Teenage life — better now,or in the past?

Does this situation sound familiar (熟悉)?

You are complaining (抱怨)to your parents about something. Maybe your computer isn't powerful enough to play the latest games. 1.Then you hear...

So, is it really true that life is better for teenagers now? It is certainly true that many teenagers have got more things nowadays.3. So parents have got more money to spend on each child. And many things are cheaper than they were when our parents were children.

4.Forty years ago, no one could imagine a world with tiny computers and amazing smartphones. And now these things are necessary — we can’t imagine living without them!

However, technology often means we spend more time at home. And often it's just as, with our computer or television. Teenagers don’t do enough exercise. 5.And, although young people still get on well with their friends,some people think teenagers today don’t have so many social activities as they did in the past.

What do you think? How is teenage life better these days?

A. And it was too big for me.

B. A typical family is smaller now.

C. Or your friends’ bikes are better than yours!

D. So they aren’t as healthy as they were in the past.

E. Technology is probably the greatest change in our life.

For some students, getting better grades can seem like an impossible task sometimes. With the challenges(挑战) of school, just paying attention in class or studying hard isn’t always enough. But what if there were other ways for students to improve their grades? For parents and students who have ever wondered if this is possible, now you can rest easy. Research suggests that a person who likes doing activities can improve their grades.

Scientists think that those students who are active are not just exercising their bodies, but also exercising their brains(大脑). In turn, they can be able to improve their grades at school.

In the most recent study, researchers found that when children played for half an hour each day, they were better at organizing(组织) their schoolwork as well as doing project work and learning traditionally “difficult” subjects, such as maths.

What does this mean for children who aren’t active? Researchers think that if kids don’t get enough activities, they are going to be at a disadvantage when it comes to school performance.

In the research experiment, a group of children skipped with ropes(跳绳), played basketball and did a number of other games or exercises. Another group of children didn’t do any activities. They took part in testing both before experiment and after the experiment. Testing was mainly for maths and reading skills. Results showed that the children in the activity group did better on the tests than those who had no activity.

All work and no play will not only make Jack a dull(迟钝的) boy, but will also negatively(消极地) affect his grades in school, according to a new study published in the Journal of Pediatrics.

Parents complain(抱怨) children today are actually less active and they always worry about their grades. Dr. Belton, an expert, said, “If you’d like to see your kids do better in school, have them close their books, set down their pencils and go outside to play.”

1.What does the underlined words “rest easy” in Paragraph 1 mean?

A. Stop worrying. B. Keep working.

C. Continue learning. D. Study hard.

2.What kind of children is better at organizing their schoolwork in the most recent study?

A. They study all the time.

B. They play for half an hour every day.

C. They finish their homework on time.

D. They do some reading after class every day.

3.In Paragraph 5, what does the research experiment want to show us?

A. Doing activities is bad for the students.

B. Doing more homework can get better marks.

C. The children in the activity group did better on the tests.

D. Children who didn’t do any activities did better on the tests.

4.To help children get better grades, parents should _____.

A. ask the researchers for help

B. help them to organize their schoolwork

C. encourage them to do more activities

D. let them solve problems by themselves

5.What is the best title of the passage?

A. Studying hard. B. Taking part in testing.

C. Doing activities is interesting. D. Being active is helpful for better grades.

Did you know that each day one person in the US throws away 4.4 pounds of rubbish? Almost every month, we throw away our own rubbish in packaging alone. Packaging ( including boxes, bags, etc) comes to our homes with the things we have bought. Several weeks ago, the TV news said that in a city in Italy, tons of rubbish were piled up in the streets, and the smell was rather terrible. What can we do to help? We should get to know the following Rs.

To reduce means to make less rubbish That is one of the first things we all should do for the environment. Reduce your rubbish by doing things like packing your lunch in reusable containers(可再利用的容器),taking smaller potions(份)at dinner so you don't waste food when you have had enough, writing on both sides of paper, and using less water when taking a shower.

To reuse is to use things again. Think about the bags you get from the store. They can be reused to carry your lunch, to hold your rubbish, or to collect used cans. You can even take them back to the store the next time to carry your things instead of getting a new bag!

Recycling is an important part of keeping our planet clean and green. It can also save energy. Be sure that you don't throw things in the rubbish that can be recycled to make something else. Paper, plastic, cans and bottles can all be recycled, but food, electrical waste and mobile phones can't. When you are not sure whether something can be recycled, go to your parents and teachers for advice.

Follow the three Rs, and every one of us can do something to save the Earth. It is also the best way to save ourselves.

1.The first paragraph of the passage implies(暗示) that .

A. packaging should be given up

B. Italy is too dirty for us to visit

C. the US produces most rubbish

D. the Earth is becoming dirtier

2.The writer seems to ask people to reuse the bags .

A. only as rubbish bags

B. only for carrying other things

B. Books and newspapers.

C. Paper and mobile phones.

D. Plastic and electrical waste.

4.The passage mainly tells us that .

A. all useless things can be recycled

B. the environment is greatly improving

C. the three Rs can help us clean the Earth

D. we should never throw any rubbish away
