The Mississippi
The Mississippi is a great river whose relationship with man goes way back beyond its discovery in the 16th century. The River Indians used it as a highway and as a source of food, and it was they who gave it its name—“misi” meaning “great” and “sipi” meaning “water”．When the length of its branch, the Missouri, is added to it, the Mississippi becomes greater. From the source of the Missouri to the tip of the delta (三角洲), it is 2, 480 miles long.
Great rivers are likely to suffer floods. In 1927 the Mississippi flooded 26 thousand acres, sweeping away farms, towns, everything in its path. In 1938 its floods drowned or killed 200 people and made millions homeless. Today the river has largely been controlled. .
Industries have spread down some of the waterways of the delta, but otherwise the delta is a remote place, the homeland of a little colony of French Canadians that the British drove out of Nova Scotia in the 18th century. They still speak French, mixed with English, Indian, Spanish and Negro idioms. They keep to themselves, farming the rich soil of the delta. .
Pioneers who first reached its banks wondered not only where it went, but what lay beyond. In 1764 the French founded a city on the right bank of the river, and named it after their king, Louis XV. This city, named St. Louis, became the jumping-off(起点) place for the adventurous men and women who opened up the Great Plains, and the way to the Far West.
Some 40 years earlier, at the beginning of the 18th century, the French had founded another city just above the Mississippi delta, New Orleans. . New Orleans is one of the great ports of the world, and one of the greatest terminals for both sea and river traffic.
A．It was the Mississippi that made the city what it is
B．Levees, high banks built of earth, hold back the flood waters
C．Therefore, as we know, it’s the third longest river in the world
D．It is known that the “Great Water” has also been a frontier river
E．However, they paddled up and down the Mississippi in their boats to seek their fortune
F．The “Great Water” always remains a threat, for the streets of the city are below the level
of the river
G． They call themselves Cajuns, who have actually been leading fairly primitive lives and
preserving their own traditions

Are You Ready for College?
Before you send in your college applications, keep this in mind: it’s not the norm (准则) in every culture for students to go to college right out of high school.
【小题1】So if you find yourself applying for college simply because it’s the thing to do after high school, think again. Going to college right after high school may be the norm in your community, but it’s not the norm everywhere and it may not be the best decision for you.
【小题2】 Yes, higher education often gives young people a big advantage in the working world, but not always. A solid technical or business school application can give you an advantage as well, and if the environment seems like a better one for you than a traditional college campus, this might be your best choice. A lot of people lead successful lives with a high school education and years of work experience.
The price of a college or university education has become a serious burden for young people and their families. 【小题3】 In some cases, putting off college for a year or two while a student earns money full time can make sense. 【小题4】
【小题5】 Almost all students suffer from homesickness, but for some students, the transition may be too much to deal with.
| A．Is going to college always the best choice for high school graduates? |
| B．Spend some time considering your choices before sending in your applications. |
| C．Besides, it’s quite possible that going to college is not the right choice for you. |
| D．During this time, the student can take a few inexpensive classes at a community college. |

Do you know how to be street smart? Being street smart means knowing how to keep yourself safe from strangers when you’re alone or with other kids. 1 .
Most strangers aren’t dangerous and wouldn’t do anything to hurt kids. Unfortunately, though, some strangers can be dangerous, and it’s impossible to tell who’s OK and who’s not. 2 That’s why it’s important to follow these safety rules all the time.
Make your whereabouts known.
The adult who’s taking care of you needs to know where you are and when you’ll be coming home.
3 It’s more fun and safer to do things with friends. Traveling with a friend whenever you can is a good idea, and traveling with a group of kids is even better.
4 Safe spots are places where you can stop if you need help, like the houses of kids you know, the houses of your parents’ friends, police stations, libraries, and fire departments. When you’re walking or riding your bike, make a mental note of the safe spots along your route. That way, you’ll know where they are in case you ever need one.
5 You’ve probably been told lots of times that you should not yell and keep quiet. But when you think you might be in danger, it’s the perfect time to be noisy! If a stranger approaches you, follows you or tries to grab you, yell as loudly as you can and try to get away. People in the area will hear what’s going on and help you , so make plenty of noise.
| A．stick with (紧跟，不离开) a friend. |
| B．Pick out safe spots. |
| C．It helps you stay safe. |
| D．Shout “help” when necessary. |

Ryan Howes, a clinical psychologist from California, says "Forgiveness is a sensitive act that can feel like it opens us up to more pain． But we need to have a way to process and let go of the effects of injury, or we risk serious physical and emotional consequences．"
People who forgive tend to have better relationships, feel happier and more optimistic, and overall, enjoy better psychological well-being． 1. It's a difficult process．
There's no single guidebook for forgiveness, though several experts sell their own methods．
Howes suggests focusing on four elements:
Express the emotion． Let yourself feel hurt and angry． Express it to the person who made you feel that way． 2. Write a letter; you don't need to send it． Shout your emotions at the top of your lungs while you're in the car, alone, with the windows down．
__3. We want explanations ?even if we don't agree with them． "Was it a misunderstanding? Were you mad at me? Some sort of cognitive framework （认知框架） is necessary, even if you don't like the reason．"
Rebuild safety．4. That might mean an apology, reassurance from the person in question, distance or stronger boundaries．
Let go． Perhaps it's the hardest part: making a conscious decision not to hold a grudge （怨恨）．
If you're in a relationship, this means not bringing up past wrongs． By letting go, you give up
your role as the victim and become equals again． 5.
A．Otherwise, talk to a friend or even an empty chair
B．Control your feelings
C．Understand why
D．Before you forgive, you need to feel reasonably sure that the act won't reoccur
E．Still, no one ever said forgiveness was easy
F．It's a promise to yourself to stop feeling hurt and to fully move on
G．You may feel helpless, or like life is meaningless

Rules on how to be a fit kid
Being fit is a way of saying a person eats well, gets a lot of physical exercise, and has a healthy weight. 1. If you’re a kid who wants to be fit, here are three rules to live by.
1. Eat a variety of foods.
You may have a favorite food, but the best choice is to eat a variety. 2. Taste new foods and old ones you haven’t tried for a while. Some foods, such as green vegetables, are more pleasing the older you get. Shoot for at least five servings of fruits and vegetables a day--two fruits and three vegetables.
2. 3.
What does it feel like to be full? When you’re eating, notice how your body feels and when your stomach feels comfortably full. Sometimes, people eat too much because they don’t notice when they need to stop eating. 4. And over a period of time, overeating can lead to unhealthy weight gain.
3. Limit screen time.
What’s screen time? It’ s the amount of time you spend watching TV or DVDs, playing video games, and using the computer. The more time you spend on these sitting-down activities, the less time available for active stuff, like basketball, bike riding and swimming. 5.
These rules aren’t magic. However, follow them most of the time and you can become a fit kid sooner or later.
A. Drink water and milk.
B. Listen to your body.
C. Eating too much can make you feel uncomfortable.
D. There’re a lot of discussions these days about fit kids.
E. Try to spend no more than 2 hours a day on screen time.
F. Ask your parents to help you do your favorite activities regularly.
G. If you eat different foods, you’re more likely to get the nutrients your body needs.
