1、阅读下面的短文,将画线部分译成英文或中文。
You are in your last year of junior high school.(1)Have you thought about what it will be like in high school? Are you ready for a fresh start in a new environment? Some high school graduates from the United States share their tips:
Organize and plan your studies
“The biggest thing is to stay organized,” says Philip Tubiolo, a graduate from Bayport High School.(2)He says you can use either paper or online tools to help with your studies. "I would transfer (转换) paper notes online and make study guides. Everything was in one spot (场所) for finals and midterms."
Find your interests
“I knew I was more of a science kid,” says Bayport’s Tubiolo. “I took AP Biology in 10th grade and loved it.”(3)AP classes are college-level classes that high school students can take.He also joined his school’s Science Olympiad team.(4)在一次国际数学比赛中,他赢得了一等奖。He even decided on a college major, although most students don’t need to make this choice so early.
Find healthy ways to relieve stress and have fun
“It’s not just study, study, study,” says Roslyn High School student Todd Warshawsky. "I was a track (田径) runner. That was a stress reliever from study." Sachem North High School graduate Erin Maryzek agrees. “(5)我们都应该学会在学校生活中找到一些有趣的事情,” says the Northeastern University freshman.

24、(1) Teens are gaining(增加)weight. Today most teenagers are at least one size larger than teens were 20 years ago. Even clothing sizes have changed. Did you know that a small today used to be a medium, 20 years ago?
(2) A recent research shows 97%of teens need more exercise. It's bad news because too little exercise means you are missing a lot of good things in life. Exercise helps in two ways.
(3) First, exercise helps your body. Physical activity can make your body strong. It can also keep you at a healthy weight. Doctors say that people who stay at a healthy weight have fewer health problems.
(4) Second, exercise can help your mind. People who get plenty of physical activity might worry less and sleep better at night. You may even learn better in school. Students who are healthy can listen and understand better in class.
(5) You can change your life and be more active at any point. It's never too late. An article called“How to Limit Screen Time and Get Moving”gives these ideas:
Step away from the screen. Doctors call watching TV or playing video games screen time. You should have no more than two hours of screen time a day. You will enjoy life more if you live it instead of watching it!
Start slowly. An hour a day can seem like a long time. Start with 10 minutes of new activities every day. Add more as you get stronger. Think about walking. Take the stairs instead of the lift. You will feel healthier.
Make fitness fun. Find a sport you like. It doesn't need to be the traditional sports of basketball, soccer, or baseball. Those are all great sports and if you like them, play them. However, you can also try hiking,skateboarding, or even rope jumping. If you enjoy the sport, you will do it.
Choose food carefully. Help your family shop for healthy food. Read the labels(标签),Look for healthy foods. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables. Stop buying soft drinks and junk foods. You will feel better if you eat right.
Exercise with others. Find a friend or family member to exercise or play with you. You will have more fun and it helps keep you responsible for going.

25、In one way, it is the “greatest” drone ever. In another, though, it is the opposite of what a drone should be. Drone should be very lazy. They don’t have to work. Only their sister should be busy pollinating (传授花粉) and producing honey. However, for this drone, pollination is the very reason fur its existence (存在).
The drone, in fact is an invention of Ejiro Miyako. Miyako is a scientist from Japan. Many people, including Miyako have been worried about the future of food industry. Pollinating insects, especially bees, are falling in number. As a result, some plants can’t get pollinated and there will be fewer plants for us to eat. Scientists have been working hard to increase the number of bees. Unfortunately, they have had little success. Perhaps, Miyako thinks, it is time to build some robot bees instead.
Miyako’s bee, in fact, does not look much like a bee. It is based on a quad-copter. Miyako has put some brush hair on it. The hair is covered in special glue. They are able to pick up and hold grains of pollen(花粉) until they brush up against something else.
At the moment, Miyako’s robot bee still needs help from human operators. That’s because it can’t see where its target (目标) are. In the next step, Miyako will install visual recognition (视觉识别) software on his bee. After that, the robot bee will be able to see by itself.
【1】In the first paragraph, the underlined “drone” refers to a kind of ________.
A. flower B. bee C. honey D. software
【2】Ejiro Miyako is worried that ________ in the future.
A. we may be short of food
B. natural bees may not produce honey
C. his robot bee can’t see
D. natural drones can’t pollinate plants

A. produce honey B. watch natural bees work
C. pollinate plants D. increase the number of natural bees
【4】Which of the following is a must for Ejiro Miyako’s invention?

C. Brush hair. D. Visual recognition software.
【5】According to the article, what will Ejiro Miyako do in the next step?
A. Produce more robot bees.
B. Fill his garden with robot bees.
C. Allow robots to pick up pollen.
D. Make his robot bees work independently.

Did you have to worry about these little things when you were my age?
