• 2．Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers.But last summer，Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son.Suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents. "The door to his room is always shut，" Joanna noted.
     Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter. "She used to cuddle up （依偎） against me on the sofa and talk，" said Mark."Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something.Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady.The problem is understanding which time is which."
     Before age 11，children like to tell their parents what's on their mind."In fact，parents are first on the list，"said Michael Riera，author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers."This completely changes during the teen years，"Riera explained."They talk to their friends first，then maybe their teachers，and their parents last."
     Parents who know what's going on in their teenagers' lives are in the best position to help them.To break down the wall of silence，parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say，and try to find ways to talk and write to them.And they must give their children a mental （思想的） break，for children also need freedom，though young.Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend，not a manager，with their children is a better way to know them.
  
  （1）"The door to his room is always shut"suggests that the son

  .
  A．is always busy with his study
  B．begins to hate his parents
  C．doesn't want to be ignored
  D．keeps himself away from his parents
  （2）What troubles Tina and Mark most？

  
  A．They can't read their daughter's mind exactly.
  B．They don't know what to say to their daughter.
  C．Their daughter talks with them only when she needs help.
  D．Their daughter isn't as lovely as before.
  （3）Which of the following best explains"the wall of silence"in the last paragraph？

  
  A．Teenagers talk a lot with their friends.
  B．Teenagers talk little about their own lives.
  C．Teenagers do not talk much with their parents.
  D．Teenagers do not want to understand their parents.
  （4）What can we learn from the last paragraph？

  
  A．Parents are unhappy with their growing children.

  C．Parents shouldn't be angry with teenagers.
  D．Parents have to talk with children face to face.

• 3．When someone asks me what my goals are for the coming year，I don't usually know how to reply.Of course I，as most people do，want to see an improvement in my grades.This year，however，I'm hoping for something different.
     Through the course of my school life，I've gradually developed a new understanding of the word "prioritization （优先次序）".The first thing I wish to get in Senior 1 is the ability to manage my time better.I'll surely become busier with the coming semester，and proper organization is important.From school clubs to academic competitions，everything should be set up in a way that doesn't influence my health，which leads me to my second goal.
     My mother has always told me put my health first，so in the future，I hope to both physically and mentally healthy.A person can't study without having the energy to do so.In order to stay energetic，they must put their health first，no matter how busy they are，or how much work they have to complete.
     And finally，I hope that I won't be discouraged by my failure and never give up on my dreams.I hope that I'll have the courage to try new activities and clubs.I believe my final goal can apply to every student around the world.We should all respect one another's likes and dislikes，and focus on each other's strengths，not our weaknesses.Everyone should try to take part in all of life's opportunities.
     Albert Einstein once said， "Life is like riding a bicycle.To keep your balance，you must keep moving." In my case，it's the other way around.In order to keep moving，I must keep my balance—the balance between studies and activities，efficiency and procrastination （拖延症），academics and health， passions and dislikes.The new journey is going to be a hard one，but if I establish these goals，I believe I will make it through to the end.
  
  （1）During this school year，what does the author hopes to do？

  
  A．Focus on improving her overall grades.
  B．Join as many school clubs as possible.
  C．Learn how to manage her time well.
  D．Spend more time on outdoor activities.
  （2）According to the article，which of the following students should do？

  
  A．Always put their studies first.
  B．Not be afraid of failing.
  C．Only do what they're good at.
  D．Make different kinds of friends.
  （3）What does the underlined word in the last paragraph mean？

  
  A．A strong feeling of dislike.
  B．A strong feeling of love.
  C．A strong feeling of anger.
  D．A strong feeling of joy.
  （4）What does the author intend to do？

  
  A．Show what she likes about high school life.
  B．Stress the importance of health to students.
  C．Show how to balance our studies and activities.
  D．Share her goals for the coming high school year.

• 4．Listen carefully.Don't answer too quickly.At least，don't say"yes" too soon.A friend might ask ，"Want to take a hike？" You should say ，"Where？"If he replies "The entire Appalachian Trail（阿巴拉契亚国家步道）"，take warning.Here's why.
     The trail is one of the longest marked footpaths in the world.It starts at Springer Mountain，Georgia.It winds along the top of the mountains.It goes through 14 states.It ends at Mount Katahdin ，Maine.As the crow（乌鸦） flies ，this is about 2，200 miles.But when walked ，the trail is 2 ，600 miles.If you walk nonstop ，it takes about six months to walk through the trail.
     Most hikers begin from Springer Mountain.They start around April 1.This is why.The snow has probably melted in the south.But there may still be snow in the north.By the time they reach Maine ，the snow will have been long gone.What's the chance of making it nonstop？Here is the data.About 1 ，500 people try it each year.About 300 people make jye.ai.It is a great challenge indeed.
     Careful planning is necessary.There are problems to solve.The biggest one is the weight on one's back.Too many hikers start out with too much.Wise ones don't carry food.They send packages to post offices along the way.There are no campfires allowed.Some shelters are near the path.But the trail is crowded.It is hard to find space.A perfect tent is necessary.And it rains a lot.Great rain gear is needed.It should be light.
     Benton MacKaye founded the trail.The first section of the trail was opened in 1923.It is cared for by volunteers in each state.Do you plan to go？Read lots of books by people who've done it.
  
  （1）What is the example of the crow in Paragraph 2 used to show？
