in the air You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball If you drop it it will bounce 弹跳 back But the other four balls family health friends and spirit are made of glass If you drop one of these they will be broken They will never be the same You must understand that and try to have balance in your life How Don t look down on your worth by comparing yourself with others It is because we are different and each of us is special Don t let other people set goal for you Only you know what is best for yourself Don t give up when you still have something to give Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying Don t be afraid of difficulties It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave Don t shut love out of your life by saying it s impossible The quickest way to receive love is to give it the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly the best way to keep love is to give it wings 翅膀 Don t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you ve been but also where you are going Don t be afraid to learn Knowledge is a treasure you can always carry easily Don t use time or words carelessly You can t get them back Yesterday is history tomorrow is a mystery and today is a gift that s why we call it the present Life is not a competition but a trip step by step 1 The passage tells us not to because everyone is special A be afraid of difficulties B

possible B If we don t give up there is always hope C You should learn to give up D Although you try nothing will change 3 Why can t we use time carelessly A Because time is too expensive B Because

walk and get lunch instead Let s go says the coolest kid in your class Do you do what you know is right and go to math class take the quiz Or do you give in and go with them People who are at your age like your classmates are called peers 同龄人 When they try to influence you how to act to get you to do something it s called peer pressure 压力 It s something everyone has to deal with even adults Peers influence your life even if you don t realize it just by spending time with you You learn from them and they learn from you It s only human nature to listen to and learn from other people in your age group Peers can have a positive influence on each other Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in the solar system Or you got others excited about your new favorite book and now everyone is reading it Sometimes peers influence each other in negative 消极的 ways For example a few kids in school might try to get you to cut class with them It s difficult to say no to peer pressure but you can do it Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do It can really help to have at least one other peer or friend who is willing to say no too If you continue to face peer pressure and you re finding it difficult to handle talk to someone you trust a parent or a teacher They can help you feel much better and prepare you for the next time you face peer pressure 5 With his words in the first paragraph the kid is A planning some interesting activities after school B talking

just like in China in the United States high school is usually divided into two periods the first two or three years are called junior high school and the other is senior high school In China children enjoy free education of nine years but in the United States the students enjoy free education which will be started when they are about 6 years old until they are 18 years old As a result of the free education system American children have little difficulty in going to senior high school American high school students can take part in a lot of activities outside of the classroom The activities are organized by the school such as joining a music group or a sports team Certainly just like us students in China American students have to work hard in order to get good marks if they want to go to a good university They take classes in all kinds of subjects all through the high school period And students with low marks at the end of a school year are still allowed to go on to the next grade In American high schools there is fighting or hurting or other kinds of bad behaviors So children who want to go to university are often sent to suburban 郊区的 high schools where most students want to go

middle school When I started playing the violin with Moira playing music became something that I loved She introduced me to so many types of music from Irish to Old Time to Cajun Moira also taught me to play the guitar Soon we started performing together and were shocked to discover that people actually wanted to hear us When I began to play the violin practicing was something that I did at home in my living room but with Moira s influence it quickly became something that I did everywhere I played on street corners at festivals at the beach at parties at weddings and late at night in my friends kitchens Moira took the music out to the classroom and brought it to life Her passion 激情 was not only for playing music but also for sharing it My time with Moira allowed me to grow both
