Many teenagers feel that the most important people in their lives are their friends. They believe that their family members, especially their parents, don't know them as well as their friends do. In large families, it is often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they can only go to their friends for advice.
It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or many friends. Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking among themselves on the phone. This communication is very important in children's growing up, because friends can discuss something difficult to say to their family members.

If Confucius（孔子）were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. He’d need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.
While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought.  It’s nothing personal.  Most Americans don’t even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.
But this doesn’t mean that Americans don’t care about Confucius.  In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.
In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities.  More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries.  These schools teach both Chinese language and culture.  The main courses of Chinese culture usually included Chinese art, history and philosophy（哲學(xué)）.  Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantages of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Westerners philosophy.  Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese.  So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States.  Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers. 
So the old thinker’s ideas are still alive and well.
Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.
As for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is.
小題1:The opening paragraph is mainly intended to ________
A． provide some key facts about Confucius
B．a(chǎn)ttract the readers’ interest in the subject
C．show great respect for the ancient thinker
D．prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations
小題2:We can learn from Paragraph 4 that American students______
A． have a great interest in studying Chinese
B．take an active part in Chinese competitions
C．try to get high scores in Chinese exams
D．fight for a chance to learn Chinese
小題3:What is the best title for the passge?
A．Forgotten Wisdom in America
B．Huge Fans of the Chinese Language
C．Chinese Culture for Westerners
D．Old Thinker with a Big Future
小題4:The passage is likely to appear in ___________.

Short Skirts Are Out!
After decades of skimpy skirts and sleeveless tops on game days, some schools in the US are saying cheerleader uniforms will have to meet stricter dress codes when they are worn in class.
In Lake County, Florida, cheerleaders with uniforms too skimpy for the code are being asked to wear long shorts or trousers under their skirts and a T-shirt under the sleeveless tops, according to a district memo. Principals at two of Lake’s eight high schools – Leesburg and Lake Minneola – are not allowing the outfits in school at all.
Michelle Thomas, a cheerleader at Leesburg High School, was disappointed when she learned she couldn’t wear her outfit to school on game days.
“It shows that we’re a team just like all the other sports,” she said.
But the school administrators did not agree. “During the educational portion of the day, they have to meet the dress code just like every other student,” said school board chairwoman Debbie Stivender, who ordered the staff to bring the outfits into line with the dress code.
Bare midriffs are banned across the state by the Florida High School Athletic Association, but no state rules mention cheerleader miniskirts. Sheila Noone, a spokeswoman for cheerleading uniform company Varsity Brands, says the outfits haven’t become more revealing over the last 10 years. She says that the short skirts are designed to help the girls jump and kick.
“Cheerleading is athletic,” Noone said. “There’s a lot of jumping, so you won’t want a knee-length skirt that might hamper a tie touch.”
Most cheerleaders were sad to hear the news, but say they’ll follow the rules. Even male cheerleaders, whose pants and tops meet dress codes, chose not to wear their outfits to show unity.
“I understanding, because they are kind of short,” said Holly Bishop, 14, a Lake Minneola High School cheerleader, about her miniskirt. “It would have been really, really cool to wear them to school.”
小題1:According to the new dress codes for cheerleaders in some American schools, __________.
A．bare midriffs are banned
B．cheerleading miniskirts are banned
C．cheerleader uniforms have switched from skirts to trousers
D．cheerleaders have to make their uniforms less revealing
小題2:Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the article?
A．School administrators believe cheerleader uniforms do not match school dress codes.
B．Most cheerleaders show understanding of the new dress codes.
C．Sheila Noone believes that cheerleading miniskirts are not revealing.
D．School administrators don’t take cheerleading seriously.
小題3:Some cheerleaders are not happy about the news because __________.
A．they hate the dress codes that other sports have
B．they consider their uniforms special and cool
C．they want to wear revealing clothes
D．they will have to buy new uniforms

As we all know, any country has good reasons to want its citizens to be as healthy as possible. This led to the introduction of a health service in many countries. France has developed into a country in which all citizens can get most of the health treatment free. The money for this is partly from the people who are willing to offer.
But there are different opinions about the Health Service. The number of patients treated every year and the cost of treatment are much greater than expected. This means that the people who work for the Health Service --- doctors, nurses and other hospital workers, have much more work to do, and as a result they have little time for preventive treatment.
However, the tough problem is that as many people are able to receive treatment more expensive than they can pay, sometimes people go and visit their doctors when they don’t really need to. As there are many patients, doctors cannot spend time long enough with each patient. So some people prefer to pay for their own treatment so that their doctors can examine them more carefully. In fact, some rich people feel that they should pay more free money, which would be given to other citizens.
小題1: France is described as an example to show that __________.
A．people have to pay part of the medical care
B．everyone in France enjoys free medical care
C．it is a country with the Health Service
D．it is a very rich country in Europe
小題2: What is the problem in the Health Service?
A．Money is not enough to employ more medical workers.
B．There are not enough well-treated doctors.
C．People can get more preventive treatment.
D．Doctors and nurses are not working hard.
小題3: Why do many people go and see the doctors even when they really don’t need to?
A．To keep himself even more healthy.B．To receive treatment free of charge.
C．To take back some expensive medicine. D．To get necessary protective treatment.
小題4:What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．The Health Service is quite successful so far.
B．People should not go to the doctors unless necessary.
C．There is much to improve the Health Service.
D．The rich should be allowed to pay for the treatment.

In a US city, a woman parked her car in an attended lot. Hoping to get a discount on the cost of parking, she asked, “Do you give validation(批準(zhǔn))?”“Certainly,”replied the store's manager:“You are an excellent person and I love your hair.” That might be worth the cost of parking．I mean，who wouldn't pay a couple of dollars for this kind of validation?
Author Alan McGinIlis cites an interesting study about the power of positive encouragement．A second-grade teacher complained that her children were spending too much time standing up and roaming around the room rather than working．
Two psychologists observed the behavior of the children and the teacher. Every ten seconds they noted how many children were out of their seats. They counted 360 unseated children throughout each 20-minute period．They also noted that the teacher said "Sit down!" seven times during the same period．
The psychologists tried an experiment．They asked the teacher to tell the children to sit down more often. This time they noted that she commanded her students to sit down 27.5 times in an average 20-minute period, and now 540 were noted to be out of their seats during the same average period．Her increased scolding actually made the problem worse．
Then the experimenters tried a different task．They asked the teacher to quietly praise those children who were seated and working．At this time, children's roaming was decreased by 33％．They showed their best behavior when they were praised more and blamed less．
People who motivate others to take great action are almost always those who encourage more than criticize; who praise more and blame less.
Perhaps the woman's question is the correct one after all．"Do you give validation?" I hope I can always answer “YES”.
小題1:When parking her car in an attended lot, the woman ________.
A．made a very silly mistakeB．was laughed at by the manager
C．got great praise from the managerD．failed to pay the cost of parking at last
小題2:The students in the study performed better mainly because_______.
A．they were motivated by the psychologists
B．they were inspired by the teacher's attitude
C．they regretted roaming around the classroom
D．they changed their relationship with the teacher
小題3: In the passage, the author thinks that_______.
A．it is better to blame others than to praise others
B．sometimes it's hard to receive praise from others
C．criticizing children does no good to their growth

A．To show the power of encouragement.

C．To show his argument is scientifically based.
D．To show the teacher is a successful motivator.
小題5:What is the author's attitude towards giving validation?

Would you eat a ready meal from the fridge rather than cook from scratch (從頭開始 )? Have you been doing internet shopping rather than going to the stores? What can't you be bothered to do?
A study into how lazy British people are has found more than half of adults are so idle they'd catch the lift rather than climb two flights of stairs.
Just over 2000 people were quizzed by independent researchers at Nuffield Health, Britain's largest health charity. The results were surprising.
About one in six people surveyed said if their remote control was broken, they would continue watching the same channel rather than get up.
More than one third of those questioned said they would not run to catch a bus. Worryingly, of the 654 respondents (回答者) with children, 64% said they were often too tired to play with them.
This led the report to conclude that it's no wonder that one in six children in the UK are classified as obese (肥胖) before they start school. 
Dr Sarah Dauncey, medical director of Nuffield Health, said: "People need to get fitter, not just for their own sake, but for the sake of their families, friends and obviously their pets too.
"If we don't start to take control of this problem, a whole generation will become too unfit to perform even the most basic of tasks."
And Scotland's largest city, Glasgow, was shamed as the laziest city in the UK, with 75% surveyed admitting they do not get enough exercise, followed closely by Birmingham and Southampton, both with 67%.
The results pose (對... 提出) serious challenges for the National Health Service, where obesity-related illnesses such as heart disease and cancer have been on a steady increase for the past 40 years and are costing billions of pounds every year.
小題1:For the interest of country people should         .    
A．continue watching the same channel rather than get up to get the remote control
B．carry out even the most basic of tasks
C．get enough exercise to get fitter
D．a(chǎn)dmit they do not get enough exercise
小題2:Which of the following statements agrees with British people?  
A．They are fond of climbing the stairs.
B．They are willing to accompany their children.
C．They like sports and get enough exercise.
D．They are suffering from obesity-related illnesses.
小題3:What does the word "idle" in paragraph 2 mostly probably mean?   
A．a(chǎn)ctiveB．lazyC．optimisticD．pessimistic
小題4:Which country is the writer most likely to come from?
A．AmericaB．ChinaC．U.KD．France
小題5: What's the main idea of the passage?  
A．UK is taking measures to get over laziness.
B．How lazy British people are.

A new study suggests that the more teenagers watch television, the more likely they are to develop depression as young adults .
The researchers used a national long-term survey of adolescent（青少年的）health to investigate （調(diào)查）the relationship between media use and depression. They based their findings on more than four thousand adolescents who were not depressed when the survey began in 2000.
As part of the survey, the young people were asked how many hours of television or videos they watched daily. They were also asked how often they played computer games and listened to the radio. Media use totaled an average of five and one-half hours a day. More than two hours of that was spent watching TV.
   Seven years later, in 2007, more than seven percent of the young people had signs of depression. The average age at that time was twenty-one.
The researchers say they did not find any such relationship with the use of other media such as movies, video games or radio, etc. But the study did find that every extra hour of television meant an eight percent increase in the chances of developing signs of depression. Young men were more likely than young women to develop depression given the same amount of media use.
The study didn't explore if watching TV causes depression. But one possibility is that it was taking time away from activities that could help prevent depression.
Last December, the journal Social Indicators Research published a study of activities that help lead to happy lives. Sociologists from the University of Maryland found that people who describe themselves as happy spend less time watching television than unhappy people. The study found that happy people are more likely to be socially active, to read, to attend religious services and to vote.
小題1:The best title for this passage should be____________.
A．Teens, Television and Depression
B．Men Develop Depression Easier than Women
C．Media Use is Harmful to Adolescents
D．Take Great Care of Teenager's Depression
小題2:The result of the research seems to prove______________.
A．teenagers are more likely to develop depression than adults
B．other media uses do no harm to adolescents
C．TV probably causes teenagers to grow up with depression
D．those who watch no TV will not develop depression
小題3:We can learn from the survey that of all the media use
A．computer games are teenagers' favourite
B．most teenagers prefer to listen to the radio
C．teenagers enjoy watching TV very much
D．newspaper is not included in the survey
小題4:We can conclude that a teenager should _____
A．play more video games instead of watching TV
B．be active in taking part in outdoor activities
C．be more active in watching educational TV programmes
D．a(chǎn)ttend religious services and care for politics

British society is considered to be divided into three main groups of classes－the upper class，the middle class．a(chǎn)nd the lower or working class．This is known as the class system and it is important to know something about it if you mean to understand British people and society．Most British people grow up with a deep knowledge and understanding of the class system even if they are not very conscious（意識到的）of it．As a result，more people know which class they belong to and are able to tell which class other people come from by the way they speak，the kind of clothes they wear，their interests and hobbies or even the type of food they eat．
Social class is not only about behavior and attitudes．For example，although many upper class people are rich and may own a lot of land，having a lot of money does not necessarily make a person one member of the upper class．It is also important to come from a particular kind of family，have friends who are considered suitable，have been to a certain type of private school and speak with the right kind of accent．There are people who are poor but who do not think of themselves as working class because their family background，education，political opinions，etc．a(chǎn)re basically different from those of most working－class people．Many people do not like the class system but it is impossible to pretend that these differences do not exist or that British people do not sometimes form opinions in this way．
小題1:The idea of the class system in Britain __________．
A．exists only in the mind of foreignersB．is deeply rooted in the British people
C．is now under attackD．is regarded as a long custom
