - whether it"s a person, a place or a thing. We 18
believe the gifts of life are just around the corner, and that everything will come in a(n) 19 way. So we
don"t try. We 20 . But as Wayne Gretzky said,"You"ll always miss 100% of the opportunities you don"t

D. set up | | 阅读理解。 | Wishing to encourage her young son to make more progress on the piano, a mother took her boy to
a Paderewski concert. After they were seated, the mother spotted a friend in the audience and walked
down the aisle to greet her. Seizing the opportunity to explore the wonders of the concert hall, the little
boy rose and eventually found his way through a door marked "NO ADMITTANCE." When the house
lights dimmed and the concert was about to begin, the mother returned to her seat and discovered that
the child was missing.
Suddenly, the curtains parted and spotlights focused on the impressive Steinway on stage. To her
horror, the mother saw her little boy sitting at the keyboard, innocently picking out Twinkle, Twinkle
Little Star.
At that moment, the great pianist made his entrance, quickly moved to the piano, and whispered in
the boy"s ear, "Don"t quit. Keep playing." Then leaning over, Paderewski reached down with his left hand
and began filling in a bass part. Soon his right arm reached around to the other side of the child and he
added a melody. Together, the old master and the young beginner transformed a frightening situation into
a wonderfully creative experience. The audience was amazed and, as it finished, they cheered.
That"s the way it is in life. What we can accomplish on our own is hardly noteworthy. We try our best,
but the results aren"t exactly graceful flowing music. But when we put our trust in the hands of a Greater
Power, our life"s work can be truly beautiful. Next time you set out to accomplish great feats, listen
carefully. You can hear the voice of the Master, whispering in your ear, "Don"t quit, and keep playing." | | 1. The reason why the boy went to the piano was that ________. | A. he was encouraged to explore
B. his mother forced him to have a look
C. he was invited by the pianist
D. he was exploring the concert hall | | 2. What the famous pianist did at the beginning of the concert showed ________. | A. what a great pianist he was
B. what a skilled pianist he was
C. what an upright man he was
D. what a strong man he was | | 3. What did the author really want to tell us in the last paragraph? | A. Not being interrupted by others is important.
B. Life needs one"s own effort combined with guidance and cooperation.
C. It is necessary for us to keep doing everything.
D. It is important for us to get help from a famous person. | | 完形填空。 | "Imagine you are walking along the road. Suddenly you fall over and all the passers-by burst into
laughter. You feel very 1 and think the world is laughing at you . But in fact, five minutes later, they
have 2 it ever happened." The other day when I came across these words in an article, I didn"t agree
with the 3 .
The author thinks the best thing to do in this kind of 4 is to pretend nothing has happened, and so
avoid 5 trouble.
I admit that we should keep 6 because "Your tears will only remind others of what happened, while
your 7 can let them forget it." But this is far from satisfactory. We should do 8 to make things better.
I used to be a(n) 9 girl and not very good at maths. Our new maths teacher asked me a question
and I still remember how I hung my head in 10 when I couldn"t answer it.
"If you don"t know the answer, just tell me." the teacher said, "If you don"t how can I know 11 you
know the answer or not?" All of my classmates burst into laughter. My face turned red but the teacher 12
me to go to the blackboard and 13 what I knew. If I had 14 the words in the article, I would have given
up. But I tried my best. And to everyone"s 15 , I succeeded! The teacher smiled and said, "Well done! I
16 you could do it!"
Since then, I have become active in maths as 17 as in other subjects. I used to think doing maths
exercises was a waste of time. But now, I know 18 I do can make things better. Everyone is the 19 of his
own fate.
