Our elders have done a lot for us, directly or indirectly and most of us 42 everything to their kindness and love.When we 43 them respect, whether it is by bowing to them, or 44 them with a smile, or offering them any help they need, it is one way of 45 our own love and gratitude to them. 46 , elders have also been through all the years and know a little more about the 47 than you do.It is 48 that you do not agree with the belief of your elders, but this is nothing new. All younger generations have always 49 with their elders and it is these differences that bring changes in human 50 . However much you disagree with them, give them 51 for their experience.With changing times and 52 influences, youngsters no longer know what is interpreted （解释，理解）as disrespect to elders. Youngsters should 53 express their views and if there are arguments, they should not 54 their voices.If there is no 55 on sofas or chairs, children will immediately give up their places, and sit on the carpet. In buses and trains, youngsters are 56 to give up their seats to older people. This is not a 57 of who has more rights. It is simply that those who are younger have the strength to bear 58 or tolerate unpleasantness, so it is natural to show consideration to those who are older and perhaps at a slight 59 .When you do simple things as a mark of respect, elders become 60 that youngsters care for them, and they respond with affection and kindness.41.

Pay attention in classDo you have trouble paying attention in class? Are you sitting next to a loud person? Tell your teacher or parents about any problems that are preventing you from paying attention.2. Take good notesWrite down facts that your teacher mentions or write on the board. Try to use good handwriting so you can read your notes later. Its a good idea to keep your notes organized by subject.3. Plan ahead for tests and projectsWaiting until Thursday night to study for Fridays test will make it hard to do your best. One of the best ways to make sure that doesnt happen is to plan ahead. Write down your test dates. You can then plan how much to do after school each day, and how much time to spend on each topic.4. Break it up!When there is a lot to study, it can help to break things into several parts. Lets say you have a spelling test on 20 words. Instead of thinking about all of the words at once, try breaking them down into five-word groups and work on one or two different groups each night.5. Ask for helpYou cant study effectively if you dont understand the material. Be sure to ask your teacher for help. If youre at home when confusion occurs, your mom or dad might be able to help.6. Sleep tight!So the test is tomorrow and youve followed your study plan-but suddenly you cant remember anything! Dont panic. Your brain needs time to digest all the5information youve given it. Try to get a good nights sleep and youll be surprised by what comes back to you in the morning.61. We know from the passage that a loud person is _.A. a student who always answers questions loudly in classB. someone who likes to talk with others in a loud voiceC. a student who has the habit of speaking with others in classD. a person who makes a lot of noise in public places62. According to the author, which of the following is an effective studying method?A. Dont try to review everything you have learned in one go.B. Try to review what you have learned in one go.C. To read all your notes the night before the test.D. Try to remember everything on the first try.63. If you dont understand what you have learned, you can _.A. read your notes over and over againB. turn to people around you for helpC. put aside the material for later reviewD. ask your teacher to explain it the next day64. By saying “Sleep tight!”, what does the author mean?A. Sleep again after waking up.B. Sleep holding your pillow tight.C. Get a good nights sleep.D. Go to sleep early every night.BAs you grow rapidly through your teenage years, you will experience a lot of changes. The changes may seem difficult and they may seem to happen quickly. Dont panic! You will deal successfully with them! You are a young adult now!With more responsibility, you will find more freedom to make your own choices. This is a time to be well informed about your choices so that you can make healthy balanced decisions that will help shape your future. You may already know your career path or you may have no idea at all what you want to do. Both situations are fine! Work hard and the right opportunity will present itself to you.Young adulthood means greater freedom and more choices. You will probably want to be independent. But try not to shut your family out of your life. You should learn to think of others even though you are old enough to look after yourself. Your family have been with you since you came into this world.It is also perfectly natural in this time for you to spend more time with your friends than your family. Choose your friends wisely. A true friend will stand by you no matter what happens.This period is part of the life cycle. There are some people who will be with you throughout lifes journey and there will be some people with whom you part and go6separate ways. Leaving school can be hard. The reality is that you may not ever see all of your classmates again.You are a young adult. It is your life. No one can live it for you. The choices that you make from now on will be your choices. So making the right choices will be important to you. Life is for living. Enjoy your life wisely!65. The best title for this passage would be_.A. The Choices in Life B. The Key to SuccessC. Say Goodbye to the Past D. Becoming a Young Adult66. Who do the underlined words “some people” ( Paragaraph 5 ) probably refer to?A. Your parents B. Your classmatesC. True friends D. Your relatives67. The author thinks teenage years are _.A. a period of complete freedomB. too hard for young people to get throughC. an important time for the young to make the right choicesD. a very important period for young students to leave their parents.68. Who is the passage mainly written for?A. Teenagers B. Teachers C. Young parents D. AdultsCDear Aunt Julia,I have so much to tell you, but I dont know where to begin! Remember last summer when I told you that I was planning to enter for Teensay magazine essay contest? Well, I entered for it, and my essay Improving Community safety won! The prize was a weekend trip to New York city, with a visit to the Teensay offices to see how they publish the magazine each month. Three of us were chosen to go from Texas: two other contest winners, and myself.My mom took me to the airport for the flight to New York, and I have to admit I was nervous! Ive flown before, but never without my parents. But when we got to the airport and met the other people in our group, I relaxed. The group leader, Ms. Alvarez, was really friendly and easy to talk to. While we waited for our flight, she introduced me to other contest winners, Irene, a 13-year-old girl like me, and a 15-year-old boy named Eddie. Before our plane took off, we were laughing and telling jokes like we had known each other for a long time.On the flight, Ms. Alvarez and I were sitting next to each other. She told me a lot about herself and how she had ended up working at Teensay magazine. She said that as a young girl she had always enjoyed writing stories and interviewing people. I told her that I was thinking about becoming a reporter someday, and she said that she thought I could do it if I worked really hard.Before I knew it, we were landing in New York. You wouldnt believe how different New York is from Texas! When I see you at Moms birthday party next week, I will7tell you all about the sightseeing we are going to do tomorrow. I am enclosing a copy of my essay with this letter. So far, it has been a great trip.Love,Yoshiko69. What is TRUE of Teensay Magazine?A. It is a weekly publication. B. It is a monthly publicationC.

Curious and excited B. Happy and proudC. A little homesick D. a little lonelyDWhy I Dont Spare “Spare Change”“Poor but honest.” “The deserving（值得帮助的）poor.” These words always come to my mind when I think of “the poor”. But I also think of people who, perhaps through alcohol or drugs, have ruined not only their own lives but also the lives of others in order to give way to their own pleasure. Perhaps alcoholism and drug addiction really are “diseases”，as many people say, but my own feeling-based, of course, not on any serious study-is that most alcoholics and drug addicts belong to the “undeserving poor”. And that is largely why I dont give spare change to beggars.But surely among the street people there are also some who can rightly be called “deserving”. Deserving what? My spare change? Or simple the governments assistance? It happens that I have been brought up to believe that it is proper to make contributions to charity（慈善机构）, but if I give some change to a beggar, am I making a contribution to charity and thereby helping someone, or, am I perhaps simply encouraging someone not to get help? Or, maybe even worse, am I supporting a cheat?If one believes in the value of private charity, one can either give to needy people or to charitable organizations. In giving to a beggar one may indeed be helping a person who badly needs help, but one cannot be certain that one is giving to a needy person. In giving to an organization, on the other hand, one can feel that ones money is likely to be used wisely. True, facing a beggar one may feel that this particular un
