Many teenagers find it hard to make friends. It is NOT! Here are some ways for them.

Make the first move. Don’t be shy, because it won’t help you in anything. Look around for someone that seems interesting, and then talk to them. A good subject to talk about to anyone is music, because almost everybody likes music. You can ask someone what kind of music they like and start a cool conversation with them and even find things in common. Other topics could be movies or sports. Keep away from those subjects like politics, religion, relationship problems and drama.

Be nice. How do you expect them to like you if you are not nice? Put a calm smile on your face and find out what you and the person you are trying to befriend (与……交朋友) have in common. You’ll be able to be more comfortable (轻松的) if you find out that the other person has things in common with you.

Be a good listener. Pay attention to what they say, look straight in their eyes and show you’re paying attention. It’s important to be a good listener, because everyone likes to be heard. If this person feels like you’re listening to them, your new friend will enjoy talking with you more.

Develop friendships. You may talk to someone now but soon they’ll forget you if you stop. You’d better take a time to say hi to them every day and ask how they’re doing. Say their names as often as you can. If you do that every day, they’ll be happy that you care about them and remember them, so they won’t forget you and they will become your good friends.

1. What’s the main idea of the text?

A. How to help shy teenagers. B. How to make friends.

C. Listen to others carefully. D. Being yourself is important.

2. Which of the following is a good subject to start a conversation with a stranger?

A. Music B. Politics C. Religion D. Drama

3. When you listen to others speaking, you should _______.

A. close your eyes B. stare at the ground

4. Which of the following is a good way to develop friendships?

B

I heard many parents complaining (抱怨) that their teenage children are rebelling (叛逆的). I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly (大胆地) on their own, most of them are clutching (紧握) at one another’s hands for reassurance (安心). They claim (声称) they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up huddling (聚在一起) round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon (蚕茧) into a larger cocoon. It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity (流行) wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved (雕刻) out a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of today’s parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.  But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don’t care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come – with the people who respect you for who you are. That is the only kind of popularity that really counts. 5. In this passage, the author wants to tell _______. A. teenagers to try to find their real selves

B. readers to try to be popular with people around C. parents to try to control and guide their children

D. people to try to understand and respect each other6. The author disapproves (不赞成) of rebelling teenagers _______. A. growing away from their parents B. following the popularity trend  C. walking a new way on their own D. turning to their friends for help7. The phrase “larger cocoon” at the end of the second paragraph refers to _______. A. the parental care and love B. the dazzling (眼花缭乱的) music world C. the variable (易变的) society D. the popularity wave in the society

The Top 4 Lies Girls Hear

1. “You’ll never be good at math.”

It’s generally accepted that boys are good at math while girls aren’t. The fact is that it isn’t true —at least, it doesn’t have to be. When girls reach their teens, most of them lose their interest in math. They’re trying to be regarded as female (女性). They want to stay away from things that are boy things, and math is still considered a boy thing. Math class is hard, but if you gave it a chance you could be great at math, especially because you are a girl.

2. “Being skinny (骨瘦如柴的) is good, and how you diet (节食) is your business.”

Lots of websites tell visitors that losing interest in eating is a beautiful thing. These “skinny is better” sites are lying. Losing interest in eating is a disease, not a fashion statement. It can kill you.

3. “You don’t deserve to make as much money as a guy.”

It’s said that in 2002 women who work full-time earn about 23 percent less than guys earn. Once you see real women succeeding in cool jobs, you’ll truly get that you’re worth just as much as — or more than any guys.

4. “Caffeine (咖啡因) will help you study better.”

Caffeinated soft drinks have long been advertised as must haves when you have to work very hard. But if you want to do your body a big favor, you’d better give up caffeine altogether.

8. Why do girls lose their interest in math?

A. Because they don’t realize the importance of math.

B. Because math class is too hard for girls.

C. Because they aren’t interested in the things which are considered boy things.

D. Because girls are not as clever as boys.

9. If in 2002 a man earns $20,000, how much will a woman doing the same job probably get?

A. $25,000 B. $20,000 C. $10,000 D. $15,000

10. Which of the statements is NOT true?

A. Girls sometimes can do better than boys in math.

B. Being skinny is good for girls’ health.

C. Girls can earn as much money as boys do.

D. Caffeine can make people feel more excited.

I never knew how well Mother could keep a trust until I was going through her things after she died. I discovered something I had 16 forgotten, something that happened to me as a child.

One day, as I went to sleep after my sisters and I had said our prayers, I recalled the events of the day and how 17 I had behaved toward Mother. “I must make things right now,” I thought.

Quietly I 18 out of bed and picked up the pencil and paper from the dresser, and then tiptoed into the hall. The 19 from the living room shone dimly.

The next morning when I 24 my bed after breakfast, I 25 found a return note under my pillow. Mother wrote that she loved me and 26 me．

This became my way of apologizing whenever I talked 27 or disobeyed. Mother always left a return note, but she never 28 our under-the-pillow messages in front of the family. Even when we were 29 , she never mentioned them when we sisters 30 our childhood．

When Mother passed away, I had to go through her personal belongings. In her desk was a bundle of notes tied with a faded ribbon. On top was a message in handwriting which read, “In the event o
