Fifteen is such an awful (糟糕的) age, I should know. I really wish I were eighteen. If you are an
adult, you can be your own boss. People like my parents and my teachers are always telling me what
to do. You know what I mean. "It"s time for bed, Sandy." Or "Sandy, you"ve watched too much TV
for one night." "Sandy, stand up straight." "Sandy, you must improve your handwriting." Sandy this,
Sandy that. No one tells adults when they go to bed or not to watch TV. Besides, adults get to wear
what they like. Now it"s going to be great to be an adult. Don"t you agree? |
I"m Sandy"s mother. Having a fifteen-year-old daughter isn"t always easy. Right now, we"ve got
a problem. Our neighhour, Mrs White, wants Sandy to look after her pet dog for one week. Sandy
really wants to do it, but (I ). She"s too young and inexperienced. Well, I will
never be able to relax knowing she is all alone with a dog. I"ve tried to explain my feelings to her,
but she won"t listen. She keeps telling me that the Whites live very near, so she can ask for help.
She insists that Mrs White won"t ask her to look after her pet dog if she doesn"t think Sandy is old
enough. She says I"m "babying" her and I hate to see her mad at me. What should I do? |
1. boss master
2. It"s time for bed, Sandy. / Sandy, you"ve watched too much TV for one night. Sandy, stand up straight. /
Sandy, you must improve your handwriting.
3. I don"t want Sandy to do it. / I"m worried. / I disagree.
4. 她说我总是把她看成孩子，而我也不想看到她朝我发火。
5. No, I don"t think so because she is too young and inexperienced. / Yes, I think so. If she has problems,
she can ask Mrs White for help.

I"m an overweight (超重的) girl. People always make fun of me. At school, I don"t spend much time with
other students and don"t like to join in activities that I enjoy because I"m afraid people might laugh at me.
①What should I do? Please tell me.
Lily | | 阅读短文，选择正确答案。 | Dear Alice,
I just received your letter. And I was very surprised to know that you decided to drop out of school and
wanted to be a model (模特).
Being a model for a living is not easy. In fact, a famous person like me has a lot of problems that you
couldn"t see. I can"t eat what I like, even though I"m very hungry. Keeping thin makes me look more beautiful
on the stage because no one would like to see a heavy model.
Besides, I have to wear a heavy coat in the hot sun, in a swimming suit in the cold air. And practicing
walking nicely every day is tiring for me.
You might say I made much money from modeling. Bus my dear niece (侄女), you have to know that
money is, nothing, knowledge is everything. School is important and everyone should go to school for a certain
period of time. The longer they stay at school, the better they will be. Very often, I hope I can give up my job
and continue my studies at school. But it is very difficult for me to go back to school again. I am too old to go
back to school now.
You are a pretty young girl with a bright future. You only have one year to finish your studies in high school.
A year is really short. Please do consider my words carefully before you decide. Of course, there is only one
thing I care about, and that is your happiness.
Love,
Emma | | 1．What was Emma surprised about? | | [ ] | A．Alice wanted to keep thin.
