Hannah Teter looks like a typical teenager, not someone you would expect to see in a luxurious （奢华的） hotel. But that’s exactly where she was, transformed from a small town girl with big dreams to a gold-medal snowboarder getting the big-time "star" treatment.
Ever since her incredible performance in the 2006 Winter Olympic Games in Torino, Italy, Hannah has been showered with attention. She’s done countless interviews, appearing on shows like Jimmy Kimmel and David Letterman. It’s a long way from Belmont, Vermont, with its population of 421 people.
"I grew up in a tiny town and a small school, I was just this hometown girl," said Hannah, during a break at the World Congress of Sport, a major conference about the business of sports being held in New York City. While her life has definitely changed in the last few weeks, one thing remains the same — her positive attitude. "The funny thing is that I still feel like an ordinary snowboard girl... People ask me, ‘So has your head gotten any bigger?’ but I don’t feel like it’s gotten any bigger. I still feel normal."
What’s the biggest lesson that Hannah has learned through her unbelievable success？"I grew up in Vermont, "Hannah said. "I have that kind of background where life’s about snowboarding, but it’s so much more than that. This is an opportunity to get out there and maybe make a change in the world."
And it looks like she is doing just that. She is starting a sugar brand named "Hannah’s Gold", and the profits（利润） will go to World Vision, an international charity that helps everyone from orphans（孤儿）in Asia to AIDS victims in Africa. "People come up to me and they’re excited about what I’ve done, "Hannah said." And that makes me excited, because I love what I do."

A．She is the world’s best competition snowboarder.

Just like the young character in Hannah Montana, who so often fights with her father over her desire to be more independent, British teenagers also have their troubles.
A recent survey among 2,000 British parents shows that girls and boys experience similar kinds of stress, with some slight differences .
Girls want to grow up fast, demanding greater freedom. They feel pressure from their peers to be thin and sometimes dangerously experiment with alcohol .
Girls over 14 are more concerned with getting a boyfriend, make-up and going out with friends than with their schoolwork. They are more likely to complain about pocket money .
Parents found they have their toughest time with boys over the age of 15. Their sons are battling bad skin, are reluctant(不情愿的) to speak, and just like girls over 14 are little interested in their studies. Seven out of ten parents said their sons become frustrated(挫败的) when they are not understood .
Unsurprisingly, it isn’t just British teenagers who have such problems.
In a survey published in the US last month, two out of three high school students said their life was tough. There was a universal worry over body image and ability to fit in socially.
Plenty of the teenagers feel great pressures to get good grades, with nearly half regarding this as their top worry. The next biggest issue is pressure they face to get into good college. According to the survey, 66 percent reported saving their money to pay for all or part of college.
“Today’s American teens have witnessed what their families have endured during recent economic challenges, and they are much more aware of the importance of planning ahead,” said Stuart Rubinstein, managing director with TD Ameritrade, which carried out the survey.
What is the article mainly about?
A. What makes the lives of teenagers so hard?
B. How to deal with teen problems?
C. Stress faced by UK and US teenagers.
D. Peer pressure faced by UK and US teenagers.
According to the survey, boys over 15 often feel great pressure to ______.
A. grow up fast B. experiment with alcohol
C. get into a good college D. be more open and communicative
The underlined word “universal” in Paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. global B. common C. average D. reasonable
How have recent economic challenges affected American teens?
A. They have become more concerned about their future.
B. They are now more worried about the ability to fit in socially.
C. They are attempting to learn more about money management.
D. They are spending more time developing their practical skills.

科目：高中英语 来源：20102011学年广东省高二下学期期末英语综合测试题（一） 题型：书面表达
阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
We spend hours, days and years of our lives in education. But how perfect do you think your school is? Imagine you could decide your ideal school. What would it be like? What would you be doing? We wanted to find out what teenagers around the world thought. Here is what they said.
Sonia from Italy: I’d like a room where we can go and relax and play computer games and chat with friends. Some older pupils in the school have this but I think there should be a place for everyone to go when they want to switch off from the lessons.
Richard form USA: I think it would be great to have a day off every week, as well as the weekend. If that day was a Friday or a Monday, we would have a long weekend every week. I’m sure we could learn just as much in fewer hours.
David from UK: The school dinners are absolutely disgusting. There is a little shop called a “tuck shop” which we can go to in our breaks but it just sells rubbish. I’d like to be able to buy fruit and healthy snacks.
Hannah from Australia: My school environment is great – especially the sports facilities. We’ve got a swimming pool and tennis court. It’s teachers I’d change. I think they should give us more freedom and choice about how we study and what we study. I also think it’s ridiculous that we have to wear a school uniform.
Sam form Mexico: I’d like clean toilets and showers, a big library, big lockers and a restaurant. Not much to ask for.
