A

B

A wise man once said, “It’s better to do a few things well than a lot of things poorly.” As you make the transition to a tougher workload, focus on maintaining a balance of schoolwork, scouting, other activities, friends, family and just the games you are enjoying playing.You may always think of this: we can learn things not only in classes, but outside of classes.You’ll be happier, not to mention more successful at the things you like.

If you’re having trouble keeping up, ask your teachers if they can recommend someone to tutor you for an hour after school.I know it sounds like torture, but trust me.I was struggling through math and eventually my mum made me get a tutor.I was very angry.But it turned out that with the tutor’s help, I could get through my work in an hour instead of three hours at home.So after a few weeks, I caught up with the rest of the class.

C

D

You should be flattered—he looks up to you.But I understand; it’s completely up-setting.My little sister went through a stage in which she constantly bought the same exact clothes as me.But after a few months she turned to someone else.Wait it out for a while, and your friend will probably discover his own sense of style.Then let him know you think he’s cool, especially he does his own thing.Your comment will spare him embarrassment, boost his self-esteem and, ultimately, get him to stop cloning around.

You’re right.Intelligence is a quality that everyone wants, and as you get older it’s going to be what people love and respect about you.And yet, just as hyper-social people need to make time for schoolwork, you might benefit from a little balance as well.In addition to exercising your brain with classes and books, exercise your spirit with music, sports, Scouts or other activities.Bonus: Some of those kids who laughed at you might someday realize how cool you actually are and shut up.

E

F

The fact that you recognize what the problem is and want to fix it is fantastic.Avoid becoming a regular in the schoolmaster’s office, and make a good first impression in the new place.This doesn’t mean you have to be a top student.Jus do your work, speak up in class when the teacher asks a question and seek extra help if your grades start to slip.And stay involved in after-class activities so that you can keep yourself too busy to get into trouble and help you burn off some of the energy that tends to land you in hot water.

A teacher once gave me this great advice: Prepare a conversation in your head before going into an uncomfortable social situation.It sounds like a lot of work, but it’s easy – and it works! For example, if you know you’re hiking a certain mountain with Scouts this weekend, go online and Google the area you’re hiking.Find an interesting or funny fact or two and talk about them when your troop is climbing up the mountain.As for the “cool” kids, forget them.Coolness runs out after high school.

After 10 seasons wearing the No.8 on his back, Kobe Bryant will become No.24 next season. The reason for the surprising decision by the Los Angeles Lakers super guard last week has become a hot topic for debate.

Bryant wore No.24 when he was in early high school, but he changed to No.33 in his senior year. He switched to No.8 when he was selected by the Lakers in 1996, and has been not changed since.

Bryant has refused to explain the decision until the end of the play-offs. So guessing Bryant’s motive has become a popular game among NBA fans and newspaper columnists.

There are all kinds of speculations(猜测). Many say that Bryant wants to leave the past behind and have a fresh start. He has often been criticized for playing to benefit himself and not the team as a whole. Others say that he may be trying to compare himself to Michael Jordan. Jordan was famous for his No. 23 jersey(运动衫). Some, such as NBC Sport columnist Michael Ventre, argue that it is “all about money”. Bryant will make more money by selling new jersey to his fans.

Some speculations are more about fun. For example, there is an opinion that Kobe is actually just a diehard fan of the popular TV drama “24”.

All this talk has turned the number change into a major issue. It seems that there is a lot of fuss over something that should be pretty simple.

Jersey numbers have their own special significance in American sports, especially basketball. Players choose their number when they join a team and they usually stick with that number for the rest of their career. When a great player retires, his team will honor him by retiring his number.

 

68. Bryant plays for _____.

A. The Los Angels Lakers               B. The Houston rockets

C. The Chicago Bulls                      D. The Miami Heats

69. Bryant wore No. 8 _____.

A. for two years and a half             B. for ten years

C. since he entered high school        D. since he left high school

70. Which of the following is NOT a speculation about Bryant’s motive to change his number?

A. He wants to leave his past behind and have a fresh start.

B. He wants to compare himself to Jordan.

C. He wants to earn more money.

D. He wants to show that he is man of great importance.

71. What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. When a great player retires, his team will reward him with much money.

B. A lucky number will be passed on to a new player.

C. An outstanding player’s jersey number won’t be used after his retirement.

D. A great player often changes his jersey number in the same team.

Hiking
If you like to hike during the warm months, you’ll probably like to hike in the winter. The landscape changes completely from summer to fall to winter, and the snow can make for some really beautiful photos. Be sure to bring your camera with you to capture all the awesome scenery. Because it’s cold out, you also have the added benefit of not sweating too much through your clothes, and it’s a great excuse to grab some hot chocolate when you finish your hike.
Cross-country skiing
Cross-country skiing is great exercise and a great way to see the winter scenery at the same time. If you’ve never done cross-country skiing before, be sure to check with an expert before trying it yourself. Knowing what to expect can keep you safe and prevent an injury.
Snowball fighting
Everyone remembers going outside, building a snow fort(城堡),and having snowball fights when they were kids. The fun doesn’t have to stop when you’re an adult! Go outside with your friends, build a fort and start throwing snowballs at each other. If you have kids, get them in on the action. Throwing snowballs is a great way to use some extra energy and can be really fun for the whole family.
Bird-watching
Lots of birds migrate during the winter months, and these quiet, cold hours can be a great time to see them like never before. Eagles, for example, migrate through central Illinois in February, and watching them fly through Starved Rock State Park is a breathtaking sight. Check your local parks to find out what birds you can see in your area and get out there to see them.
