• 1．The cost of living in countries like the U．S，Britain，Australia or France has skyrocketed in recent years．However，if you're willing to leave your country and explore life in other areas，there are many countries boasting an extremely cheap and low cost of living．Check out the following countries when planning your next move．
  Ecuador
     Ecuador is similar to the United States in many ways，and as a result has become a popular American getaway．They even use the U．S．Dollar for their currency．In this country，it's cheaper to eat out every day than cook for yourself on a budget in the U．S．You can even buy a building for around ＄50，000 and hire someone to look after it while you're away．
  Mexico
     Although the country is known for its poverty ridden streets，there are many wealthier areas that provide every facility you might need．You can live off a mere ＄700 to ＄800 a month in Mexico，and this includes rent for a nice place，facilities，food，and any sightseeing．
  Argentina
     Argentina has been a popular tourist destination for many years．It has great restaurants，a rich history，and many places to explore．Not to mention，it's not very expensive to live here．A decent sized home can cost around ＄139，000，which is relatively cheap in relation to homes in the United States．
  Vietnam
     Vietnam has also become a popular tourist destination in recent years．There are many million-dollar luxury homes by the beach，but you can find a modest flat or a small home for around ＄25，000 to ＄50，000 if you search in the right areas．
  
  （1）How much does it cost to live in Mexico for a year？

• 2．Tests，afterschool activities and problems at home can increase stress for students.But research now suggests that the main reason for the students' rising anxiety levels is something else.
     A psychology professor Jean Twenge said，"What a lot of teens told me is that using social media and their phones seems forced.This use of phones has led to a loss of sleep and face-to-face interactions." Last year，in the journal Pediatrics three researchers wrote that too much social media use might contribute to the development of mental health problems in teenagers，such as loneliness，depressive symptoms and anxiety.
     Researchers are still not sure whether phones cause student depression or depression causes phone use.Yet 70 percent of teens see anxiety and depression as major problems among their peers，according to a February Pew Research Center report.
     Schools are starting to take steps to deal with the problem.Many public schools pay outside companies to watch students' social media activity for signs of pain.Some schools have organized some events in which people do not use their electronic devices.Belfast Area High School in Maine had one such event in April.About 20 percent of students and school employees took part，demonstrating the influence that the technology has on their daily life.
     Emily Mogavero，a 17 yearold student in New York，said，"I definitely feel stressed to keep up my information and stuff.It kind of worries me that I'm on my smart phone so long." Mogavero said she sometimes puts her phone out of reach or powers it down so she doesn't hear anything.
     Some parents are not letting their children get smart phones until they grow up.A teacher，Erin Schifferli，says her 12 yearold daughter，Aeva，won't get a phone until she is 16 years old.Deirdre Birmingham of Montclair signed on a campaign called "Wait Until Eighteen" because she didn't think her video gameloving 10 yearold son was ready for a smart phone.
  
  （1）What's the main cause of teenagers' mental problems according to the text？

  
  A．Too many activities.
  B．Being lacking in enough sleep.
  C．Too much homework.
  D．Being addicted to social media.
  （2）How can parents deal with the children's problem？

  
  A．Help their children grow up quickly.
  B．Stop their children using smart phones.
  C．Pay more attention to children's study.
  D．Sign on more campaigns to make a difference.
  （3）What can we learn from the text？

  
  A．Almost all the students liked the schools' activities.
  B．70 percent of people have anxiety and depression.
  C．Overusing phones influences teens' social interactions.
  D．The findings of the research are very definite.

• 3．As much as seventy years ago，in the city of Boston，there lived a small girl who had the naughty habit of running away.
     Her parents，Mr.jye.ai Mrs.Alcott，from first to last，had had a good many frights about this flyaway Louisa.Once when she was only two years old，they were traveling with her on a steamboat，and she darted away，in some moment when no one was noticing her，and crawled into the engine-room to watch the machinery.Of course，her clothes were all grease and dirt，and she might have been caught in the machinery and hurt.
     Except for this one fault，Louisa was a good child，so she felt much ashamed that she had caused her mother，whom she loved dearly，so much worry.She made up her mind that she would never frighten her so again.No-she would cure herself of the running-away habit!
     After that，whenever she felt the least desire to slip out of the house without asking permission，she would hurry to her own little room and shut the door tight.To keep her mind from bad plans she would shut her eyes and make up stories-think them all out，hers，you know.Then，when some of them seemed pretty good，she would write them down so that she would not forget them.By and by she found she liked making stories better than anything she had ever done in her life.
     Her mother sometimes wondered why Louisa grew so fond of staying in her little chamber the head of the stairs，all of a sudden，but was pleased that the runaway child had changed into such a quiet，like-to-stay-at-home girl.
     It was a long time before Louisa dared to mention the stories and rhymes she had hidden in her desk but finally she told her mother about them，and when Mrs.Alcott had read them，she advised her to keep on writing.Louisa did so and became one of the best American story-tellers.She wrote a number of books，and if you begin with Lulu's Library，you will want to read Little Men and Little Women and all the books that dear Louisa Alcott ever wrote.
  
  （1）What does the underlined word "darted away" in paragraph 2 mean？

  
  A．disappeared.
  B．left quickly.
  C．lost herself.
  D．hid herself.
  （2）Why did Louisa crawl into the engine room？

  
  A．Because she wanted to watch the machinery.
  B．Because she wanted to make her parents frightened.
  C．Because she liked to make Jokes.
  D．Because otherwise，she might have been hurt.
  （3）How did Louisa cure herself of running-away habit？

  
  A．She asked permission before going out of the house.
  B．She found making stories more interesting and gave up her run-away plan at once.
  C．Her mother made her enter her own room and shut the door tight.
  D．She made up stories and then wrote them down.
  （4）Which of the following can best describe Louisa？

  
  A．Caring.
  B．Ambitious.
  C．Strong-minded.
  D．Demanding.
