1、阅读下面的短文,将划线部分译成英文或中文。
Success is often considered to be the opposite of failure. To teenagers, it is the achievement of a goal or completion of something they really need, such as good grades and the ability to get along well with their classmates. 1. Some parents used to see good grades as success. But now they pay more attention to moral (道德的) education and character-building to make sure teenagers achieve success in building human relationships.
2. Schools help students to discover their advantages and hidden abilities. For example, those who are good at speaking skills are advised to take part in a speech competition. 3. Those students who like arts are expected to perform in public. Teenagers also get the pleasure of success when they join their favorite clubs.
Teenagers are often told that success is not easy to achieve and that success lies in hard work. Great efforts have to be put into project work. Doing things much later than planned should be avoided as this will lead to a mountain of work which finally makes them nervous. 4.毕竟,这种习惯对他们有害。Another good quality is a sense of responsibility which makes them remember that a task has to be completed.
Sticking to moral values is the key to success too. Honest teenagers will win the trust of friends leading to good relationships. Self-motivation (自我激励) is another quality to be developed, for self-motivated teenagers will have the strong will and drive to perform a task. 5.毫无疑问,他们能获得出乎意料的成功。

25、Dear Zi Lin,
I am very sorry to learn that you are unhappy now. But as a friend of yours, I don’t think you should be unhappy.
I know that your family is not rich, so your parents can’t afford to buy you clothes of famous brands, which makes you unhappy. Although we don’t have much money, we can have a good mood every day. Many rich people have too much money, but they often feel bored and lonely. Your parents have sent you to school so that you can receive good education and have a bright future. This is not easy for your parents. So you should thank them. Don’t ask for something that is out of your parents’ reach. Don’t be vainglorious(虚荣的).
I also think you should put your heart into study. Read more books and you can get a lot from reading. Without the famous brand competition, you will become happy.
So you should decide not to feel so sorry and sad. You should smile and think you are luckier in life.
I hope my advice will be helpful to you. Wish you happiness!
Yours,
Zhang Man

26、A “Gap Year” is a period of time when a student takes a break before going to university. It is often spent traveling or working. It can give young people useful learning experiences and new skills.
Gap years are popular with European and Australian students, but remain less popular in America. However, in recent years, more and more American students are preparing for college by taking a gap year. The advantages of taking a gap year are as follows:
Learn about the World and Yourself
Although you don’t have to go abroad to experience gap years, most gap year students catch the chance to travel abroad. You are able to work out who you are and what you are for. The experiences of different cultures offer you interesting lessons. You can learn more about the world and get to know yourself better.
Face Challenges and Have Fun
A gap year is not only a time to take a vacation, but also a time to face challenges. Gap year students usually work, volunteer or take service projects. You have to learn how to get along in the real world. This process isn’t always easy, but it is an important part of growing up. Only in this way can you enjoy life and have fun.
Save Money and Improve Your College Admission Chances
There’s a common thought that gap years are only for rich students, but it’s not true. Actually, taking a gap year can save your money. Gap year students often take a part-time job. Besides, at the end of a gap year, students are much more likely to know what to study in college. Clear learning goals ran keep the students working hard instead of wasting time and money playing.
