1. What Teenagers Can Do To Earn More Respect
As teenagers continue to grow and develop into young adults, the transition(过渡) into adulthood has begun. With so many physical and emotional changes going on, certain manners are often forgotten and other adult traits are not yet accepted as a way of life.
1
By doing the following things, you will earn more respect.
Contribute to the household
At the very least, clean up after yourself. As a teenager, you are old enough to clean up after yourself. When you make a mess, clean it up.
2
All chores that you do help to reduce the load of the person who did them before. Now that you’re old enough and capable, why shouldn’t you contribute to the household?
3
Be responsible
4
Whether they are basic things, like brushing your teeth or doing your homework , or more involved chores that contribute to the household, simply fulfill your responsibilities on time. When adults know that they can rely on you, their trust and respect for you will increase.
3.
Solve more of your own problem without asking for help
Instead of taking the easy approach and asking for help, make an effort to solve your problems on your own first. The “easy way ” is only easy for you, but it is an extra task for the person from whom you are seeking help. Seek help only after you have make an honest effort to solve your own problems.
5
When you become a good problem solver, you increase your valve to the community.
The people doing the chores before will greatly appreciate the help.
It will make your life more pleasant.
Everyone has certain responsibilities.
When speaking to a group, speak loud enough.
This includes. But is not limited to , your dishes and your room.
By being aware of these manners and traits, you can manage them sooner.
Depending on the problem, 15 minutes of effort is usually a good guideline.

22. When Frida Kahlo's paintings were on show in London, a poet described her paintings as “ a ribbon （丝带）around a bomb”. Such comments seem to suggest Kahlo had a big influence on the art world of her time. Sadly, she is actually a much bigger name today than she was during her time.
Born in 1907 in a village near Mexico City , Kahlo suffered from polio（小儿麻痹症）at the age of seven. Her spine （脊柱）become bent as she grew older. Then, in 1925, her back was broken in several places in a school-bus accident. Throughout the rest of her life, the artist had many operations, but nothing was able to cure the terrible pain in her back. However, the accident had an unexpected side effect. While lying in her bed recovering, Kahlo taught herself to paint.
In 1929, she got married to Diego Rivera, another famous Mexican artist. Rivera’s strong influences on Kahlo’s style can be seen in her early works, but her later works from the 1940s, known today as her best works, show less influence from her husband.
Unfortunately, her works did not attract much attention in the 1930s and 1940s, even in her home country. Her first one-woman show in Mexico was not held until 1953.For more than a decade after her death in 1954, Kahlo’s works remained largely unnoticed by the world, but in the 1970s her works began to gain international fame at last.
1．What does the phrase “a much bigger name” in paragraph 1 most nearly mean?A. a far better artist
B. a far more gifted artist
C. a much stronger person
D. a much more famous person
2．The terrible pain Kahlo suffered was caused by
.A. polio
B. back injuries
C. the operations she had
D. her bent spine
3．Kahlo’s style had become increasingly independent since the
.A. 1950s
B.
1930s
C. 1940s
D. 1970s
4．What is author’s attitude toward Kahlo?A. Devotion
B. Sympathy
C. Worry
D. Encouragement
23. If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise and, as a result, we are growing old unnecessarily soon.
Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why quite healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a rather early age, and how the speed of getting old could be slowed down.
With a team of researchers at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages with different jobs.
Computer technology helped the researchers to get most exact measurements of the volume of the front and side part of the brain, which have something to do with intellect and feelings, and decide the human character. As we all know, the back part of the brain, which controls tasks like eating and breathing, does not contract with age.
Contraction of front and side parts—as cells die off—was seen in some people in their thirties but it was still not found in some sixty and seventy-year-old.
Matsuzawa concluded from his test that there is a simple way to prevent the contraction using the head.
The findings show that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns. Those with least possibility, says Matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White-collar workers doing the same work day after day in government offices are, however, as possible to have contraction brains as the farm workers, bus drivers and shop assistants.
1．What did the team of doctors want to find out?
A．How to make people live longer.
B．How to slow down the speed of getting old.
C．The size of certain people’s brain.
D．Which people are the most clever.
2．What are their research findings based on?
A．An examination of farmers in northern Japan.
B．Tests given on a thousand old people.
C．Using computer technology.
D．Examining the brain volumes of different people.
3．Which of the following are growing old earlier than people who live in the cities according to the passage.
A．Farmers.
B．Office clerks.
C．Shop assistants.
D．Bus drivers.
4．What’s the most possible conclusion of the passage?
A．Most of us should take more exercise.
B．It’s better to live in the town.
C．The brain contracts if it is not used.
D．The more one uses his brain, the sooner he becomes older.
24. Many years ago my student asked me the question, "Mrs．Kindred, why do you teach?" Without taking time to reflect, I answered, "Because someday I might say something that might make a difference in someone's life．" Even though I was sincere, that wasn't a very good answer and my student didn't let it slide．"Let me get this straight," he said, "You went to college for four years so you could come here every day because you have the hope that someday you might say something that will influence someone?" He shook his head as if I were crazy and walked away looking confused．I'm one of those people who look back and wish they had said something smart or witty．

I genuinely love teenagers．I want to share with others what 1 know and what I have learned through the years．Life is full of ups and downs, and if I can help students avoid some potholes （） on the road of life, I want to do so．If they'll allow me to celebrate their victories with them, I want to do too．Teaching isn't for everyone, but I know I made the right career choice．．What is the answer that the author gives to her student to the question why she teaches? A．She loves teenagers． B．Her mother influenced her a lot． C．She thinks something she said might make a difference to her students． D．She wants to share her knowledge with others．．Why did the author's student shake her head and walk away when he got the reply? A．He thought the author's answer is smart and witty． B．He felt angry at the author's answer． C．He didn't want to talk about the question with the author any more． D．The author's reply made him feel confused．．It can be inferred from the text that _____． A．it was her mother who asked her to be a teacher B．the writer devotes herself to teaching and her students C．students of the writer all have great achievements D．the writer took up teaching with the aim of changing others' life．The writer mentioned "stone" in paragraph 5 in order to _____． A．tell everyone to throw stones in the river B．express that teachers should have some positive influence on their students C．convey that every teacher can make a good difference to their students D．prove that stones can make some ripples in the riverTales From Animal Hospital

Fermat’s Last Theorem
Simon Singh
In 1963 a schoolboy called Andrew Wiles reading in his school library came across the world’s greatest mathematical problem: Fermat’s Last Theorem (定理). First put forward by the French mathematician Pierre de Fermat in the seventeenth century, the theorem (法则)had baffled and beaten the finest mathematical minds, including a French woman scientist who made a major advance in working out the problem, and who had to dress like a man in order to be able to study at the Ecole
Polytechnique. Through unbelievable determination Andrew Wiles finally worked out the problem in 1995. An unusual story of human effort over three centuries, Fermat’s Last Theorem will delight specialists and general readers alike.

I was telling my boy Sonny the story of the hare and the tortoise. At the end I said, “ Son, remember: Be slow and steady, and that will win the race. Don’t you think there’s something to learn from the tortoise?”
Sonny opened his eyes wide, “Do you mean next time when I’m entering for the 60-metre race I should wish that Billy, Tony and Sandy would all fall asleep halfway?”
I was shocked, “But the tortoise didn’t wish that the hare would fall asleep!”
“He must have wished that,” Sonny said, “Otherwise how could he be so foolish as to race with the hare? He knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than he himself did.”
“He didn’t have such a wish,” I insisted. “He won the race by perseverance (坚忍不拔的), by pushing on steadily.”Sonny thought a while. “That’s a lie,” he said. “He won it because he was lucky. If the hare hadn’t happened to fall asleep, the tortoise would never have won the race. He could be as steady as you like, or a hundred times steadier, but he’d never have won the race. That’s for sure.”
I gave up. Today’s children are not like what we used to be. They’re just hopeless.
