Being a Happy Teenager by Australian writer Andrew Mathews useful. In his book, Matthews tells us how
to have a happy life and answers the questions of teenagers. There are many subjects such as parents and
friends, and the book says we should stop being angry and learn to forgive others. The book tells us of useful
skills such as how to put what you have learned into pictures of your mind to make your memory better.
      Many teenagers think that happiness comes from a good exam result of praise from other people. But you
can still be happy when there is no such "good thing". Success comes from a good attitude. If you learn from
problems, you will have success in the future. Some schoolboys have problems such as being too tall or too
short. But Matthews tells us happiness comes from thinking about things in a positive (积极的) way. If you
are tall, people notice you and you can get a better view at the movie; if you are short, your clothes and shoes
take less room in your bedroom!This is Matthews" most important lesson: you choose to be happy!

As you move around your home, take a good look at the things you have. It is likely that your living room will have a television set and a video, and your kitchen a washing machine and a microwave oven. Your bedroom drawers will be filled with almost three times as many clothes as you need. You almost certainly own a car and possibly a home computer, holiday abroad at least once a year and eat out at least once a week.      Now, perhaps, more than ever before, people are wondering what life is all about, and what it is for. Getting material success is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world. They feel that the long-hours work culture to make more money to buy more things is eating up their lives, leaving them very little time or energy for family. Many are turning to other ways of living and downshifting is one of them.      Six percent of workers in Britain took the decision to downshift last year. One couple who downshifted is Donald and Liz. They used to work in central London. He was a newspaper reporter and she used to work for an international bank. They would go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs, leaving their two children with a nanny (保姆). Most evenings Donald wouldn"t get home until eight or nine o"clock, and nearly twice a month he would have to fly to New York for meetings. They both earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life was passing them by.      Nowadays, they run a farm in the mountains of Wales. "I always wanted to have a farm here," says Donald,"and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift. It"s taken some getting used to, but it"s been worth it. We have to think twice now about spending money on car repairs and we no longer have any holidays. However, I think it"s made us stronger as a family, and the children are a lot happier."       Liz, however, is not quite sure."I used to enjoy my job, even though it was hard work and long hours. I"m not really a country girl, but I suppose I"m gradually getting used to looking after the animals. One thing I do like, though, is being able to see more of my children. My advice for other people wanting to do the same is not to think about it too much or you might not do it at all."
1. When Donald was a reporter he _____.
A. lived in central London B. disliked his job C.missed his children D. was well paid
2. Daniel and Liz both agree that the move to the farm _____.
A. was easy to organise B. has improved family life C. was extremely expensive D. have been a total success
3. The underlined word "it" in the second paragraph means _____.
A. Child-caring. B. Liz"s advice. C. Downshifting. D. Liz"s job.
4. The underlined word"downshifting" in the second paragraph means _____.
A. repairing your car by yourself B. spending money carefully C. moving out to the countryside to live a simpler and better life D. living in a big house in the suburbs and dining out once a week

Millions of people are using cell phones today. In many places it is actually considered unusual not to use one. In many countries, cell phones are very popular with young people. They find that the phones are more than a means of communication-having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected.      The explosions around the world in mobile phone use make some health professionals worried. Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones. In England, there has been a serious debate about this issue. Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity of such ideas. They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health.       On the other hand, why do some medical studies show changes in the brain cells of some people who use mobile phones? Signs of change in the issues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning (扫描)equipment. In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at a young age because of serious memory loss, He couldn"t remember even simple tasks. He would often forget the name of his own son. This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day of his working week,for a couple of years. His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but his employer"s doctor didn"t agree.      What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation. High-tech machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry about.      As the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that it"s best to use mobile phones less often. Use your regular phone if you want to talk for a long time. Use your mobile phone only when you really need it. Mobile phones can be very useful and convenient, especially in emergencies. In the future, mobile phones may have a warning label that says they are bad for your health. So for now, it"s wise not to use your mobile phone too often.
1. The world "detected" in paragraph 3 could be best replaced by _____.
A. discovered B. removed C. cured D. caused
2. The salesman retired young because _____.
A. he disliked using mobile hones B. he couldn"t remember simple tasks C. he was tired of talking on his mobile phone D. his employer"s doctor persuaded him to
3. On the safety issue of mobile phones, the manufacturing companies _____.
A. deny the existence of mobile phone radiation B. develop new technology to reduce mobile phone radiation. C. hold that the amount of radiation is too small to worry about D. try to prove that mobile phones are not harmful to health

When you first meet a disabled person, what is your first reaction? Curiosity? Sympathy? If you experience any of these emotions, you are not alone. Chances are that you don"t regularly associate with someone who is disabled. Here are four points to keep in mind if you should happen to meet a disabled person.      Disabled people can lead active lives      With few exceptions, a disability does not prevent someone from working, raising a family, or taking part in social activities. Many sports and recreation programs have been adapted to a person with a disability. Instead of concentrating on the disability, look at the person the same way you would look at any normal person.      It"s all right to ask questions       Many people are afraid of offending someone by asking about their disability. When meeting them for the first time, it"s natural to be curious about who he or she is, and where they"re from. Asking questions is usually acceptable, as long as you use common sense. Don"t, for example, ask a blind person how he feeds and bathes himself.      Offer help when necessary       You see a woman in a wheelchair having trouble entering a building. It"s usually appropriate to lend a hand if someone is having obvious difficulty, but keep in mind that not everyone will be willing to accept your help. Unless the woman in the wheelchair is in danger, you do your part.      Remember that we all have obstacles to overcome      No matter who we are, each of us has a weakness or challenge to face. Like you, a disabled person would much rather be accepted for who they are, rather than be pitied. Many friends have said to me,"I often forget that you are blind." To me, that is the top compliment.
1. Why are you curious when you first see disabled people?
A. They can"t live normally. B. You seldom deal with them. C. You look down upon them. D. They look quite different.
2. What should you do if you find a disabled person can manage it?
A. You had better lend him or her a hand. B. You pretend that you haven"t seen him or her. C. You should encourage him or her to try. D. You had better leave him or her alone.
3. From this passage we learn that _______.
A. the author is blind himself B. a disabled person needs pitying C. not everyone has a weakness D. some people have no difficulty

If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong. If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault (过错). But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame (受责备), and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can"t read or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things; they cannot write down in a little notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised. So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: Practice remembering.

A. his father or mother may have a poor memory B. He does not use his arms or legs for some time C. his memory is not often used D. he can"t read or write
