Everybody says that youth is the best time for our lives. Being young means romance, love and new discoveries, but it is also the most difficult time, because you have to make some very important decisions, which will influence your future life.
Things are not easy nowadays even for adults, but for teenagers, Who have to find their own place in society, it’s even difficult. It is necessary not only to adapt to society, but also to be confident of your position in five, ten or even twenty year’s time.
For the future it is important to have a good nob. In order to get a really good job, you have to be well educated.
Emotional problems for young people can be very important, too. The first teenager problem is that “nobody understands me”. Some parents often continue to treat their children as little children when they are starting to consider themselves to be adults.
There are also some global problems. Young people in all countries are facing these problems. Let’s start with smoking. According to studies, at the age of 16, almost 72% of all boys and 37% of all girls in Russia have already tried smoking. Smoking is not a natural need.It’s just that teens try it when they want to appear to be more like adults.
Drugs are also a serious problem. Students know the names of drugs well enough. 32% say they have tried drugs at least once, mainly because they were having fun, their friends influenced them to, they wanted to relax or they wanted to seem “cool”. That’s too bad.
So, you see, problems do happen and they can’t be ignored. We should pay much attention to them.

According to the traditional Chinese lunar calendar, we officially welcome the Year of the Horse better than others.
The horse has played an important role throughout human history all over the world. Horses were used for thousands of years as a means of transportation, a weapon of war and a plougher of fields(犁地農(nóng)具), but "the horse was more than just a vehicle - it had more character than a car, a tank or a tractor," Clare Balding wrote for The Telegraph.

In the Middle Ages in Western societies, the horse was a symbol of chivalry(騎士神)and nobility(貴族). In fact, the word "chivalry" comes from "cheval" in Old French, which meant horse. The idea of chivalry helped to fashion the 19th-century "gentleman", which was about good manners, courage and honesty to friends.
Nowadays, because of economic(經(jīng)濟(jì)) development, people in Western societies are less likely to see or ride horses. People living in cities, in particular, hardly ever experience horses except through movies, paintings or books. But horse racing, and betting .money on horse races, is still popular. The Kentucky Derby is one of the most popular sporting events every year in the US.
In the UK, the royal police still go around the city on horseback and the Queen rides in a traditional horse-drawn carriage on "ceremonial occasions (正式場(chǎng)合)”.
Some sayings about horses are still used in English today. For example, people still say "hold your horses" to mean “slow down". If someone seems too proud, people might tell him or her to "get off his or her high horse". And since horses are strong and energetic, there are expressions such as "as strong as a horse", "workhorse" and "horsing around".   .
Interestingly, the horse also appears in many Chinese sayings, such as Qianlima, which means a talented person. Other Chinese horse sayings include Madaochenggong (instant success) and Baimawangzi (prince charming).
Besides their physical strengths, horses are smart and have "excellent memories", according to Discovery News. Maybe that's why Chinese people say, "An old horse never gets lost".
Since the horse is honored as a symbol of many great qualities, people born in the Year of the Horse are said to share them.
【小題1】According to Chinese tradition, which year is welcomed best officially?

A.the Year of the Snake B.the Year of the Tiger
C.the Year of the Mouse D.the Year of the Horse
【小題2】According to the passage, which is NOT the role of the horse nowadays?
A.A weapon of war.
B.The royal police's transportation to go around in the UK.
C.Race horses.
D.Animal actors in movies.
【小題3】If a friend of yours is overconfident, what are you supposed to tell him or her?
A.Hold your horses. B.Get off your high horse.
C.Be as strong as a horse D.An old horse never gets lost
【小題4】According to the passage, which is NOT the reason why people like horses?
A.The horse has played an important role throughout human history all over the world
B.The horse was a symbol of chivalry and nobility in the Middle Ages in Western societies.
C.Besides their physical strengths, horses are smart and have “excellent memories".
D.Horses are only used as a means of transportation like a car, a tank or a tractor.
【小題5】From the passage we know that                     .
A.Economy develops a lot, so people in Western societies hardly see or ride horses nowadays.
B.The Kentucky Derby is one of the most popular betting events every year in the US.
C.Qianlima in Chinese means a person who can run one thousand kilometers a day.
D.Since the horse is honored as a symbol of many great qualities, people born in the Year of the Horse are said to be as strong as a horse.

閱讀短文,并按要求完成題。
“Hello” is one of the first words we learn as babies, yet it’s one of the last ones we think to use as adults. That’s unlucky, because saying hello is more than just saying hello. How might the world change—how might we change—if we mastered this word? ①I spent one month saying hello to every person I met. Here’s what I’ve learned.
* It can make the students more active. In a study on this subject, Allan Smith, an assistant professor, had middle school teachers greet their students individually (個(gè)別的) each morning. And the whole day, the students behaved actively because of this exchange of greetings. School went from impersonal to personal and that caused more class participation (合作) and better grades.
* Environments influence friendliness. One study found that people in the city were less likely to shake hands with a stranger than those in the countryside. ②And researchers think pleasant environments can encourage more smiles and hellos. For example, people in vacation spots were much more friendly than those hurrying to work downtown.
* It improves people’s health. It’s impossible to say hello without smiling. And smiling has been shown to lower blood pressure, reduce stress and bring happiness. Obviously, a smile creates a similar effect in the recipient (接受者).
So maybe we can make the world a better place by saying hello. After a month of doing it, I feel lighter and more connected and I have a better sense of happiness.

If we want to deal with the association (社交) between boys and girls properly, here are some "dos and don'ts" for you to follow.
Keep a normal and healthy state of mind. Our schools and classes are made up of boys and girls. It is very nature for the boys and girls to make friends with each other. We should make as many friends as possible. We should keep touch with the other sex (性別) in public instead of in secret.
Don't be too nervous or too shy. If you are a shy person, you can also find a way out. First of all, you can make friend with the students who have the same interest and hobby as you. As both of you have much in common, you may have much to talk about. If you keep doing like that, little by little, you will gladly find you are also as free to express yourself as others.
Don't fall into the ditch of early love. The boys and girls at a adolescence (青春期) are rich in feeling. They  are easy to regard the friendship as a sign of love and fall in love with each other at an early age. In my opinion, early love is a green apple that can't be eaten. An apple won't taste sweet until it is full ripe. Boys and girls at middle school are too young to carry the heavy duty of love. Do keep out of early love. 
【小題1】The main idea of the passage is to _______. 

A.tell students to keep away from early love
B.give some advice on how to associate between boys and girls
C.tell students how to make friends
D.teach boys how to talk with girls
【小題2】We should keep touch with the other sex in following ways EXCEPT _______. 
A.with a good state of mind B.in real friendship
C.in public D.in secret
【小題3】If you are a shy person, you can _______. 
A.find friends with the same interest and hobby first
B.only have a few friends of the same sex
C.not make friends with the other sex
D.not fall in love with other students easily
【小題4】What does the underlined word "ditch" mean? 
A.波浪 B.泥潭 C.圈套 D.迷惑
【小題5】A person at adolescence is _______. 
A.complicated (復(fù)雜的) in feelings
B.good at making friends with each other
C.old enough to fall in love
D.easy to regard the friendship as a sign of love

Time can be categorized (分類) into three general types:
Predictable Time: Such activities as classes, team practice, eating and sleeping. If you know the restaurant is open between 7:00am and 7:30pm, you should plan to eat sometime between that block of time.
Discretionary Time: This is free time that can be planned in a manner matching with your lifestyle and to carry through the most important considerations in your life.
Imposed Time: Activities including unexpected and difficult or dangerous situations which happen suddenly and which require quick action to deal with them.
How to manage your Time:
Value Your Own Situation. The first step is to know yourself. People work differently. Some people are very active in the early morning and can carry out much at that time. Others find that their most powerful time is later in the day.
Get Organized. Make a shopping list or make some type of planned notebook. This may seem simple but you would be surprised how many people do not use these necessary things.
Prepare a To-Do List. Consider all that you wish to complete and make a list. Prioritize (優(yōu)先排序) these items using three rules A, B, C:
A=" Most" important goal that needs to be completed very soon
B=" Next" important goal that does not have immediate necessity
C=" Finally," do all other things.
Plan Your Time. Fill in any spaces purposely left blank, and block out time to sleep. Be realistic, most college students don’t go to bed at 9 pm. Choose time for recreation each day.
Plan Study Time. Students should study 2-3 hours for every unit, for a total of 25-35 hours per week.
Time management is a system of learning to give first concern to the tasks you wish to complete. The key to being a good time manager is to learn to make full use of discretionary time and try to use it successfully.
【小題1】What does the underlined phrase “Imposed Time” mean?

A.Unreasonable time. B.Valuable time.
C.Busy time. D.Unpredictable time.
【小題2】Which of the following can be considered as Rule A according to the To-Do List?
A.Study for the final exam.
B.Play in the sports club in free time.
C.Visit an art museum at the weekend.
D.Hand in the history report tomorrow morning.
【小題3】What is the passage mainly about?
A.Time preference. B.Time management.
C.Importance of managing time. D.Instructions of saving time.
