Teens’ lives hit by economy

Some teenagers are crossing their dream colleges off their lists. Others are thinking of skipping(略过)their senior trips or reducing prom(毕业舞会)costs. Many are finding their work hours cut while their expenses rise.

So, who exactly is punishing them?Is it their parents, teachers or employers?No, it’s the economy(经济状况).

If you are like most teenagers, you probably don’t understand what “recession”, “negative economic growth” and “subprime mortgage crisis (次贷危机)”actually mean. And you probably don’t spend your days watching the ups and downs of the stock market.

It’s safe to say that most teens don’t know much about the economy except for one thing:it’s bad. But just how exactly is the economy affecting teens?

“The single largest thing I have noticed is the recession’s ability to affect my college choice, “said Heather Richars from Downey High School in California, US. “With the economic situation the way it is, I have thought less about going to a private or out-of-state university, and more about public schools in California, mainly because of the price of tuition, “said Richars. “I had been a fan of attending a private school up until this year.”

The economy cuts into other areas of teenagers’ lives, too.

Joey Camarda, a student at Modesto High School in California, who works at an ice cream store,  said,“ Probably due to the economy, I have been getting less hours at my job, and because of that, I am not getting enough money to help pay for college.”

Tara Mooney, a senior at Beyer High School, has also begun to notice that money is tight.

“Things are getting expensive,” she said. “When it comes to applying for colleges and wanting to go on senior trips, I have to pick and choose instead of doing it all.”

1.The purpose of writing the passage is mainly to tell us ________.

A.the economic recession has had a big effect on teens’ work, life and study

B.teenagers are now having difficulty in deciding which colleges to apply for

C.teenagers don’t know much about the economic recession

D.teenagers are considering giving up their senior trips to save money

2.Because of the bad economic situation, Heather Richars will most probably ________.

A.go to a private university

B.attend an out-of-state college

C.attend a public college in California

D.find a good university as he planned

3.How has Joey Camarda found the recession affects him?

A.He has to find more part-time jobs.

B.He has to help his mother do more chores.

C.He has found that he had more time to study.

D.His plan to pay for college will be hard to realize.

4.What can we conclude from the passage?

A.Parents punish their teens by giving them less money.

B.Most teens understand what negative economic growth means.

C.Teenagers are finding it harder to do what they want than before.

D.Teenagers have realized the importance of managing their own money.

Like most English children, I learned foreign languages at 36. When I made my first visit 37 the Unites States, I was 38 I could have a nice easy holiday without any 39 problem. But how 40 I was!

At the American airport, I was looking for a public telephone to 41 my friend Jenny I had 41 . A worker asked if he could 43 me. “Yes,” I said. “I want to give my friend a ring.” “Well, that’s nice. Are you getting married?” he asked. “No,” I answered. “I just want to tell her 44 the phone I have arrived.” “Oh,” he said, “there is a 45 downstairs on the first floor.” “But we’re on the first floor now,” I said. “Well, I don’t know what you are 46 about. Maybe you aren’t feeling too well after your 47,” he said. “You just go and wash up, and you will feel a lot better.” And he went 48 49 me wondering where on earth I was: at home we wash up after a 50 to get the cups and plates clean. How can I wash up at an airport?

At last we did 51. She 52 the misunderstanding(误会): American say “to give someone a 53 ”, but we English say “ to give someone a ring”. When we say “to wash your hands”, they say “to wash 54”. And Englishmen start numbering from the floor, so the 55 floor is the second for Americans.
