winner. Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries:
Where is the line between what I control and what you do?
Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because
neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it .From the parents" point of view, the only cause
of their fight is their adolescents" complete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly
the same way, except oppositely. Both feel trapped.
In this article, I"ll describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents
and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no-win situation is quarrels over unimportant things.
Examples include the color of the teen"s hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of
clothing ,the child"s failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on
the weekends. Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad
attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right. It doesn" t matter whether
the topic is politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg ;the point of these arguments
is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong for both wish to be considered an
authority-someone who actually knows something-and therefore to command respect. Unfortunately, as
long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, they"ll continue to fight
these battles forever and never make any real progress.
B. Both are about where to draw the line.
C. Neither has any clear winner.
D. Neither can be put to an end.
B. The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict.
C. The teens cause their parents of misleading them.
D. The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents.
B. know more than the other
C. gain respect from the other
D. get the other to behave properly
B. Examples of the parent-teen war
C. Solutions for the parent-teen problems.
D. Future of the parent-teen relationship.

health, Eric Wheeler is hoping to get a job in international reproductive(生殖) health. The
26-year-old post-graduate has always wanted to work in public service. But public service
doesn"t pay much, and her two-year program at Columbia costs about $50,000 a year with
living expenses. She has a scholarship from Columbia that covers just $4,000 a year and has
taken out loans to pay for the rest. She worries that she will spend years paying back her student
loans and not have money left over to put away in an IRA. Wheeler is wondering what she can
do to ease the pain of being in debt. Is there anything she can do to handle the debt?
The good news is that in 2007, Congress recognized that there were so many students in
Wheeler"s position that it passed the College Cost Reduction and Access Act. There were two
programs established by this act that Wheeler should look into.
The first is the income-based repayment plan, which allows lower-income graduates with a
lot of debt to reduce their monthly payments. Depending on a graduate"s income and level of
debt, the program, which goes into effect July 1, could limit his or her annual educational loan
debt repayment to 15 percent of discretionary income(可随意支配的收入),said Peter Mazareas,
vice charman of the College Saving Foundation.
The second is the public service loan forgiveness plan, in which the federal government will
forgive the remaining debt of borrowers who make 10-year loan payment while working full time
in public-service jobs. But the graduate must have a certain loan which is listed in the plan.
Depending on the level of debt Wheeler ends up with and how much she repays over 10 years,
Mazareas said she could end up with about $75,000 of her debt forgiven. " Tipically, it is projected
that a borrower who performs public service under this program will repay only about one-fourth
to one-half as much money as a borrower who does not", he said. He also pointed out that public
service is broadly defined and includes any government and nonprofit organization job.
B.$ 50,000
C. $75,000
D. $92,000
B.The act aims to help college students who are in debt.
C.There are two helpful programs in the act.
D. The graduates who work in public service benefit the most.
B. The total amount of debt could be reduced.
C. The income tax will be cut down.
D.People will have more time to pay back the debt.
B.Because she will have a master degree.
C. Because she plans to work in public service.
D. Because she has borrowed money from the federal government.
B. There are a lot of different programs to help students pay their tution.
C. The US government encourages students to choose public service jobs.
D.The federal government is trying to relieve graduates from heavy debt.
your next move ...acting as a team member...these are all "game" ideas that you will come across
throughout your life.
Think about some of the games you played as a young child, such as rope-jumping and
hide-and-seek. Such games are entertaining and fun. But perhaps more importantly, they translate life
into exciting dramas that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow in the rest
of their lives, such as taking turns and cooperating(合作).
Many children"s games have a practical side. Children around the world play games that prepare them
for work they will do as grown-ups. For instance, sine Saudui Arabian children play a game called bones ,which sharpens the hand-eye coordination(协调)needed in hunting .
Many sports encourage national or local pride. The most famous games of all, the Olympic Games,
bring athletes from around the word together to take part in friendly competitions, People who watch the
event wave flags, knowing that a gold medal is a win for an entire country, not just the athlete who earns
it. For countries experiencing natural disasters or war, an Olympic win can mean so much.
Sports are also an event that unites people. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. People on
all continents play it-some for fun and some for a living. Nicolette Iribarne, a Californian soccer player,
has discovered a way to spread hope through soccer. He created a foundation to provide poor children
with not only soccer balls but also a promising future.

and whether these skills will help you in other aspects of your life.

founder, Mark Zuckergerg, states that Face book will continue to work as hard as it has worked in
the last six years in order to stay the web"s number one communication site.
The company started in a dorm room in 2004. Today it has 150 million active users, more than
the 130 million of its competitor MySpace.
Face book set itself apart from other social networking sites because you can communicate with
people you really know and trust. Before, most people didn"t want to share their real identities online.
Face book has given people a safe and trusted environment for people to interact online. It has changed
the way people view the world. A friend from any country is only a few clicks away.
It was back in February 2004 when Zuckerberg started "the Face book" from a Harvard student"s
room. The aim was to help students get in touch with each other over the Internet. Within 24 hours over
a thousand students had signed up and soon after that the network spread out to other universities.
By 2005 a research study showed that about 85% of the students in the network had a Face book
account. Another survey showed that Face book was almost as important as an iPod. At the end of
2005 Face book came to the UK. And up to today the site has been translated into 35 languages.
Six years after its start, Face book has escaped the universities and colleges. More than half of its
users are not at college any more and the fastest growing group are the 30 to 40-year-olds. Every day
15 million users update their profiles to tell their friends and the world what"s happening to them. They
also share photos, upload videos, chat, make friends, join groups and simply have fun.

diagrams , lotus flowers and clustering . As I used these exercises in my classes , I noticed that students
were interested . They said more and wrote more . They enjoyed expressing their ideas and sharing them
in groups .They were no longer passively waiting for the bell, but actively took part in the lesson . I find
that creativity can act as a way to increase participation and improve fluency (流利程度).
Creativity has become a popular word in recent years . Scholars in the arts ,psychology (心理学),
business , education , and science are all working to get a deeper understanding of it . Robert J.
Sternberg is a creativity specialist and Yale professor of psychology. He defines creativity as "the ability
to produce work that is both new (original) and appropriate (applicable to the situation)". This definition
is useful, as we want our students to use language in a new way, and to use it correctly and properly.
Most scholars say there are two types of creativity: big "C" creativity and small "c" creativity. Big "C"
creativity refers to genius level thinking that results in artistic masterpieces and scientific breakthroughs.
Small "c" creativity refers to everyday level thinking that can be used in any situation. Our emphasis is on
the latter. While it goes without saying that any of our students could go on to be the next Picasso or
Edison, our aim is to help students produce more ideas and use language in new ways .

"In 1997 I was found to have developed diabetes (糖尿病). Believing my career was over, I felt
extremely low. Then one of the specialists said there was no reason why I should stop training and
competing. That was it - the encouragement I needed. I could still be a winner if I believed in myself. I
am not saying that it isn"t difficult sometimes. But I wanted to prove to myself that I wasn"t finished yet.
Nothing is to stand in my way. "
Karen Pickering
Swimming World Champion
"I swim 4 hours a day, 6 days a week. I manage that sort of workload by putting it on top of my
diary. This is the key to success - you can"t follow a career in any field without being well-organized. List
what you believe you can achieve. Trust yourself, write down your goals for the day, however small they
are, and you"ll be a step closer to achieving them."
Kirsten Best
Poet & Writer
"When things are getting hard, a voice inside my head tells me that I can"t achieve something. Then,
there are other distractions, such as family or hobbies. The key is to concentrate. When I feel tense, it
helps a lot to repeat words such as "calm", "peace" or "focus", either out loud or silently in my mind. It
makes me feel more in control and increases my confidence. This is a habit that can become second
nature quite easily and is a powerful psychological (心理的) tool."
