Chloe Lang is a fifteen-year-old American girl. She loves cooking a lot. When she was a little girl, she helped her grandma make meals at home.

One day in June, Chloe got a phone call from Rachel Ray luckily. One of his programmes is called Café One Night and it needed five teen cooks to help in a restaurant for a night.

In mid-July Chloe went to meet Rachel Ray and the other teen cooks. “During our stay with Rachel Ray, we were happy and excited. We were working so hard when they made the records.” Chloe says. “We made some wonderful food that night.”

Guess who came to eat! When Chloe and her friends saw their guests, they all held their breath, and then they screamed and clapped! In addition to some famous singer stars, the former US President Bill Clinton was also there!

It’s the end of class. When the bell rings, students of Luohu Foreign Languages School in Shenzhen quickly take out their cell-phones. They want to log on (登录) to their microblogs (微博) to check the funny things that have happened in the last hour. Since last year, the trend (潮流) of microblogging has swept the country. Recent surveys show that most students in middle schools have a microblog, and some even update(更新) their blogs over five times per day.

“We learn many fresh and interesting things on microblogs and they have become popular topics in class,” said Liang Jianmin, 14, a student at Harbin No 3 Middle School. “If you do not know about them, you are out of the loop (被排挤在圈外).” It is also a great place for students to let out stress. “My parents always ask me to study hard, and encourage me before exams, but actually it adds pressure (压力),” said Zhang Yazhe, 15, a student in Luohu Foreign Languages School. “When I share these feelings on my microblog, I get many replies from friends in the same situation, which makes me feel better.” But parents are worried that microblogging could be a waste of time. Some misleading（误导性的） messages may even cause danger to kids, they said.

Shen Mingde, a professor at the China Education Association, suggests parents not worry too much as long as kids are not crazy about microblogging. Instead, it can become a window for parents to understand their children.

“If parents can read their children’s microblogs, they’ll know their thoughts, thus (因而) leading to better communication and solutions to problems,” he said. Micro blogging tips for kids

★1. Don’t microblog for more than one hour a day.

★2. Never microblog in class.

★3. Try to talk face to face with people instead of just microblogging.

★4. Be critical (批判性的). Don’t trust all the messages on a microblog.

1.Why do the students quickly take out their cellphones after class?

A. 释放 B. 泄露 C. 熄灭 D. 开脱

Nowadays，cars are very important in people’s life. More and more cars are going into Chinese families. However，lots of car accidents take place and many people are hurt or killed every year. According to a police survey，（1） there are a lot of drivers driving after drinking. And the number of drunken driving is still large.

Never drive after drinking.

Never let anyone drive after drinking.

（2）Never give alcohol（酒）to anyone who would drive later.
