9.Does a Dog Help a Teen with Low Self-esteem?
A dog is known as man's best friend for good reason.Loyal and affectionate,a dog companion can enrich its owner's life in many ways,(71)E Many teenagers suffer from periods of low self-esteem (自尊)as they try to navigate the wavy waters of adolescence and deal with all of its associated highs and lows.
A teenager who lacks self-esteem may feel isolated from his peers and unable to tell his parents about personal issues.The company of a dog can be a huge comfort and ease feelings of loneliness and awkwardness.A dog offers genuine unconditional love.(72)B
All dogs need exercise,so taking his clog for a walk is the perfect opportunity for a teenager to get outdoors and benefit from fresh air and physical activity.Exercise allows people to take control of their bodies,which is often the first step toward regaining control of other aspects of their life,says mental health specialist Dr.Alan Cohen.(73)G Exercise releases chemicals called endorphins (内排肽)into the brain?which create positive responses in the body,including improved selfesteem.
Dogs can help teenagers be more sociable and make new friends,suggests HELPGUIDE.(74)F A dog is a great ice-breaker,avoiding awkward social situations and putting the teenager at ease with people he meets.The more confident the teen becomes when out and about with his clog,the more his self-esteem will improve.
(75)A If a teenager is suffering from depression or developing dangerous habits such as alcohol and drug abuse,more extreme action may be required.In these cases,professional help should be sought and all treatment plans considered.Parents who suspect that their teen's low selfesteem is a sign of a far more serious problem should ask a suitably qualified health professional for advice.

A.In some cases,having a dog will not help with a teenager's low self-esteem.
B.It simply accepts its owner for who he is and doesn't judge,question or criticize.
C.Pets offer an unconditional love that can be very helpful to people with depression.
D.You don't have to worry about hurting your pet's feelings or getting advice you don't want.
E.In particular,someone with low self-esteem may find a pet dog to be extremely beneficial.
F.A teen may meet his peers while walking his dog in the park or taking part in a dog training class.
G.Many forms of exercise besides walking can be enjoyed with a dog,such as cycling,jogging and throwing a ball.

4.Road politeness is not only good manners,but good sense too.It takes the most cool-headed and good-tempered drivers to resist the temptation to take revenge ( 报复)on uncivilized behavior.On the other hand,a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the tensions of driving.A friendly nod or a wave of acknowledgement in response to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of goodwill and tolerance so necessary in modem traffic conditions.But such acknowledgements of politeness are all too rare today.Many drivers nowadays don't even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.
However,misplaced politeness can be dangerous.Typical examples are the driver who brakes violently to allow a car to come out of a side street at some danger to following traffic; or the man who waves a child across a zebra crossing into the path of oncoming vehicles that may be unable to stop in time.The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they like to.It always amazes me that the highways are not covered with the dead bodies of these grannies.
An experienced driver,whose manners are fauldess,told me it would help if motorists learnt to move correcdy into traffic streams one at a time without causing the total blockages that give rise to bad temper.Unfortunately,modem motorists can't even leam to drive,let alone master the less obvious points of roadmanship.Years ago the experts warned us that an explosion in car-ownership would demand a lot more give and take from all road users.It's high time for all of us to take this message to heart'.

60.According to the passage,the role of politeness isD.
A.resisting the temptation to take revenge on uncivilized behavior

C.the driver's tolerance of bad or even rude behavior

C.The driver suddenly stops to permet a car to come from a side street at some danger to following traffic.
D.The driver waves a child across a zebra crossing into the path of oncoming vehicles that may be unable to stop in time.
63.In the writer's opinion,B.
A.strict traffic regulations are badly needed

14.Well,parents,surprise!Lots of us are using Twitter and Facebook to thumb rides,and not just to school.It's awkward to be refused when you call a friend and ask for a ride.But with Twitter,you just look for other people heading the same way.
    It may sound risky,so many teens stay within their own social circles to find rides,and don't branch out beyond friends when asking on Twitter just like me,but to some young people,especially those taking longer trips,stranger danger is less of a concern.
"I think the digital connection of young people is really key,because younger generations grew up sharing things on line,sharing files,photos,music,etc,so they've been very used to sharing,"said Juliet Schor,a sociology professor at Boston College.
    The sharing economy got big during the recession (经济衰退),allowing people to access more goods,services using technology and even to share costs.And that technology,for me,is what the car was for my mom,a gateway to more freedom,like what my friend Earl says,"The symbol of freedom isn't the car any more because there's technology out there connecting you to a car."
According to the researchers at the University of Michigan,30 years ago,eight in ten American 18-year-olds had a driver's license compared to six in ten today.So it's not that surprising that on my 16th birthday I wasn't rushing to get a license but an iPhone.
"Driving,for young people,does mean they have to disconnect from their technology,and that's a negative.So if they could sit in the passage side and still be connected,that's going to be a plus."Schor continued.
To me,another plus is that ridesharing represents something,something much bigger than trying to save money.I see it as evidence that people still depend on each other.My generation shares their cars and apartments the way neighbors used to share cups of sugar.For the system to work,some of us still need our own cars.But until I get my own version of the silver Super Beetle,you can find me on Twitter.

29.The American teens like me,prefer to possess an iPhone as a birthday gift becauseC.
A.it is most fashionable and cool              
B.they are bored with driving cars
C.they are fond of being connected             
D.it is much cheaper than a car
30.We can learn from the text thatB.
A.Twitter is a website for teens to make friends and achieve goals
B.ridesharing can be seen as a sign that people still count on each other
C.driving cars for teens means a plus and connecting with technology
D.having a car and cost-sharing symbolize more freedom for the author's mother
31.Professor Juliet would agree thatD.
A.young people will sit waiting to be contacted by reading a passage
B.sharing economy is bound to be responsible for the recession
C.young people tend to share a car with strangers by means of Twitter
D.being connected via technology comes first for young people
32.The best title for the passage is probablyC
A.Twitter,an Awesome Website             
B.Cars or iPhone
C.Teens Use Twitter to Thumb Rides        
D.Cool Teens on the Go.
