It's the age when we have to deal with the most 16 in our life. This transition (shift) from childhood to adulthood is 17 for some, but rough for others. The most important thing about being a teenager is 18 . When we are teenagers, we would get blamed or even punished for anything wrong we do. Unlike before when we were small kids, even if we made a big trouble, we didnt need to pay anything for it.Its all not so bad about being a teenager, though. We dont have to have our parents take us to somewhere we want to go or we couldnt go before. We can have 19 with friends or even alone, which we couldnt have because we were too young to know what pleasure is! It's a very enjoyable time of life. During this age, we are old enough to 20 what is good for us, and make decisions by ourselves without 21 others.But like the saying goes All good things must come to an end, but all bad things can continue 22 .” During this period, we are having much 23 for our studies. If we don't pass, we wont get jobs, and things will take a turn for the worse. With the present world economy in _24 , we have to do really, really well in our education for a job. Adults say that their age is the hardest part of life. But I think the transition from a kid to an adult is much harder than being already an adult. What we do in our teenage years will 25 what we become and how we lead our life in the future.In conclusion, it is quite 26 that parents put much pressure on an already stressed out teenager. If they realized that, living condition for teenagers would be much better.Thus, for the teens ourselves we should get to know what is best for us. What's more, we should understand the right 27 of life we choose at this age can make us happy for the rest of our existence.16. A. chancesB. changesC. feelingsD. expectations17.

There is an answer to all these questions Leonardo da Vinci. Leonardo may have been the greatest genius 30 have ever known.

Of course, he couldnt 32 a helicopter with the things he had. But 33 said his idea would have worked. But Leonardo wasnt just an inventor. He was one of the 34 artists of his day.

The character is a crocodile hunter, thus the nickname.In the first film, Crocodile Dundee, Mick is visited by a New York reporter, Sue Charlton, who travels to Australia to investigate a report she heard of a crocodile hunter, who had his leg bitten off by a crocodile in the outback. The hunter supposedly walked more than a hundred miles back to civilization and miraculously survived his injuries. However, by the time she meets him, the story turns out to be a somewhat exaggerated legend where the “bitten-off leg” turns out to be just being some bad scarring on his leg; a “love bite” as Mick calls it. Still intrigued by the idea of “Crocodile Dundee”, Sue continues with the story. They travel together out to where the incident occurred, and follow his route through the bush to the nearest hospital. Despite his old-fashioned views, the pair eventually become close, especially after Mick saves Sue from a crocodile attack. Feeling there is still more to the story, Sue invites Mick back to New York with her, as his first trip to a city (or “first trip anywhere,” as Dundee says). The rest of the film depicts（describes）Dundee as a “fish out of water,” showing how, despite his expert knowledge of living outdoors, he knows little of city life. Mick meets Sues boyfriend, Richard, but they do not get along. By the end of the film, Mick is on his way home, lovesick, when Sue realizes she loves Mick, too, and not Richard. She runs to the subway station to stop Mick from leaving and, by passing on messages through the packed-to-the-gills crowd, she tells him she wont marry Richard, and she loves him instead. With the help of the other people in the subway, Mick and Sue have a loving reunion as the film ends.36. In the film Crocodile Dundee, Mick _.A. pretends he was bitten by a crocodileB. urges Sue Charlton to write his life storyC. shows Sue Charlton around the town he lives inD. hasnt been abroad before his trip to America37. The underlined word “intrigued” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _.A. annoyedB. troubled C. interestedD. surprised38. When in New York, Mick _.A. makes friends with RichardB. doesnt know how to fit into city lifeC. feels excited about living in a big cityC. makes full use of his bush skills39. The film Crocodile Dundee can be best described as _.A. a romantic storyB. an action movieC. a science fictionD. a frightening story BGetting sick overseas can be scary. Youre in an unfamiliar place and often dont speak the language. Although each trip is different, there are universal things you can do to keep safe.Be prepared. “Schedule a visit with a doctor who specializes in travel or the area youre visiting at least four weeks before your departure,” says WHO public health expert Dr. Gilles Poumerol. A travel doctor will be able to give you the required and recommended vaccinations(接种疫苗) as well as discuss any medical issues you may come across abroad.Get insurance. “In many countries where you have limited access to health care, good health care is only found in the private sector and can be very expensive,” Dr. Poumerol says. Plus, in an emergency, returning to the United States can cost more than $50,000. Ask your health insurance company whether your policy applies overseas and whether it will cover trips to a foreign hospital. If not, there are many companies that offer short-term travel health insurance for a reasonable fee. A list can be found on the US State Departments travel website. Pack well. Dr. Poumerol also suggests bringing a note from your doctor in English and the language of the country youre visiting. Packing an emergency contact list is important. Contacts should include the local embassy, relatives who should be informed if you get sick and your health insurance company.Take care. You have to be in charge of your health. If youre being treated abroad, question the medical staff about their sterilization(杀菌) practices; injection equipment should be put in boiling water for at least 30 minutes or used only once. Also be sure that doctors and nurses are wearing gloves to prevent fluid transfer. Limiting your alcohol intake will keep you focused on your safety. If your common sense is perfect, the rest of your body should follow.40. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. You must receive some vaccinations after going abroad.B. Alcohol intake will keep you focused on your safety.C. You should employ a travel doctor who travels with you.D. Its a terrible thing to get sick in a strange country.41. According to the passage, you can visit the US State Departments travel website to find_.A. which companies offer short-term travel health insuranceB. how to get back to the United States when you illC. whether your policy applies overseas or notD. good health care which cover trips42. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Health care provided abroad can be unreliable.B. You shouldnt eat much when you stay abroad.C. Injection equipment should be used only once.D. You have to treat yourself when you are ill.43. What is the best title for this passage?A. How to get insurance abroadB. Tips for keeping safe overseasC. Get ready for your tripD. Avoid dangerous travels C Q: On Facebook, my friends are a mix of real-life pals, former classmates, professional colleagues, extended-family members, and my mom. Mom is the first to like and comment on everything I post, which is annoying. I tried talking to her about it, but her feelings quickly got hurt, so I backed off. I know I cant block her, but now I dont want to post anything. How do I handle this?A: This is about Facebook, not your mom. The often-shrugged-off truth about social media is that nothing is private. Its easy to forget this, so in a way, youre lucky that your mom is reminding you. Everything you postcomments, likes, photosis freely available to future friends, employers, lovers etc unless blocked. That said, you can ask Mom again nicely to tone it down. You can also customize(adapt) your controls so she cant see everything you post.Q: In which situations am I required to make a phone call versus send a text message?A: A text is for informationtime, date, news. Its for the stuff you can keep short and sweet. A phone call is for analysis, discussion, opinion, and, if you must, gossip.Q: Im always on Facebook, so I just send messages to friends through the site. But when should I log off and send an e-mail?A: When youre serious about anything. Think of it as chatting with someone on a bus versus asking her to meet you for coffee. The former is good for casual conversation; the latter is personal and requires attention.Q: For which occasions should I mail paper invitations versus send e-mail ones? (E-cards are free and easywhats not to love?!)A: Anything important needs a paper invitation. Thats your baseline. So ask yourself: “Do I want people to dress up for this event?” If the answer is yes, dress up your invitation by making it printed instead of virtual. For more casual events and gatherings, e-card away.Q: Is using emoticons ever inappropriate to express a feeling or make a point in texts or e-mails?A: Emoticons are for fun. Is the message youre writing fun? Use an emoticon. Are you asking for a big favor? Skip it. Is the message to your boss or a colleague? Skip it. Avoid them if you want to be taken seriously about anything.Q: I have a big, happy announcement to share with a lot of people. Is it appropriate to share it on my blog?A: Yes, so you don
