Helen is a teenager who has growing problems. She posts her problems on her blog and gets a lot of advice from other bloggers.

Helen: My parents are annoying. They never stop going on about how I should keep my room tidy, keep my hair tidy and wear smart clothes. They even make me do the washing-up after dinner every night! None of my friends have got such parents. What should I do?
Why do you think you're the only one with parents like that? All parents are the same. They want us to look like them. Sometimes it's really annoying. They don't understand that fashions have changed in the last 30 years!
Tom, Canada
Hi, Helen. I think you should do what your parents ask. They're much older than you and you  should take their advice. It's their house you live in and their money you spend.
Emily, New Zealand,
Helen, why should your parents do all the washing-up? You should help around the house---it's only fair.
Simon, Scotland
I don't see why you are so unhappy. Your parents act like that because you are the one they love and care about. We share housework in my family. I even wash the car for my father. And I get paid for that.

You know that eating a suitable diet and getting plenty of exercise help make your body healthy and strong. But did you know that there are ways to make your brain healthier and smarter?
Studies show that when the brains is forced to do something new, it creates new neural (神经元) pathways. The more pathways you have, the faster you can think and the better memory you will have. Wonderful steps towards a smarter brain are as follows:
Choose proper TV programs
Watching an average TV show needs very little brain power and brings the same result as giving no care to physical exercise. Your brain will become weak just as your muscles do,if you watch TV, choose something educational and full of information.
Travel
Traveling to a new country forces you to see and do things in a new way, making your brains more active.
Learning a new language
A new language learner usually uses different learning methods. Learning a language sharpens your brain and helps you prevent memory problems in later years.
Master a new subject
Each week, choose an animal, a bird or a fish, and read everything you can about it. Go on learning unitl you become an expert on the subject.
Use your non-dominant hand
If you are right-handed,use your left hand for everyday activities, or use your right hand if you are left-handed. Doing familiar things in a new way will cause your brain to create new neural networks.
Read often
As you read, take the time to look up people or places that aren’t familiar. Reading can enlarge your vocabulary if you search for words and expressions that you don’t know.
Calculate while you shop
As you put things in your shopping bag, total everything in your head. See how close you get to the actual total.
Play video games
Studies have found that some video games force you to use critical decision-making skills and can even improve students’ math grades.
So get into the habit of challenging your brain, and make yourself smarter!

To my family and friends,
As some of you know, I have just started my tour in the remote mountain area. Everything is going really well, so no      .The land is beautiful but unfortunately it has a lot of        too. I have received several emails asking what I need while I'm here .so I decided to write you all and let you know that I don’t need anything. At least not for me. I’m asking all of you to send me a few       to help the local children. Let me explain.
On 12 May 2009, in a small village here, 120 school age girls were       by a gas leak(煤气泄漏). Most have      but 6 are still in hospital. Even though the local government speaks about the     of education for both boys and girls but most of these kids only attend school for four hours a day if they are even allowed to go. They are so excited and     to learn, but then have to     things like being sprayed(喷射) with acid or poisoned. Most of these kids are poor and can’t     a pencil, pen or even paper to write on. So my co-workers and I are planning a trip to several schools to promote      and to give these kids some of the       they need. That is where all of you come in. If you can, please       whatever school supplies you currently have     .
That would be a huge help.
I know how busy you are so thank you for taking the     to do this and I will post pictures of this    after we go.
Thank you again.

Having a teenager at home can be a real headache. Many teenagers smoke, wear strange hairstyle and even fight. Basically (基本上) , they are often taking risks.
Earlier studies have shown that teenagers are more likely to make irrational decisions than people from any other age group, including children and adults. Is it that teenagers are too young to tell right from wrong? Not really. So what’s the reason?
According to Laurence, a teacher from a US university, the reason is that teenagers care a lot about how their peers (同龄人) view them—that is “peer influence”.
As children enter their teenage years, they spend more time with their friends and classmates, and also they care more about what they think of them. This makes teenagers make decisions without thinking about the costs.
In a test, a group of teenagers were asked to play a video driving game. When they played with their friends watching around them, they took more chances and drove more carelessly because that would increase their possibility of winning. But when they played alone, they drove more safely.
Why do peers have such a big influence on teens’ behavior?
As Laurence sees it, a teenager’s brain is like a car with a good accelerator (油门) but a weak brake (刹车). The “accelerator” is fully developed by teenage years while the “brake” is still not fully developed. When teenagers are watched by their peers, they usually push hard on the accelerator. With their weak brake, it is likely that they are going to end up in an accident. But the good news is that a violent (暴力的) teenager doesn’t necessarily become a violent adult. About two-thirds to three-quarters of violent youth grow out of it. “They get more self-controlled.”
小题1:What does the underlined word “irrational” in the 2nd paragraph mean?
A.Quick.B.Crazy.
C.Careful.D.Correct.
小题2: Why are teenagers often taking risksaccording to the text?
A.They like difficult tasks.
B.They don’t care about costs.
C.They are too young to tell right from wrong.
D.They care a lot about what their peers think of them.
小题3:How does Laurence explain the influence of peer influence on teens’ behavior?
A.By using a metaphor (比喻).
B.By giving examples.
C.By presenting research findings.
D.By performing an in-depth analysis (分析).
小题4:According to the text, with peers around them, teenagers tend to (倾向于) ______.
A.use more self-control
B.become more careful about what they do
C.perform better than when they are alone
D.focus more on short-term benefits(利益)
小题5:What can we learn from the text?
A.Teenagers are easy to have traffic accidents.
B.Peer influence is bad on teenagers.
C.Most of the teenagers become less violent when they grow up.
D.Teenagers shouldn’t spend all the free time with their friends.
