Four Best Books for Teens
Everything We Never Had
In Randy Ribay’s book, we witness four generations of Filipino American boys — Francisco in 1929, Emil in 1965, Chris in 1983, and Enzo in 2020 — and how the immigrant story in the United States shapes them all.
Every Time You Hear That Song
Inspired by Dolly Parton’s real-life time capsule(胶囊), which sits in Dollywood, waiting to be opened on Dolly’s 100th birthday, Every Time You Hear That Song is written by Jenna Voris from two points of view. The first is that of 17-year-old Darren Purchase, a journalist from the small town of Mayberry, Arkansas, who wants to unearth the story behind country music legend Decklee Cassel’s empty time capsule. The second is that of Decklee Cassel in the 1960s, coming up in the music world, and what she had to give up to succeed.
Snowglobe
In Soyoung Park’s award-winning novel, all is not what it seems in Snowglobe — the sunny, green, celebrity-filled city and the last place on earth that isn’t frozen. Residents of the frozen world (the result of the climate crisis) work hard to keep Snowglobe warm. This book is translated from the original Korean.
Gita Desai Is Not Here to Shut Up
Gita Desai Is Not Here to Shut Up written by Sonia Patel is considered as a tough read that’s worth the discomfort. In it, 18-year-old Gita Desai, a freshman at Stanford, dreams of being a doctor but is pulled off her path by a series of situations that unearth an awful secret from her past. It is based on the author’s own experiences.
21. Who wrote Everything We Never Had?
A. Sonia Patel. B. Randy Ribay. C. Soyoung Park. D. Jenna Voris.
22. What is Decklee Cassel?
A. A musician. B. A novelist. C. A student. D. A journalist.
23. What is a feature of Gita Desai Is Not Here to Shut Up?
A. It is written from two points of view. B. It tells stories of Filipino American boys.
C. It is translated from the original Korean. D. It is based on the author’s own experiences.
B
The rolled-up painting of a female figure was discovered in a pile of rubbish that a junk dealer was hired to throw away in the early 1960s, and it hung in the family living room and then restaurant in Pompei, near Naples, for years until his son decided to investigate.
The junk dealer’s son Andrea Lo Russo said that his first inkling of the painting’s origin came when he saw a Picasso in a middle school textbook, but neither his teacher nor his father was persuaded.
His curiosity continued, and in his early 20s, Lo Russo drove to Paris and brought the painting to the Picasso Museum. “They looked, and they said, ‘It is not possible,’” Lo Russo recalled. He turned down their invitation to leave the painting for further examination, not wanting to give it up.
After decades of trying to determine the painting’s origin, Lo Russo believed that a recent battery of tests carried out by the Swiss-based Arcadia Foundation finally offered proof that it’s the work of Picasso. “We include lab tests that show the paints used are consistent with Picasso’s color palette during the period,” said Luca Marcante, a trained chemist who founded the Arcadia Foundation in 2000 to investigate the origin of artworks. “Most recently, a handwriting expert authenticated (证实) the signature on the upper left-hand corner as that of Picasso.”
The only group that can authenticate the painting is the Picasso Administration in Paris. It hasn’t responded to a series of requests over the years. Marcante said that he was preparing to share the most recent findings with them. “The only real one is Lo Russo’s because we have examined it in a scientific manner. We are completely sure about our work, and about the results science has given us,” Marcante said. “We can touch this painting with our hands. It is real. It is authentic.”
24. What does the underlined word “inkling” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Thought. B. Decision. C. Lesson. D. Report.
25. Why did Lo Russo drive to the Picasso Museum?
A. To do some tests on his own. B. To pick up his father working there.
C. To seek confirmation on a painting. D. To enjoy Picasso’s paintings.
26. What can be learned from Marcante’s words in the last paragraph?
A. He avoided touching the painting. B. He was confident of his judgement.
C He was a famous handwriting expert. D. He worked for the Picasso Administration.
27. Which word can best describe Lo Russo?
A. Kind-hearted. B. Open-minded. C. Generous. D. Determined.
C
Around the US, educators say students in class routinely send messages, listen to music and shop online. There are also countless other examples of how smartphones disturb teaching and learning. “Students used to have an understanding that they weren't supposed to be on their phone in class. Those days are gone,” said James Granger, a high school teacher.
The impact that phones have on teenagers in America today is well-documented, but teachers say parents are often not aware to what extent students use them inside the classroom. And increasingly, educators and experts are speaking with one voice on the question of how to handle it: No phones during classes.
Last year, Florida became the first state to crack down on phones in school. A law that took effect in July required all Florida public schools to ban (禁止) student cellphone use during class time and block access to social media on district Wi-Fi. Some districts, including Orange County Public Schools, went further and banned phones the entire school day. Oklahoma, Vermont and Kansas have also recently introduced what is becoming known as the “phone-free schools” policy.
Some students say such policies cut off their main mode of communication with family and friends. Pushback has also come from parents who fear being cut off from their kids if there is a school emergency. Jaden Willoughey, 14, shares the concern about being out of contact with his parents if there’s a crisis.
“It took a few years to change the cellphone policy and find a system that worked,” said Jared Christensen, the school’s vice principal. “At first it was a battle. But it has been so worth it. Students are more attentive and engaged during class time. Teachers are able to teach without competing with cellphones. And student learning has increased,” he said, citing test scores that were at or above state averages for the first time in years. “I can’t definitively say it’s because of this policy. But I know it’s helping.”
28. What can we learn from paragraph 1?
A. The functions of smartphones are increasing.
B. Most of the Americans choose to shop online.
C Listening to music is good for students’ mental health.
D. More and more US students are using phones in class.
29. Florida was the first state in America to ________.
A. introduce a course on social media B. provide smartphones for poor kids
C. push for a cellphone ban in school D. allow students to use computers at school
30. What is Jaden Willoughey’s attitude to the “phone-free schools” policy?
A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Unconcerned. D. Unclear.
31. Which statement will Jared Christensen probably agree with?
A. There is competition among teachers. B. It is worthwhile to battle for freedom.
C. His students have made little progress. D. The new cellphone policy is beneficial.
D
Imagine a customer-service center that speaks your language, no matter what it is. Alorica, a company in Irvine, California, which runs customer-service centers around the world, has introduced an artificial intelligence (AI) translation tool that lets its workers talk with customers who speak 200 different languages and 75 dialects. So an Alorica worker who speaks, say, only Spanish can deal with a complaint about an incorrect bank statement from a Cantonese speaker in Hong Kong. And it wouldn’t need to hire an employee who speaks Cantonese.
However, Alorica isn’t cutting jobs. It will increasingly hire those who are comfortable with new technology.
Potentially, the threat: Perhaps companies won’t need as many employees — and will cut some jobs — if chatbots can handle the workload instead. Consider Suumit Shah, an Indian businessman who caused an uproar last year by saying that he had replaced 90% of his customer support staff with a chatbot named Lina. The move at Shah’s company, Dukaan, which helps customers set up e-commerce sites, reduced the response time to an inquiry from 1 minute, 44 seconds to “instant”. It also cut the typical time needed to solve problems from more than two hours to just over three minutes.
Similarly, researchers at Harvard Business School found in a study last year that job postings for writers, coders and artists decreased greatly within eight months of the arrival of ChatGPT.
But being exposed to AI doesn’t necessarily mean losing your job to it. The Swedish furniture retailer IKEA, for example, introduced a customer-service chatbot in 2021 to handle simple inquiries. Instead of cutting jobs, IKEA retrained 8,500 customer-service workers to handle such tasks as advising customers on interior design and fielding complex customer calls.
The experience at Alorica and IKEA suggests that AI may not prove to be the job killer that many people fear. Instead, the technology might turn out to be more like breakthroughs of the past—the steam engine, electricity and the Internet, which get rid of some jobs while creating others and probably make workers more productive in general to the eventual benefit of workers themselves, their employers and the economy.
32. What does the author want to tell us by the example in paragraph 1?
A. The power of AI. B. The threat from humans.
C. The customer requirements. D. The tips on language learning.
33. What advantage does Lina have over other staff?
A. Winning the trust of customers. B. Responding to customers faster.
C. Selling more products to customers. D. Having a great relationship with Shah.
34. What were IKEA’s customer-service workers asked to do in 2021?
A. Take on other duties. B. Leave their company.
C Move to HongKong. D. Develop latest chatbots.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. How Will AI Change Our Lives? B. How Should We Use AI Effectively?
C. Will AI Take Away Many Human Jobs? D. What Is the Future of Traditional Companies?

Chris used to stay anxious and stressed all the time. He was troubled by the fact that he had to bear all the expenses of the house and responsibility of the whole family and that relatives kept visiting his place.
Thinking about all these things, he used to scold (训斥) his children and quarrel with his wife on one or other issue. Gradually, the atmosphere at home was very tense.
One day when he was angry with himself for the mistake he made at work, his son Dan came to him and said, “Father, please help me with my homework.” Chris scolded his son and asked him to walk away. But later when he calmed down, he went to his son’s room and saw that his son was asleep, holding a copy of his homework in his hands. Chris took the copy and looked at it quickly. He was about to put it back when he read the title of the homework. It was—Things That We Don’t Like at First but Later Realize That They Are Good.
The child had to write a paragraph on this title. Out of curiosity, Chris started reading what his kid had written: I am thankful for my final exams because they upset me in the beginning but after that there are school holidays. I am thankful for medicines that taste bad because they taste bitter at first but they cure my illness. I am thankful for my alarm clock that annoys me but wakes me up every morning and tells me that I am alive. I am also very thankful that I have such a good father because his scolding makes me feel very bad at first but to some extent helps me make some progress in my learning.

【67题答案】
【答案】After reading his son’s homework, Chris was lost in thought. He realized that his son had a deeper understanding of life than he had expected. The boy saw the good in things that seemed unpleasant at first, and even found value in his father’s scolding. Chris felt a wave of guilt wash over him. He had been so focused on his own stress and anxieties that he had neglected to see the positive impact his tough love was having on his son. He understood now that his scolding, though harsh, was a way of pushing his son to become better.
Realizing all these, he suddenly became relaxed. The tension in his shoulders eased, and a smile spread across his face. He decided to change his approach to parenting. Instead of scolding and quarreling, he would try to communicate more effectively with his family, sharing his feelings and concerns instead of bottling them up. He would also make an effort to appreciate the good in every situation, just as his son had done. Chris knew that it wouldn’t be easy, but he was ready to make the effort for the sake of his family’s happiness and harmony. From that day on, Chris made a conscious effort to be a more understanding and supportive father, and the atmosphere at home gradually became warmer and more loving.
