I met Billy the last summer before college. He was handsome and his irreverence(玩世不恭) was     to me. We liked each other the first instant we met.       , I was a straight A student and my parents had high hopes for me to      an Ivy League (常春藤联盟) school. Billy did not concentrate all his attention        his study and school life. However, we were in love --- so        teenager love. I still remember we had a plan for prom(舞会). It was understood that we had       about where we would dance and drink and party together.

   This meant one thing to my parents---panic. And it grew as the       letters began to roll in. Of the eleven schools I applied to, nine accepted me. And one of them was Brown University---the Ivy League      in 1770 in historic Providence, Rhode Island.

   There was no         that I was drawn to Brown, but Billy (who had joined the army) was      down south and I had offers       for me there, too. I was torn between my love for him and my family       .

   One week        the start of school, my mother had a talk with me. She said I was eighteen years old and I had a        to make--- one that went        beyond the choice of       to attend university.

   In August, I       and drove north to Providence. It took several months to      that my life was moving on in a way that was completely different from Billy’s. Brown changed my life, opening doors and giving me the       I now use to think, to learn and to write. Life is always about       it seems, and the older I get, the more I understand this. Still, there are times when I think of Billy because he taught me about love.

Teens’ lives hit by economy

Some teenagers are crossing their dream colleges off their lists. Others are thinking of skipping（略过）their senior trips or reducing prom(毕业舞会)costs. Many are finding their work hours cut while their expenses rise.

So, who exactly is punishing them？Is it their parents, teachers or employers？No, it’s the economy（经济状况）.

If you are like most teenagers, you probably don’t understand what “recession”, “negative economic growth” and “subprime mortgage crisis (次贷危机)”actually mean. And you probably don’t spend your days watching the ups and downs of the stock market.

It’s safe to say that most teens don’t know much about the economy except for one thing：it’s bad. But just how exactly is the economy affecting teens?

“The single largest thing I have noticed is the recession’s ability to affect my college choice, “said Heather Richars from Downey High School in California, US. “With the economic situation the way it is, I have thought less about going to a private or out-of-state university, and more about public schools in California, mainly because of the price of tuition, “said Richars. “I had been a fan of attending a private school up until this year.”

The economy cuts into other areas of teenagers’ lives, too.

Joey Camarda, a student at Modesto High School in California, who works at an ice cream store,  said,“ Probably due to the economy, I have been getting less hours at my job, and because of that, I am not getting enough money to help pay for college.”

Tara Mooney, a senior at Beyer High School, has also begun to notice that money is tight.

“Things are getting expensive,” she said. “When it comes to applying for colleges and wanting to go on senior trips, I have to pick and choose instead of doing it all.”

1.The purpose of writing the passage is mainly to tell us ________.

A．the economic recession has had a big effect on teens’ work, life and study

B．teenagers are now having difficulty in deciding which colleges to apply for

C．teenagers don’t know much about the economic recession

D．teenagers are considering giving up their senior trips to save money

2.Because of the bad economic situation, Heather Richars will most probably ________.

A．go to a private university

B．attend an out-of-state college

C．attend a public college in California

D．find a good university as he planned

3.How has Joey Camarda found the recession affects him?

A．He has to find more part-time jobs.

B．He has to help his mother do more chores.

C．He has found that he had more time to study.

D．His plan to pay for college will be hard to realize.

4.What can we conclude from the passage?

A．Parents punish their teens by giving them less money.

B．Most teens understand what negative economic growth means.

C．Teenagers are finding it harder to do what they want than before.

D．Teenagers have realized the importance of managing their own money.
