Mary and Michael have faced some problems recently and asked Anna for help.
Dear Anna
I’m really worried about my daughter. I think some of the older boys in her school are bullying her. Every day she comes home from school in tears. And every morning she says she doesn’t feel well because she doesn’t want to go to school. Can you give me some advice?
Mary
Hi Mary,
I think you should go and talk to your daughter’s head teacher. Bullying is a serious problem in many schools, and every school must have a rule to stop it. Perhaps you could also have a talk with your daughter, and give her some good advice.
Anna
Dear Anna,
My neighbors keep playing loud music late at night. I’ve been there a couple of times to complain (抱怨), and they turn it down for a few minutes. But ten minutes later, they turn it up again. It’s making me very stressed. What do you think I should do?
Michael
Hi Michael,
I think you should speak to them one more time. Perhaps you could go during the day, when it’s quiet and you feel calm (冷静). Try to be polite and explain how their music is making you feel. Tell them that you would really like to be friendly to them, but if they keep making noise at night, you will call the police. Before you do this, you should write down all the dates and time when your neighbors make too much noise.
Anna

Volunteering means spending some of your free time helping others. You may volunteer to help other people, but you can also volunteer to do something good for animals, the environment or other things that you care about. Volunteering can help others, and it can also help yourself. If you are worried about something that’s happened, doing something about it can be a great way to deal with your feelings. Volunteering can help you see your own life in new ways. Sometimes it’s easy to worry about stuff like grades or get annoyed because you don’t have the most expensive shoes or the newest computer game. Volunteering lets you spend some time focusing on others.
Doing volunteer work is a great way to have fun with your family. Here are some ideas on how you can do the work together:
☆Clean up a park or a road along a river.
☆Do some housework for the elderly or the sick.
☆Serve food at a shelter for the homeless.
☆Plant trees or flowers in your neighborhood.
☆Clean up a school or other public buildings.
Now some schools ask kids to spend some time helping others. Volunteering can make kids feel needed by some people. Volunteering can also help kids to learn important things about themselves. A volunteer job can even help kids to understand what to do when they grow up. So what are you waiting for?

There is a new study on teenagers who are between 13 and 19 years old. The study shows that today’s teenagers are growing up more slowly than those before.
Scientists from San Diego State University have worked on a study on the behaviors (行为) of 8 million teenagers in seven different countries over the past 40 years. The results tell us that compared to the teenagers in the past, today’s teenagers are less responsible (负责任的). And it takes them more time to do the same things than their parents did. They are also less likely to have apart-time job. What’s more, when they get older, they begin to know that they should help their parents do housework, while their grandparents and parents helped do housework at a very early age. “This is a ‘slow life way’,” said Professor Jean Twenge.
“The development of today’s teenagers has slowed down. 18-year-olds are more like 15-year-olds in the past,” added Professor Twenge. “Teenagers today are taking much fewer risks than those in the past did.” Scientists have also found that more teenagers spend longer time living with their parents instead of renting (租) their own rooms or apartments.
One of the main reasons for these behaviors is that today’s teenagers would like to spend much time online. They keep on connecting with social media watching videos or playing games on the Internet instead of living in the real world. Another one is that parents do much for their children and protect them too much. In fact, parents had better let their children do everything by themselves. They should try their best to make their children become independent as soon as possible.
8. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The study began in 1960. B. Today’s teenagers don’t like slow life.
C. Teenagers in the past took more risks. D. The study is about 8 million teenagers from America
9. Why do today’s teenagers grow up slowly?
a. Because their parents do too many things for them.
b. Because it’s difficult for them to do well at school.
c. Because they don’t like living in the real world.
d. Because they spend too much time online.
A. ab B. bc C. bd D. ad
10. Which of the following shows the right structure (结构) of the passage?
A. B. C. D.
11. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Teenagers around the world. B. The slow development of today’s teenagers.
C. A study on teenagers in the past. D. Different ideas about today’s teenagers
D
Once upon a time, A wizard (男巫) gave a young queen a magic box. The box would bring happiness to the whole country whenever it was opened in a place full of the spirit of generosity (慷慨).
The queen travelled all over the country, looking for the most generous people. If she found them all, she would open the magic box. However, nothing special happened. How upset she felt!
One day when the queen decided to return to her palace, she saw a poor little boy begging (乞讨). She would like to give the boy some money, but she didn’t have any with her. So the boy asked her if she could give him the old box. Then he could sell it for a little money. At first the queen hesitated, because she knew the box had magical powers. But seeing how poor the boy was, she gave it to him. The boy took the box and opened it.
Immediately (立刻), all the most wonderful things people could imagine started flying out of the box and a voice said, “Why do you look for it in others? Goodness always starts in yourself.”
While enjoying all the wonders of the magic box, the queen learned to set an example to others and she became the best queen ever in history.
12. Why did the queen travel all over the country?
A. To have a great time. B. To look for the most generous people.
C. To look for the poor little boy. D. To show off the magic box to people.
13. All the most wonderful things flew out of the box when the boy opened it because ________.
A. the boy was a beggar and he was poor B. the queen didn’t have any money
C. the queen had the spirit of generosity D. the boy wanted to sell it for money
14. What does the underlined word “hesitated” mean in Chinese?
A. 同意 B. 否定 C. 犹豫 D. 拒绝

One day when the queen decided to return to her palace, she saw a poor little boy begging (乞讨). She would like to give the boy some money, but she didn’t have any with her. So the boy asked her if she could give him the old box. Then he could sell it for a little money. At first the queen hesitated, because she knew the box had magical powers. But seeing how poor the boy was, she gave it to him. The boy took the box and opened it.
Immediately (立刻), all the most wonderful things people could imagine started flying out of the box and a voice said, “Why do you look for it in others? Goodness always starts in yourself.”

【37题详解】
