Teenage life is quite dramatic (戏剧性的)but that doesn’t mean you cannot enjoy your life in these years. Even with your daily troubles, your life is not very hard if you know how to deal with them.
I know exactly how you feel. Teenage life can be hard. You are not a kid anymore, because you are smart enough to consider your surroundings. However, you are still not an adult because there are still lots of experiences that you need to have and lessons that you need to learn from these experiences. Above all, the hormonal (荷尔蒙的) imbalance in your body can really mess you up. I have been there. I was in it for six years exploring what life is about!
As a teenager, I had a major problem completing my routine tasks on time. And at that time, all that I needed to do was to finish my homework, study for the upcoming tests and clean my room. Now, I have much more things to do: cooking, cleaning and working while keeping a balance between all my relationships related to work, family and friends. That really is a lot of work. So, I will just give you one golden tip, “Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today.”
Life becomes much easier now because I finish all my work on time and I have enough time to let my hair down. Half the problems of a teenager appear because we hate doing things. We’d rather go and have fun than sit down and take on our responsibilities. That is why you have so much trouble in your life; your parents won’t let you go out with friends because you haven’t cleaned your room or your teacher is always criticizing you because you haven’t finished your homework.

A.Parents B.Scientists C.Teachers D.Teenagers.

C.It was boring. D.It was difficult.
27.What does the writer advise teenagers to do

C.Finish their homework. D.Give up their friends.

Confucius(孔子), a famous teacher , was a politician and philosopher who lived in “Spring and Autumn Period”. During his lifetime, he planted the seeds for China’s transformation by teaching thousands of people. Today, he is thought to be one of the world’s greatest teachers.
Confucius grew up in a poor family. As he grew up, Confucius worked to help his mother earn money. When he wasn’t working, he would read. His favorite thing to do was to learn. His mother saw this and did her best to help him learn. One day, rich families noticed how smart he was and offered him jobs counting their money and keeping track of their crops.
Confucius did this until he was 30 years old, but he always wanted to do more. He didn’t like the way rulers treated their subjects. He wanted to find a way to help people who were less fortunate than he was. Later, he founded the philosophy “Confucianism”. Confucianism states that by educating yourself, loving your family, and respecting tradition you could become a better person. Confucius believed a person could achieve these things by practicing self-discipline. For the rest of his life, Confucius traveled and taught the people of China about self-discipline and the importance of education. He even opened China’s first school that taught both the poor and the wealthy as equals. Although he became very famous among China’s lower classes, the rulers of China never accepted his teachings. Eventually, his philosophy of self-discipline helped China unite under one ruler and finally find peace. Today, Confucius is celebrated all over the world for his philosophy of education, equality, and peace over war, money, and injustice.
32. What can we know about Confucius from the passage

A. Self-discipline. B. Self-confidence. C. Respect. D. Equality.
35. What is the writer’s attitude towards Confucianism
A. Doubtful B. Supportive C. Disappointed D. Hopeful

Yang Liu, 25, who was born and raised in Zunyi, Guizhou, had many dreams as a child. While developing different interests, Yang grew up practicing duzhupiao, or “bamboo-drifting,” a skill which originated in the Chishui River area in Guizhou Province a long time ago. This involves navigating waterways standing on a bamboo raft. However, she didn’t expect it would become a lifelong dream for her 56 (pursue).

When Yang turned 10, she 59 (repeated) lost her balance on the bamboo rafts and fell in the river. As a good 60 (swim), she was not scared but found 61 entertaining. “I can still remember the moment when I successfully drifted on the river for the first time. I was so excited 62 I didn’t want to stop,” recalls Yang.
In 2018, she showed drifting with the help of bamboo poles to tourists at a scenic spot in Zunyi. One day, she posted her first short video on social media. The video, 63 showed the young woman’s control and balance, 64 (amaze) viewers. The video went viral and gained over 1 million views.
Since then, Yang has been sharing her short videos of drifting by bamboo online. This has won her a large fan base abroad, 65 followers calling her “Kung fu master on water” or “dancing fairy on water.”

Jenny was the only child in her home. She had a quarrel with her mother one afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn’t help weeping sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding from her mother. Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat, but it was not even possible for her since she had nothing with her. She stood beside a stand for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she sighed and had to leave.
The seller beside the stand noticed the young girl and asked, “Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles ”
“Oh, yes….but I don’t have money on me…" she replied. “That's nothing. I'll treat you today,” said the man, “Come in.”
The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently.
“What is it " asked the man kindly
“Nothing, actually I was just touched by your kindness!” said Jenny as she wiped her tears. “Even a stranger in the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so merciless compared to a stranger!”
Hearing the words, the seller smiled, “Girl, do you really think so I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you number the times she cooked for you Have you expressed your gratitude to her "
Jenny sat there, speechless and numb with shock; she remembered her mother’s familiar face and weathered hands“Why didn’t I think of that A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel indebted(感激的),but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me."
On the way home, Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.

Dear Jack,
I’m so glad to hear from you. You wrote that you couldn’t concentrate in class and became very anxious about your study. I quite understand how you feel.
Firstly, you are highly advised to take notes while listening in class. Thus, it may be easier for you to focus on what the teacher is saying. Besides, you’d better preview your lessons before class. Being well prepared will help increase your confidence and interest, which leads to improvement of your concentration.
Hope you find my suggestions helpful. Wish you a lot of progress in study.
Yours truly,
Li Hua
67. One possible version:
Approaching the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath. When she knocked at the door, she found the door was locked and that her mother was not in. Tired and sad, she sat down in front of the house. “Where can my mother be ” she wondered. “Is she still angry with me ” Again, the scene of the quarrel appeared in her mind. She remembered her rudeness to her mother. Realizing that all the scolding from her mother was due to the fact that her mother really cared a lot about her, she felt rather ashamed and tears began to roll down her cheeks.
A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back. She raised her head and saw the familiar face of her mother. “Here you come! I've been looking for you,” she said, tired and relieved. Jenny couldn’t help throwing herself into her mother’s arms. “Mum, I'm so sorry and thank you for all you have done for me.” She expressed her sincere apology and great gratitude. Hearing this, her mother smiled, patting her back gently.
