         Having Fun "Growing" and "Stealing"?
         Recently, an Internet game has become a new fashion among young office workers and students.
    People can "farm" on a piece of "land" and "grow'', "sell" or even "steal" "vegetables", "flowers" and
    "fruits" on the Net. They can earn some e-money and buy more "seeds", "pets" and even "houses".
    Joyce interviewed some young people. Here are their opinions.
         Harold: I don't quite understand why they are so mad about the childish game, Maybe they are just
    not confident enough to face the real world.
         Allan: I enjoy putting some "bugs" in my friends' gardens and we've become closer because of the 
    game. Having fun together is the most exciting thing about it.
         Laura: You know, people in the city are longing for (渴望) the life in the countryside. It reduces my 
    work  pressure (压力); besides, it gives me the exciting experience of being a "thief".
         Ivy: Well. it's just a waste of time. Teenagers playing the game spend so many hours on it that they
    can not focus on (专注于) their study.

         Santi's big brother Len had told him never to push all the remote control buttons at the same time. He
    said that something terrible would happen if  he did. Santi didn't really believe this. While Len was out of
    the room, Santi jumped down on the sofa with the remote control in his hand. For a while, he changed
    from channel to channel, looking for something interesting to watch. Bored, Santi decided to see what
    Len could have meant. 
         With a quick glance (扫视) over his shoulder to make sure Len hadn't come back,he pushed all the
    buttons at once. Santi saw a bright flash,and he dropped the remote control. "I've broken it,"he thought.
    "Now I'm in trouble!" As he looked around for the remote control,he realized he was in more trouble
    than he'd thought. He was suddenly only the size of a mouse.
         "Oh, no!" Santi shouted. He had to find his parents quickly. Carefully, he climbed down the side of
    the huge sofa and hurried across the floor. In the kitchen, Santi could see that the sliding door (滑门) had
    been left open. "If the door is open, then the cat might be in here," tiny Santi said.
         Just then, Santi and the cat saw each other. Santi ran for the door, the cat closing in quickly behind
    him. Just as the cat reached out to attack Santi, it slipped (打滑) on some water and slid across the
    kitchen floor. Out of breath, Santi hid behind a flowerpot in the corridor. He could see his mum far away
    in the garden. "How will I ever get there?" he wondered. As he looked out from behind the flowerpot,
    there was the huge cat looking right at him! Santi rushed for the garden and then…, he woke up. "It was

         Some teenagers think that newspapers are boring and only for adults. But that's not true. There are
    many interesting stories in the paper. You just need to make clear what you are looking at. "I spend
    about half an hour reading newspapers every day," said 15-year-old Gao Ming from Beijing. "I'm
    interested in things happening at school." School news is just one kind of news story in newspapers.
    There's also world news: from international problems to pop stars.
         Read the newspaper carefully, we'll find different types of articles on the pages:
         News stories - these stories are about events. Reporters try to show all points of a story to help
    readers understand what happened. Reporters try to speak to as many people as possible. They also
    use pictures and numbers to show the readers that the stories are true. The newspaper Teenagers has
    lots of news stories on the news page and front page. When we read them, we learn more about the
    facts, not the writers' ideas.
         Opinion writing - opinion writing is usually about something happening right now. But it isn't just facts.
    Here writers add their own opinions to the news. Writers pick only the facts that help back up their
    ideas. They make readers believe that they are telling the truth. This is usually the kind of story that gets
    people thinking. Go to "Speak Out" on Page Two for an example of opinion writing in Teenagers.
         Advertisement - Don't get happy too early when you read them. Those sweet words and lovely
    pictures are just ways to get us interested in their products! People have to pay to put advertisements in
    newspapers!
    1. The underlined sentence means that the readers "_______".
    A. should understand interesting news stories      
    B. ought to know which kind of things to read
    C. need to look at the school news first      
    D. must know the contents of all the news
    2. This passage mainly discusses how _______.
    A. reporters write different kinds of news  
    B. teenagers get interested in newspapers
    C. readers can read newspapers in better ways
    D. readers can't read different news in newspapers

         When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings (缺点).
    Sometimes she said I was thin. Sometimes she said I was lazy. Sometimes she said I wasn't a good
    student. Sometimes she said I talked too much, and so on. I tried to put up with (忍受) her as long as I
    could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.
         He listened to me quietly, and then he asked, "Are the things she said true or not? Mary, didn't you
    ever wonder what you're really like? Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that
    are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said."

         I brought the list back to my dad. He refused to take it. "That's just for you," he said. "You know
