And if you were to ask Pink (a famous American singer) her opinion on the subject shed tell you the same. Before she became famous， and when she was still called Alicia Moore， the young superstar faced more than her fair share of high school drama.In her interview with Faze (Canadas student magazine)，Pink admits she was considered as a troublemaker at school. “Yes， the problem was， I was labelled as trouble，” she says. Unfortunately， Pink began to deliver what the teachers expected and the bad cycle began. “Its like the label they give you. They treat you badly， so you act badly，” Pink continues. “Did I deserve it？ In the end， yes， but I feel I just get confused and act the way the teachers expect me to.”Predictably， Pink dropped out of school soon after she began to sing in nightclubs. She sang any chance she could get and was eventually discovered by a talent scout (星探) while singing in a club in Philadephia. However， she did not always sing the type of music we are used to hearing.She does not regret anything she has done and would not change her past if she could. She believes having faced so many difficulties at a young age is a good thing. “To experience the good you have to go through the bad， Dont worry about being labelled. Just wait and live our own life，” she says. “Give it a couple of years then it wont matter. Because no matter what label they give you， the best thing you can do is to prove them wrong.”21. What does the underlined word “labelled” in the second paragraph mean？A. Known B. Realized C. Marked D. Discovered22. The passage implies that students_.A. are supported to follow their teachers adviceB. are willing to meet with many difficultiesC. are likely to behave as others expect them toD. are used to being considered to be troublesome23. How did Pink feel when talking about her past？A. Regretful B. ThankfulC. Hateful D. Forgetful24. Which of the following statements is true？A. Her leaving school is out of expectation.B. Pink started singing by chance.C. Pink thought school life was easy.D. Her style of music is unusual.BBats (蝙蝠) are impressive creatures. They are known to carry dangerous diseases like SARS without getting sick.So researchers wanted to know: How do bats fight off so many deadly diseases？ Learning their secret could help doctors better treat humans who have these diseases， therefore saving millions of lives.To solve this problem， a team of researchers from Australia and China analyzed bat DNA. The scientists studied two kinds of batsthe Australian megabat， known as the flying fox， and the Chinese microbat. The scientists then arranged the bat genome (基因组) in order by comparing their DNA.The researchers now think that the special immunity (免疫性) to illness that bats have may be connected to their ability to fly.Bats are the only mammals (哺乳动物) that can truly fly. Flying uses up a lot of energy. The energy burned for flying produces something in the animal called free radicals (自由基). Free radicals can damage DNA and lead to diseases such as cancer.However， bats are not affected by free radicals produced during flight. The reason is that bats carry special genes to repair any damaged DNA.Scientists think that because bats fly and produce free radicals， theyve evolved to carry genes that shaped their special immune system.“Were thinking that the evolution(进化) of flight led to a sort of effect， influencing not only the immune system but also things like aging and cancer，” says Chris， an expert of the Australian Animal Health Laboratory. “We think weve really found something special.”Researchers believe that this discovery might one day be key to helping humans fight diseases such as cancer that attack the immune system and damage DNA.25. Whats true about bats according to the passage？A. They carry many deadly diseases like SARS so its easy for them to get sick.B. Bats are the only animals that can tell directions easily.C. Bats are among the mammals that can truly fly.D. Researchers studied bats to help save people.26. According to researchers， bats can fight off many deadly diseases mainly because_A. they have developed special immune system through evolutionB. they are able to fly，which burns a lot of energyC. free radicals in their bodies can damage DNA and cause diseasesD. they carry no special genes to repair damaged DNA27. The passage is mainly about _.A. bats and dangerous diseasesB. bats and their special immune systemC. free radicals and immune systemD. ways to cure cancerC Cocoa Beach / Jupiter Surf Camp-SummerSummer Surf Camp Dates:lSession 1 May 27th-30th Family Surf Week(All Ages) lSession 2 June 2nd-6th Family Surf Week(All Ages) lSession 3 June 9th-13th Teen Week(Age12-17) lSession 4 June 16th-20th Family Surf Week(All Ages) lSession 5 June 23rd-27th Adults Only (18 and over) lSession 6 June30th-July 3rd Family Surf Week(All Ages) lSession 7 July 7th-11th Family Surf Week(All Ages) lSession 8 July 14th-18th Womens Camp(18 and over) lSession 9 July 21st-25th Family Surf Week(All Ages) lSession 10 July 28th-August 1st Adults Only (18 and over) vA 20% discount will be used for the 4- Day Surf Camp Weeks.vParents are always welcome to sign up and join their children during the teen week surf camp sessions.Summer Camp Details: vDaily Rate: $ 125.00/ personvSurf Camp Runs: 9:30 am2:30 pmPlease note: We dont surpervise (监督) the campers after 2:45 pm.Directions to Camp: Click hereContact Us: 888-672-4887 28.

Researchers found the average Briton tells on average four lies every day or almost 1500 every year. Almost one in six men admitted they were most likely to lie to their wife or girlfriend， on average at least twice a day. The most popular lie was saying you had no mobile phone signal， with one in four people admitting regularly using the little white lie. It usually came after they hit the “ignore buttonwhen their mobile rang. Three quarters of people think women are better liars. The research found 46 % of girls have been caught lying， compared to 58 of men. The second most common fib is “I havent got any cash on me” when asked for money by beggars and Big Issue sellers.“Nothings wrong Im fine” came third followed by “You look lovely” and “Nice to see you”. Modern technology turned out to have contributed to many lies with “I didnt get your text” in 18th， “Our server was down” in 20th and “My battery died” in 26th place. Other lies to make the top ten included “Ill give you a ring”， “Were just good friends” and “Well have to meet up soon”. “Im on my way” and “No， your bum doesnt look big in that” completed the top ten. In many cases perhaps it is better to delight someone with a fib than destroy someone with the truth， according to a spokesmanfor OnePoll， which carried out the research of 4，300 adults. He added: “As a nation we just like trying to be nice and not upsetting people. Often little white lies can cover what we actually want to say.
