    I heard many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling(叛逆). I suggested they recall their own teenage years. At that age they would like to be growing away from parents. They preferred to stand on their own two feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of going out fighting bravely on their own, most of them are clutching (紧握) at one another’s hands for reassurance.

They declare they want to dress as they like. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up gathering around listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in a similar way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon (蚕茧) into a larger cocoon.

It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of today’s parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this create a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.

But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don’t care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go for it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come — with the people who respect you for who you are. That is the only kind of popularity that really matters.

4．This passage is aimed at _______.

A．people who try to understand and respect each other

B．readers who try to be popular with people around

C．parents who try to control and guide their children

D．teenagers who try to seek for their real selves

5．The author doesn’t prefer rebelling teenagers _______.

A．walking a new way on their own

B．always turning to friends for help

C．growing away from parents

D．following others blindly

6．The phrase “larger cocoon” at the end of the second paragraph refers to _______.

A．the care and love from parents

B．the popular trend in the society

C．the present teenage market

D．the fantastic music world

7．According to the author, what might happen when a teenager follows his/her own path?

A．He/She gets larger collection.

B．He/She gains valuable popularity.

C．He/She shares fresh thoughts with classmates.

D．He/She loses good friends.

    I grew up in a small village, where I saw girls aged five or six, carrying younger siblings, and begging on the streets for food. They were dirty, and wore clothes that were little more than rags. I wondered, why their parents would not give them enough to eat, till I was told that their parents probably gave them all they had, and went hungry themselves. They lived in hovels, and often while the older children begged, the younger ones were asleep on the roadside.

As I grew up, and left the village to pursue my studies in a bigger town, these images stayed with me. However, to my dismay, I found that there were more such beggars there, than I had seen in my village. It struck me then, that I lived in a poor country where poverty was a curse suffered by large numbers of the population. It was at this stage of my life, that I made up my mind to do my bit to ease the pain of these poor, unfortunate people. My parents were happy to see that I felt so much sympathy for those less fortunate than me, and encouraged me to do small things like offering food, sweets or clothes to poor people nearby on my birthday, instead of having a party for my friends. Fortunately, my school too was at the forefront of social work, involving educating those who did not have the means to go to a proper school. We students, were taken to nearby rural areas, to stay with the villagers and understand their problems. We also sometimes helped the younger children with their homework, and encouraged them never to stop their schooling, because many children are forced to stop going to school, and instead help their parents out in small jobs. As I graduated from high school, I realized that the means to end poverty was education. I found that poor children were less healthy, and more prone to disease than their peers in more advantaged homes.

8．At first the author may believe the parents of the poor kids are ________.

A．less fortunate B．cruel to little children

C．too busy with their work D．living badly off

9．From the passage we can conclude the author is ________.

A．hard—working and determined B．regretful and disappointed

C．well---educated and optimistic D．merciful and warmhearted

10．Which is the best way to eradicate poverty?

A．Investment to boost economy

B．Social work by the government officials

C．Compulsory education for all children

D．Urbanization of all rural areas

11．What does the author’s school do for those who cannot continue with their schooling?

A．It plays an active part in educating those dropped--out kids.

B．It encourages the students to do surveys in the countryside.

C．It urges the government to promote education.

D．It offers food and clothes to poor people in rural areas.

Orville Wright was born on August 19, 1871 in Dayton, Ohio, USA and died on January 30, 1948. Together with his brother, Wilbur, he was the first airplane builder. The brothers created the first controlled, powered and heavier-than-air human flight.

Orville’s first flight lasted 12 seconds and had 36.5 meters. He was responsible with the public shows near Washington in the United States. On September 9, 1908 his flight was 62 minutes and 15 seconds long and the success was huge.

A study published in the journal Neuropsychologia reported that seeing an attractive, smiling face activates the region in your brain that processes sensory rewards. 18． It also explains the 2011 findings by researchers at the Face Research Laboratory. They found that both men and women were more attracted to images of people who made eye contact and smiled than those who did not.

19．

Did you know that your smile is actually contagious (传染性的)? In a Swedish study, subjects were shown pictures of several emotions: joy, anger and surprise. When the picture of someone smiling was presented, the researchers asked the subjects to frown. Instead, they found that the facial expressions went directly to what subjects saw.20． If they don’t, they’re making a conscious effort not to.

A．How Smiling Affects Those Around You

B．Each time you smile, you throw a little feel-good party in your brain.

    There are too many fat people in America, so many Americans are fighting against overweight. But the    21   thing is that the French,who consume rich food, tend to stay thin.

In addition, he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and    30   foods for the week. The French,    31   tend to shop daily, walking to small shops and farmers' markets where they have a choice of fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal.

After a visit to the United States, Mireille guiliano, author of French Women Don't Get Fat, decided to    32   about the importance of knowing when to stop rather than suggesting how to avoid   33   . Today she continued to stay slim and rarely goes to the gym.

In spite of all these differences, evidence shows that recent life style    34   may be affecting French eating habits. Today the rate of obesity (肥胖)—or extreme overweight—among adults is only 6%. However, as American fast food gains    35   and the young reject older traditions, the obesity rate among French children has reached 17%—and is growing.

Emily White was born seventeen years ago with so many birth problems in her body. Some of her organs, bones and muscles were out of shape. No one expected her to survive, but she did make it with her strange body shape. Everyone could recognize her, even from a distance.

In Emily White’s hometown, there is a yearly performance in the school auditorium (礼堂). Many people try out for it each year, but so many are turned away. It can only include the most excellent people in the field.

Emily had a beautiful singing voice. Last year she went to Mrs. Owens, her music teacher, to ask to join in the performance. Without letting her sing, Mrs. Owens took a look at Emily’s body and said, “Kid, you just don’t fit. Everyone would stare at you and that would make you uncomfortable. It would make them uncomfortable, too.”

Hurt and upset, Emily decided never to try out for it again. But this year, there came a new music teacher, Mr. Buttler. He heard about Emily and suggested that she have a try.

Emily didn’t want to be rejected again, so she hesitated a little about it. As Emily struggled, the door was pushed open and Mr. Buttler called, “Emily, you’re the next one.” Although kind of nervous, Emily did as Mr. Buttler told her to do. Mr. Buttler sat at the piano to keep Emily company. When Emily finished her testing performance, she thanked Mr. Buttler and knew the result would be posted on the door of the choral room the next day.

Emily couldn’t sleep that night. She was suffering from the feeling that she didn’t fit.

Paragraph 1:

The next day, Emily nervously glanced at the list on the door of the choral room.

46．        Our school held a music festival last Sunday. The focus of the festival was the wonderful performances given by students, including singing, dancing and playing various instruments. Lectures were also given about Chinese traditional music as well as foreign music, so that we could appreciate the beauty of different kinds of music. The music festival ended with a beautiful song, which is easy to dance to.

The music festival was not only great fun but also gave us an opportunity to develop our understanding of music. Music is what we need in life, and more importantly, it is vital for our personal growth.

47．One possible version

Paragraph 1:

The next day, Emily nervously glanced at the list on the door of the choral room. She was not rejected this time. Her name was at the top of the list. She was chosen to be the leading singer. She would sing in front of the line in the performance. Emily couldn’t believe her eyes. There must be some mistake. But Mr. Buttler said to her firmly, “Emily, I choose you because your voice is unusual. Believe in yourself.” Greatly encouraged, Emily practiced really hard.

Paragraph 2:

Finally, the day of the performance came. At the thought of standing in front of such a large audience, Emily felt her throat tight and her palms sweating. When the curtain opened, the eyes of the whole audience fell upon Emily. “Emily White!” someone whispered. Then, along with the first note of music, Emily began to sing. Her voice was ringing through the auditorium. Applause! Emily felt so happy and comfortable. She was shining on the stage.
