You are in your last year of junior high school.(1)Have you thought about what it will be like in high school? Are you ready for a fresh start in a new environment? Some high school graduates from the United States share their tips:
Organize and plan your studies
“The biggest thing is to stay organized,” says Philip Tubiolo, a graduate from Bayport High School.(2)He says you can use either paper or online tools to help with your studies. "I would transfer (转换) paper notes online and make study guides. Everything was in one spot (场所) for finals and midterms."
Find your interests
“I knew I was more of a science kid,” says Bayport’s Tubiolo. “I took AP Biology in 10th grade and loved it.”(3)AP classes are college-level classes that high school students can take.He also joined his school’s Science Olympiad team.(4)在一次国际数学比赛中,他赢得了一等奖。He even decided on a college major, although most students don’t need to make this choice so early.
Find healthy ways to relieve stress and have fun
“It’s not just study, study, study,” says Roslyn High School student Todd Warshawsky. "I was a track (田径) runner. That was a stress reliever from study." Sachem North High School graduate Erin Maryzek agrees. “(5)我们都应该学会在学校生活中找到一些有趣的事情,” says the Northeastern University freshman.

24、 Today's teens have grown up online. They socialize online. They do homework online. And surely they get their news online. But because they are so comfortable with the Internet,they seldom question the news stories online and pass along to their friends.
Now William Colglazier,a history teacher at a high school in America,is teaching his students how to think critically about online information and recognize a "fake(假的)news" story. His idea came from a study on people's online reasoning at Stanford University. The study found that young people lack(缺少)ability to reason about the information on the Internet. Most middle school students in the study could not tell the difference between an advertisement and a news story,and high school and college students fully trusted the websites ending in“.org"
The good news is that,according to Colglazier,once teens realize they've been duped,they have strong will to tell truth from lies.“But they need some pointers on how to find dependable and persuasive evidence(证据)and how to recognize when others use poor argumentation,”he said. Some of the pointers that Colglazier offers his students include moving off the site to find more information about the site and the writer's motivations(动机),looking past the first page of results in a google search and looking at the second or third page,and going beyond the "About Us" page on a website to find out more about the organization behind the news story.
Colglazier has tips for parents as well. He says it's a good idea for parents to be "friends" with their kids on social media(媒体)to see what stories they are sharing. He also suggests parents watch their teens as they search for something online and ask questions like “Why did you click on that?" and “Do you trust this information?" Those questions can lead kids to form habits of thinking critically about online information.
Colglazier shared some of his course with other teens in Teen Vogue,a famous magazine. He hopes more kids would take away some knowledge about thinking critically when they read news online. “The Internet is both beautiful and ugly", he said. "If people cannot tell real news from fake news,the resultscan be frightening.”
【1】When teens read a news story online,they
A.seldom raise doubts about it
B.always share it with their parents
C.usually pay attention to the website
D.often consider it as an advertisement
【2】The word "duped" in Paragraph 3 probably means “ “
A.criticized B.cheated C.challenged D.misunderstood
【3】Colglazier suggests students should
A.make more friends by using social media
B.find background information about a news story
C.mainly look at the first page of results in a search
D.ask parents some questions about online information
【4】What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage?
A.To explain why teens feel comfortable with the Internet.
B.To encourage teens to search for information online.
C.To guide teens to reason about the news online.
D.To introduce Colglazier's course to more teens.
25、WHEN a woman took the seat beside me on a plane, I felt uncomfortable. She had to lower herself slowly, squeezing (挤压) her body into the small space.
“My name is Kelly. I’m from Canada. Where are you from?” She waved a hand in front of my face. “China,” I said as I shook her hand unhappily.
Kelly kept talking to me. She was very thoughtful. When we were served drinks and meals, she made sure that I had enough room in my seat.
“I don’t want to make you uncomfortable with my elephant size!” she said sincerely. I couldn’t help but let down my guard.
As we talked, I was surprised by her wise words. She had read many books and was very smart.
I asked her if she ever thought about losing some weight.
“Aren’t you worried about the diseases that come with being overweight?”
“Not at all. I eat healthy and walk regularly,” she said. “I believe in my heart, the people who get diseases are the ones who worry. You see advertisements from exercise centers that read, ‘Free yourself from your extra baggage, so you are free to be yourself.’ You’re free only if you’re comfortable with who you are!”
I suddenly realized that Kelly was the most beautiful and clever woman I had ever met in my life.

26、My summer hols wr CWOT: B4, WE USED 2go 2 NY 2C my bro, his GF thr 3: @ KIDS FTF. ILNY, its gr8.
Can you understand this sentence? If you can’t, don’t feel too bad: neither could the middle school teacher in England who received this as homework. This is Netspeak: the language of computerized communication found on Internet or cellphones. To newcomers, it can look like a completely foreign language. So, what is the "translation of the sentence above? My summer holidays were a complete waste of time. Before, we used to go to New York to see my brother his girlfriend, and their three screaming kids face to face. I love New York, it’s great.
School teachers and parents say this new form of writing is harming the English language. Increasing spelling and grammatical mistakes can be seen in students' writing. They fear the language could become corrupted(面目全非的).
Everyone should just relax, say linguists(语言学家).They believe Netspeak is in fact more of a good thing. David Crystal, from the University of Wales, argues that Netspeak and Internet create a new language use and the almost lost art of diary writing has been picked up again. Geoffrey Nunberg, from Stanford University, agrees. " People get better at writing by writing, " he says. "Kids who are now doing text messaging, e-mail, and instant messages will write at least as well as, and possibly better than, their parents.”
Linguist James Milroy says, for centuries, it is believed without exception that young people are harming the language. And you can bet your bottom dollar that when today’s teenagers become tomorrows parents, they too will think this way. Milroy argues that languages do not and cannot become "corrupted", they simply change to meet the new needs
However, Netspeakers do agree that it is important to teach young people how to speak and write Standard(/E)English. Cynthia Me Vey says, I can understand Netspeak worries teachers and it's important that they get across to their pupils that text messaging is for fun, but that learning to write proper English is a must for their future.”
Perhaps, we should give teenagers a little more trust anyway. Erin, age 12, says, " I wouldn’t use text language in my homework. Text is just for fun.”
【1】What is the main purpose of the first paragraph?
A. To give an example of a foreign language.
B. To show an example of creative method
C. To express worries about using Netspeak.
D. To start the topic of Netspeak through an example.
【2】Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Cynthia McVey points out teenagers can deal with Netspeak properly
B. Geoffrey Nunberg believes Netspeakers can write Standard English
C. David Crystal thinks Netspeak helps develop the habit of writing
D. James Milroy says that language is changing and improving
【3】The expression "bet your bottom dollar" in paragraph means__________.
A. be quite sure B. be greatly surprised C. think it a pity D. find it interesting
【4】What can be the best title for the passage?
A. Netspeak: A Widely-used Language on Internet
B. Netspeak Harming the English Language?
C. Is Netspeak Helpful in Language Learning?
D. Netspeak: Advantages and Disadvantages
