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. However, parents often try to choose their children’s friends for them. Some parents may even stop their children from meeting their good friends. The question of “choice” is an interesting one. Have you ever thought of the following questions? Who choose your friends? Do you choose your friends or your friends choose you? Have you got a good friend that your parents don’t like? 1. Many teenagers think their _____know them better than their parents do. A. friends B. teachers C. brothers and sisters D. classmates 2.

Parents should like everything their children enjoy. B. In all families, children can choose everything they like. C. Parents should try their best to understand their children better. D.

What many people do not know is that Sir Hillary did not make it to the top of Everest the first time he tried. The first attempt was a complete failure. His climbing party met one problem after another and more than half of his climbing party died. However, the British Parliament ( 议 会 ) decided to honor him with some type of award. When he entered the chamber to receive his award, Sir Hillary saw that a large picture of Everest had been set up. During the standing welcome that he was receiving, he walked over to the picture, shook his fist at it and said, “You won, this time. But you are as big as you are ever going to get. And I'm still growing.” We frequently hear the stories of people who have succeeded. And we frequently assume that they succeeded the first time. But in fact it's the exact opposite. The road to success is paved with the bricks of failure. 5.The first attempt was a failure, because ______ A. Sir Hillary did not make it. B. His climbing party came across problems. C. More than half of his climbing party died D. Many people don’t know 6.Where did he shake his fist? A. Before the picture B. Before Mt. Everest C. Before the audience D.

Shaprice wants to choose either Illinois State University or Eastern Illinois University and major in Education and Psychology. Deprice, who is a youth activist in Chicago, has been accepted into 27 schools. He earned $300.000 in scholarship and received two full scholarships offers. “My motivation was to make sure my mom didn’t have to be out of pocket,” Deprice said. His top choice is HBCU Morehouse College, which he said is his dream school. He also said that he wants to study Performing Arts and Political Science. In addition to their acceptance letters and scholarships, the twins are proud of their perfect attendance and a total of 48 awards throughout their high school years.

Deprcie decided to tell their story in the hope of inspiring others. “A lot of people say you can’t do it because of where you are from” Deprice said. “Don’t listen to them.” The twins said they know financial problems held a lot of teens back.

Not only to make yourself proud but make your family proud too.” The twins said their hope is for every child, no matter what their race or background is, to have an opportunity to go to college.

A. determined and grateful B. brave and warm-hearted C. kind and proud D. polite and easy-going D A new study shows that getting half of American 8- to 11-year-olds into 25 minutes of physical activity three times a week would save $21.9 billion in medical costs over their lifetimes,. The increase from the current 32 percent to 50 percent of kids taking part in exercise, active play, or sports would also result in 340,000 fewer overweight teenagers. “Physical activity not only makes kids feel better and helps them develop healthy habits, it’s also good for the nation’s bottom line,” says Bruce Y. Lee, executive director of the Global Obesity Prevention Center at Johns Hopkins University. “Our findings show that encouraging exercise and investing in physical activity when kids are young pays big dividends as they grow up.” The study, published in the journal Health Affairs, suggests an even bigger advantage if every 8 to 11-year-old in the United States exercised 75 minutes over three times in a week. In that case, the researchers estimate(估计), $62.3 billion in medical costs over the course of their lifetimes could be avoided and 1.2 million fewer youths would be overweight. And the money would increase if not just current 8-to-11 year olds, but every future elementary school child joined their game. Exercise at least 25 minutes a day, three days a week, is a guideline developed for kids by the Sports and Fitness Industry Association. An overweight person’s lifetime medical costs average $62,331. For the overweight person, these amounts are great. “Even a little increase in physical activity could cause billions of dollars in savings,” Lee says. He also says there are other benefits of physical activity that don’t affect weight, such as improving bone density, improving mood, and building muscle. Lee says “We need to be adding physical education programs and not cutting them. We need to encourage kids to be active, to reduce screen time and get them running around again. It’s important for their physical health and the nation’s financial(经济的) health.” 13.Which of the following is the best title of the passage? A. Getting kids to run would save money. B. Physical activity is important for kids. C. Physical education programs: adding or cutting? D. Overweight person’s lifetime medical costs are increasing. 14. What’s the underlined words’ meaning in paragraph3? A. pays much money B. pays little money C. plays an important part D. is a serious question 15. What can we infer from the passage? A. The number of American kids from 8 to 11who take part in physical activity is increasing. B. Physical education programs should be cut to encourage the nation’s financial health. C. 25 minutes of physical activity three times a week may result in fewer overweight teenagers. D. Physical activity can only make kids feel better but can’t help them develop healthy habits. 第二节（共 5 小题：每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 All over the world, friends greet one another when they meet.

Secondly, it is beneficial to you to listen to the teacher carefully, who can help you better understand English and teach you some language points about English. Last but not the least, after-class reading is also beneficial to your English study, for example, you can read some English magazines and newspapers and watch some English movies, through which you can know more about foreign culture. I hope you will find my advice helpful. Best wishes. Yours, Li Hua
