worrying, the important thing is to understand if you can take action (采取行动) that will
reduce (减少) your worry and help you avoid whatever you"re worrying about. For example,
you might want to study for the test next time! It"s a case (情况) that a little worry can
be helpful. You"re worried about the test, so you get down to (着手于) your studies.
About a quarter of the kids say they turn to the Internet when they are worried. That
can be helpful in some cases-like when you"re on this website, we hope! You might want to
use it as a starting point and then talk to someone about what you learned on the Internet.
But the Internet may not be enough for some worries.
Only 9% say they try to do something about what is causing their worries, and about 25%
of kids keep their worries to themselves. Kids don"t have to tell everyone everything, but
if they have serious worries, it"s usually best to turn to someone who can help. Parents
and friends are the top choices, but some kids say they talk to teachers (13%) or doctors
and nurses (4%).
Sometimes worry gets to be too much. It can make small problems seem bigger than they
are. And if the problem is actually a big one, just worrying about it probably won"t help.
Worry can even hurt your sleep and keep you from having fun and doing your best. But we
don"t wish you to worry about worrying!
B. it can make you work harder at your lessons
C. it can make you more pleased
D. it can help you get in touch with your teacher
B. In a book
C. On the Internet
D. In a magazine 21
B. Most students talk to their teachers when they are worried
C. Internet is always helpful every time you are worried
D. Worry can make big problems smaller than they are
B. Do something with your worry
C. Many children are seriously worried
D. Worry about worrying

income or white-collar position.
Cai Yong"s decision to work as a shoe shiner shocked not only his parents, who had high hopes for him,
but also his girlfriend.
"It is right for young graduates to be ambitious (有抱负的). But they have to start in a solid and down-to-
earth way," Cai said. Cai is not alone in making such a choice. The company has got 12 college students in all.
"I come for the 800 yuan monthly pay," said Xiao Ji, who is a student from Nanjing University. "I have
grown up and no longer live on my parents," he said.
"Working as shoe shiners can mean a bright future," Cai said.
Not everyone can accept this job choice. Cai"s girlfriend left him because she felt ashamed to be with a
shoe shiner, and Cai accepted the fact. "This is the price to be paid for a job," he said.
A former shoe shiner, Zhong Haibo, from a medical college, believes it was a good training for the rest of
his life. "There is nothing I can"t do after working as a shoe shiner," Zhong said, meaning that such kind of
experience in early life is helpful in a future job.

income on getting hitched and everything that comes with it.
China"s newly-weds in cities spend 126,600 Yuan (16,600 U.S. dollars) on average in 2006 when getting
hitched, Thursday"s Chongqing Youth Daily reported, citing a recent survey by the Ministry of Commerce.
An analysis of 60,000 couples living in cities showed that about 64 percent of the spending went on house
decoration, furniture and household appliances and the rest was spent on the wedding, such as the ceremony,
photography, wedding dresses and feast.
The survey said the wedding expenditure was only a small share of the overall marriage cost as most
Chinese young couples in the cities tended to buy an apartment and a car before tying the knot.
The survey said that about 81.6 percent of the newly-weds admitted that they had got economic support
from parents as their monthly income on average was only about 6,240 yuan.
The survey also showed that about 88.4 percent of the newly-weds chose having wedding photography
as a priority and 78.74 chose hosting a wedding banquet.
In contrast, young couples in the countryside spent about 40,000 yuan on average on marriage-related
issues, less than one third of their city peers, according to the report.
About 8.49 million couples got married in China in 2006.

| Until late in the 20th century, most Americans spent time with people of different generations. Now middle- aged Americans may not keep in touch with old people until they are old themselves. That"s because we group people by age. We put our three-year-olds together in day-care centers, our 13- year-olds in schools and sports activities, and our 80-year-olds in senior citizen homes. Why? We live away from the old for many reasons. Young people sometimes avoid the old to get rid of fears of aging and dying. It is much harder to watch someone we love disappear before our eyes. Sometimes it"s so hard that we stay away from the people who need us the most. Fortunately, some of us have found our way to the old. And we have discovered that they often save the young. A reporter moved her family onto a block filled with old people. At first her children were disappointed. But the reporter baked banana bread for the neighbors and had her children deliver it and visit. Soon the children had many new friends, with whom they shared food, stories and projects. "My children have never been less lonely," the reporter said. The young, in turn, save the old. Once I was in a rest home when a visitor showed up with a baby, she was immediately surrounded. People who hadn"t gotten out of bed in a week suddenly were ringing for a wheelchair. Even those who had seemed asleep woke "up to watch the child. Babies have an astonishing power to comfort and cure. Grandparents are a special case. They give their grandchildren a feeling of security and continuity. As my husband put it, "My grandparents gave me a deep sense that things would turn out right in the end." Grandchildren speak of attention they don"t get from worried parents. "My parents were always telling me to hurry up, and my grandparents told me to slow down," one friend said. A teacher told me she can tell which pupils have relationships with grandparents: they are quieter, calmer and more trusting. | |

| [ ] | |
| A. the old don"t like to live in a big family B. the young can"t get enough money to sup-port the old C. different generations have different lifestyles D. the old are too weak to live with the young | |
| 3. The fact the reporter told us shows that _____. | |
| [ ] | |
| A. old people in America lead a hard life B. old people in America enjoy banana bread C. she had no rime to take care of her children D. old people are easy to get along with | |

| Mobile phones are everywhere in big cities. It seems that no one can live without one. Mobile phones are a great way to stay connected with friends and family. However, it is important to remember that there are certain times when you should not be using your phone, especially in class or at a meeting. If you are in class or at a meeting, you should not be sending your friends text messages or taking phone calls. Your classmates and teacher or the people around you will not like it and will think of it as a rude behavior. In the United States, people would never be allowed to use their mobile phones during class or a meeting. If you were to send or receive a text message, you would probably be kicked out.

| Have you ever seen any students whose trousers hang so low you can see their underwear? What do you think of that? Fashionable? Some of today"s teenagers are big fans of such a look. But recently this trend has been at the center of an argument in Italian middle schools. The headmaster of a school in central Italy has asked students to stop wearing low-rise jeans that expose underwear and parts of the body. His request came after a class trip,when he saw one boy"s baggy trousers slide to his feet. He pointed out that this way of dressing is not suitable for school. But in Italy, a nation that takes fashion very seriously, the suggestion caused a debate among parents, teachers and students. The issue is whether the headmaster"s request will limit students" freedom-or whether dress in Italian schools is too casual. A parents" group praised the move in favor of good taste, while others advised schools to stop worrying about fashion and fix up old school buildings. "We do not want to kick fashion out," the headmaster explained, "but extremes of fashion like this are not right in school." Many other schools have now requested that their students also stop wearing such trousers. Most students have simply ignored the request. Ludovica Gaudio, 14, wore extremely low trousers exposing orange underwear in class. It was cold, so she wore a matching orange scarf. Another 14-year-old said she would probably respect the request, simply for practical reasons. "I don"t really feel comfortable in those sort of jeans," said Sarah Lattanzi, "in winter,when dressed like that, it"s quite cold and I am afraid my stomach will ache." | |
