Mr．Ma，a famous mental （心理的） doctor from Beijing once said at an important meeting，"Now many young students can have many problems with their minds．Some students become worried because they have to study very hard．Others have trouble getting on well with people around them like their parents and classmates．Parents and teachers should care more about this problem．"
Then Mr．Ma gave some examples．One patient，a middle school student from Xi'an was doing badly in his lessons．He thought his teachers and friends often laughed at him，and he became so nervous and worried that one night he left his home without telling parents．Another student，a 14﹣year﹣old schoolgirl from Shanghai，was very afraid of exams．While she was reading the exam paper，she couldn't think of anything to write．
A recent report from Jie fang Daily says about 18% of the young students in Shanghai have mental problems．They often feel worried and very unhappy．Unluckily，many of them won't go and ask for help．Some think they will look stupid if they go to see a doctor．Others won't talk about their own secrets （秘密）．
At the end of the meeting，Mr．Ma offered some good ideas to young people：

No one knows exactly when jazz was invented, or by whom. But it is said that it began in the early 1900s.
Jazz was a new kind of music, for America and the world, and New Orleans was its birthplace.
Who were the jazz pioneers? Most were blacks. This music was not written down, and at first only blacks played it. It was hard for white musicians to learn the new style. But soon they, too, were playing jazz.
The popularity of this music spread. From New Orleans, it traveled up the Mississippi to Chicago, then to Kansas City and New York. By the 1920s, there were many jazz musicians, both black and white. Many of them were famous. One man was better than the rest. His name was Louis Armstrong.
Louis Armstrong was a born musician. He was not only talented but also hard-working. He also had a good sense of humor and a big, good-natured smile. These personal qualities were valuable in his rise to fame. After he became famous, he traveled around the world. It seemed that everyone wanted to hear Louis play. But life was not always easy, especially at the beginning.
Louis Armstrong was born in 1900 in New Orleans. His father never went to school and his mother could hardly read. When Louis was still a kid, his parents separated, and Louis lived with his mother. How hard their life was can readily be imagined. And yet Louis smiled through everything. He later wrote, “My whole life has been happiness. Life was there for me and I accepted it.

There is an unusual holiday in the US that falls on the fourth Thursday of April every year. It is very different from Christmas, Thanksgiving, or other well-known holidays. It is called Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day. This holiday is meant to be educational as well as fun. The idea is simple, and the name says it all. It is a day for working parents to show their kids what they do all day.
Although this holiday doesn’t seem very complex(复杂的), it has meaningful purposes. There are many
good reasons why a child should know what his or her parents do at work. For one thing, it is hard for children to understand the life of an adult when all they know is school. Therefore, this holiday helps children learn what it means to have a job. It also helps them learn about the differences and similarities between their world and the grown-up world. When young people know more about their parents’ lives, they can form stronger parent-child relationships. This alone is worth a day of celebration.This year’s Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day falls on _____ .
The underlined part in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to ___ .
| A．every holiday needs a name |
| B．the name says it is known to all |
| C．the name explains the idea clearly |
| D．it is very different from Christmas |
The writer thinks the holiday is ____.
| A．usual | B．simple | C．complex | D．meaningful |
Do you still remember the great snacks in your childhood? Do they remind you of your happy childhood?
Sugar Figure（糖人）
In the old days, you could always find people making sugar figures at the school gate. First, the maker would take a little maltose(麦芽糖）with a small spoon, using
his hands to make a figure, such as the Monkey King, the White Dragonet, and so on. It was not expensive, only 1 yuan for one. If one child bought a sugar figure, many other children would crowd around and admire it.
Dada Bubble Gum（泡泡糖）
Almost every kid is fond of bubble gum. They often gather together to see who gets the largest bubble. I still remember my cousin once blew a big bubble and then it broke, covering her face with gum! It was cheap. I could get 2 for 1 yuan.
Baby Face Ice Cream
We prefer to call it snowman ice cream. It tastes very delicious. It was rather
expensive; I remember the price was 2 yuan for each piece, which was not easy for me to buy them those days. Each time I got one, the happiness would last for several days.
Malt Sugar Candy
Malt Sugar Candy is usually called Tangguar in northern China, and is offered during the days just before the Spring Festival. It’s delicious but cheap, and you could get five pieces for 1 yuan.

Parents can be very important teachers in our lives. However, they are not always the best teachers. Parents may be too close to their children emotionally (感情上). Sometimes they can only see their children through the eyes of a protector. For example, a teacher might see a trip to a big city as a valuable experience. However, it might seem too dangerous to a parent.
Another problem is that parents may expect their children’s interests to be similar to their own. If they love science, they may try to force (强迫) their child to love science too. But what if (要是……又怎样) their child’s true love is art, or writing, or car repair?
