| 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. Always stay firm, straightforward and clear in your relationships, thoughts, decisions and judgments. Never let a doubt come to your mind or face when out for dating. If you are firm and clear in your communication, your date will always be careful in dealing with you. You should think ahead about ways to be safe if you are in a dangerous or potentially (潜在) dangerous relationship. Adults, like parents, teachers, counselors, can be trusted in such cases. |

| The English language is changing fast,thanks to the rapid progress of technology. We all have a rapid choice:We can either bury our heads in the sand and spend the rest of our lives wishing Shakespeare were alive and well. Or we can embrace (拥抱) the new English,enter into the spirit of the Internet age called Weblish. "You can't keep away from it, for the simple reason that whenever a new variety of language comes along,it inevitably (不可避免地) influence the language as a whole." Says Dr David Crystal, honorary professor of linguistics (语言学家) at the University of Wales in Bangor, whose book "Language and the Internet" has just been published. The trouble with keeping up with the new English is not so much that there are so many new words but that the old words no longer mean what we thought they did. In the past, if someone said they did not have Windows,you would have to suppose they lived in a cave. These days, it is probably because they use a Mac (which is a computer, not a rain coat). Spam is as disliked as it ever was, but whereas it once meant an unappetizing (引不起食欲的) canned meat. It now stands for unwanted "junk" email. Spellings are changing, too. Not only is text-messaging playing "hvc with vrbs" (havoc (混乱) with verbs), but the conventions (常规) of email communication place little emphasis on "perfect speaking". Weblish loves to see nouns happily become verbs ("please bookmark this site"), and verbs become nouns ("Send me the download"). Verbs and prepositions are regularly thrown together to become new nouns or adjectives(dial-up, logon, print-on, pull-down, upload), while others are created from simply pairing nouns: cyberspace, emit Internet, hyperlink, metatag, netspeak. |
| 1. The best title of this passage would be _____. |
| A. Technology and English B. Newly invented English Words C. Keep Up with the Latest Weblish D. Keep Up with the Latest Development in |
| 2. We can infer from the first paragraph that _____. |
| A. all people welcome weblish English B. weblish causes fear among people C. some people wish Shakespeare were still alive D. people may have different opinions towards weblish |
| 3. The author thinks the main difficulty for people in keeping up with weblish is that _____. |
| A. there are so many new words B. old words take on new meanings C. the technology is changing too fast D. weblish words are full of spelling mistakes |
| 4. Dr. David Crystal would probably agree that _____. |
| A. people should not accept weblish B. weblish will destroy the English language C. people should know something about weblish D. weblish can cause misunderstandings among people |

| The Lego Group had a very low beginning in the workshop of Ole Kirk Christiansen, a carpenter (木匠) from Denmark. Christiansen began creating wooden toys in 1932. Two years later, he came upon the Lego name by putting together the first two letters of the Danish words Leg and God, which mean "play well." The name could be interpreted as "I put together" in Latin; it is also similar to the Greek verb meaning "gather" or "pick up". In 1947, the company enlarged to making plastic toys. At first, the use of plastic for toy production was not highly regarded by salesmen and consumers of the time. Many of the Lego Group's shipments were returned, following poor sales. However, Christiansen's son, Gottfried Kirk Christiansen, saw the great potential (潜能) in Lego bricks to become a system for creative play-As the junior managing director of the Lego Group, he spent years trying to improve the "locking" ability of the bricks and made the bricks more versatile (多用途). In 1958, the modem interlocking brick design was finally developed and patented (获得专利). Today Lego is sold in more than 130 countries. Every minute 33,824 Lego bricks are made, and kids around the world spend 5 billion hours a year playing with Lego. There will be more than 400 million people playing with Lego bricks this year. On average, every person in the world owns 62 Lego bricks, and about seven Lego sets are sold every second. This year Lego fans all over the world are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the tiny building blocks. Though already 50 years old, Lego is still the same product it was in the 1950s. Bricks bought then are still compatible (兼容的) with present bricks and that is probably the reason the toy has never fallen out of favor. |
| 1. Which of the following is true about the name Lego? |
| A. It is a combination of Greek and Latin words. B. It was created by Ole Kirk Christiansen's son. C. It was created in 1947 for naming the plastic toys. D. It came from Danish words meaning "play" and "well." |
| 2. When did the Lego brick become as a creative form of toy? |
| A. 1958. B. 1947. C. 1934. D. 1932. |
| 3. Which of the following is true in describing the popularity of Lego? |
| A. More than 5 billion people in the world own Lego sets. B. Children spend an average of 62 dollars on Lego bricks each year. C. People in the world spend 400 million hours playing with Lego every year. D. The Lego Group now produces more than 30 thousand toy bricks every minute. |
| 4. What is most likely the reason why Lego still remains popular? |
| A. Old Lego bricks may still be connected to new ones. B. The company hasn't changed its name since 1 947. C. The material for the bricks has proved to be safe. D. The price of the toy is relatively, reasonable. |

| Are some people born clever and others born stupid? Or is intelligence (智力) developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some extent Our intelligence is given to US at birth, and no amount of education can make a genius (天才) out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surrounding (环境). Thus the limits of person' s intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supposed in a number of ways. It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be intelligent. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very likely to be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth. Imagine now that we take two identical (完全相同的) twins and put them in different environments. We might send one,for example,to a university and the other to a factory where the working is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing,and this shows that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence. |
| 1. If a child is born with low intelligence, he can _____. |
| A. become a genius B. not reach his intelligence in his life C. reach his intelligence limits in rich surroundings D. still become a genius if he should be given special education |
| 2. In the second paragraph, the underlined sentence means "if we _____." |
| A. pick any two persons B. take out two different persons C. choose two persons who are relative D. choose two persons with different intelligence |
| 3. The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately shows _____. |
| A. the part that birth plays B. the importance of their positions C. the importance of their intelligence D. the role of environment on intelligence |
| 4. The best title of the passage can be _____. |
| A. Surroundings C. Dependence on Environment B. Intelligence D. Effect of Education |

| During my ninth-grade year, I suffered from anorexia nervosa: it was not enough to be thin. I had to be the thinnest. Now, however, fully recovered, I can reflect (反思) back and realize that my wishes were more complex (复杂) than fitting into size five pants. Many of my subconscious (意识) emotions were related to my relationship with my father. As I was growing up,his work always came first. Sometimes I would not see him for up to two weeks. Not only did he devote his whole self to his work, but he expected me to do the same ("You cannot get anywhere unless You go to the best universities"). Though, consciously, I never felt pressure to please him, I began dieting after the first time he told me I looked fat. At the time, all I knew was that I had to be skinny-skinnier than anyone else. Every month my father went to Europe for a week or so and on the days he left,sorrow and emptiness consumed (折磨) me: Daddy was leaving. Then, I tuned to focus on a mysterious weakness-a helpless childlike emotion that came from starving. I liked to know that I needed to be taken care of; maybe Daddy would take care of me. Now two years later and thirty-eight pounds heavier, I have come to realize that I cannot change my father's inability to express his feelings. Instead, I must accept myself. I know that I am a valuable person who struggle to achieve and accomplish. But I cannot struggle only for others. By starving, I attempted to gain pride in myself by getting my father's approval (赞许) or acknowledgement of my value as a person. But the primary approval must come from me, and I feel safe now that I can live with that knowledge safely locked in my mind. |
| 1. What is the "anorexia nervosa" as mentioned in the first paragraph? |

| Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence(智力)developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough,the answer to these questions is yes. To some extent Our intelligence is given to US at birth,and no amount of education can make a genius (天才) out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand,a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surrounding (环境). Thus the limits of person' s intelligence are fixed at birth,whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts,can be supposed in a number of ways. It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people,the closer they are likely to be intelligent. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand,we take two identical twins,they will very likely to be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters,parents and children, usually have similar intelligence,and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth. Imagine now that we take two identical (完全相同的)twins and put them in different environments. We might send one,for example,to a university and the other to a factory where the working is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing,and this shows that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence. |

| During my ninth-grade year, I suffered from anorexia nervosa: it was not enough to be thin. I had to be the thinnest. Now, however, fully recovered, I can reflect (反思)back and realize that my wishes were more complex(复杂)than fitting into size five pants. Many of my subconscious (意识)emotions were related to my relationship with my father. As 1 was growing up,his work always came first. Sometimes 1 would not see him for up to two weeks. Not only did he devote his whole self to his work, but he expected me to do the same ("You cannot get anywhere unless You go to the best universities"). Though,consciously,I never felt pressure to please him,I began dieting after the first time he told me I looked fat. At the time. All I knew was that I had to be skinny--skinnier than anyone else. Every month my father went to Europe for a week or so and on the days he left,sorrow and emptiness consumed (折磨) me:Daddy was leaving. Then,I tuned to focus on a mysterious weakness ---a helpless childlike emotion that came from starving. I liked to know that I needed to be taken care of；maybe Daddy would take care of me. Now two years later and thirty-eight pounds heavier, I have come to realize that I cannot change my father's inability to express his feelings. Instead,I must accept myself. I know that I am a valuable person who struggle to achieve and accomplish. But I cannot struggle only for others. By starving,l attempted to gain pride in myself by getting my father's approval(赞许)or acknowledgement of my value as a person. But the primary approval must come from me,and l feel safe now that I can live with that knowledge safely locked in my mind? |
