5．How hard we have all wished to grow up quickly，and looked forward to the happy days of being a grown-up and enjoying the many interests that a youth should have!
At last，you have grown up．At least you are no longer a child．They call you"young lady"．You then enjoy the pleasure of being a young lady．You are proud of being a grown-up teenager．People welcome you--this young lady--heartily．You are glad that your wish has been answered．?
But there is always something that troubles you a lot．You say，"Papa and Mama，give me some money please．My pocket money is all gone already．"?
"No"，they say，"Your age is a dangerous age．If you have too much money to spend，it won't do you any good．"Then you have to stay at home because you dare not go out with an empty pocket．?
Another time you tell your grandma，"Grandma，see，I am a grown-up now．"?
"Good，now，you can sit here and knit （编织） this for me while I go and have a rest．"To show that you are no more a child，you have to sit there the whole afternoon doing the work，which only a grown-up can do．After an hour，you find it hard to do，and give the knitting basket back to your grandma．Your grandma criticizes （批评） your work．You hear what she says，"Such a big girl can't do such easy work．"You wish then you were a child again．?

4．

It is said that one man's misfortune（不幸） is another man's passport to glory（荣誉）．The words were proved during last year's Davis Cup tennis final，when Spanish（西班牙的） teenage star Radael Nadal surprisingly beat world No.2Andy Roddick from the US．
The 18-year-old's achievement helped the Spanish team finally win the Davis Cup，onDecember 5．He also became the youngest winner of the cup in history．"I did play brilliantly today．But I could have played better．"
Radael is 1.85meters tall，left-handed，though he still has a boyish face，the young star shows an energetic power and strong will to succeed on court．His fans love him for his long hair and good looks but especially for his powerful kicks on court after winning his big points．After beating Roddick，he fell on his back and rolled in the dusty red clay in the Seville's Olympic Stadium．"I have to learn to control my feelings，"he said．"I celebrate too much．"
Radael began to play tennis at very young age．Perhaps his first toy was a tennis ball．After all his uncle used to be a professional player and now his coach （教练）．"I don't remember when I first started playing．I was three or four and I picked up the ball in my uncle's club，"he said．He won his first local championship at eight，and at the age of 11he appeared in a Spanish schoolbook as a little star．But success at such a young age didn't go to his head and he continued to train every day．His other uncle Miguel Angel Nadal，provided inspiration with his success in playing professional football for Barcelona and Spain．
The Spanish press（报刊） has described Radael as a star or a pearl，but he doesn't think of himself as a teenage star．"I am only concentrating （集中精力于） on my tennis．That's the only thing I am interested in，"he said．Besides tennis，he likes English．Although he speaks Spanish during most interviews with the media，he always tries to improve his English!All of the attention has not changed Radael's life．He usually spends hours and hours on the court training．"My only aim is to continue to improve．I am still very young and there are lots of things I can do better，"he said．

3．A small city in southwest Britain is banning（禁用） plastic bags to help the environment and cut waste-a step that environmentalists believe is a first for Europe．
Shopkeepers in Modbury agreed to stop handing out disposable plastic bags to customers on Saturday．They said paper sacks and cloth carrier bags would be offered instead．
Last month，San Francisco became the first U．S．city to ban plastic grocery bags．Internationally，laws to discourage the use of plastic bags have been passed in parts of South Africa and Ireland，where governments either tax （收税） shoppers who use them or fine companies that hand them out．Bangladesh already bans them，and so do at least 30small Alaskan villages．
Modbury，about 225miles southwest of London，has also declared a bag amnesty（宽限期），allowing local people to hand in plastic bags that are kept at home．They will be sent for traveling．
The Modbury ban was the idea of Rebecca Hosking，who saw the effect of bags on sea life while he works in the Pacific as a wildlife camerawoman．She said response（反应） in the town so far had been"really positive"
"Modbury is quite an old-fashioned city and a lot of people have wicker baskets to go out shopping anyway，"Hosking told Sky News Television．
The Worldwatch Institute，an environmental research agency，states that 100billion plastic bags are thrown away each year in the United States alone．More than 500billion are used yearly around the world．

2．Why should we have good table manners（行为）？They make eating more pleasant．None of us，for example，really want to watch another person chew food with his or her mouth open．So here are a few easy rules to get you through any meal without displeasing your table mates．
1．Put your napkin（餐巾） in your lap（大腿前部） as soon as you sit down and leave it beside your plate when you have finished eating．
2．Sit up straight．It will help you digest（消化） your food，and it's polite．
3．When you are a guest，take a small part of everything that is served．Your parents may not expect you to eat something you don't like，but others will expect you to take a small part．No one will say anything if you don't finish it．
4．Use your napkin on your mouth after eating solid food and before drinking liquids．
5．Say"Please"and"Thank you"when asking someone to pass you something．Pass food without delay（延迟） to others．
6．Don't chew food with your mouth open．This also means not talking with your mouth full．
7．Don't say that you hate a certain food．Someone worked hard to prepare it and didn't like hearing this．
8．Don't wave your eating utensils（用具） around when you are eating or are resting between bites．Put them on your plate．
9．Cut food into small pieces，one piece at a time．Only babies have their food cut up at once-and their parents only do that to save time．

1．Life was pretty terrible for most people in London 100years ago．They had to suffer from noise，smoke and dirt．The noise came from the railway，and the smoke and dirt came from the train and thousands of factories all around them．The smoke got together with fog and hung in the air for days．Diseases killed thousands of children．Families were large but often five out of seven children would die before they were five years old．Is life really better than it was 100years ago？It is certainly true that people live longer than they used to，travel faster than they could and own more things than they did．But they still have to suffer from noise，overcrowding and bad air which are still a basic part of modern life.100years ago there was a clear difference between town and country．But the motor car has changed all that．One motorway can take up a huge amount of land．Cars are also a basic part of modern life．But industry and modern life do not have to be enemies of beauty．We can have both beauty and progress．In fact，we need clean rivers and open countryside just as much as people did 100years ago．But nowadays the problem is that it's becoming more and more difficult to have open land，clean water and fresh air．

19．A newspaper reporter's job can be very interesting．He meets all kinds of people and lives quite a busy life．He is on the rush for news all the time，then after several years he may get a desk job，and life becomes a bit more settled．Let's look at his work a little more closely．In a day he may have to interview the president of a foreign country，and the next day he may be writing about a football match．Sometimes he may be so busy that he has hardly any time to sleep．And at other times he may go on for days looking out for news materials yet return empty-handed．
In the beginning，a reporter has to cover a very wide field．After the early years he becomes more specialized in his work．For example，he may finally be asked to write only politics or sports．Some reporters may become so specialized that they are asked only to write on a special thing：horse racing，for example．In most newspaper houses there is at least one special racing correspondent（通讯记者、特派员）．Some newspapers have book reviews．Their job is to make people pleasant．They read the latest book and then write reviews on the ones they like．Then there are those who write on films，so they get to see them even before they are shown in the cinema．How lucky，you would say!
A reporter's job can also be very dangerous．A number of them have died rushing from one task to another，and if there is a flood or a riot（暴乱） they may get hurt or even be killed．Three years ago there was a reporter whose camera was destroyed by a group of men，because they were angry with him for taking their picture．Dangerous or not，one thing is certain，and that is，their job is never boring!

18．Saturday，5th June
Dear Estelle，
I hope you're well and not working too hard!I've been preparing for my exams now for the last two weeks．That's why I haven't written for such a long time．
Since the beginning of this year we've been doing a project called"World Class"．Have you heard of it？Not everyone in the class could take part，but luckily I could．The school chose a"twin school"
in a different area of the world．Our head teacher chose a school in Uganda，a country in Africa．They gave us someone to write to from that school．For three months，I've written to a girl called Louisa，who is the same age as me．
It's been so interesting to hear about her life．She's told me all about her school and described her daily life．I can't believe that her school doesn't have any electricity．She goes to school from eight o'clock in the morning until six o'clock in the evening．I can't believe how lucky we are here!
I love it because it's the first time I've thought about what life must be like somewhere else．I can't believe people miss classes here when everything is so easy for us．I think more people should help out with projects like this．At the weekend we're going to have a sports day to help raise money to send to the school．Perhaps one day I'll be able to go to Uganda and meet Louisa myself-who knows？
Lots of love，
Suzanne
