21、How to Have a Successful Teenage Life
Everyone wants to succeed in their life, don’t they? Even as a teenager, you can achieve success in your life; it really isn’t that hard. 【1】
Do well in school.
No matter how boring it is now, education will help you be a productive member in society. Try your best for excellence in school: listen to the teachers, do your homework, study and get good grades. Doing so will help you get into a better university, which will enable you to have a bright future. 【2】
Do good in your community.
Volunteering can not only improve your community’s status, but also make you happier. Studies show that people who volunteer are less likely to develop depression (抑郁) than people who don’t. 【3】. For example, if you love animals, volunteer at an animal shelter. If you love helping the environment, plant trees or pick up litter. When you help others, it will make you feel better about yourself.
【4】
Remember, they’re there to help you be the best that you can be. Respect them and value their opinions, even if they annoy you sometimes. 【5】You don’t get to choose your teachers or your family, but you still have to put up with them. Learn how to deal with people now, because when you’re an adult, you don’t get to choose your boss or your co-workers, so learn how to respect them now.
A．Live life to the fullest.
B．School sets you up on the right track!
C．Be nice to your parents and teachers.
D．Find chances to do volunteer work that interests you.
E．It will help you pass time and develop your personality.

22、 Anyone who believes that teenagers no longer read has it all wrong, according to Christi Showman Farrar at the Woburn Public Library. She said because reading is a lonely activity, adults don’t always realize that teens do enjoy it.
“Teens have so much going on today between all of the out-of-class activities that it may seem like they aren’t reading,” said Showman Farrar. “But they do manage to read. We just don’t see them at home.”
Showman Farrar runs the summer reading program at the library and said there are 85 readers this summer. “So far they have logged 1,200 hours of reading,” she said. “Last year I challenged them to read 1,000 hours and if they did I would dye(染) my hair pink. I still think there is some pink in my hair.
Teens are allowed to read anything they want. A popular book series like Harry Porter or Twilight certainly gets kids and teens reading. As long as she can get what teens are interested in in their hands, they’ll read. “I truly think there is something out there for everyone,” said Showman Farrar. “Adults define(定义) reading as sitting down and reading a novel, but that doesn’t interest everyone.”
“So much of teen life in online and teens have become used to reading online,” she said. “I think the best way to get people to read newspapers would be to cover events that they are interested in.”
Nicole Gariepy, a junior, said she likes to read a newspaper if it includes more articles about things she is involved with. She enjoys reading fiction books, or anything with a good story. “I probably read about 10 hours a week,” she said. “I like reading because it gets you thinking a lot about other ideas and it’s another way to learn.”
Mikayla Essigmann, another teen volunteer at the library, said, “I like everything. Reading is a good way to pass time.”
【1】From the passage, we learn that ___________.
A．teens don’t read any more today.
B．teens should do reading in the libraries.
C．adults always like reading fiction books.
D．adults have a wrong opinion about teen.
【2】The underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 suggests that ____________.
A．Farrar likes pink hair rather than other color.
B．Farrar was satisfied to dye her hair pink.
C．Farrar regrets dying her hair pink.
D．Farrar was glad that teen finished reading 1,000 hours.
【3】Why is reading important to Nicole Gariepy?
A．Because it is a good way to kill time.
B．Because she can learn many other ideas.
C．Because it prepares her to write good stories.
D．Because she likes spending time reading online.
23、Growing up in the South Central neighborhood of Los Angeles in the 1970s, Ghuan Featherstone only remembers riding a horse with his parents at a nearby park when he was eight years old.
But ever since, he’s been chasing that sense of freedom and power he felt on the horse that day. “I felt like I could conquer (征服) anything,” Featherstone, now 51, said in a Story Corps interview last month with Jordan Humphreys, a 13-year-old horseback rider. After serving in the Army for eight years, Featherstone remained determined to realize his childhood dream of becoming a cowboy.
When he returned to Los Angeles, he learned to ride at stables (马厩，马训场) known as “The Hill” in Compton. Riders there would jump on their horse backs and take their horses into the city streets. In 2012, a fire burned down The Hill. What had become a shelter for youth was suddenly gone. Sensing the void (空缺) after the fire, Featherstone opened his own stables, Urban Saddles, in 2019 to create a space where he could teach kids like Humphreys to care for and ride horses.
As a black man, Featherstone is against prejudice. People of color are often prevented from pop culture and historical representations of the cowboy. His stable has helped keep the cowboy lifestyle alive in the streets. “Riding through the streets on horseback has given me a way to connect with others in the community,” said Humphreys. “It makes them happy seeing us on a horse and then they may be smiling, and I believe that when we come through, we give them a sense of hope.” he added.
If there’s one lesson Featherstone hopes to convey to kids, it’s a respect for all life. “We’re respecting the animals and we’re respecting each other,” he said.
【1】What made Featherstone want to become a cowboy?
A．His childhood riding experience.
B．The duty of saving the world.
C．The serving years in the army.
D．His love to his parents.
【2】What is mainly talked about in paragraph 3?
A．The life of being a cowboy.
B．The dream of being a cowboy.
C．The course of opening Urban Saddles.
D．The place of teaching kids like Humphreys.
【3】What’s Featherstone’s real purpose of opening his own stables?
A．To teach the black kids to ride horses.
B．To help the kids to learn to respect all life.
C．To make money by teaching the kids to ride.
D．To train the cowboys to become more hopeful.
【4】Which of the following words may best describe Fetherstone?
A．Smart but careless.
B．Diligent and kind-hearted.
C．Slow but productive.
D．Determined and broad-minded.
24、 We have to make certain our limited money is well spent. But what should we spend our money on? A 20-year study conducted by Dr. Gilovich, a professor at Cormell University, reached a powerful and direct conclusion: don’t spend your money on things.
The trouble with things is that the happiness they provide peters out. We get used to new belongings, and what once seemed exciting quickly becomes normal. We keep raising the bar and always look for an even better one. Belongings, by their nature, cause comparisons. We buy a new car and are thrilled with it until a friend buys a better one—and there’s always someone with a better one. Most of us usually assume that the happiness we get from buying something will last as long as the thing itself. It seems intuitive(直觉的) that spending money on something we can see, hear, and touch on a lasting basis delivers the best value. But it’s not the case at all.
Gilovich has found that experiences deliver more-lasting happiness than things. Experiences become a part of our identity. Everyone’s experience is unique. We are not our belongings, but we are the total of everything we’ve seen, the things we’ve done, and the places we’ve been to. “Our experiences are a bigger part of ourselves than our material goods,” said Gilovich. “You can really like your material goods. You can even think that part of your identity is connected to those things, but they remain separate from you. In contrast, your experiences really are part of you. We are the sum total of our experiences.”
Besides, we don’t compare experiences in the same way that we compare things. It’s hard to measure the relative value of any two experiences, which makes them that much more enjoyable. And expectation of an experience causes excitement and enjoyment, while expectation of acquiring some goods causes impatience. Experiences are enjoyable from the very first moments of planning, all the way through to the memories you keep. The temporary happiness achieved by buying things can be regarded as “puddles(水坑) of pleasure.” In other words, that kind of happiness dies away and leaves us wanting more. Things may last longer than experiences, but the memories that remain are what matter most.
【1】Which one can replace the underlined phrase “peters out” ?
A.is too little B.disappears slowly C.is not real D.costs too much
【2】What does Gilovich think of experiences?
A.Experiences deliver less-lasting happiness than things.
B.Experiences can exist in our memory forever.
C.We are only a part of our experiences.
D.Our experiences are what separate us from others.
【3】What can be inferred from the passage?
A.Experiences can be compared with each other.
B.Expecting an experience increases our feeling of anxiety.
C.People are more likely to be impatient when buying things.
D.Spiritual wealth is the most valuable for us.
【4】Which is the main idea of the passage?
A.How can we gain happiness with money?
B.How can we make happiness last long?
C.Why should we spend money on experiences instead of things?
D.Why do experiences achieve more lasting happiness than things?
