Teen Dating can be fun if you are aware of its pros and cons and are also aware of the ways to protect yourself. There are a couple of suggestions you would like to know before you are out for dating. Do not go out for dating with somebody whom you have seen only a few times and not known much about. Before leaving for a date, know the exact plans for the evening and make sure a parent or a friend knows these plans and what time to expect your home. Let your date know that you are expected to call or tell that person when you get in. Similarly, if you leave party with someone you do not know well, make sure you tell another person you are leaving and with whom. Ask a friend to call and make sure you arrive home safely. No matter how good the person appears to you, trust your inner instincts (直觉). If a situation makes you uncomfortable, try to stay calm and think of a way to remove yourself from the situation without letting your date realize what is going on in your mind. Be aware of your decreased ability to react under the influence of alcohol or drugs and keep yourself in control when out for a date.

When I come across a good article in reading newspapers, I often want to cut and keep it. But just as I am about to do so, I find the article on the 1 side is as much interesting. It may be a discussion of the way to 2 in good health, or advice about how to 3 and conduct yourself in society. If I cut the front articles, the opposite one is likely to suffer 4 , leaving one half of it or keeping the text 5 the title. Therefore, the scissors (剪刀) would stay before they start, 6 the cutting would be halfway done when I find out the 7 result. Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time, both worth your 8 . You can only take up one of them; the other has to wait or be 9 up. But you know the future is unpredictable-the changed situation may not 10 you to do what is left behind.

Without it we would starve to death. Whether in primitive (原始的) countries or in more advanced societies, man"s food needs are the same. 2_____ But primitive people eat only the food which can be grown near their homes, whereas people in more advanced societies eat food which is often grown many thousands of miles away from their homes. Primitive people are satisfied with less kinds of food, therefore we can say people"s wants are different although their needs are the same. 3_____ Clothing is necessary to regulate (调节) the heat of our bodies. In different climates and in different seasons we need more or less clothes. We also dress differently for other reasons. 4_____ Shelter, the third of our needs, depends on climate, the skill of the builders, one"s social position, and the material which can be used. 5_____ The three-bed-roomed house of the average family would not be grand enough for a very rich family, but a modern house with many of the material comforts were denied to the kings and queens in the past. | A. Food, Clothing and Shelter. B. Human Needs C. We always change our style of clothing for different occasions, such as work, sports, parties. D. We all need food to live a healthy life. E. We want to live comfortably. F. The simple shelter of the primitive people would not do for us, and yet it satisfied their needs. G. The same is true of the second of human needs. | 阅读理解。 | Every kid wishes to be an adult. But now as grown-ups, some adults find they cannot leave childhood behind. They become "kidults" (kid+adult). Being a kidult has become a lifestyle-choice among young people across Asia. Some kidults collect toys they once played with. Hello Kitty, Garfield, and Snoopy have many adult fans around the world. It is not unusual to see a 20-something woman with a big, Garfield-shaped cushion on her sofa or a Hello Kitty mobile phone accessory. Other kidults still enjoy children"s stories and fairy tales. For example, Bloomsbury even published the Harry Potter novels with an adult cover. That way, no one else on the subway will know that an adult is actually reading a children"s book! "Kidults can be like vitamins to society. Adults who value their childhood and hold on to pure, child-like emotion may be needed in such a rough and dry society," said Lee Sojung, professor of Foreign Studies at Hankuk University (韩国外国语大学). He added that kidult culture may fill the generation gap between adults and kids. It could give children and their parents books, movies, and cartoon shows to enjoy together. He may be right. Tim Greenhalgh, a professor, explained that some kidults just refuse to grow up. They value childhood because life in a busy and stressful city frightens them. Kidults would like to forget their age and openly show their fear of society and adulthood. | 1. We can infer from the article that _____. | A. Kidults like to have vitamins very much B. Kidults miss their childhood so much that they can"t give up their toys C. Bloomsbury knows some kidults don"t want people to know that they are kidults D. Some toys are so interesting that even adults like them very much | 2. According to the author, being a kidult is good in some way except that _____. | A. it can help kidults feel relaxed B. it is helpful to solve some social problems C. it can make people loyal to one"s parents D it can improve the relationship between parents and their kids | 3. According to the writer, _____. | A. our society is very dull B. kidults have mental problems C. being a kidult is nothing wrong D. some people can never grow up |
