4.Stress for a teenager is as real a problem as stress for an adult.Therefore,it's important to understand the causes of stress in teenagers.
When parents change their jobs or if the family decides to move to a different place,the child has to change schools,find new friends,adapt to the new social circle and fit into new groups.It is always difficult for children to adapt to such changes,which can be a serious cause of stress in their life.
Academic difficulties,such as inability to understand a certain subject can cause stress.Not every child has the ability to understand every  subject.Some kids need extra help besides school work to grasp a few concepts.Poor academic performance is often laughed at and is looked down upon by both teachers and peers.In such cases,it can make the child feel isolated,neglected and hurt.All of this,put together,can add to stress,which many times worsens grades.
Extra curricular activities (课外活动) such as playing a sport,or attending art classes can weigh heavily on your child's mind.Balancing school and extra curricular activities does seem like a burden when you have to be outstanding at both.When the pressures from both the ends get unmanageable,teenagers tend to get tired and annoyed.Tiredness sets in,leading to stress related issues such as lack of concentration in school.
These are the common causes of stress in teenagers,which can be noticed through signs such as poor memory,anxiety,negative and pessimistic attitude.If the signs of teenage stress go unrecognized for a long time,it can make the child emotionally out of balance.And next step,if this happens,it is necessary for parents to know how to deal with stress.

78.What does the passage mainly talk about?The cause of stress in teenagers.
79.Poor academic performance causes stress for children because it tendsto be laughed at and looked down upon by both teachers andpeers.
80.How can parents know that their teenagers are under stress?
They can know that if their childrenshow signs such as poor memory,anxiety,negative and pessimistic attitude
81.The common causes of stress in teenagers introduced by the author are:
changing school places,academic difficulties and extra curricular activities.
(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN THIRTEEN WORDS)

9.The world is moving so fast these days that if you do not have the right education,you could get left behind.Technology touches every part of our daily lives---even the fast food industry relies on computer assisted systems to speed things to their customers.If you cannot figure out the computer at your local fast food shop,where will that leave you?
Once upon a time,you could have a good life with nothing more than a high school diploma,but those times are gone now.Competition for even the lowest level jobs is fierce,and most employers will give the edge to that extra education now.Jobs that never required a degree before now will certainly be given to the most educated candidate as markets grow tighter and tighter.
Education is not only important on the job front,however.Recent studies show that continually learning will keep your brain more healthy.The more active you keep your brain now,the more active it will remain in the long run.It does make sense if you think about it:if you start jogging,your body feels healthier after a while and will actually long for exercise.The same could probably be said for your brain:make it work to learn something new,and it will continually seek out the stimulation(刺激)of new information to keep itself sharp.
Education is important for your sense of self and self-esteem.If you allow yourself to think that you are poorly educated,you therefore deserve an old car or a small house and poor life.Stop feeling sorry for yourself and take charge of your own fate.Realize that you are a different person now and evaluate why you did so poorly in the past.Was it because you just could not learn,or because you did not want to focus on your education at that time?You are an adult now,and will be more focused and goal driven.Never say no to education,never say no to yourself.
56.Why does the author mention"the fast food industry"in the first paragraph?(No more than l0 words)
To show technology touches all aspects of life./To tell us technology touches every part of life.
57.How can you make your brain sharp according to this passage?(No more than 10 words)
By making it work to learn something new./By making use of it to learn something new.
58.What does the underlined phrase"give the edge to"mean?(No more than 3 words)
Prefer./Value./Favor./Like./Pay attention to./Focus on.
59.What should you do to stop feeling sorry and take charge of your fate?(No more than 20 words)
Realize that you are a different person now and evaluate why you did so poorly then.
60.In your opinion,why is education very important?(No more than 15 words)
Because education can help us find good jobs and build up our confidence..

13.Culture Shock
    Culture shock refers to the anxiety and feelings (of surprise,uncertainty,confusion,etc.) felt when people have to operate within a different and unknown cultural or social environment,such as a foreign country.
Generally speaking,we could say that there are four stages of culture shock.The first stage is called"the honeymoon".In this stage,you are excited about living in a different place.(36)G
    The next stage is"the hostility(敌意)stage".In this stage,you begin to notice not everything is as good as you originally thought it was.(37)D Moreover,people don't treat you like a guest anymore.
    Then you come to the third stage called"recovery".In this stage,you start to feel more positive.(38)BThe whole situation starts to become more favorable and you begin to learn to adapt yourself to it.
    The last stage of culture shock is called"adjustment".In this stage,you have reached a point where you actually feel good.(39)EThe things that originally made you feel uncomfortable or strange are now things that you understand.Now you have adjusted to the new culture and you feel comfortable.
Not all individuals visiting another country will experience all these four stages.(40)CIt also occurs within cultures as individuals move from place to place or from one setting to another (e.g.,from high school to college).

A.You feel that friends should help each other to deal with culture shock.
B.And you try to develop comprehension of everything you don't understand.
C.In addition,culture shock is not limited to the overseas visitor.
D.You become tired of many things about the new culture.
E.You have learned enough to understand the new culture.
F.You begin to understand you need to travel a lot.
G.And everything seems to be marvelous and everybody seems to be so nice to you.
14.Present or Future?
Americans are future-minded.They really live in the future.The present is just a way station. This enthusiasm for the future is really not shared even by all European countries.The French are known to be present-minded while the British are often called past-minded.For Japanese Zen followers,time is like a pool of water.Things just happen.There is no past,present or future.Egyptians are well known for their past mindedness.
I did not grow up with a telephone.So the Yellow Pages were something brand new for me when I first arrived in the U.S..I still had the habit of going to a store only to find out that it didn't have what I needed.My wife used to ask,"Didn't you call before going there?"The concept of calling ahead of time requires planning and a future mind,while my upbringing was in a present-minded culture.
One thing my nuclear family enjoys when my mom visits is her cooking.So normally I ask my mom a couple of days in advance what things she needs for the upcoming meals.She is always sure that she has everything.The truth is that many times,in the middle of cooking,she will ask for items we don't have.That shows a present mind.You deal with it when you get there instead of doing advanced planning.
Listening to weather forecasts and then living your life accordingly is a sign of a future mind. Normally,when I get to work and see everyone walking around with their umbrellas,I figure that it will rain today.Here people are trained from their childhood to figure out at least that day's expected weather before leaving the house.I am normally missing my umbrella because it was not raining and the sky did not have dark clouds.Here my present mind gets me wetevery time.
Mainstream Americans have put inside themselves the clock to a degree which is beyond the comprehension of many cultures across the globe.So the annoyance many Americans face when working with people from other cultures is understandable.In today's dialogue,building the bridge to the 21st century may turn out to be easier than building bridges with other cultures,which may appear to be so foreign.However,they are vital partners for our interdependent life on this planet.

60.The author was most likely born inB.
A.America       B.France    C.Britain    D.Egypt
61.Which is true about the author?A
A.He was more future-minded than his mother.
B.He received most of his education in Japan.
C.He learned to check the weather before going out.
D.He disliked calling the store before going shopping.
62.What's the main idea of the last paragraph?D
A.Americans value time more than any other culture.
B.Americans should be understood by other cultures.
C.Communication between cultures is easier than before.
D.Harmony should be achieved despite cultural differences.
