The ringing of the phone runs through my head, telling me someone needs help. I pick it up and    1   the routine, “Teen Lifeline, this is Amber.” About 45 minutes later I hang up, feeling pleased because I’ve helped another teen. Volunteering at Teen Lifeline has helped me realize how to deal with my own    2   and help others.
“My mom is always fighting with me. I want to run away.” Some teens feel their    3   is a prison, rather than a place of shelter and safety. They feel parents are only there to make their lives    4  . We try to help the teens realize the danger they could be in    5   giving them advice. All we can do is to ask questions. We also try to find out where the teens would go and how they would survive. We give them a phone number if they     6   don’t want to live in their “prison”.
“I don’t want to    7   any more” is something we hear, and suicide (自杀) calls are some of the hardest to    8  . We try to discover why they want to take their lives and how serious they are by asking them to rate it on a scale of one to ten. One means they are    9   suicide but haven’t decided how, and ten means they are always thinking about it and have a    10   . We ask them to make a promise that they will not hurt themselves. And sometimes we ask for their telephone numbers    11  we can call back to make sure that they are okay.
Although many calls are about relatively    12   problems, volunteering at Teen Lifeline has helped me realize I’m not the    13   person with problems, and has taught me how to    14   with my heart. I have made a    15   and saved many lives — possibly even my own, too.

Ｊａｓｏｎ
What I like best is seeing Arsenal win and playing football. If I am feeling sad I will play a football game on my Play Station 2. The best day I have ever had was when I finished first in the 800-metre race at my secondary school. It was a school record, although I didn’t know that at the time. My family makes me happy, too.
Ａｎｔｏｎｉｏ
My little sister makes me sad because she always tells tales on me to my mum. If I am having a bad day, food cheers me up. I like chili con carne and sweet chili crisps. It makes me happy because I want to be big and have lots of energy.
Ｕｓｍａｎ
I haven’t done anything very exciting in my life but one of my best achievements is that I got a good report from my school this year, because last year I got a bad one. People on TV make me laugh, particularly Eddie Murphy. If I am having a bad day I watch Ｂａｓｉｌ Ｂｒｕｓｈ. I am good at making other people happy. I just talk and my friends start laughing — they think I am silly.
Ａｓｈｌｅｉｇｈ
If I’m having a bad day, knowing that someone is there for me can make me happy. I wouldn’t say I’m the best at making other people happy, but I know that just being a good friend to other people is important. The things I like doing are singing, dancing, hanging out with my friends and just being lively and funny.
Ｋｉｎｚｅｙ
The most exciting thing I have ever done in my life was when I went abseiling in Wales. But that was a one-off. The things I do all the time are playing football, watching movies and going places with my friends. I know it sounds bad, but what I find funny is when people hurt themselves. If I am having a bad day and I see someone having a worse day than me, that makes me feel better.

For years my husband, John, and I had dreamed of taking our three kids to Disney World．We'd planned our trip down to the last detail and dollar．But in Georgia, halfway there, our car broke down．
At a garage, the mechanic promised our Mercury Sable would be repaired by the next week．Meanwhile, John tried to find us a rental car．After many phone calls, John finally found a car．Luckily, our auto club would pick up the tab．We ended up arriving there three hours behind schedule．We tried every ride and met Mickey．
At the end of the long weekend we called the garage to check on our car．It turned out that the mechanic hadn't even looked at it yet! John got on the phone again．He found it would cost more than $ l, 100 to rent a car to drive home．That plus a plane ticket for him to go pick up our own car and we'd be out over $2,000!
I wailed（痛哭） and asked John, "What are we going to do?"  He said, "It'll work out．" John encouraged me not to lose heart and he insisted on trying to find a way out．Amazingly, John found a car transport company that had a car we could drive home, paying only for gas! But all the way home I couldn't stop thinking about the money we'd still need for John's trip back to the garage and another long driving home．
When we got home, the high school student who had fed our cats asked how our trip was．I gave him the rundown, "Things worked out okay except that our car's still stuck in Georgia．" "No problem," he said．"I'm heading to Florida for a spring break with my parents．We'll be glad to stop in Georgia on the way back and pick up your car．"
We ended up spending only $50 more than we'd budgeted．The next week, our car was back, and I had a new understanding of dealing with trouble．Whatever happens, if you never give up, a good solution will come out at last．
小题1:From the passage we can learn that                 ．
A．Disney World is located in Georgia
B．Mercury Sable is the name of the mechanic
C．the couple budgeted for their trip carefully
D．repairing their car needed a lot of money
小题2:The underlined phrase "pick up the tab" probably means “___________”．
A．pay the expense of renting a car
B．find a taxi for the club members
C．give somebody a lift on the way
D．take someone home free of charge
小题3:Why was the author unhappy at the end of the weekend?
A．They didn't have enough money to rent a car to go home．
B．They spent $2,000 more than they had budgeted．
C．They didn't enjoy themselves in Disney World．
D．They found their car hadn't been repaired at all．
小题4:We can infer from the passage that _______________________．
A．the car transport company usually had its cars rented
B．the couple had to drive the company's car to an appointed place
C．the car transport company charged the couple some money
D．a student helped the couple return the car to the company ．
If you're into sports, you've seen it happen． You've probably even experienced it: basketball players shaking hands after four quarters of knocking each other around, tennis players leaping over the net to shake hands with their opponents （对手）  after a hard-fought match, soccer players exchanging sport shirts after an intense 90 minutes, even boxers touching gloves at the beginning of each round, then hugging each other after beating each other into a pulp for 12 rounds． It seems like competitors in every event, from spelling bees to hockey, behave this way． What's going on?
It's all part of sportsmanship, a great tradition in sports and competition that means playing clean and handling both victory and defeat with grace, style, and dignity．
What is sportsmanship? Sportsmanship is defined as: playing fair, following the rules of the game, respecting the judgment of referees and officials, treating opponents with respect．
Some people define good sportsmanship as the "golden rule" of sports --- in other words, treating the people you play with and against as you'd like to be treated yourself． You demonstrate good sportsmanship when you show respect for yourself, your teammates, and your opponents, for the coaches on both sides, and for the referees, judges, and other officials．
But sportsmanship isn't just reserved for the people on the field． Cheerleaders and fans also need to be aware of how they behave during competition． Sportsmanship is a style and an attitude; and it can have a positive influence on everyone around you．
Learning good sportsmanship means finding that the positive attitude learned on the field carries over into other areas of life． At school, for example, you're able to appreciate the contributions made by classmates and know how to work as part of a team to complete a project． You may enjoy more success at work as well, because a big part of learning good sportsmanship is learning to be respectful of others, including customers and co-workers．
