It's the end of class. When the bell rings, students of Luohu Foreign
Languages School in Shenzhen quickly take out their cell phones.
They want to log on to their micro blogs to check the interesting things that have happened in the last hour.
Since last year, the trend (潮流) of micro blogging has swept the country. Recent surveys shows that most students in middle schools have a micro blog and some even update their blogs over five times per day.
"We learn many fresh and interesting things on micro blogs and they have become popular topics in class," said Andy Liang, 14. "If you do not know about them, you are out of the loop."
It is also a great place for students to let out stress. "My parents always ask me to study hard, and encourage me before exams, but it really adds pressure," said Simon Zhang, 15. "When I share these feelings on my micro blog, I get many replies from friends in the same situation, which makes me feel better."
But parents are worried that micro blogging could be a waste of time. Some misleading messages may even cause danger to kids, they said.
Mr. Shen, a professor at the China Education Association, suggests parents not worry too much as long as kids are not crazy about micro blogging. Maybe it can become a window for parents to understand their children.
"If parents can read their children's micro blogs, they'll know their thoughts, thus leading to better communication and solutions to problems," he said. He also gives some tips for kids.
-Don't micro blog for more than one hour a day.
-Never micro blog in class.
-Try to talk face to face with people from time to time.
-Be critical(批判性的). Don't trust all the messages on a micro blog.
小題1:Andy Liang thinks students are out of the loop if they don't know.
A．the latest films
B．the famous pop song singers
C．the popular topics in class
D．many flesh things on TV
小題2:Micro blog made Simon when he shared his feelings and got replies on his micro biog.
A．feel sadB．let out stressC．a(chǎn)dd stressD．make friends
小題3:We can know from Mr. Shen that micro blogging can           .
A．make kids crazy while logging on to it
B．bring a lot of misleading messages
C．become a window to understand young kids
D．lead to worse communication
小題4:Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?
A．It's good for kids to micro blog for more than one hour a day.
B．Kids should trust all the messages on a micro blog because they are useful.

Tired of bad handwriting, Richie decided to perfect his penmanship (書法) last January. Though the year progressed, his writing didn’t. “My penmanship just got worse,” he says. “I get tired of trying to write neatly.”
Like Richie, many teenagers make resolutions in the New Year. More than half of Americans say they make a New Year’s resolution – but only one-third of them keep to it, reports the University of North Carolina, US.
Demanding (追求) perfection  stops people working on their resolutions, says Chicago life coach Alison Miller.
Resolutions sometimes can be unrealistic (不現(xiàn)實(shí)).. Going for a goal  that’s too hard to achieve can leave a person feeling sad. “Saying ‘I’m going to look like a super-model’ is going to make you unhappy,” she says.
Sure, it’s a great idea to aim for improvement, but not all resolutions are helpful. The difference between good and bad resolutions is whether you expect too much from yourself, Miller says. For example, it’s OK to say, “I’m going to eat fewer French fries,” but striving (力爭(zhēng))  for a perfect body isn’t reasonable.
Timing can also damage a resolution. Kevin M., 16, says he doesn't set resolutions because 12 months is unrealistic. “It’s too long and you start putting off keeping your resolution during summer,” he says.
He’s considering a career in music, but says school is his main focus. Knowing how hard he has to work, he says he’ll “be lucky to get 30 minutes a day” of practice. But a bit is better than nothing, and making reminders can help you make progress. Miller says teenagers should write down their goals and say to themselves, “What can I do today to make my goal a reality?”
“It’s just small steps along the way. It’s not about doing it all at once,” Miller says.
小題1:What’s the writer’s purpose by talking Richie in the first paragraph?
A．To advise people to keep their New Year’s resolutions.
B．To show that some people fail to keep their New Year’s resolutions.
C．To tell readers why Richie isn’t a good hand writer.
D．To show why New Year’s resolutions are important.
小題2:Many Americans stop working on their New Year’s resolutions because ______.
A．they think it is silly to make resolutions
B．they find keeping resolutions is boring
C．the time of keeping resolutions is too short
D．their choice of resolution turns out to be unrealistic
小題3:Which of the following statements would Miller probably agree with?
A．Teenagers should set themselves perfect goals.
B．To achieve your goals, you needn’t write them down.
C．People should try to realize their goals step by step.
D．A good resolution helps people realize their possibility.

For Sparky, school was all but impossible. He failed every subject in the eighth grade. He didn’t do much better in sports. Although he played for the school’s golf team, he lost the only important match of the season.

In the sea there are many islands. In its warm waters there are some little ones. We call them coral(珊瑚) islands.
A coral island is very nice to look at. It looks like a ring of land with trees, grass, and flowers on it. One part of the ring is open to the water. There is a little round lake inside the island.
If you look into this lake, you will see beautiful coral. You may think they are flowers.
If you look at a piece of coral, you will see many little holes in it. In each of these holes a very small sea animal has lived. These sea animals make the coral.
They began to build under the water. Year after year, the coral grew higher and higher. At last it grew out of the water.
Then the sea brought to it small trees and something else. After some years, these things changed into earth. Sometimes the wind brought seeds to this earth. Sometimes birds flew over it and brought seeds to the island. The little seeds grew. In a few years there were plants all over the island. In a few more years there were trees growing there.

More and more people like bicycling and it is no surprise. It’s fun, healthy and good for the environment. Maybe that’s why there are 1.4 billion bicycles and only 400 million cars on roads worldwide today. Bikes can take you almost anywhere, and there is no oil cost!
If you get on a bicycle and ride it, you may discover something new all around you. Stopping and getting off a bike is easier than stopping and getting out of your cars.

These days, when the world seems to be hard to control, walking can make you feel peaceful. It gives you a chance to slow down, to relax and to appreciate yourself and your life in general. It helps you slow down enough to breathe deeply, to calm your thoughts, and to research the natural world filled with wonders. And yes, to love yourself more.
Try to spend one day for a long travel on foot—far from the requirements of work and family. First, choose a date and mark it as your “relaxing day”. Next, choose a place that you want to visit on foot. If you enjoy being out in nature, head to a wide and open place. Try to choose a place that’s no more than 15 minutes from your home. You want to spend your time walking, not driving.
Walk at an easy speed so you can walk longer and farther. If you normally walk two miles a day, go for four to six miles. Wear comfortable clothes. If it’s warm, wear a hat to protect your face. And don’t forget your sunglasses— not only to protect your eyes but also to give you a sense of privacy while you walk.
Before you go out, get up early so you can spend a few minutes relaxing. Relaxing is something few people spend in their spare time, but it leaves you feeling much lighter and less annoyed. Read something relaxing before you leave home, and it’ll put you in a different condition of mind. And, of course, eat a healthy breakfast and drink plenty of water. Then pick up your backpack and head out. And enjoy yourself.
小題1:From the passage, we can control our feeling by______.
A．running a long wayB．having a long walk
C．talking with best friendsD．communicating with parents
小題2:Walking can help you EXCEPT _______.
A．making you calmB．feeling more excited
C．thinking things calmlyD．breathing deeply
小題3:What can you do to prepare if you plan to hike according to the passage?

C．Wear comfortable clothesD．Take enough food and water
小題4:Before you go out for a walk, you should _______.
A．eat a healthy breakfast.B．drink plenty of water.
C．get up early and relax yourself.D．a(chǎn)ll above.
小題5:From the passage, we can know________.
A．the world is very peaceful now
B．we can have a walk to relax ourselves during busy days

Can we make animals work for us? Some scientists think that we can teach animals to do a lot of things for the people. They say that in a farm or on TV, you may see elephants, monkeys, dogs or some other animals doing a lot of things. If you watch carefully, you may find those animals are always given a little food to eat after they have done something. Scientists say that people can teach many different animals to do some of the easy work if they know they will get something to eat.
We all know elephants can carry large logs, and dogs can look after houses. And we can even teach animals to work in factories. In America, for example, people have used apes to help make cars, and scientists think that those large monkeys may, one day, drive trains. Now people are trying to get them to do something just like man.
小題1: People can teach animals to do some easy work if ____   .
