While contact between adolescents (between the ages of fifteen and nineteen) and their peers (同龄人) is a universal characteristic of all cultures, the nature and the degree of such contact vary a great deal. In American contemporary society, adolescents spend much more time with their peers than with younger children or adults.
This pattern of age segregation(隔离) in American society did not become usual until the beginning of the industrialized society. Changes in the workplace separated children from adults, with adults working and children attending school. The dramatic increase of mothers in the workplace has further contributed to the reduction in the amount of time adolescents spend with adults. School reform efforts during the nineteenth century, which resulted in age-segregated schools and grades, have reduced the amount of time adolescents spend with younger children. Finally, the changes in population are considered a factor that may have contributed to the emergence of adolescent peer culture. From 1955 t0 1975, the adolescent population increased dramatically, from 11 percent t0 20.9 percent. This increase in the number of adolescents might be a contributing factor to the increase in adolescent peer culture in terms of growth in size.
Research supports the view that adolescents spend a great deal of time with their peers. Reed Larson and his colleagues examined adolescents' daily activities and found that they spend more time talking to their friends than engaging in any other activity. In a typical week, high school students will spend twice as much time with their peers as with adults. This gradual withdrawal from adults begins in early adolescence. In sixth grade, adults (excluding parents) account for only 25 percent of adolescent social networks. Another important characteristic of adolescent peer culture is its increasingly autonomous (白治的) function. While childhood peer groups are conducted under the close supervision of parents, adolescent peer groups typically make an effort to escape adult supervision and usually succeed in doing so.
(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS.)"This pattern of age segregation" refers to the phenomenon that adolescents segregate themselves from
Besides changes in the workplace, are the other two factors contributing to adolescent peer culture.
When do adolescents start to spend less time with adults?
How do adolescent peer groups differ from childhood peer groups?

[1] People of all ages and races can serve as volunteers. They work in various organizations without pay. Volunteering improves your life and the lives of others. You can meet new people and make a positive difference in the world.
[2] Volunteers generally work with others either as part of a team completing a project or caring for other people such as patients in a nursing home or helping children through an organization such as Big Brothers, Big Sisters. Volunteers should be generally cheerful and easy to work with and have a positive attitude even if things are not satisfactory in their own lives.
[3] Some volunteers organize events or groups of people to work on various projects. Without their good organizational skills, these projects might not happen. For example, if you’re the Parent-Teacher Association President for your school, you will be responsible for organizing the individual committees in your school. If you have good organizational skills, volunteering will become less stressful and you can give back to your community in the way you intended.
[4] Volunteers have to be willing to devote a certain amount of hours each week or month depending on the situation. It is necessary for them to go through testing or training before they begin volunteering. The best volunteers do what they say they’re going to do and show up when they say they’re going to be there unless there are situations beyond their control.
[5] Good volunteers see the good in others, whether it’s the people they’re working with or the people they’re serving. These volunteers generally go beyond what they’re asked to do because they want to get to know the people they’re serving.

One morning in 2007．Parthasarathy---we usually called him Partha．---came to meet me．He was disabled and was not an engineer but had majored in a computer course in college．I told Partha，“I’d like to employ people like you．”In fact，it turned out to be the right decision to employ him．Partha had an amazing enthusiasm and his disability did not stop him from improving himself．I was not doing any charity by employing him because my company benefited more from Partha．I have realized that physically challenged people are more faithful than others but unfortunately we usually pay scant attention to them．
At that time our office was on the first floor and Partha had difnculty dealing with the stairs．Seeing him struggle．I decided to make the entire office disabled-friendly．Our ground floor is now intended for the disabled people, and we have special toilets for them．We have also built houses for them near the office so that they can avoid long travelling hours．
After meeting Partha，I decided to hire more disabled people．We waited six months to get another disabled person who then became our receptionist．
I don’t regard employing disabled people as charity．I consider it my responsibility．The country has spent much money educating me and I feel it is time for me to do something as a reward．
It is great to work with them．Seeing them work, get married, settle in life and have children is a wonderful experience．
We have 550 employees now, and 20 percent of them are disabled．We go to Engineering Colleges looking for disabled people but onty to find one or two in each college．Parents don’t send them out．The biggest challenge for the physically disabled is the attitude of their parents，but we hire them even if they are not engineers．What kind of person was Partha?(No more than 10 words)

[1] Everyone knows how to spend money, but not many people know how to spend it wisely. When you learn to spend wisely, you are learning the art of saving money.
[2] Spending money wisely does not mean buying cheap goods. A pair of shoes that costs two hundred dollars is probably better than a pair of shoes that costs twenty dollars. How do you know which pair of shoes is better? For one thing, you can consider how long the shoes are going to last. If the pair of twohundreddollar shoes can last (for) five years，the average cost of the shoes per year is just forty dollars. Besides, the pair of shoes that costs two hundred dollars will be more comfortable than cheaper shoes. The pair of cheaper shoes may last only a few months and cause your legs to suffer. Why should you spend money buying pain and suffering? However, some shoes that last a very long time are very cheap. If you can find this kind of shoes, you are getting very good value for your money.
[3] When you spend money on junk food, you are using your money to buy sickness and early death. No matter how much the cost of the meal is, spending money on junk food is foolish. You will spend more money on medical services later on in life. Investing (投资) in your health means you can save money on medical costs. Many people, who live more than a hundred years old, live happily in the pink. They seldom suffer from serious illnesses. They are the ones who invest in their health and save money on medical costs.
[4] When you can treat any spending as an investment, that means you are spending money wisely. It will produce returns for you in the future. Whenever you need to buy something, please ask the question, “Is this an investment or just spending？”What's mainly talked about in the text? (within 6 words)

As we enjoy the summer ocean waves along the beaches，we may think nervously about Steven Spielberg’s Jaws and the great fear that sharks inspire in us．Yet we are happy to see global efforts to protect the declining number of sharks．The world has realized that we need the species，like sharks, to keep a balanced ecosystem．
Sharks，in particular，are“in’’these days．Thanks to good public policy and famous stars such as Jackie Chan and Ang Lee，killing sharks for fin soup is no longer cool．
The demand for shark fins has been rising for decades，threatening sharks with extinction(灭绝)-up to 100 million sharks are killed each year just for their fins．But we have started to reverse the trend，particularly in many areas of the United States and overseas where restaurants once proudly provided delicious shark fins on the menu．
In California，a ban on the sale and possession of shark fin soup has gone into effect this year through the efforts of Wild Aid and other organizations.
Overseas marketing and public efforts featuring posters on public transportation systems and TV ads have been underway for the past few years．These efforts all show signs of success, on both the supply side and the demand side of trade in shark fins．
Actually，stopping the killing of sharks is part of a broader movement to stop the killing of wild animals and the buying and selling of wildlife products．These products come from hunting elephants, tigers and rhinos，besides killing marine life．
Whether it is shark fin soup or ivory piano keys，killing animals is big business．The hunting of elephants in search of ivory tusks for luxury(奢侈的)goods has become a fall-scale war．The decrease of African elephant populations is alarming. Together with international partners, the United States is leading the worldwide effort to reduce demand for high-end products that rely on killing animals．Why do people begin to make efforts to protect the declining number of sharks?

Poverty today is a major global issue. Although there are all kinds of definitions used to explain it, in simple words, it means the inability of a person to even get his basic needs of food, shelter, clothing, safe drinking water, health and education. Poverty can be found in each and every corner of the world, although the causes may differ from country to country. Given below are the main causes of poverty in the world today.
Overpopulation is one of the main causes behind the threatening of poverty on an individual level as well as a social level. This is simple math: If there are more mouths to feed and less income, definitely much will remain poor.
Another theory which is used as an explanation for poverty is lack of education. If you look at any of the underdeveloped countries, you will find that the level of education there is very low. Lack of education means lack of employment opportunities, thus leading to unemployment coupled with poverty in the future.
Moving away from one’s own homeland to another city or country in search of employment leads to poverty too. It may take these people a lot of time to find jobs. Meanwhile, they live in bad conditions. The cost of living in the city or country is most of the time too high for them.
There may be other causes of poverty like the change in business. For example, in America, a couple of decades ago, heavy industry flourished ,which employed a lot of African-American people. But now, the focus is more on information technology and health care, both of which employ only skilled and trained people. This has led to unemployment among African-Americans.
Poverty has many ill effects on society. That’s why steps should be taken to get rid of it!What’s the meaning of the underlined word “flourished” in Paragraph 5?(No more than 5words)

[1]Perhaps you are an average student with average intelligence. However, you can receive better grades if you want. Yes, even students with average intelligence can be top students without additional work. Here’s how:
[2]Plan your time carefully. Make a list of your weekly tasks. Then make a schedule of your time. Be sure to set aside enough time to complete your normal reading and work assignments. Of course, studying shouldn’t occupy all of the free time on the schedule.
[3]Make good use of your time in class. Listening to what the teacher says in class means less work later. Take notes to help you remember what the teacher says.
[4]Skim before you read. Look over a passage quickly before you begin to read it more carefully. As you preview the material, you get some idea of the content and how it is organized. Later when you begin to read you will recognize less important material and you may skip some of these portions. Skimming helps double your reading speed and improve your comprehension as well.
[5]_____, Go over your notes as soon as you can after class. Review important points mentioned in class as well as points you remain confused. If you know what the teacher will discuss the next day, skim and read that material, too. If you review your notes and textbook regularly, the material will become more meaningful and you will remember it longer. Regular review leads to improved performance on tests.
[6]Develop a good attitude towards tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t worry excessively about a single test.

Positive psychologists believe that people can learn how to become happy and that everyone can teach themselves to see a half empty glass as half full.All they have to do is to spend time thinking about all the things that have gone right for them，rather than complaining what has gone badly.But people who are depressed usually think and worry about something that went wrong in the past.What can affect people’s personal levels of happiness according to the passage?

[1]Everyone has dreams and they obey the rules that if you can dream it, you can achieve it! Here are four goals for people to reach a perfect life in their future.
[2]The first goal common to all of us is health and energy. We all want to be healthy and fit, to have high levels of energy and to live free of pains and illnesses. Today, with the incredible advances in medical science, the quality of our health and fitness, and our lifespan, is largely determined by design, not by chance. People with excellent health habits are far healthier, have more energy, and live longer and better than people who have poor health habits. Remember that health is not everything, but without health everything is nothing!
[3]The second goal that we all have in common is to enjoy excellent relationships--- intimate, personal or social--- with the people we like and respect, and who like and respect us in turn. Fully 85% of your happiness will be determined by the quality of your relationships at each stage, and in each area, of your life. How well you get along with people, and how much they like, love and respect you, have more impact on the quality of your life than perhaps any other factor.
[4]The third common goal is to do work that we enjoy, to do it well, and to be well paid for it. You want to be able to get and keep the job you want, to get paid more and elevated faster. You want to earn the very most that is possible for you at each stage of your career, whatever you do.
[5]The fourth goal we all have in common is to achieve financial independence. You want to reach the point in life where you have enough money so that you never have to worry about money again. You want to completely be free of financial worries. You want to be able to order dinner in a restaurant without referring to the price listings to determine what you want to eat.What is the main idea of this passage? (No more than 15 words)

There were smiling children all the way. Clearly they knew at what time the train passed their homes and they made it their business to stand along the railway, wave to complete strangers and cheer them up as they rushed towards Penang. Often whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as if those on the trains were their favorite relatives. This is the simple village people of Malaysia. I was moved.
I had always traveled to Malaysia by plane or car, so this was the first time I was on a train. I did not particularly enjoy the long train journey and had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread. I looked about the train. There was not one familiar face. I sighed and sat down to read my Economics.
It was not long before the train was across the Causeway and in Malaysia. Johore Baru was just another city like Singapore, so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried past. As we went beyond the city, I watched the straight rows of rubber trees and miles and miles of green. Then the first village came into sight. Immediately I came alive; I decided to wave back.
From then on my journey became interesting. I threw my magazines into the waste basket and decided to join in Malaysian life. Then everything came alive. The mountains seemed to speak to me. Even the trees were smiling. I stared at everything as if I was looking at it for the first time.
The day passed fast and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry. I looked at my watch and was surprised that it was 3:00 pm. Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth. I looked at the people all around me. They all looked beautiful. When my uncle arrived with a smile, I threw my arms around him to give him a warm hug(拥抱). I had never done this before. He seemed surprised and then his weather-beaten face warmed up with a huge smile. We walked arm in arm to his car.
I looked forward to the return journey.What did the author think of her train trip at first? (Within 5 words)
Where was the writer going? (Within 2 words)
How did the author plan to kill her time on the train? (Within 5 words)
Why did the uncle feel surprised when the author gave him a warm hug? (Within 10 words)

Though I don’t have much money, I always try to think positively. However, sometimes, I also feel depressed and sad when I think how others have more than me, so I hate thinking about money. When I was younger, I always wondered why money was so important. But as I get older, of course that changes.
Last night, on my way home I stopped by to buy some hamburgers at a fast food restaurant. On my way in, a homeless man came over and asked, “Do you have any bottles lying around?” I knew he would recycle them for a few cents, but I had none. And again he asked, “Can you spare some change?” I smiled and said, “Sorry, I don’t.” He was respectful, saying, “OK, thank you.” Though he didn’t have anything, he was still in good spirits.
I went in and ate my meal, but I wondered if he was hungry, thinking if I should buy him something or not. Only after I finished my meal did I decide to order another one for him. At this point I didn't know if he was still around, but I tried anyway. At the counter I ordered a hamburger and also a hot chocolate, for it was cold outside. As I waited, I noticed the homeless man standing beside me with a tray（盘子）full of a few coins. I looked at him and smiled, “The hamburger and this hot chocolate are for you.” He replied like a gentleman, “Thank you. That’s very kind of you.”
No matter how hard your life is, there are always those whose life is harder. And it's not always about happiness, but it’s about love. If you love someone, you’ll give them what they deserve because the greatest thing you can give is love.Why does the writer hate thinking about money? (No more than 12 words)

[1]While mankind has always been seeking beauty, standards for the abstract thing have been changing constantly throughout history.

Egyptians, Greeks and Romans loved make-up, However, these early civilizations were exceptions to the rule, as make-up was mostly avoided in the centuries following Queen Victorna went so far as to call all make-up rulgar(粗俗的)in a public speech, and modesty was the leading beauty trend for many years, But thanks to the introduction of movies, make-up came back in a big way .Today, it is a billion-dollar industry.
