    How often do you change your hairstyle or ask for new dresses? You may be   16  to follow trends（潮流）in Western countries, but young people in the United States don’t care as much about   17  as you do.
    A recent survey among high school   18  in China, Japan, South Korea and the US found that   19  teenagers care more about their appearance than young people in the US.
    This survey was held in 156 high schools in the four countries. More than 7,000 teenagers were  20  about their views on life and the world. South Koreans, at 83 per cent, cared most about their looks. They were   21  by the Chinese and Japanese, while US students showed the least interest in fashion at only 33 per cent.
    “The different results show   22  of cultural background,” said Sun Yunxiao from the China Youth and Children Research Centre. He explained that in the US there are many different   23  of beauty, so teens are more   24  to be confident about their appearance.
    US teenagers’ high self-confidence is displayed in the   25 . About 85 per cent are happy with themselves. The percentage of self-confident Chinese students stands at only 30 per cent.
    What’s   26 , US students showed more individuality, with 88 per cent   27  that “people should follow their own interests rather than   28 of others”. This is much   29  than South Korea’s 69 per cent, China’s 49 and Japan’s 48.
    Japanese students, at 52 per cent, are most dissatisfied with modern society. Chinese and Koreans follow at second and   30  most dissatisfied.
    “  31  to the survey, Chinese students are happy and disciplined. They have a strong wish to make a difference.   32  Chinese students need to be more independent and learn how to relax,” said Sun.
    The students have different   33  backgrounds. But home and places where friends gather are the favorite places all teens seek happiness.
    Exams and worries about life after graduation cause much   34  among most of the teens  35  for the survey.

    Why Rent Textbooks?
    Renting textbooks is a relatively new idea for everyone. Back in the old days, the idea of renting one never existed since the books are affordable or readily available in libraries. But the time has changed and with the changes in educational system and various economic challenges happening across the globe, the price of textbooks increased.
    Given such fact, textbook renting is now a new fashion among college students. Research was made to find out if renting helps one save money and time rather than buying new textbooks and realized that it really is. Let’s examine carefully further and see why renting books is a cost-effective way to still get to have your textbooks without shelling too much money from your pocket.
    Gives value for your money
    You don’t have to buy all of your textbooks. Those non-major subjects, are better acquired through renting. It saves one money and helps you give out the money you save on some other personal possessions you need in college.
    Renting textbooks allows you to save at least 50% off the standard retail (零售) price for each item. You can tell, with a little research, that renting is a lot cheaper compared to buying used books aside from looking way better than the former.
    Saves time
    You can save a great deal of time when renting a textbook. Instead of browsing your way for hours trying to look for better deals online, you can simply go to a popular book renting marketplace online and just order away. There is literally no need to skimming for hours and see where you can find a great deal. Often, the rental company gives you prepaid postage slip just to get you going and do the same when you decide to return the book.
    This process not only saves you time, it also saves other resources like gas if you decide to go to the nearest bookstore to buy books or spend hours using electricity just to find a good deal.
    User Friendly
    Aside from being able to save money and time, renting textbooks brings convenience to all users. Imagine trying to scan the virtual bookshelf and checking on comments of previous users and figuring out which ones got bad comments and which had great ones. It could be fun at first but if you are short of time, the process can become annoying.
    If you rent books, you will only be needing the book’s ISBN number and find it right away. No more time-wasting site search. Type in the ISBN number, order the book, and wait for it to get shipped to your home.
    小题1:The reason why people haven’t the habit of renting textbooks in the old days is that ______.
    A．the educational system has not changed by now
    B．people can afford books or get books easily in libraries
    C．different economic challenges happen across the world
    D．the price of textbooks is much higher than that of nowadays
    小题2:The underlined word “shelling” in paragraph 2 means “______”.
    A．savingB．spendingC．removingD．wasting
    小题3:The following statements are the reasons why textbook renting is now a new fashion among college students EXCEPT ______.
    A．One can save a great deal of time in browsing for better deals online
    B．It brings convenience to all the users apart from saving money and time
    C．The process saves other resources if you don’t go to the nearest bookstore
    D．It saves one money and helps him spend money on what he need most in college
    小题4:The passage mainly tells us that ______.
    A．renting textbooks allows you to save a lot of money
    B．renting a textbook can also save you a great deal of time
    C．textbook renting was a relatively new fashion among college students
    D．textbook renting is a money-saving, fun, and, convenient way for college students

    Children of America are getting fatter every time. 13% of the children at the age of 6 to 11 are overweight(too fat).
    When we look at children’s lives today in the USA, we can see the root(origin)of the problem--sports and foods. Young children like sports but they don’t have enough around the start of high school. That’s especially true for girls. Meanwhile, to make matters worse, schools are becoming much more interested in sports teams. So children are not able to get enough exercise just when they need it the most. There is also the food problem. Children get most of their calories(热量) at restaurants or parties or somewhere else away from home. They often drink too many Cokes. Parents have a lot of fears about telling a child he needs to lose weight-- they are afraid it will push a child into an eating disorder. Some parents fear that pushing children to lose weight means their children will think they’re not good enough, or not loved because of their weight. Parents need to come to terms with the fact that the family is very important to the children. The most useful program for children is called "family weight control". This is good news. Mom and Dad, even if they don’t have weight problems, have to go through the same program as their children and learn how to get some exercise and how to eat healthily.

    Young people can have problems with their minds. Some students become worried because they have to study very hard. Others have trouble getting on well with people like their parents and classmates.
    Liu Wei, a Junior 2 student from Hefei, could not understand his teacher and was doing badly in his lessons. He became so worried about it that he started to cut his finger with a knife. Another student, 14-year-old Yan Fang from Guangzhou, was afraid of exams. She got very worried in the test, and when she looked at the exam papers, she couldn’t think of anything to write.

    Everyone knows about straight-A students．We see them frequently in TV situation comedies and in movies like Revenge（报复）of the Nerds．They get high grades, all right, but only by becoming dull laborers, their noses always stuck in a book．They are not good at social communication and look clumsy while doing sports．
    How, then, do we account for Domenica Roman or Paul Melendres?
    Roman is on the tennis team at Fairmont Senior High School．She also sings in the choral group, serves on the student council and is a member of the mathematics society．For two years she has maintained A’s in every subject．Melendres, a freshman at the University of New Mexico, was student-body president at Valley High School in Albuquerque．He played soccer and basketball well, exhibited at the science fair, and meanwhile worked as a reporter on a local television station．Being a speech giver at the graduation ceremony, he achieved straight A’s in his regular classes, plus bonus points for A’s in two college-level courses．
    How do super-achievers like Roman and Melendres do it? Brains aren’t the only answer．“Top grades don’t always go to the brightest students, ” declares Herbert Walberg, a professor of education at the University of Illinois at Chicago, who has conducted major studies on super-achieving students．“Knowing how to make the most of your innate（天生的）abilities counts for more．Much more．”
    In fact, Walberg says, students with high IQ sometimes don’t do as well as classmates with lower IQ．For them, learning comes too easily and they never find out how to get down．
    Hard work isn’t the whole story, either．“It’s not how long you sit there with the books open, ” said one of the many-A students we interviewed．“It’s what you do while you’re sitting．” Indeed, some of these students actually put in fewer hours of homework time than their lower-scoring classmates．
    The kids at the top of the class get there by mastering a few basic techniques that others can readily learn．
    小题1:The underlined word “nerds” can probably be    ．
    A．dull bookworms lacking sports and social skills
    B．successful top students popular with their peers
    C．students with certain learning difficulties
    D．born leaders crazy about social activities
    小题2:What can we conclude from the first paragraph?
    A．Most TV programs and films are about straight-A students．
    B．People have unfavorable impression on straight-A students．
    C．Everyone knows about straight-A students from TV or films．
    D．Straight-A students are well admired by people in the society．
    小题3:What will be talked about after the last paragraph?
    A．The interviews with more students．
    B．The role IQ plays in learning well．
    C．The techniques to be better learners．
    D．The achievements top students make．
    小题4: What can we infer from the passage?
    A．IQ is more important than hard work in study．
    B．The brightest students can never get low grades．
    C．Top students certainly achieve all-around developments．
    D．Students with average IQ can become super-achievers

    Long bus rides are like television shows. They have a beginning, a middle, and an end with commercials thrown in every three or four minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus window. "Buy Super Clean Toothpaste.” Drink Good Wet Root Beer.” Fill up with Pacific Gas.” Only if you sleep, which is equal to turning the television set off, are you spared the unending cry of "You Need It! Buy It Now!"
    The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if you’ve traveled that way before. Usually some things have changed new houses, new buildings, sometimes even a new road. The bus driver has a style of driving and it’s fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so. If the driver is particularly reckless （鲁莽的） or daring, the ride can be as thrilling （惊心动魄的） as a suspense story. Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the rightor the lefthand lane? After a while, of course, the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But you’ve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops.
    The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and there’s a kind of expectation and excitement in that. The seat of course, has become harder as the hours have passed. By now you’ve sat with your legs crossed, with your hands in your lap, with your hands on the armrests even with your hands crossed behind your head. The end comes just at no more ways to sit.
    小题1:According to the passage, what do the passengers usually see when they are on a long bus trip?
    A．Buses on the road.B．Films on television.
    C．Advertisements on the billboards.D．Gas stations.
    小题2:What is the purpose of this passage?
    A．To give the writer’s opinion about long bus trips.
    B．To persuade you to take a long bus trip.
    C．To explain how bus trips and television shows differ.
    D．To describe the billboards along the road.
    小题3:The writer of this passage would probably favor        .
    A．bus drivers who aren’t recklessB．driving alone
    C．a television set on the busD．no billboards along the road
    小题4:The writer feels long bus rides are like TV shows because          .
    A．the commercials both on TV shows and on billboards along the road are fun
    B．they both have a beginning, a middle, and an end, with commercials in between
    C．the drivers are always reckless on TV shows just as they are on buses
    D．both traveling and watching TV are not exciting.
    小题5:The writer thinks that the end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning because both are .
    A．excitingB．comfortableC．tiringD．boring

    Foresters are people who work with trees and know a lot about them. Occasionally, foresters have problems, and the foresters in southern Indiana have had many problems.
    The foresters were doing an experiment. They wanted to grow walnut (胡桃) trees by planting walnuts in the ground. If they succeeded, the foresters would be able to control the location of the trees. Also, this method would be much cheaper than transplanting or moving nut trees that were grown in plant nurseries (苗圃) .

    As the global financial crisis hits the economy, it’s tough finding a job — especially if you’re competing with thousands of other hopeful students. Sometimes you get the interview, but don’t quite seem to land the job because you don’t have related experience. Don’t despair! Here are a few tips that might give you an edge.
    1. Get connected to your network and try to expand it. Talk to friends, family and acquaintances. Let everyone know you are looking for a job.
    2. Prepare your resume (个人简历) carefully and be sure it’s perfect. Have someone else read it over for typos (打字错误) and grammatical errors. Get professional help. It’s worth the money to present yourself well. If money is tight, read books on resume writing from your public library or search for free help on the Internet.
    3. When you apply for a job, be sure you have the skills listed on the posting. If you get an interview, be sure to describe those skills thoroughly. Just having the skills is not enough. Expressing your abilities well can make all the difference in getting the job.
    4. Research typical interview questions and practice interviewing. Be well prepared for every interview.
    5. Don’t be afraid to accept a position for which you are overqualified — if there’s room for advancements. Many great job advancements come from first doing well at an entry-level position. If you have the right skills and attitude, it won’t be long before you’re in the job you want.
    6. Volunteer for a few weeks in your field of study to gain experience if you feel your resume needs an improvement.
    7. When deciding what to wear for an interview, think about the position level and the dress code of the organization.
    8. Use every tool available to you. For example, this site has many job links for your use.
    Good luck!

    Mistreat(虐待) your animals and someone might take them from you.
    Allen (not his real name) is driving north out of Virginia in the middle of the night，with stolen property in the back of his van.But Allen isn’t a criminal—in fact he normally would never dream of breaking the law.
    The “property” he stole is a dog he calls Flash.Allen doesn’t particularly want Flash in fact，in a few hours he’ll drop him off at a stranger’s house and never see him again.“I couldn’t just stand by and do nothing，”he explains.“The owner was plainly neglecting (忽视) the dog，but the police wouldn’t do anything about it.”
    For over a year，Flash had been tied to a tree in front of someone’s house.“He was sick and weak，”says Allen.“More than once I saw the owner kick him for no reason at all.”Allen had repeatedly tried to get the owner to take better care of the animal，or to give it away to someone who would.Finally，he took matters into his own hands—in the dead of night，he took Flash off his chain and drove away with him.
    An hour later，Flash had a new license and he_was_treated_by_a_veterinarian_who_knew_better_than_to_ask_questions.
    Pictures of the dog were put up on animal rescue websites，asking for someone to adopt the dog.A couple in New York offered to take the dog，and animal lovers in states along the way agreed to provide transportation.
    Nobody can say for sure how many animals like Flash are “rescued” every year；receiving stolen property is a crime，so rescuers tend to stay in the shadows.But a growing number of empty collars are because of their work as more and more animals find their way to loving homes.

    A．He liked the dog very much.
    B．He wanted to stop the dog being treated badly.

    B．In the dead of night，taking him off his chain and drove away with him.
    C．Kicking him for no reason at all.
    D．Asking the owner to treat the dog better or give it to someone else.
    小题3:How did Allen help the dog find a new owner?
    A．By putting advertisements on TV.
    B．By asking the Animals Protection Association for help.
    C．By asking for help on the Internet.
    D．By putting up signs on the street.
    小题4:What can we infer from the underlined sentence in the fifth paragraph?
    A．The veterinarian had treated many animals that were mistreated by their owners.
    B．The veterinarian had once stolen some animals like Flash before.
    C．The veterinarian was Allen’s friend.
    D．The veterinarian was a learned man.
