The Worst Part

Mom is usually home on Sunday but this week she was going to a big golf game and I was all alone in the house. I was mad at Mom for divorcing Dad.

I kept looking at the telephone until I couldn’t stand it any longer. I picked up the receiver and dialed Dad’s number over in Bakersfield. I even remembered to dial 1 first because it was long distance. “You promised to phone me this week but you didn’t,” I said, feeling I had to talk to him.

“Take it easy, kid,” he said. “I just didn’t get around to it. I was going to call this evening. The week isn’t over yet.”

I thought about that.

“Something on your mind?” he asked.

“I hoped you would call, so I waited and waited.” Then I was sorry I said it.

“There was heavy snow in the morning,” he said, “I had to chain up on highway 80 and lost time.”

I know putting chains on eight big wheels in the snow is no fun. I felt a little better, as long as we were talking. “How is Bandit?” I asked.

There was a funny silence. For a minute I thought the line was dead. Then I knew something must have happened to my dog.

“Well, kid—”, he began. “My name is Leigh!” I almost yelled. “I’m not just some kid you met on the street!”

“Keep your shirt on, Leigh,” he said. “When I had to stop along with some other truck drivers to put on chains, I left Bandit out of the cab, I thought he would get back … I have sent out a call to CB radio, but I didn’t get an answer yet.” I was about to say I understood when there came the bad part, the really bad part. I heard a boy’s voice say, “Hey, Bill, Mom wants to know when we’re going out to get the pizza?”

We can conclude from the passage that              .

A. Leigh’s mother often went to golf games B. Leigh was a deserted boy

C. Leigh’s dad never had a rest on Sundays     D. Leigh’s father lived in another city

Which is true about Bandit?

A. It was killed by a truck     B. It was let out of the cab and got lost

C. It was frozen to death.      D. It ran off Highway 80 and into the mountain.

The underlined sentence “Keep your shirt on”（last para） probably means “        ”.

A．Cool down    B．Stop talking C．Be quiet    D．Keep warm

The worst part in Leigh’s eyes may be that            .

A. he forgot to go to get the pizza B. his parents got divorced

C. his dad got remarried    D. his dad didn’t love him

As they haven’t a child of their own, they’re going to _______ a little girl.

A. accept                      B. receive                     C. adapt                       D. adopt

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.

At the moment when looking round the world, all kinds of dance performances are being offered. There are competitions that claim to be a World Cup or World Championship, and the young dancer or the dance teacher who wants to enter his students might be quite confused. Which is which? Which is of high standard and good quality, and which is not worth going to? First of all it has clearly got to be distinguished between the different styles of dance and the purpose of such competitions. When a person wants to learn classical ballet, he or she would never dream of going to a ballroom teacher. Such a teacher might even have been world champion in his ballroom dancing, but he would definitely not be qualified in teaching proper classical ballet.

People in Britain and the USA are taking more interest in modern dance. Dance classes of all kinds are popular; the audiences going to watch modern dance companies are also larger. And perhaps the most popular modern dance company in Britain is the Ballet Rambert.

The Ballet Rambert is Britains’ oldest established dance company which began in 1926. In the 60 s the company lacked the money to go on staging big productions. The directors wanted to encourage new talent and to keep up their high standards. A change of direction was necessary. They decided to give the ballet a ‘new look” in 1966. The aim was to provide a chance for new talent – for musicians and designers as well as dancers – and to show dance as a contemporary art form. And although some of the company’s previous fans dislike the change, new audiences came to see the productions.

The modern dance pieces and modern music found unexpected popularity. In the 21 st century the Ballet Rambert was a great success in London’s West End. The company became a focus for new, progressive talent in the art.

Then, the Ballet Ramvert started to introduce young people to modern dance by giving performances at schools, which again, was a success.

The Ballet Rambert has managed to make modern dance popular while creating original and often avant – garde (标新立异) productions. It can claim to be the oldest dance company in Britain and at the same time one of the most modern!

A．the Ballet Rambert                       B．a ballroom teacher

    A．has succeeded in making modern dance popular

    B．wanted to become the oldest dance company

    C．was once a popular dance company

    D．changed old dance into new ones
