★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆

(I wrote a letter to the future of me recently. And here is the letter.)

Dear Taylor,

First of all,let's get this straight: I would much rather visit you in person,but I have yet to discover time travel. Seriously,though,I have some things to say to you.

To begin with,change is good. As my time in high school is coming to a close,I realize this now more than ever. If it weren't for change,you would still be the same awkward twelve-year-old. I do think you would be somewhat shocked at how far you’ve come since the beginning of high school. Like,guess what? You’ve stopppd wearing makeup and straightening your hair to impress people. You have better things to do (like sleep) . Also,you haven’t lost all your weight,but you’ve gained the self-confidence you've been missing for a very long time.

You’re probably not looking for advice because you want to be able to do everything on your own,but I'm going to tell you a few things anyway.

● Don’t apologize for your opinion* In fact,stop apologizing for so many things. It's unfair to yourself.

● Forgiveness is good,but you are not a doormat. Don’t be afraid not to let someone back in.

● Tell your grandparents you love them all the time.

● Put down that salad and pick up the cheeseburger. You hate salad,and you know it.

You should also know that you will lose parts of yourself. You will stop believing in lots of things,people,and ideas,but vou are still left whole. You are still you- even more so.

But,sadly,the world is going to let you down a lot. You are going to see awful things happen on the news,and you’ re going to feel frustrated because you can't do anything. However,the most important thing that you will come to realize is that your voice matters. You,just like everyone else,have some amazing things to say.

Lastly,I want to tell you I love you,and I believe in you. Love,

YOU

The American Dream has been described as "a dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyoneThis dream became reality once in the United States,but are Americans today enjoying the standard of living that their parents and grandparents enjoyed in the post-war years?

After the Second World War,many Americans became richer and their living standards increased as the economy grew. From 1945 to 1973,incomes increased by about 3% per year. From the mid-1970s to the mid-1990s,incomes rose very slowly,but then they increased sharply for five years between 1995 and 2000. Overall,incomes have been rising by less and less each year and now the annual increase is almost nothing.

Job security and unemployment also play a role in the standard of living. Nowadays,factories and offices are closing,so jobs are less secure. Unemployment,too,is higher than it was in the past. The number of people without a job in the 1950s fell to around 2. 5%, but now this figure stands at around 9. 5%.

Another measure of the standard of living is the health of the population. Life expectancy is an important measurement of the health in a country. Life expectancy has increased from 68 years old in 1950 to 78 today,but the United States is now behind Germany and the United Kingdom (80) , France (81) and Japan (82) . One reason for this problem with life expectancy in the United States is obesity,because this has an effect on the general health of the population. In the United States,35% of adults are obese now,compared wilh 10% in 1950. This increase is due to the consumption of fast food.

Of course,most Americans own more things than in the post-war years such as TVs and phones. However,some economists would argue that the standard of living cannot be rising if people are becoming less healthy,or if they cannot afford to retire. It seems that although we think we have a better standard of living,this may not be the real picture.

9. According to the text,which of the following is a measurement of the health in a country?

A. Obesity rate. B. Life expectancy.

C. The food people eat. D. The exercise people do.

10. How does the author probably feel about the standard of living in America today?

A. Hopeful. B. Surprised.

C. Dissatisfied. D. Uninterested.

11. The author introduces American people's living standards mainly by.

A. listing figures and making comparisons

B. following the order of importance

C. following the order of space

D. giving definitions

12. Which of the following shows the structure of the text?

CP: Central Point P: Point

Sp: Sub-point (次要点) C: Conclusion

When my grandfather left school,he got his first job as a office worker. In those days,he was extreme thin. He paid very little,so he could not afford to eating a lot. I have one or two photos of her from that time,and he looks just like me,but a lot thin!When he grew older,he worked at all sorts of thing,such as reporting for a local newspaper and worked as a part-time salesman. He worked hardly all his life,but he always found out time for the things he enjoyed,like going fishing on weekends or reading books at home.

You've probably heard about the -dangers of smoking. The good news is that fewer teens smoke today than at any time since the 1990s. But here's the bad news. Every day,nearly 4,000 kids in the U.S. try a cigarette for the first time. And every day,1,000 kids become regular smokers. Almost all teen smokers plan to quit within five years. But more than 60 percent are still smoking 7 to 9 years later.

Most people hope every teen in the world stays away from cigarettes,but not the people who work for- tobacco companies. Before people knew that cigarettes were dangerous,tobacco companies openly marketed their products to teens. In the early 1900s,some cigarette packs included collectible baseball cards. In the 1940s and 1950s,tobacco advertisements often featured actors and actresses. That ended in 1964,when the U.S. government released the results of a major scientific study on the effects of smoking on health. New laws banned cigarette advertising on TV and radio.

Advertising isn't the only way tobacco companies have tried to market their products. Candy-flavor^

cigarettes were once common. They contained tone (有毒的) chemicals and were as dangerous and addictive as regular cigarettes. Studies showed that these products were especially popular among teen smokers. And many teens mistakenly believed that these sweet cigarettes were safer than unflavored cigarettes. In 2009,flavored cigarettes were banned in the U.S..

By now,maybe you,ve noticed a pattern: Each time new laws are passed to protect teens,tobacco companies come up with new methods. Many states have approved high taxes on cigarettes; and prices have been increased to reduce smoking. To deal with this,tobacco companies give discounts to convenience stores so they can charge less for cigarettes.

The fact is that tobacco companies need you to become addicted to a deadly habit. Without new smokers,they will eventually go out of business. But you can at least make sure of one thing: They won't get you.
