You know how wonderful you are, and you know that others know how wonderful you are, but what do you do when admiration crosses over the line into jealousy (嫉妒)? For most teens there will come a day when you realize that one of your friends is jealous and that this jealousy is hurting your friendship. When this happens it can seem like there is nothing that you can do, but the good news is that there is. Don't let jealousy spoil your friendship. Deal with it confidently and you might be back to normal much sooner than you think.
It can be hard to walk up to a friend and ask them what the problem is, but if you want to save your friendship you'll have to do just that. Don't approach them and ask why they are jealous of you unless of course you want to appear totally conceited (逞能的), just take some time alone with them and let them know that you've been feeling like there's been something coming between you. If they refuse to respond, then use the opportunities to explain how you have been feeling. Chances are that something you say will strike a nerve and your friend will open up as well.
When you figure out what is annoying your friend, ask him or her what (s)he thinks would make the situation better. If, for example, (s)he says that (s)he feels like (s)he doesn't get to spend any time with you because of your being off with your new friends from the swim team then maybe you could invite him or her along the next time or block off one day a week for just the two of you. Remember, though, that whatever solution you decide on should be a compromise. Don't limit your own talents or opportunities simply because your friend is unhappy. Try instead to include him or her in your new life and see how that works out.
Even the best of friendships can be ruined by jealousy. This destructive emotion is rarely productive and can turn best friends into worst enemies. Before taking extreme action, chat with your jealous friend to see if the two of you can work out a compromise. If you can't, be prepared to know exactly how far you will go to keep your friend and how far you won't.
1.According to the author, the jealousy emotion is ________.
A.normal B.productive
C.destructive D.extreme
2.What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 2?
A.How to solve the problem of jealousy.
B.Why we need to solve the problem of jealousy.
C.How to explain your jealousy to your friends.
D.Why it is hard to deal with the problem of jealousy.
3.What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A.There's always a solution to solve the problem of jealousy.
B.Jealousy can turn best friends into worst enemies.
C.You may lose a friend to keep your own gifts, chances or self?development.
D.You should go a long way with your friend to work out a solution.
4.This passage is mainly intended for ________.
A.female readers B.students
C.teenagers D.best friends

Contrary to popular belief, looking at someone's face alone is not enough to tell us whether they are roaring in celebration or screaming in frustration, researchers claimed.While people may believe they have the ability to read each other's faces, body language is the real clue that shows whether strong emotions someone is feeling are positive or negative.
In a study, groups of participants were shown a series of facial expressions such as tennis players photographed just after winning or losing a point.
In some cases the volunteers were able to see the player's full body, but in others they were only shown either their face or their body with the other removed.
Participants could clearly tell whether the players were winning or losing when they were shown the full picture or just the body, but their guesses were no better than chance when based on the face alone.
Those who were allowed to see the full image were convinced they had made their judgment based on the players' facial expressions even though results from the two other groups suggested otherwise.
The researchers carried out a second study where participants were shown a wider range of faces showing emotions including joy, pleasure, victory, pain and defeat.
Using photo?editing software, the researchers attached the faces to bodies expressing the opposite emotion, and asked participants to act out the emotions they saw in the photos.
The resulting poses were like the body poses in the photographs but not the facial expressions, demonstrating that people base their interpretation of strong emotions not on the face but the body.
Dr Aviezer, who led the study, said, “These results show that when emotions become extremely intense, the difference between positive and negative facial expressions becomes unclear.The results may help researchers understand how our body interacts during emotional situations.For example, individuals may fail to recognize facial expressions, but if they are trained to process important body language, their performance may significantly improve.”
1.People tend to believe that ________.
A.someone's body language has an effect on their feelings
B.reading someone's face alone cannot tell their feelings
C.someone's body language is the only clue to their feelings
D.someone's feelings can be read by their facial expressions
2.What do we know about the first study?
A.The participants were divided into four groups.
B.All participants were given the same pictures to see.
C.It proved that emotions influence people's body language.
D.Participants could tell the players' feelings when seeing the full picture.
3.What did Dr Aviezer think of the results of the study?
A.Ridiculous. B.Useless.
C.Unrealistic. D.Helpful.
4.Which of the following can summarize the main idea of the passage?
A.Body rather than eyes is the window of the soul.
B.Facial expressions can reflect the emotions clearly.
C.Researchers link emotions to body language through software.
D.Two studies focus on the link between body language and emotions.

During her sixty-year career performing, Lena Horne entertained people with her beauty and rich, emotional voice. She used her fame to fight social injustices toward African-Americans.
Lena Horne was born in New York in 1917. At sixteen, Lena became a dancer at the famous Club in New York City. After taking voice lessons, she soon became a singer. In 1940, Lena Horne became the first African-American to perform with an all-white jazz band. After performing at a club in Hollywood, California, she caught the attention of filmmakers. She soon began making movies. Her films became very popular. In the 1940’s, Lena Horne was the first African-American in Hollywood to sign a long-term contract with a major movie studio. Her deal with MGM stated that she would never play the role of a servant. She refused to play roles that represented African-Americans disrespectfully(无礼的). But this refusal also limited her movie career.
Lena Horne once said that World War Two helped make her a star. She was popular with both black and white soldiers. She sang on army radio programs and traveled to perform for the troops.

For my grandmother’s 70th birthday,my family and I visited South Korea.While there,I was attentive to Korean high schools and students.
I was surprised by how different Korea’s public high schools are from America’s.Korean high schools can be all?girls,all?boys or co?ed (男女同校的) unlike our standard co?ed high schools.There are three grades:“go 1(10th)”,“go 2(11th)” and “go 3(12th)”.“Go” is the first syllable of the word “go?deung?hakkyo”,which,simply translated,is “high school”.
In America,unless you want to go to a private school,you don’t have to take an entrance exam.In Korea,however,students must take a test to get in because of the many choices of schools.
Another difference I couldn’t help but notice was the students’ appearance.With very few exceptions,all wear uniforms. A name tag (标牌) with the student’s name,grade and homeroom number must also be worn.Girl’s skirts can’t be above the upper part of the knee,and it is forbidden to dye(染) your hair or wear accessories (装饰品) except small earrings.There are strict regulations for appearance to achieve neatness,and it seems the only freedom students have is with their choices of hair style,socks and shoes.
The final difference was the setup of the classes.There may be 40 students in a classroom,but the number can be less or even more,depending on the population of the town or city.Although there are many students per classroom,they are very close,which I think is a result of not changing classrooms for different subjects.There are no levels in the subjects and the teachers are the ones who switch classrooms.They just have ten?minute breaks between subjects.In each class,students are ranked by their grades.This causes strict competition,and Korean students do a lot of studying.To help them,all schools have extra study classes after school.One other fact that helped me appreciate living in America is that Koreans have school on Saturdays.Although it’s only a half day,I think I speak for most Americans when I say we could never imagine ourselves in school on a Saturday.
Korea’s public high schools are clearly different from America’s.I had imagined them to be just like our schools,but now I have a clear picture of how different they are.
1.How many main differences are mentioned between Korea’s public high school and America’s?
A.3. B.4.
C.5. D.6.
2.It seems that the writer ________.
A.is familiar with the education system of high schools in Korea
B.is fond of Korean students’ appearance
C.prefers the high school life of America to the one of Korea
D.feels it common to have lessons on weekends
3.What does the underlined word “setup” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A.Arrangement. B.Size.
C.Number. D.Outline.
4.According to the rules, the students of Korea can ________.
A.go to different high schools without exams
B.wear any clothes except uniforms at school
C.attend different classes as they like
D.have different hair styles

Parents are creating an “I want it now” generation by indulging children’s every demand at Christmas,say experts.Youngsters are becoming increasingly selfish,claim the education analysts.
Consumer?savvy children are forcing their families into racking up huge debts and risk becoming spoilt and dissatisfied in the future.
Behavioural consultant Chris Calland said,“Parents are desperate to make Christmas into a magical fairy tale for their kids.There’s nothing wrong with that as such.The problem arises when it means always giving into all our children’s demands—even if they are beyond our price range or not age?appropriate.”
Ms Calland,who runs “Santa Says No” style sessions with colleague Nicky Hutchinson,added,“Many of us go into so much debt providing the gifts our children want that we spend the rest of the year paying off the bills.Yet so often the parcels we’ve carefully wrapped,once opened,are just pushed away because the very thing our little boy or girl was once so desperate for,they have now lost interest in.”
Ms Calland and Ms Hutchinson have drawn up a list of guidelines to help parents manage their offspring’s Christmas lists this year.They say that adults can actually improve their relationships with their children by resisting “pester (纠缠) power”.
Ms Calland said,“All too often we say yes because we want an easier life when the fact is that we’re only building up problems for the future.We are helping create a generation of youngsters who are blind to the needs of others and the necessity of hard work.”
“Children learn fast—if we sometimes change our mind,they quickly realise it might be worth lying on the floor and screaming for it.Make sure you and your partner are working together on this.Be consistent.And try not to get caught up in competition with other families or friends.”
1.What is the main problem with the “I want it now” generation?
A.They are quite self?centered.
B.They like to live in fairy tales.
C.They waste a lot of money on gifts.
D.They can’t keep their interest in gifts.
2.What is probably the aim of “Santa Says No” style sessions?
A.To advise on how to wrap gifts properly.
B.To keep children’s interest in the gifts.
C.To tell parents how to say no to children’s demands.
D.To advise parents on what gifts to buy for children.
3.According to the passage,we can infer that Ms Calland intends to ________.
A.analyze children’s behavior
B.give advice to parents
C.introduce a new generation
D.give her support to parents
4.Ms Calland would agree that parents should________.
A.buy nothing for children at Christmas
B.choose gifts carefully for children
C.let children choose their own gifts
D.avoid competing with others

Nowadays, mobile phones are become more and more popular in the middle school students. In my opinion, we can bring mobile phones to school. As we know, the 21st century is a modern age and full of informations. A mobile phone is one of the quicker tools for us to exchange messages. The mobile phone is a fashionable and useful invention, but we ought to make the best use of it. Suppose there’s sudden accident, it is more conveniently for us to dial for help immediately. There’re also some games in the mobile phone. We can relax us by playing them when we’re tired of our studies. In my opinion, It’s not wrong to follow after the fashion, but the most important thing is that to use the mobile phone in a right way.
