about it?
Michael Norton"s book 365 Ways to Change the World is a good starting point. The book gives an idea or
task for every single day of the year. The tasks include volunteering at a local homeless shelter and planting a
tree.
The book says that one simple act, no matter how small, can help someone in need. It may even influence
other teens to do something.
Nathan Anthony, a student at Enochs High School in Modesto, Califomia, US, agrees. " It is impossible to
get anything in life without giving something to someone or making an effort at school or work," Anthony said.
Another Enochs student, Ariane Mota, has the same opinion." Giving is our way of repaying those who help us," she said." Whether it is a helping hand or a donation, we should help others to improve their day or life."
But how often do teens see peers (同龄人) helping a stranger or doing something nice for someone?
According to Anthony, not a lot. He and Mota both believe this needs to be changed.
"I help my friends by reminding them that their lives are better than those less fortunate people," Anthony
said." Humor is also a great tool."
So whether you"re helping to find a cure (疗法) for cancer or simply smiling at a stranger, do something
every day to help change the world for the better.
B. Everyone is responsible for making the world better.
C. We should help others to improve their life.
D. Humor is a great tool to help people.
B. the importance of changing the world
C. how to be a volunteer
D. how to plant trees
B. It is impossible to get anything in life.
C. Giving things to others means donation.
D. It is necessary to make others helpful.
B. improving their day or life
C. teenagers not helping often
D. doing something nice for others

Mice eat a lot of grain. They also carry diseases (疾病) ,which people can get from eating or touching grain
the mice have made dirty. Farmers can use special grain storage buildings or they can kill the mice. However,
both methods can be costly. Farmers must buy materials to build the special grain storage buildings or
chemical poisons to kill the mice.
Here is a way to kill mice without spending a lot of money. It is a simple but effective kind of mouse trap.
The method is first used by some farmers in the west African country of Mali. An agricultural expert in Mali
reported about the Mali mouse trap in a magazine. The expert reported that his gardener caught 150 mice in
just one night. The gardener used four traps. The trap is easy to make. First, remove the top from a 20 liter
metal or plastic container (容器). Put it in a hole in the ground. The top edge of the container should be the
level with the surface of the ground. Fill the container with water to within eight centimeters of the top. Add
tiny pieces of grain wastes. They should float on the water. Also put some wastes on the ground near the trap.
During the night, mice will come out to eat the grain wastes. They will fall into the container and drown.
Replace the food in the trap every night.
B. farmers in the United States
C. an American gardener
D. farmers in Mali
B. Methods used by farmers to kill mice.
C. Farmers have problems with mice.
D. How to kill mice.
B. Chemical poisons.
C. A mouse trap.
D. A hole in the ground.
to spend there? Why not just stay in Sydney, I advise. You"ll find you can do a lot in Australia from there. And
here"s how:
Wander along the South Circular Quay and chances are you"ll come across an Aboriginal (土著居民) or
two playing a didgeridoo (迪吉里杜管) But there"s not much left of the Aboriginal heritage (遗产) in Sydney.
It"s a deep wound which even now remains very painful. A more exciting way to experience Aboriginal culture
is to take a trip on the Tribal Warrior, a respected old pearling lugger (打捞珍珠的小帆船). Now it is being
used as a tourist ship offering tours of Sydney Harbor. The tours, run by Aboriginals, take in some of the most
popular sights of the harbor( such as the Sydney Opera House).
Of all the sporting heroes Australia has produced, Sir Donald Bradman is widely considered the greatest. So
it"s nice to meet him-or at least a life-size model of him-face to face in the imaginative little museum within the
famous Sydney Cricket (板球) Ground. The stadium has been hosting cricket matches since the 1850s. You
can also meet ancient worthies such as Frank Spofforth and Tiger O"Reilly here.
You really don"t need to go any further than Sydney to experience the excitement of one of the country"s
great national hobbies, surfing. Bondi Beach is in a suburb (郊区) of Sydney easily reachable from the center.
What a life! You can leave the office and within half an hour be out riding those waves at Bondi. Never surfed
before? Head for Lets Go Surfing, a Bondi school offering surf classes for beginners and experienced surfers
alike. If you"ve ever been interested in surfing, do it here.
B. see the Sydney Opera House
C. learn how to play a didgeridoo
D. circle around the Sydney city
B. We can visit a museum owned by Bradman there.
C. It is a famous cricket stadium with a long history.
D. It has been used as a cricket museum since 1850.
B. Lets Go Surfing is a surf school for beginners only
C. surfing is the most popular sport in Australia
D. people living in Sydney can go surfing after work
B. Most Popular Sights of Sydney Harbor
C. Let"s Experience Australian Culture
D. Holiday Experiences at Bondi
family"s course through the trouble of their daughters" adolescent (青春期的) years. As such, they often feel it
their duty to make sure that each member survives and grows stronger. As a result, mothers often feel a greatly
increased burden (负担 ) during their daughters" adolescence.
It"s far from easy to live with someone who is experiencing rapid changes in how she looks,thinks and feels. Mostly, girls" changing bodies usually make their mothers uncomfortable. Just when girls are turning into
shapely young women, mothers are often in or near midlife. It may be difficult to live with adolescent daughters who remind them of their ever diminishing (减少的 ) youth.
Mothers mainly describe feeling scrutinized (细察) by their teens. As one mother put it," Living with my
daughter is like having my own personal X-ray machine." This is because your daughter"s effort to develop her
own individuality (个性) drives her to examine your every action. This is totally different from her early
childhood, when you often could do no wrong or were the"best mother in the world".
Some women have a hard time dealing with trouble, so their teenage daughters" challenging behavior is
particularly unwelcome. Thinking back to when your daughter was a little girl, you probably expected her to
get into quarrels with others. Since your daughter has reached adolescence, you may believe that your daughter
should be beyond all that. She should know how to get along with people-especially with you.
Remember that this period passes, and mothers and daughters often end up close friends. But for now,
you"re the adult, so enjoy the sufferings.
A. mothers and fathers
B. parents and children
C. mothers and daughters
D. fathers and sons
B. Mothers become older and older.
C. Daughters" growth affects mothers.
D. Mothers often fall behind society"s development.
B. Daughters are building their own personalities.
C. Daughters are strict with mothers" appearance.
D. Daughters are making jokes on mothers.
B. They can face life"s challenges.
C. They make quarrels with others.
D. They should do no wrong.
experience last weekend showed me this is true. I work part-time in a supermarket across from a building for
the elderly. These old people are our main cus- tomers,and it"s not hard to lose patience over their slowness.
But last Sunday, one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable les- son. This untidy man walked up to
my register (收款机 ) with a box of biscuits. He said he was out of cash (现金), had just moved into his
room, and had nothing in his cupboards. He asked if we could let him have the food on trust. He promised to
repay
me the next day.
I couldn"t help staring at him. I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before,
and what he would be like if luck had gone his way. I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of hu- man soul, all
alone in the world. I told him that I was sorry, but store rules didn"t allow me to do so. I felt stupid and unkind
saying this, but I valued my job.
Just then, another man, standing behind the first, spoke up. If anything, he looked more pitiable."Charge it
to me," was all he said.
What I had been feeling was pity. Pity is soft and safe and easy. Compassion, on the other hand, is caring
in action. I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed either. Then I reached into my pocket
and paid for the biscuits myself. I reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart
and taught me compassion.
B. forgot to take any money with him
C. hoped to have the food first and pay later
D. could not afford anything more expensive
B. Poor and lonely.
C. Friendly and helpful.
D. Hurt and disappointed.
B. he felt no pity for the old gentleman
C. he considered the old man dishonest
D. he expected someone else to pay for the old man
B. Helping others is easier said than done.
C. Experience is better gained through practice.
D. Obeying the rules means more than compassion.
are not, and who they would like to be. They tell us a good deal about the wearer"s back- ground, personality,
status, mood, and social outlook.
Since clothes are such an important source of social informa- tion,we can use them to influence people"s
impression of us. Our appearance assumes particular significance in the initial phases of interaction that is
likely to occur. An elderly middle-class man or woman may be alienated (疏远) by a young adult who is
dressed in an unconventional manner, regardless of the person"s education, background, or interests.
People tend to agree on what certain types of clothes mean. Adolescent girls can easily agree on the
lifestyles of girls who wear certain outfits (套装), including the number of boyfriends they like- ly have had
and whether they smoke or drink. Newscasters, or the announcers who read the news on TV, are considered
to be more convincing, honest, and competent when they are dressed conserva- tively. And college students
who view themselves as taking an active role in their inter-personal relationships say they are concerned about
the costumes they must wear to play these roles successfully. Moreover, many of us can relate instances in
which the clothing we wore changed the way we felt about ourselves and how we acted. Perhaps you have
used clothing to gain confidence when you waited for a stressful situation, such as a job interview, or a court
appearance.
In the workplace, men have long had clear precedents (先例) and role models for achieving success. It has
been otherwise for women. A good many women in the business world are uncertain aboutthe suitable mixture
of" masculine" and"feminine" charac- teristics they should express by their professional clothing. The vari- ety
of clothing choices to women has also been greater than that available for men. Male administrators tend to
judge women more favorably for managerial positions when the women display less "feminine" grooming (打扮)-shorter hair, moderate use of make- up, and plain tailored clothing.
B. indicates our likes and dislikes in choosing a career
C. has a direct influence on the way people regard us
D. is of particular importance when we get on in age
B. help young people make friends with the opposite sex
C. make them competitive in the job market
D. help them achieve success in their interpersonal relationships
B. women are generally thought to be only good at being fashion models
C. men are more favorably judged for managerial positions
D. they wonder the extent for them to display the feminine qual- ities through clothing
B. How to dress appropriately.
C. Managerial positions and clothing.
D. Dressing for the occasion.
