many interesting stories in the paper. You just need to make clear what you are looking at. "I spend
about half an hour reading newspapers every day," said 15-year-old Gao Ming from Beijing. "I"m
interested in things happening at school." School news is just one kind of news story in newspapers.
There"s also world news: from international problems to pop stars.
Read the newspaper carefully, we"ll find different types of articles on the pages:
News stories - these stories are about events. Reporters try to show all points of a story to help
readers understand what happened. Reporters try to speak to as many people as possible. They also
use pictures and numbers to show the readers that the stories are true. The newspaper Teenagers has
lots of news stories on the news page and front page. When we read them, we learn more about the
facts, not the writers" ideas.
Opinion writing - opinion writing is usually about something happening right now. But it isn"t just facts.
Here writers add their own opinions to the news. Writers pick only the facts that help back up their
ideas. They make readers believe that they are telling the truth. This is usually the kind of story that gets
people thinking. Go to "Speak Out" on Page Two for an example of opinion writing in Teenagers.
Advertisement - Don"t get happy too early when you read them. Those sweet words and lovely
pictures are just ways to get us intere
sted in their products! People have to pay to put advertisements in newspapers!

| Honesty comes in many forms. First there"s self-honesty. Is what people see the real article or do you appear through smoke and mirrors? I find that if I try to be something I"m not, I feel unsure of myself and take out a part from my PBA (personal bank account). I love how singer Judy Garland put (表述) it, "Always be a first-class version (版本) of yourself, instead of a second-class version of somebody else." Then there"s honesty in our actions. Are you honest at school, with your parents, and with your boss? If you"ve ever been dishonest, I think we all have, try being honest, and notice how whole it makes you feel. Remember, you can"t go wrong and feel right. This story by Jeff is a good example of that: In my second year of study, there were three kids in my math class who didn"t do well. I was really good at it. I would charge them three dollars for each test that I helped them pass. I"d write on a little piece of paper all the right answers, and hand them off. At first I felt like I was making money, kind of a nice job. I wasn"t thinking about how it could hurt all of us. After a while I realized I shouldn"t do that anymore, because I wasn"t really helping them. They weren"t learning anything, and it would only get harder down the road. Cheating certainly wasn"t helping me. It takes courage to be honest when people all around you are getting away with cheating on tests, lying to their parents, and stealing at work. But, remember, every act of honesty is a deposit (储蓄) into your PBA and will build strength. | |||
| 1. The underlined part "appear through smoke and mirrors" in the first paragraph means______. | |||
| A. to be honest B. to be unreal C. to become clear D. to come from an imagined world | |||
| 2. Which of the following can best explain Judy Garland"s words? | |||
| A. Be your true self rather than follow others. B. Don"t copy others or you can"t be the first class. C. Make efforts to be the first instead of the second. D. Don"t learn from others unless they"re excellent. | |||
| 3. What does the author expect to show by Jeff"s story? | |||
| A. Honesty can be of great help. B. A bad thing can be turned into a good one. C. Helping others cheat can do good to them. D. One should realize the wrong in his bad actions. | |||
| 4. In the last paragraph the author mainly wants to express _______. | |||
| A. one must be brave to be honest B. it"s difficult to be honest when others are not C. one should be honest when making a deposit D. honesty in one"s actions can help him in the future | |||

| In the United States, when one becomes rich, he wants people to know it. And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what “keeping up with the Joneses” is about. It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbours. The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $ 125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighbourhood outside New York City. When he saw that rich people rode horses,Momand went horseback riding every day.When he saw that rich people had servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbours. It was like a race, but one could never finish his race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They moved back to an apartment in New York City. Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbours. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it "Keeping up with the Joneses” because “Jones” is a very common name in the United States. “Keeping up with the Joneses” came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momand’s series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years. People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are “Jonses” in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead. | |||
