Sports, drama, and all kinds of organizations keep students busy during high school. Where do they get the money to do these things? Not everyone gets it from parents. Most have to work for at least some of the money to pay for these activities. Some adults question if high school students should have jobs. I say yes, they undoubtedly should.
Some people worry that teens with after-school jobs will have difficulty finding time for schoolwork. Actually, having a job helps teens make better use of their time. Many jobs take only a couple of hours on weeknights. According to an article, 86 percent of high school students have an after-school, weekend or summer job and students who work between 10 and 20 hours per week during the school year get higher grades than those who do not work at all. Instead of considering working after school a hindrance, it should be looked at as real-world education.
Other people think that work adds too much stress（压力）, which may be somewhat true, but whether having a job or not, there is always stress. Better to learn how to deal with busy schedules（日程表）in a controlled environment like high school than to be out on your own and alone in the future, experiencing stress for the first time. I personally would be worried about the teenager who has to become independent without having any experience of working.
The biggest reason teens should work is that it is a healthy way of making money. There are many things teens need to pay for and they cannot do it if they don’t have a job. Not all parents can pay for these activities. My dad told me, “Having a job is a good way to save up for things you are going to need or want to do. You get a lot more out of things if you pay for them yourself.” The sooner kids make money, the sooner they can learn how to use money wisely. If they are not allowed to work in high school, they may have a hard time in the future. Teens should, without a doubt, be allowed to work on school nights.

Having Fun “Growing” and “Stealing”?

Recently, an Internet game has become a new fashion among young office workers and students. People can “farm” on a piece of “land” and “grow”,  “sell” or even “steal” “vegetables”,”flowers”, and “fruits” on the Net. They can earn some e-money and buy more “seeds” , “pets”, and even “houses”.
Joyce interviewed some young people. Here are their opinions.

It’s so beautiful outside that spending the day in the office would be very boring. So why not take the vacations(假期)off? A new survey(调查)found that 31﹪of U.S workers don’t always take all of their vacation days. Americans have 12 vacation days on average(平均)each year, but they give back an average of 3 vacation days each year.
So why don’t they use up their vacation days? Some say they would rather get money back for their unused days; some busy workers say they just can’t leave their work. Americans have fewer vacation days than workers in any other country surveyed.
The French take their vacations seriously. French workers get an average of 39 vacation days, and 40﹪ plan to take at least one there-to-four-week vacation.
Workers in Sweden receive an average of 25 vacation days a year, but they can’t find time to use them all. More workers there return vacation days than any other country surveyed.
British workers have the longest working week in Europe(欧洲),with 23 vacation days --the shortest vacation. So they feel overworked.75﹪ say their weekends or vacations are too short and 40﹪ would sacrifice a day’s pay(工资)for one more vacation day.

The Vieira family moved to the United States in 1981. At that time, they decided to stop speaking Spanish at home and only communicate in English. This was because they were now living in an English－speaking country.
Now the Vieira children are adults, and they sometimes travel to Spain to visit their family and friends. But they cannot communicate with them. Unfortunately this is common. When people move to new countries, they often leave their own customs and mother language behind. This is－a mistake because there are many benefits to knowing more than one language.
One advantage of speaking more than one language is that you can communicate directly with more people around the world. You do not have to depend on others to talk for you, so you're more independent. People who know only one language must use others to help them communicate.
Furthermore, speaking a second language also allows people to experience other cultures and customs more effectively. Local expressions, vocabulary, and even jokes can have a powerful effect on a person's understanding of another culture. So, knowing more than one language increases your knowledge of other cultures.
Finally, having more multi－language speakers improves relationships between countries. If people from different countries can communicate well, the world can become closer. Countries will then have more respect for each other and better understand each other's problems.
The benefits of knowing more than one language are clear. In fact, there are no disadvantages. It is very sad that many people don't try to learn another language. It is even worse when people let themselves forget their mother language and become silenced.
【小题1】What is the passage mainly about?

A．discuss the need for teaching a new language
B．introduce the passage's main characters to the readers
C．describe the advantages of moving to another country
D．show the problems of speaking only one language
【小题3】The underlined phrase "multi－language speakers" (Paragraph 5) means "people who know                 ."
A．their mother languageB．a new language
C．more than one languageD．body language
【小题4】According to the last paragraph, which of the following is the worst?
A．Not knowing another language.

Mr. Ma, a famous mental doctor from Beijing once said at an important meeting, “Now many young students can have problems with their minds. Some students become worried because they have to study very hard. Others have trouble getting on well with people around them like their parents and classmates. Parents and teachers should care more about this problem.”
Then Mr. Ma gave some examples. One patient, a middle school student from Xi’an, was doing  badly in his lessons. He thought his teachers and friends often laughed at him, and he became so nervous and worried that one night he left his home without telling his parents. Another student, a 14-year-old school girl form Shanghai, was very afraid of exams. While she was reading the exam paper, she couldn’t think of anything to write.
A recent report from Jiefang Daily says about 18% of young students in Shanghai have mental problems. They often feel worried and very unhappy. Unluckily many of them won’t go and ask for help. Some think they will look stupid if they go to see a doctor. Others won’t talk about their secrets.
At the end of the meeting, Mr. Ma offered some good ideas to young people:
●Talk to your parents ore teachers often.

●Try to get on well with the people around you.

Below are some suggestions given by the English children posted on the website about how to help Africa. Which do you think is the best?

I think health is the most important thing. We need to make sure that the money we give is spent wisely. The money should be spent first on clean water supplies and better health care.
Robin, aged 16, Birmingham
I think the most important thing is to improve the education of the African countries. There is an old saying,  "If you give a man a fish, you'll feed him for a day. If you teach him how to fish, you'll feed him for a lifetime." We need to help themselves, not just throw money at the problem when it appears.
Rebecca, aged 15, Liverpool
People seem to give a lot more money to charity when there is a sudden, huge disaster（灾难）like the earthquake. It's good for people to do so, but I also think that everyone should give a small part of their salary（工资）to charity. If everyone did that, it would make a big difference.
Mary, aged 14, Stratford-on-Avon
Giving money to charity can help, but it's not the final answer. I think what these countries need is a good government.
Bethany, aged 16, Newcastle
The best thing we can do is to send experts（专家）like engineers, doctors and teachers to help the people to help themselves.
Robert, aged 16, Cardiff
【小题1】Which two children share the similar opinion?
A．Mary and Rebecca B．Bethany and Mary
C．Rebecca and Bethany D．Rebecca and Robert
【小题2】Who pays more attention to African's health care?
A．Mary B．Robin C．Rebecca D．Robert
【小题3】Where are these suggestions posted?
A．In the textbook B．On the website
C．In the guidebook D．In the magazine



It’s Tuesday afternoon, and I’m in Rheinburg, Germany, visiting the Extra Future Store. The “store of the future” is attracting a lot of attention these days– but not for it’s prices. Instead, people are coming from all over to experience a new way to shop.
The experience is less like shopping in a supermarket and more like playing some kind of high–tech game. It starts as I enter the store and choose a shopping cart(购物车). First, I swipe my store ID card through a computer on the cart. The computer’s screen comes on, a map of the store shows, and the journey begins.
As I shop, antennas(天线) around the store send information about different specials to the computer on my cart. Attracted by one of the ads, I choose a box of cheese. I hold up the box to the computer. It displays the price and also suggests that a certain type of bread would be good with it. The map on my chart shows me where to find the bread. It’s like the store is helping me to shop.
How does the store make this kind of shopping experience possible? The answer is radio frequency identification chip (or RFID射频识别). Each chip has a special number. Using an RFID reader on the computer, we can get information from a chip about the product(产品). RFID will help shoppers find the things in a store more quickly– products that are just right for them. In addition, people won’t have to wait in long lines to pay. The things in your cart will be read by the computer and the money will be paid by your store ID card automatically(自动地). So you can simply walk out of the store with your shopping bags.
Sounds good, right? Maybe you will experience the new shopping soon in your city.
【小题1】Why are so many people coming to the Extra Future Store?

A．They hope to buy a new kind of computers.
B．They want to play some new high– tech games.
C．They expect to experience a new way of shopping.
D．They plan to learn how to use the FRID readers.
【小题2】What is the right order to shop in this store?
①Look for the things you want to buy and find them.
②Swipe your store ID card through the computer.
③Walk out of the store without waiting in lines.
④The computer shows you a map and some ads.
⑤Hold up the things to the computer to be charged.
A．②①④③⑤ B．①②⑤③④ C．②①⑤③④ D．②④①⑤③
【小题3】What are Not so necessary for this kind of new stores?
A．Carts with computers. B．RFID readers.
C．Many shop assistants. D．Good products.
【小题4】 Which of the following is the advantage of this new store?
A．The things in the shop are much cheaper.
B．It costs more time to find the things you need.
C．You will buy more things than you really need.
D．It’s more convenient to find the products and to pay.
