It was another day to jump rope in gym class. Lynn and Mike turned the long rope in big, slow circles. The whole class hurried to get in line to wait for their turn to jump. Millie stood at the back of the line and frowned.
Nick went first. He watched the rope and ran in at just the right time. Everyone counted. He made it all the way to 30 jumps. One after another, the kids watched the rope, ran in, and jumped. Then it was Millie’s turn. She watched the rope go around and around, but she didn’t move. She felt like everyone was looking at her.
Millie’s friends cheered. “Go, Millie, go!”
Millie’s face turned red. At last, she gave it a try, but she failed.
The truth was that Millie had been jumping rope at home every day. With a short rope, she could jump 100 times without missing. She just didn’t know how to run in and start jumping with a long rope. Since she was the only kid on her street, there was no one to help turn the long rope.
Just then, Ms Miles, the gym teacher, brought out a bunch of short jump ropes.
"Let's see how long each one of you can jump without missing," she said as she gave each student a short rope, "Ready, set. Go!"
Millie smiled for the first time ever in gym class. As she jumped, she sang rhymes quietly to herself.
After a while, Millie realized that everyone was cheering, "Go, Millie, go!"
She was the only one still jumping rope! The surprise almost made her miss a step, but she kept going. When at last she was too tired to go on, she stopped. The whole class cheered.

In America, many teenagers have a part-time job. A part-time job is one that you do a few hours each week to make money. Do you have a part-time job?
Teens can have many different kinds of part-time jobs. Some teens work in a grocery(杂货) store bagging groceries. Others may work in other local business such as the clothes store or drag store. You may have friends who work in a fast food restaurant. They may make the food, or keep the restaurant clean. Many teens make extra money by baby-sitting younger children in the neighborhood. Some teens even have their own business. They cut grass and take care of pets in their neighborhoods while other people are on vacation.
Most teens who have part-time jobs work only a few hours after school, maybe two or three times a week. They often have to work all day on Saturday.
Having a part-time job has many advantages. The job teaches you new skills that you can use as an adult. The job also teaches you responsibility(责任). The person who paid you for the job expects you to be there when you are supposed to and to do your job well. The job also pays you money that you can use for many different things. Your family might need the money to help with the family budget(预算). If you're lucky, you could use the money to buy music and videos. You might want to save the money to buy a new bicycle or maybe even a car.
In some families, teens have part-time jobs to help make money to go to college. Going to college is very expensive. Many parents cannot pay for their child's education without help from the child. In some families, at least half of what a teen makes at a part-time job goes into a college savings account(账户). The teen can spend the rest of the money on what he or she needs or wants.
Many teenagers have part-time jobs and still have time for their friends and families. Many still belong to clubs at school and even have time to play sports. If you have a part-time job，you need to have a good plan to help you do everything you want and have to do. Do your homework and chores as soon as you can. Don't let the work wait and pile up(堆积). Make sure you get to your job on time. Do the things that are most important to you. Spend time with the people you care about most.

In 2004, three young men went to a dinner party in San Francisco. Afterward(过后),they wanted to share(分享) a video from the party with their friends. They wanted to send it over the Internet. But at the time, the process(过程) of sharing videos that way was difficult. Using e-mail did not work and the friends complained that there, was no website to help them. So they created their own. They called their website YouTube. It made sharing videos easy, so the website soon became very popular. People watched 2.500 million videos in the first six months!
Today, more than 70,000 new videos go up on YouTube each day. People watch more than 1,000 million videos a day. Many last no more than 10 minutes. These videos show all kinds of things, from sleeping cats to earthquakes. Most of the filmmakers are not professionals. They are just everyday people making videos, and they use the website in many interesting ways.
First many people use YouTube to entertain others. One example is Judson Laipply. He made a funny dance video and put it on YouTube in 2006. People watched the video more than 10 million times in the first two weeks. Now people stop Judson on the street to ask, "Are you the dance guy on Youtube?" Some people have invited him to dance at their parties. A few women even asked to marry him. Judson wants to make more dance videos, and people look forward to seeing them.
Other people use YouTube to advertise a business. David Taub does this. He is a guitar teacher and he sells videos of guitar lessons on his own website. He wanted to increase his business, so he put short videos with free lessons on YouTube. People enjoyed watching the lessons on YouTube, and afterward, many decided to go to David’s own website. Now David sells hundreds of guitar lesson videos each week.
People also use YouTube to help others. Ryan Fitzgerald is one example. Ryan is friendly young man who knows that some people are lonely and have no one to talk to. One day, he made a video of himself for YouTube. In the video, he gave his phone number and invited people to call him. In less than a week, he had more than 5,000 calls and messages from all over the world. These days, he is very busy talking on the phone. He helps people when he can, but mostly, he just listens, like a friend.
Finally, some filmmakers use YouTube in a more serious way. They want to inform people about important events happening in the world. For example, they show clips(片段)of videos from countries at war, or they show people in need of help after a storm. Sometimes TV news shows do not give enough information about these events. Thanks to YouTube filmmakers, people can go to their computers and learn more.
For many people, YouTube is more than just another website to visit. It is a way to communicate with others. More and more people are using it every day, and they will probably find even more ways to use it.From the first paragraph of the passage, we know three young men _______.

Liu Xu was robbed(抢劫)! The 13-year-old was riding home when a man jumped out from the road-side. He pulled Liu off his bike and rode away. Liu was scared, but he didn’t run after the robber. He found a telephone and called the police at 110.
“Safety is the first in such a situation,” Liu said, remembering what his teacher had told him in his aid class. “It’s not safe to run after an adult who is much stronger than you.”
Liu is a student at Shenzhen Bao’an Middle School in Guangdong. His school is one of the first in China to have required first aid education. Grade 1 students must take the class once a week.
Teenage safety has become a serious problem recently. According to a recent survey, about 16,000 teenagers die in accidents in China every year. An average(平均) of 40 students die every day from drowning(溺水), food poisoning(中毒) and traffic accidents.
Bao’an School said that the first aid classes are to “teach students skills so that they can keep themselves safe and save themselves from danger.”
Students at Bao’an often learn by role(角色)-playing in first aid classes.
Zhou Min, 12, remembered her favorite lesson. “I performed as a stranger knocking at a door. A classmate stood inside the door and asked several questions before letting me in. Then we changed roles and did it again,” Zhou said. “We learned a lot while having fun at role-playing.”
The topics of the class are regularly changed. The students have learned skills for lifesaving in earthquakes. They also deal with topics like sexual harassment(骚扰).
“The teacher told us girls that we should try not to go out alone, especially at night. If someone tries to do bad things to us, we may hit their eyes or noses or kick their deadly parts. Then we should quickly run into a crowded place,” said Zhong Hua, a 13-year-old girl.
From the first paragraph of the passage, we know _______.
| A．the robber was of medium height |
| B．Liu Xu was robbed on his way home |
| C．the robber ran away when he saw the policeman |
| D．Liu Xu jumped off his bike and called the police at once |
Why didn't Liu Xu run after the robber when his bike was taken away from him?
| A．Because the robber rode away too fast |
| B．Because he was too scared to run in such a situation. |
| C．Because the robber looked much stronger than an adult. |
| D．Because he remembered what he had learned in his first aid class. |
The purpose of the first aid classes is to ______.
| A．make Grade 1 students take the class once a week |
| B．help the 40 students to solve their safety problems |
| C．complete the required art education in the middle school |
| D．teach the teenagers how to keep themselves safe from danger |

| B．where they have their first aid classes |
| C．what they don't often do in her classes |
| D．who taught them role-playing in her classes |
