Do your parents ever say, “Act like a lady” or “Be a gentleman” to you? But in the eyes of today's teenagers, what qualities (品质) should a lady or a gentleman have? Let’s take a look.
What is a gentleman?
The girls have their say:
Huang Xiaoyu of Guizhou: A gentleman is not a strong, stupid guy. He doesn’t get angry. He cares about others’ feelings. He’s always ready to help. There is a boy in my class I think is a gentleman. I didn’t do well in the mid-term English exam. He comforted (安慰) me by saying I would do better next time. His words made me feel happier.
Chen Tingting of Henan: A gentleman always says, “ladies first”. When cleaning the classroom, he does the heavy work. He lets girls go into rooms first. There aren't any gentlemen in my class. When there are snacks, the boys in my class are always the first to grab them!
Boys tell us what they think a lady is:
Wu Yifan of Dalian, Liaoning: A ladylike girl is gentle and quiet. But she’s not shy; she’s not afraid of expressing herself. She is kind and beautiful. To me, actress Dong Jie is a lady. She is pretty and gentle. She also has a kind heart. She does a lot for charity.
Wang Lichao of Tianjin: A lady is not just pretty-looking but wise too. She never says rude words. She is not noisy. She is always calm and at ease. There aren’t any real ladies in my class, I think. Most of the girls are of a style I call “wild beauties”.

Do your parents ever try to limit how much soda(苏打)you drink? They say drinking too much isn’t good for you, right? Now, in New York, Mayor Michael Bloomberg also limits how much soda you can have—and it is not only for you but also for adults!
Starting in March, 2013, places like movie theaters, restaurants and sports centers, can’t sell sodas larger than 473 ml. Sellers who break the ban(禁令)will face a $200 fine. But you can still get whatever size you want at supermarkets.
Mayor Bloomberg says it will help people keep healthy. In New York, more than half of adults and nearly 40% of the children are overweight or obese(肥胖的). Obesity kills thousands of New Yorkers every year and the city spends as much as $4 billion a year on medical care for overweight and obese people.
New York has a population of about 8 million. Of course it’s impossible for all New Yorkers to agree on the ban. There are different opinions(意见). Keith Aiken believes the ban can help fight teen obesity. “Clearly, soda causes teen obesity. We have to do something,” he says. Chuck Kallenbach doesn’t think the ban can work. He says, “I can’t buy a large cup of soda, but I can buy two small cups.” Michael Tansini says, “Whatever size cup I want is my own business. No one should limit it!”
1.This passage is mainly written for .
A.teenagers B.adults C.teachers D.sellers
2.Where can one get sodas larger than 473 ml in New York after March, 2013?
A.At movie theaters. B.At restaurants.
C.At sports centers. D.At supermarkets.
3.Who are against the ban?
A.Michael Bloomberg and Chuck Kallenbach. B.Michael Bloomberg and Keith Aiken.
C.Chuck Kallenbach and Michael Tansini. D.Keith Aiken and Michael Tansini.
4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.New York is a city with about 80,000,000 people.
B.Over half of the children are overweight or obese in New York.
C.Nearly 40% of the New Yorkers are against the large-size soda ban.
D.Thousands of New Yorkers lost their lives every year because of obesity.

Have you ever heard someone say, “You completely look like you’re a Jessica” or someone similar? People seem to think that they know what kind of person a “Jessica” or a “Michael” looks like. Why is this?
According to a research in the Journey of personality (个性) and Social Psychology, humans like to connect people’s names with their looks (长相), and can even guess someone’s name according to how they look. Researchers at the Herbrew University of Jerusalem, Israel, collected thousands of photos of people’s faces. They put a name under each photo. Then, they asked volunteers to guess which of the four names was correct. The volunteers were able to guess the right name 38 percent of the time. It seems that the faces really give them clues (线索) about someone’s name, Reader’s Digest reported. However, the volunteers were not as good at guessing the real names of people who used nicknames (昵称) more often than their real names. This may show that a person’s looks are influenced by their name only if they use it often.
This kind of face-name matching happens because we often become what other people expect us to become,” Ruth Mayo from the university told science news website Eurek Alert.
The researchers believe there are also stereotype (刻板印象) about names. For example, the volunteers usually think that men named Bob should have rounder faces because the word itself looks round. They may think that women named Rose are beautiful. They expect them to be just like the flowers that they are named for.
1.The purpose of the research is to find out________.
A.how people’s looks influence their names B.if people’s names are related to their looks
C.what the most popular English names are D.if men’s names are different from women’s
2.The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 4 refers to (指代) ________.
A.the women B.the volunteers C.the researchers D.the flowers
3.The volunteers in the research most probably match Picture with the name “Rose”.
A. B.
C.
D.
4.According to the text, some people look like their names because they________.
A.like to connect their names with their own looks
B.use nicknames more often than their real names
C.have become what others expect them to become
D.look forward to being seen as special persons.
5.Which of the following would most probably have this text?
A.Business Week B.New York Daily News
C.Discovery D.Science Progress

Have you ever noticed an advertisement which says "Learn a foreign language in six weeks, or your money back! From the first day your pronunciation (发音) will be excellent.Just send …" and so on? Of course, it never happens quite like that.The only language that is easy to learn is the mother tongue.And think how much practice that gets! Before the Second World War people usually learned a foreign language in order to read the literature (文学) of the country.
Now speaking the foreign language is what most people want.Every year many millions of people start learning one.How do they do it? Some people try at home, with books and tapes; some use radio or television programmes; others go to evening classes.If
they use the language only twice or three times a week, learning it will take a long time, like language learning at school.A few people try to learn a language fast by studying for six or more hours a day.
It is clearly easier to learn the language in the country where it is spoken.However, most people cannot afford this, and for many it is not necessary.They need the language in order to do their work better.For example, scientists and doctors mainly need to be able to
read books and reports in the foreign language.Whether the language is learned quickly or slowly, it is hard work.Machines and good books will help, but they cannot do the students' work for them.
1.Before the Second World War people learned a foreign language in order to ________.
A. speak to each other
B. listen to the radio
C. read something they didn't know
D. write the literature of the other country
2.The easiest way for us to learn a foreign language is ________.
A. using the language six or more hours a day
B. learning the language at school
C. studying the language in the foreign country
D. reading the foreign stories as many as possible
3.The passage mainly tells us that
A. the more you practise, the quicker you'll learn the language
B. it is possible for you to learn a foreign language in six weeks
C. it is not good for you to learn a foreign language by yourself
D. the quicker you learn a foreign language, the more you must pay for it

Have you ever felt angry with your parents? Do you sometimes quarrel with your parents? If you're upset or angry, try to keep yourself cool. Sometimes, the more you show your anger, the unhappier your parents will be. Try to come up with an idea that can solve your problem so that it won't happen again.
It might seem that your parents don't understand you—but don't give up. Remember that they don't really want to make things difficult for you. Your parents care about you, but sometimes it's just hard for them to know what you are thinking.
One of parents' jobs is to take care of you and keep you safe—until you're old enough to take care of yourself (but some parents have trouble giving up looking after their children even then)!
Usually, kids who quarrel with their parents learn to get along with them sooner or later. This is especially true if kids are able to make their parents know how they feel and what's important to them.
And remember that this may take time. It's not always easy. Talking with your parents about your opinions patiently—instead of shouting at them—will also make them listen to you more carefully. And you'll get respect(尊敬) and learn how to get along with them.
1.If kids want to get along with their parents, they should try to make their parents know ______ their thoughts are.(填单词)
2.Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese.
_______________________________________
3.What does “this” in the last paragraph refer to?
_______________________________________
4.How can you make your parents listen to you more carefully?
_______________________________________
5.Give a proper title to the passage.
