School Psychological Classes Help Stressed Teens
Nowadays, most junior high schools open weekly psychological classes for Grade Nine students. A large-scale survey was done in three local middle schools to collect teenagers’ growing troubles.
The survey shows three widespread worries among ninth graders. The first one is heavy schoolwork. Piles of daily exercises and monthly exams take almost all after-school time. Many students have to stay up late to finish homework, and some waste time on digital products, making them worried about falling behind classmates. The second trouble is poor parent-child communication. Most parents only care about exam scores and ignore kids’ inner moods. When teens want to express opinions, parents often get angry quickly and refuse to listen. The third problem is lack of spare time for hobbies. Students fear giving up sports or painting will affect their grades, so they feel upset all the time.
Professional youth workers give three pieces of advice in psychological lessons. First, draw clear daily schedules and cut back on useless screen activities to save time for hobbies. Second, choose a quiet dinner time to talk calmly with your parents when everyone is relaxed. Never shout during arguments. Third, visit the school psychology room on Wednesday afternoons for one-on-one advice. All talks there are kept secret, and teachers will offer targeted, valuable suggestions to clear your troubles.
It’s normal to have teenage stress. You don’t need to bear all bad feelings alone. Talking openly with trusted people will slowly take away your anxiety.
1.When can students visit the school psychology room for advice?
A.Every Monday B.Every Friday C.Every Wednesday D.Every Sunday
2.Which is NOT mentioned as students’ main trouble in the survey?
A.Too much homework and frequent tests
B.Bad communication with parents
C.Not enough time for personal hobbies
D.Hard to make close friends at school
3.What is the first piece of advice from youth workers?
A.Give up all hobbies to finish homework
B.Make time plans and reduce screen time
C.Argue with parents when you feel unhappy
D.Keep all worries hidden in your heart
4.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.Teenage stress is unusual and terrible
B.We must solve all problems by ourselves
C.Sharing bad feelings can reduce anxiety
D.Psychology teachers will tell your secrets

Have you ever heard of the “12355” hotline? It is a free phone service in China that provides help to teenagers who are facing problems in their lives.
The number is easy to remember: 12355. Any teenager can call this number to talk to a trained counselor about their problems. The counselors are professionals who know how to listen and give useful advice. The service is completely free and the caller’s information is kept secret.
Common problems that teenagers call about include arguments with parents, school bullying, exam stress, friendship troubles, and feelings of loneliness. Some callers just want someone to listen to them, while others are looking for practical solutions.
One caller, a 14-year-old boy called “Xiaoming” (not his real name), shared his experience. “My parents got divorced last year, and I felt very sad and angry. I didn’t want to talk to anyone at school. Then I called 12355, and the counselor helped me understand my feelings. She also taught me some ways to relax when I feel upset. It really helped.”
The 12355 hotline is available in most cities in China. Teenagers can also find help online through the official website or social media accounts. If you are going through a difficult time, remember that asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Growing up is a process full of challenges and changes. As teenagers, we face many difficulties in our lives.
One of the biggest challenges is learning to be independent. We are used to relying on our parents for everything when we are young. But as we grow older, we need to learn to do things on our own, such as doing housework, managing our time, and making decisions. This not only helps us become more self-sufficient but also prepares us for the future.
Another challenge is dealing with stress. We may feel stressed because of exams, relationships with classmates or parents, or other problems. It’s important to find healthy ways to deal with stress, like doing exercise, listening to music, or talking to someone.
In addition, making friends and getting along with others is also an important part of growing up. We need to learn how to communicate effectively, respect others’ feelings, and solve conflicts.

In 1900, Liang Qichao wrote a famous article called “The Young China”. In it, he argued that the future of China depended on its young people. He believed that if Chinese youth were intelligent, strong and independent, China would become a great country.
More than 120 years have passed, but Liang’s words still ring true today. In modern China, young people continue to play an important role in the country’s development. From scientific research to sports competitions, from poverty relief to space exploration, the energy and creativity of China’s youth are everywhere.
Take Zhan Haojing as an example. Born into a family of Minnan puppet performers, she chose to inherit the traditional art at a young age. She held puppet shows at school and posted videos online. Because she shouldered the responsibility, more young people became interested in puppetry.
Liang Qichao once wrote, “The youth of a nation are its future.” Indeed, every generation of young people has its own mission. Today’s teenagers are no exception. They are standing at the forefront of innovation and creation, ready to write a new chapter for their motherland.

A recent survey shows that more than 60% of young people in big cities feel stressed because they can’t keep a balance between work and life. They often work overtime and have little time for family, hobbies or exercise.
Dr. Li, a psychologist, says that this imbalance is bad for both physical and mental health. “When people don’t have time to relax, they get tired easily and may even suffer from anxiety or depression,” he explains. Dr. Li suggests some ways to fix this. First, set clear boundaries between work and life. For example, don’t answer work calls after working hours. Second, make time for activities you enjoy, like reading, sports or spending time with loved ones. Third, learn to say “no” to extra work that will take up too much of your time.
Many people have tried these methods and found them helpful. Wang Mei, a 28-year-old office worker, says, “After I started leaving work on time and doing yoga every evening, I feel much happier and more energetic. My work performance has also improved.”

Many teenagers now have sleeping problems. They often stay up late to finish homework or play with mobile phones. As a result, they feel sleepy in class the next day and can’t focus on their studies.
A recent study shows that nearly 60% of middle school students sleep less than 8 hours every night. Doctors say teenagers should sleep 8 to 10 hours a day. Enough sleep is very important for their physical and mental health. Without enough sleep, teenagers may easily get angry and have trouble dealing with problems.
What causes sleeping problems among teenagers? First, heavy schoolwork is the main reason. Many students have to finish lots of homework every day, so they have to stay up late. Second, using mobile phones before bed also makes it hard to fall asleep. The blue light from the screen stops people from feeling sleepy. Third, some students feel stressed about exams and grades, so they can’t sleep well at night.
How can we solve the problem? Experts give some advice. First, make a proper study plan and try to finish homework during the daytime. Second, stop using phones at least an hour before going to bed. You can read a book or listen to soft music instead. Third, learn to relax. Taking a walk or doing some exercise during the day can help you sleep better at night.

A.Finish homework during the daytime. B.Stop using phones before bed.
C.Do some exercise to relax. D.Drink a cup of coffee before bed.
5.What is the passage mainly about?

More American states are pushing to stop using mobile phones in schools because of teachers’ caring about students’ studies and mental (精神的) health.
Last year, Florida became the first state to stop the use of mobile phones in schools. In July, 2024, Virginia became one of a growing number of US states to stop mobile phone use in public schools. Before Virginia, Indiana and Ohio passed their own laws this year. Several other states, including Oklahoma, Vermont, and Kansas, also introduced what is being called “phone-free schools” legislation (立法). The New York government said a new legislation to stop mobile phone use could take effect in 2025.
In a recent public study, the Pew Research Center reported that nearly three quarters of the US high school teachers say mobile phone distraction (分心) is a serious problem in the classroom. Another study made by Common Sense Media showed that 97% of kids use their phones at school. Each student gets about 60 messages on average during school hours in one day and spends 43 minutes on their phone — about the same length as a full class period. And many experts have raised alarms about how phone use is hurting kids’ mental health and well-being.
Many teachers in the US said students use social media, listen to music, and shop online during the school day. A high school science teacher said, “Students used to have an understanding that they aren’t supposed to use their phones in class. Those days are gone. The only measure that works is to simply remove (拿走) the mobile phones from the students.”

What is your school life like? Can you keep a balance (平衡) between your schoolwork and activities? If you have any problems, who do you want to talk with? Maybe you would not like to share them with teachers or close friends. Then a youth coach (教练) might be a good choice.
A youth coach helps you develop life skills while providing guidance for you. He or she can also help you learn how to deal with stress.
Simon Waltz started a youth coaching company (公司) five years ago. “I offer teenagers a place to talk. I help them find out problems, and then we work them out together,” said Waltz. John’s grades were once very terrible, but he didn’t worry about it at all. Waltz helped him decide on his future plan. Now John has really changed. He’s serious about his schoolwork and hopes to get into a top university and be a great doctor in the future.
Not only John but also other teenagers gained (受益) from the youth coach. Orella is among them. She said, “I’m thankful to my coach Bella Miranda. Her advice is always helpful. I’m really happy to have her by my side at the difficult moments.” Orella was afraid of talking with people and she didn’t know how to get on well with her classmates. Bella talked with Orella about the things she really enjoyed. Because Orella liked music, Bella encouraged her to join the school violin club. By joining it, Orella has made several new friends. She also shared interesting trips with her classmates. With Bella’s encouragement, Orella has kept a good relationship with them.
It is not surprising that you get yourself into trouble. Sometimes it is hard for you to solve it. Maybe you can ask a youth coach for help. He or she can help you solve the problem and achieve success.

1.文章第一段通过提问“学校生活如何?”、“能否平衡学业与活动?”、“有问题找谁倾诉?”等,引出如果不愿向老师或朋友倾诉,可以考虑“青年教练”。这种开头方式旨在引入文章的主题(youth coach)。
2.根据第二段“A youth coach helps you develop life skills while providing guidance for you.”以及第三段“we work them out together”,可知青年教练的作用包括:①提供指导;②帮助发展生活技能;③与青少年共同解决问题。文中并未提及④将问题分享给家人,这通常涉及隐私保护,且不符合教练独立工作的描述。因此选①②③。
3.第三段提到:“John’s grades were once very terrible, but he didn’t worry about it at all... Now John has really changed. He’s serious about his schoolwork...”,说明是Waltz的指导帮助John变得认真对待学业。A项错误,他以前不关心;B项错误,是帮助他制定计划(helped him decide),而不是替他制定;D项错误,文中说他希望成为医生,这是未来的目标,尚未实现。
4.第四段提到:“Bella encouraged her to join the school violin club. By joining it, Orella has made several new friends.”,说明教练是通过鼓励Orella参加她喜欢的活动(音乐/小提琴俱乐部)来帮助她融入集体、结交朋友的。
5. 文章最后一段总结道:“Maybe you can ask a youth coach for help. He or she can help you solve the problem and achieve success.”,表明作者的写作目的是鼓励青少年在遇到问题时寻求青年教练的帮助。

Once a single advertisement is stuck on a clean door, people will keep sticking more until the whole door is ruined, while a door without any advertisements usually stays clean for a long time. This interesting but worrying phenomenon (现象) in our daily life is a perfect example of what we call the “Broken Window Theory”.
The theory comes from an experiment done by a famous American psychologist named Philip Zimbardo in 1969. He left two identical cars in different neighborhoods, one of them with a broken window. To his surprise, the car with the broken window was quickly destroyed and stolen by people passing by, while the other car remained untouched for over a week. This shows that signs of disorder or neglect (忽视) can easily encourage further bad behavior.
This theory explains many problems. For instance, if a piece of litter is left on the sidewalk and nobody cleans it up, passers-by will soon think it is acceptable to throw more rubbish. Similarly, if a student begins to call someone names or use smartphones during class without being stopped, others will follow, which eventually destroys the learning environment. Another example is bullying; if mockery (嘲弄) is not corrected immediately early on, it may grow into serious school bullying.
Thomas Lickona, a famous American education expert, once noted that schools which fail to fix early bad behaviors are actually opening the door to bigger problems. Therefore, teachers must set clear rules from the very beginning and stop any small misbehavior before it turns into a bigger trouble. Meanwhile, students should develop self-discipline and have the courage to say “no” to bad habits, making sure they do not become the person who breaks the first window.
1.Why is the phenomenon described in paragraph 1?
A.To show the effect of the “Broken Window Theory” on readers.
B.To show the importance of learning about the “Broken Window Theory”.
C.To help readers better understand the “Broken Window Theory”.
D.To help readers deal with phenomena related to the “Broken Window Theory”.
2.What does the underlined word “identical” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.clean B.expensive C.private D.similar
3.What may happen after a desk in the classroom becomes messy?
A.Students may clean up the messy desk quickly.
B.More students may leave their desks in a mess.
C.The teacher may ask the student to clean the desk.
D.The student’s grades may drop unexpectedly.
4.What can we know from the passage?
A.Bullying becomes serious because small misbehavior is neglected.
B.Sidewalks become dirty because no cleaners clean them up.
C.The car was stolen because it was left out for a long time.
D.Learning environment was destroyed because of smartphones.
5.What advice is given to students?
A.Stopping bad behaviors. B.Fighting back against bullying.
C.Refusing to follow bad behaviors. D.Obeying school rules.
【答案】1.C 2.D 3.B 4.A 5.C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了“破窗理论”(Broken Window Theory)的来源和原理,并举例说明了该理论在生活中的体现,最后给出教师和学生应如何避免“破窗效应”的建议。
1.第一段通过描述门上贴广告的生活现象,引出这是“破窗理论”的一个完美例子,作者引用此现象的目的是为了让读者更直观地理解什么是“破窗理论”。
2.由第二段“He left two identical cars in different neighborhoods, one of them with a broken window”可知,心理学家为了实验对比效果,放置的两辆车除了窗户状态不同外,其他条件应当是一致的,identical意为“完全相同的”,选项中similar(相似的/同样的)意思最接近。
3.由第三段“if a piece of litter is left on the sidewalk... passers-by will soon think it is acceptable to throw more rubbish”可知,破窗效应会导致更多不良行为,如果教室里一张桌子变乱(无序迹象),根据理论推导,会有更多学生效仿把桌子弄乱。
4.由第三段“if mockery is not corrected immediately early on, it may grow into serious school bullying”可知,如果早期的嘲弄不及时纠正,可能会发展成严重的校园欺凌,这与选项A“欺凌变得严重是因为小的不当行为被忽视”意思一致。
5.文章最后一段明确建议学生“develop self-discipline and have the courage to say ‘no’ to bad habits”,培养自律并有勇气对坏习惯说“不”,这对应选项C“拒绝跟随不良行为”。

$学校:姓名:班级:考号: Unit 2 Teenage problems 单元话题(青少年问题)阅读理解进阶练12篇 说明:此专题分三个难度层次,基础入门训练<进阶拓展训练< 能力综合实践,老师根据学生实际情况进行针对性难度训练。 基础入门训练4篇 School Psychological Classes Help Stressed Teens Nowadays, most junior high schools open weekly psychological classes for Grade Nine students. A large-scale survey was done in three local middle schools to collect teenagers’ growing troubles. The survey shows three widespread worries among ninth graders. The first one is heavy schoolwork. Piles of daily exercises and monthly exams take almost all after-school time. Many students have to stay up late to finish homework, and some waste time on digital products, making them worried about falling behind classmates. The second trouble is poor parent-child communication. Most parents only care about exam scores and ignore kids’ inner moods. When teens want to express opinions, parents often get angry quickly and refuse to listen. The third problem is lack of spare time for hobbies. Students fear giving up sports or painting will affect their grades, so they feel upset all the time. Professional youth workers give three pieces of advice in psychological lessons. First, draw clear daily schedules and cut back on useless screen activities to save time for hobbies. Second, choose a quiet dinner time to talk calmly with your parents when everyone is relaxed. Never shout during arguments. Third, visit the school psychology room on Wednesday afternoons for one-on-one advice. All talks there are kept secret, and teachers will offer targeted, valuable suggestions to clear your troubles. It’s normal to have teenage stress. You don’t need to bear all bad feelings alone. Talking openly with trusted people will slowly take away your anxiety. 1.When can students visit the school psychology room for advice? A.Every Monday B.Every Friday C.Every Wednesday D.Every Sunday 2.Which is NOT mentioned as students’ main trouble in the survey? A.Too much homework and frequent tests B.Bad communication with parents C.Not enough time for personal hobbies D.Hard to make close friends at school 3.What is the first piece of advice from youth workers?

A.Teenage stress is unusual and terrible B.We must solve all problems by ourselves C.Sharing bad feelings can reduce anxiety D.Psychology teachers will tell your secrets A group of students were asked to write about their biggest teenage problems. Here are four of their replies. Amy (14): My parents are very strict. They never allow me to watch TV or play computer games. They say I should spend all my time studying. But I feel so tired every day. I don’t know how to tell them that I need some free time to relax. Peter (15): I have a lot of friends, but sometimes they ask me to do things I don’t want to do, like skipping school or staying out late. I want to say no, but I’m afraid I will lose their friendship. It’s really hard to refuse. Sandy (13): I’m not good at communicating with people. I always feel lonely because I don’t have any close friends. I try to talk to classmates, but I often don’t know what to say. I wish I were more outgoing. David (15): My problem is that I spend too much time on my mobile phone. I know it’s bad for my study and my eyes, but I just can’t stop.

It is a free phone service in China that provides help to teenagers who are facing problems in their lives. The number is easy to remember: 12355. Any teenager can call this number to talk to a trained counselor about their problems. The counselors are professionals who know how to listen and give useful advice. The service is completely free and the caller’s information is kept secret. Common problems that teenagers call about include arguments with parents, school bullying, exam stress, friendship troubles, and feelings of loneliness. Some callers just want someone to listen to them, while others are looking for practical solutions. One caller, a 14-year-old boy called “Xiaoming” (not his real name), shared his experience. “My parents got divorced last year, and I felt very sad and angry. I didn’t want to talk to anyone at school. Then I called 12355, and the counselor helped me understand my feelings. She also taught me some ways to relax when I feel upset. It really helped.” The 12355 hotline is available in most cities in China. Teenagers can also find help online through the official website or social media accounts. If you are going through a difficult time, remember that asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. 1.What is the 12355 hotline? A.A paid service for parents. B.A free phone service for teenagers. C.A website for selling books. D.A TV programme about health. 2.Who answers the calls on the hotline? A.Parents. B.Teachers. C.Counselors.

C.The 12355 hotline helps teenagers deal with problems. D.All teenagers have the same kinds of problems. Nowadays, many teenagers face great pressure in their daily lives. A recent survey shows that 68% of teenagers feel stressed because of schoolwork, while 32% are worried about their relationships with friends and family. How can teenagers deal with stress?

For example, playing sports, drawing or listening to music can help them relax. Second, talking to others is a good way. Sharing feelings with parents, teachers or friends can make them feel better. Third, learning to manage time properly is necessary. Making a study plan can help them avoid rushing to finish homework at the last minute.

As teenagers, we face many difficulties in our lives. One of the biggest challenges is learning to be independent. We are used to relying on our parents for everything when we are young. But as we grow older, we need to learn to do things on our own, such as doing housework, managing our time, and making decisions. This not only helps us become more self-sufficient but also prepares us for the future. Another challenge is dealing with stress. We may feel stressed because of exams, relationships with classmates or parents, or other problems. It’s important to find healthy ways to deal with stress, like doing exercise, listening to music, or talking to someone. In addition, making friends and getting along with others is also an important part of growing up. We need to learn how to communicate effectively, respect others’ feelings, and solve conflicts. Growing up is not easy, but it is a necessary journey. By facing these challenges bravely, we can become better and stronger. 1.What is the main idea of the passage? A.The importance of being independent. B.How to deal with stress. C.The challenges of growing up and how to face them. D.How to make friends. 2.What is one of the biggest challenges for teenagers? A.Dealing with stress. B.Making friends. C.Learning to be independent. D.Getting along with parents. 3.Why do teenagers need to learn to be independent? A.Because it helps them become more self-sufficient. B.Because it makes them feel less stressed. C.Because it helps them make more friends. D.Because it makes them more popular. 4.What does the underlined word “conflicts” mean in Chinese? A.合作 B.交流 C.冲突 D.友谊 5.How can teenagers deal with stress? A.By relying on parents. B.By doing exercise, listening to music, or talking to someone. C.By avoiding problems. D.By making more friends. In 1900, Liang Qichao wrote a famous article called “The Young China”. In it, he argued that the future of China depended on its young people. He believed that if Chinese youth were intelligent, strong and independent, China would become a great country. More than 120 years have passed, but Liang’s words still ring true today. In modern China, young people continue to play an important role in the country’s development. From scientific research to sports competitions, from poverty relief to space exploration, the energy and creativity of China’s youth are everywhere. Take Zhan Haojing as an example. Born into a family of Minnan puppet performers, she chose to inherit the traditional art at a young age. She held puppet shows at school and posted videos online. Because she shouldered the responsibility, more young people became interested in puppetry. Liang Qichao once wrote, “The youth of a nation are its future.” Indeed, every generation of young people has its own mission. Today’s teenagers are no exception. They are standing at the forefront of innovation and creation, ready to write a new chapter for their motherland. 1.What did Liang Qichao believe about China’s future? A.It depended on old traditions. B.It lay with young people. C.It was decided by the government. D.It had nothing to do with teenagers. 2.In which area are young people NOT mentioned as playing an important role? A.Scientific research. B.Sports competitions. C.Business management. D.Space exploration. 3.Why did more young people become interested in puppetry? A.Because Zhan Haojing’s grandfather was famous. B.Because the government required them to learn it. C.Because Zhan Haojing worked hard to promote it. D.Because puppetry became a school subject. 4.What does the underlined word “mission” in Paragraph 4 mean? A.任务 B.假期 C.礼物 D.爱好 5.What is the writer’s purpose in writing this passage? A.To introduce Liang Qichao’s life story. B.To encourage teenagers to take responsibility. C.To explain why puppetry is old-fashioned. D.To compare ancient China with modern China. A recent survey shows that more than 60% of young people in big cities feel stressed because they can’t keep a balance between work and life. They often work overtime and have little time for family, hobbies or exercise. Dr. Li, a psychologist, says that this imbalance is bad for both physical and mental health. “When people don’t have time to relax, they get tired easily and may even suffer from anxiety or depression,” he explains. Dr. Li suggests some ways to fix this. First, set clear boundaries between work and life. For example, don’t answer work calls after working hours. Second, make time for activities you enjoy, like reading, sports or spending time with loved ones. Third, learn to say “no” to extra work that will take up too much of your time. Many people have tried these methods and found them helpful. Wang Mei, a 28-year-old office worker, says, “After I started leaving work on time and doing yoga every evening, I feel much happier and more energetic. My work performance has also improved.” 1.What does the survey show? A.Most young people enjoy their work. B.Over 60% of young people in big cities struggle with work-life balance. C.Young people in small cities feel less stressed. D.Work-life balance doesn’t affect mental health. 2.According to Dr. Li, what is a result of work-life imbalance? A.Better work performance. B.More energy. C.Anxiety or depression. D.Improved relationships. 3.Which suggestion does Dr. Li NOT give? A.Set boundaries between work and life. B.Do enjoyable activities in free time. C.Accept all extra work to get promoted. D.Learn to refuse unnecessary work. 4.What can we learn from Wang Mei’s experience? A.Working overtime makes people more productive. B.Yoga is the only way to improve work-life balance. C.Making time for relaxation helps both health and work. D.Young people should quit their jobs to reduce stress. Many teenagers now have sleeping problems. They often stay up late to finish homework or play with mobile phones. As a result, they feel sleepy in class the next day and can’t focus on their studies. A recent study shows that nearly 60% of middle school students sleep less than 8 hours every night. Doctors say teenagers should sleep 8 to 10 hours a day. Enough sleep is very important for their physical and mental health. Without enough sleep, teenagers may easily get angry and have trouble dealing with problems. What causes sleeping problems among teenagers? First, heavy schoolwork is the main reason. Many students have to finish lots of homework every day, so they have to stay up late. Second, using mobile phones before bed also makes it hard to fall asleep. The blue light from the screen stops people from feeling sleepy. Third, some students feel stressed about exams and grades, so they can’t sleep well at night. How can we solve the problem? Experts give some advice. First, make a proper study plan and try to finish homework during the daytime. Second, stop using phones at least an hour before going to bed. You can read a book or listen to soft music instead. Third, learn to relax. Taking a walk or doing some exercise during the day can help you sleep better at night. 1.What may happen if teenagers don’t have enough sleep? A.They may do well in studies. B.They may get angry easily. C.They may feel very relaxed. D.They may be in good health. 2.What is the main reason for teenagers’ sleeping problems? A.Heavy schoolwork. B.Using mobile phones. C.Exam stress. D.Bad living habits. 3.Why is it bad to use phones before bed? A.Because it makes people feel hungry. B.Because it is bad for people’s eyes. C.Because the blue light stops people from feeling sleepy. D.Because people may see bad news on phones. 4.Which of the following is NOT the experts’ advice? A.Finish homework during the daytime. B.Stop using phones before bed. C.Do some exercise to relax. D.Drink a cup of coffee before bed. 5.What is the passage mainly about? A.Teenagers’ sleeping problems and solutions. B.The importance of enough sleep. C.How to get on well with parents. D.Ways to deal with exam stress. 能力综合实践4篇 More American states are pushing to stop using mobile phones in schools because of teachers’ caring about students’ studies and mental (精神的) health. Last year, Florida became the first state to stop the use of mobile phones in schools. In July, 2024, Virginia became one of a growing number of US states to stop mobile phone use in public schools. Before Virginia, Indiana and Ohio passed their own laws this year. Several other states, including Oklahoma, Vermont, and Kansas, also introduced what is being called “phone-free schools” legislation (立法). The New York government said a new legislation to stop mobile phone use could take effect in 2025. In a recent public study, the Pew Research Center reported that nearly three quarters of the US high school teachers say mobile phone distraction (分心) is a serious problem in the classroom. Another study made by Common Sense Media showed that 97% of kids use their phones at school. Each student gets about 60 messages on average during school hours in one day and spends 43 minutes on their phone — about the same length as a full class period. And many experts have raised alarms about how phone use is hurting kids’ mental health and well-being. Many teachers in the US said students use social media, listen to music, and shop online during the school day. A high school science teacher said, “Students used to have an understanding that they aren’t supposed to use their phones in class. Those days are gone. The only measure that works is to simply remove (拿走) the mobile phones from the students.” 1.Which state is the latest to stop mobile phone use? A.Florida. B.Indiana. C.Ohio. D.Virginia. 2.How does the writer show the situation of students using mobile phones in Paragraph 3? A.By listing numbers. B.By raising questions. C.By giving reasons. D.By comparing differences. 3.What do the studies in the text show about mobile phone use in US high schools? A.Only a few students bring phones to school. B.Phone use is a big problem during class time. C.Most teachers allow phones in their lessons. D.Students spend less than 20 minutes on phones a day. 4.What does the underlined word “measure” probably mean? A.测量 B.结果 C.措施 D.评价 5.In which part of a magazine may you read this text? A.Sports. B.Nature. C.Education. D.Culture. What is your school life like? Can you keep a balance (平衡) between your schoolwork and activities? If you have any problems, who do you want to talk with? Maybe you would not like to share them with teachers or close friends. Then a youth coach (教练) might be a good choice. A youth coach helps you develop life skills while providing guidance for you. He or she can also help you learn how to deal with stress. Simon Waltz started a youth coaching company (公司) five years ago. “I offer teenagers a place to talk. I help them find out problems, and then we work them out together,” said Waltz. John’s grades were once very terrible, but he didn’t worry about it at all. Waltz helped him decide on his future plan. Now John has really changed. He’s serious about his schoolwork and hopes to get into a top university and be a great doctor in the future. Not only John but also other teenagers gained (受益) from the youth coach. Orella is among them. She said, “I’m thankful to my coach Bella Miranda. Her advice is always helpful. I’m really happy to have her by my side at the difficult moments.” Orella was afraid of talking with people and she didn’t know how to get on well with her classmates. Bella talked with Orella about the things she really enjoyed. Because Orella liked music, Bella encouraged her to join the school violin club. By joining it, Orella has made several new friends. She also shared interesting trips with her classmates. With Bella’s encouragement, Orella has kept a good relationship with them. It is not surprising that you get yourself into trouble. Sometimes it is hard for you to solve it. Maybe you can ask a youth coach for help. He or she can help you solve the problem and achieve success. 1.Why does the writer ask the questions in Paragraph 1? A.To ask for direction. B.To introduce the topic. C.To compare different ideas. D.To tell a personal story. 2.What can a youth coach do for teenagers? ①Guide teenagers ②Help teenagers develop life skills ③Solve the problems together with teenagers ④Share teenagers’ problems with their family members A.①②③ B.②③④ C.①②④ D.①③④ 3.What can we know from Paragraph 3? A.John is always interested in study. B.Waltz made a future plan instead of John. C.Waltz’s guidance helped John become serious about his schoolwork. D.Waltz finally helped John to achieve his dream of being a doctor. 4.How did the youth coach help Orella? A.By teaching her how to play the violin very well. B.By helping her with her school subjects directly. C.By encouraging her to join in activities she liked. D.By talking with her classmates about her problems. 5.Why does the writer write the passage? A.To explain how to organize school activities. B.To teach teenagers how to make more friends. C.To advise teenagers to become a youth coach in the future. D.To encourage teenagers to ask a youth coach for help. A report says that young people who were born between 2005 and 2019 have different ways of life. Here are some hot ways in 2025.

Once a single advertisement is stuck on a clean door, people will keep sticking more until the whole door is ruined, while a door without any advertisements usually stays clean for a long time. This interesting but worrying phenomenon (现象) in our daily life is a perfect example of what we call the “Broken Window Theory”. The theory comes from an experiment done by a famous American psychologist named Philip Zimbardo in 1969. He left two identical cars in different neighborhoods, one of them with a broken window. To his surprise, the car with the broken window was quickly destroyed and stolen by people passing by, while the other car remained untouched for over a week. This shows that signs of disorder or neglect (忽视) can easily encourage further bad behavior. This theory explains many problems. For instance, if a piece of litter is left on the sidewalk and nobody cleans it up, passers-by will soon think it is acceptable to throw more rubbish. Similarly, if a student begins to call someone names or use smartphones during class without being stopped, others will follow, which eventually destroys the learning environment. Another example is bullying; if mockery (嘲弄) is not corrected immediately early on, it may grow into serious school bullying. Thomas Lickona, a famous American education expert, once noted that schools which fail to fix early bad behaviors are actually opening the door to bigger problems. Therefore, teachers must set clear rules from the very beginning and stop any small misbehavior before it turns into a bigger trouble. Meanwhile, students should develop self-discipline and have the courage to say “no” to bad habits, making sure they do not become the person who breaks the first window. 1.Why is the phenomenon described in paragraph 1?
