I can still remember the day I met my best friend Judy. She had just moved into the neighborhood and her grandmother brought her down to meet me. I hid behind my mother and she hid behind her grandmother,scared to look at each other. Soon we lost the shyness and started playing with each other.
In the 7th grade ,I first lost touch with her. She was going through family problems and I deserted her to be with the cooler people. None of my new friends liked her as much as I did because they knew she had problems. However, every summer we would always sit at each other’s house, watch soap operas and talk about all the boys we like.
It was last year when I noticed the problem. I guess I was too doveted in high school to realizeshe needed someone there. Anyway ,she made a new best friend and so did I. Then I didn’t know why, but she started cutting herself!
She then was diagnosed(诊断）with clinical depression(抑郁症）.At first, I was very upset, but we still stayed in touch. I wanted to be there with new her best friend basically deserted her and people were calling her crazy.
Yesterday she came to me and said,“I never knew what a best friend was until you, the only person, would stop me cutting. I appreciate your help so much, and you didn’t even know you were helping me.”
We both cried. And I guess a kind of lesson from my life so far is never to give up on your friends. Even if they aren’t as cool as others, or people think they are crazy, they need someone there. If you desert them, you will only be guilty yourself.The write and Judy both behind because they felt when they met for the first time.

A student newspaper reports that most students go to sleep at 1:30 am. Even if that’s an overstatement (夸张), it’s close to the truth. Scientists say teens should sleep nine hours each night. But that’s hard. Some are even “pulling all-nighters” (开夜车). These students must hand in their homework the next day but they haven’t done it. In the morning they don’t look healthy and you can tell who’s been doing it. One of my classmates did a survey on the topic. She found that most kids pull all-nighters to finish homework, but some do it for other reasons, such as playing computer games!
Maybe our lack(缺乏) of sleep is because of laziness — I think I’m a rather lazy student — or maybe it’s because we have too much to do in American high schools. I usually go to bed around midnight. If I stayed up past 1:30 am, I wouldn’t get any work done. I’d be falling asleep at my computer. My classes begin at 7:30 am. I’m partly awake in my first class. By the second, I’m a little sleepy. By my third class, I’m sleepy. By midday I’m finally fully awake. But by 3:00 pm, I’m slowing down again. Yet I get more sleep than usual students.
Most American high schools seem to have a similar(相似的) problem with sleepy students. High school classes start at 7:30 am, so students have to get up one and a half hours before that to get ready and catch the bus. It’s believed that lack of sleep can be bad for both grades and health. Some schools are paying attention. Classes in those schools start at 8:30 am. What does the underlined sentence “it’s close to the truth” mean?
| A．It doesn’t tell the truth. | B．It is quite true. |
| C．It is impossible. | D．I don’t think it’s right. |
Why do most of the teens have to stay up late?
| A．They play computer games. | B．They watch videos late. |
| C．They have to do a lot of housework. | D．They have to do a lot of homework. |
When do students in most American high schools have to get up?
| A．At 7:30 am. | B．At 6:00 am. | C．At 9:00 am. | D．At about 7:00 am. |
Which of the following is TRUE according to the reading?
| A．The writer usually stays up past 1:30 am. |
| B．The writer usually goes to bed around midnight. |
| C．The writer usually does a survey. |
| D．Many American students don’t get enough sleep, so they can have high grades. |
What’s the main idea of the passage?
| A．Something has to be done to solve the problem of students’ lack of sleep. |
| B．Many American high school students are sleepy in class. |
| C．Many kids have too much homework to do. |
| D．Students can’t play computer games. |
Rita stepped into the cool, moving water. She pushed a black inner tube(内胎) in front of her. She had a worried look on her face because she had never floated down a river before.
“Let me hold your tube while you climb on,” said her father. He smiled at her. “There’s not a cloud in the sky. It’s a great day to be in the river, isn’t it?”
