Food or friends? Lip salve (润唇膏) or iPod? What is the most important thing in the US teenagers' lives today? Let's take a look.
Some find that they can't do without people.
"My biggest need is my friends. Without them, I wouldn't do much," said Adrian Fernandez, a 14-year-old boy.
With others, food always comes first.
"I do not think that I could live without chili con carne (辣子肉丁). I eat it every day. And if I didn't have it, it's all I would think about," said Max Wu, an 8th-grade boy.
Sometimes, the things teenagers can't do without are strange.
Take 14-year-old girl Hannah Sacchini for example. "I cannot live without lip salve, especially in winter," said Hannah Sacchini. "I go mad if my lips get dry."
Of course, today everybody uses mobile phones and computers. Some teens can't live without these high-tech (高科技的) things.
Justin Beck, a 15-year-old boy, feels like this: "I would not be able to live without my iPod. I use it for so many different things. I always have it with me," he said.

    Everyone faces challenges in their life, but some are more important than others. Daniel Kish had serious problems with his eyes when he was born. And doctors took away both of his eyes before he was fourteen months old.

    Soon after, however, he started to do an amazing thing. He started to make clicking(咔嗒) sounds with his tongue(舌头) to help him move around. Much like a bat(蝙蝠), he now moves about using sonar(声呐). He is so good at it that he can ride a bicycle in traffic. He and his group, World Access for the Blind, teach others how to use sonar. In this interview with National Geographic, Kish explains how the process works.

    How does sonar work?

    "When I make a clicking sound, it makes sound waves. These waves reflect(反射) off surfaces all around and return to my ears. My brain then processes the sounds into images(图像). It's like having a conversation with the environment

    When you click, what do you see in your mind?

    "Each click is like a camera flash. I make a 3D image of the things around me for hundreds of feet in every direction

    What is it like riding a bike using sonar?

    "It's exciting and enjoyable but requires a lot of focus. I click up to two times per second, much more than I usually do."

    Is it dangerous to move around the world in this way?

"Much of the world lives in fear of things that we mostly imagine. I have a habit of climbing anything and everything, but I never broke a bone (骨头) as a kid."

    How challenging is it to teach people to use sonar?

    "Many students are surprised how quickly results come. Seeing isn't in the eyes, it's in the mind."

Love, joy and the warm feeling of getting together don't cost a thing. But gifts do cost money. So what should a poor family do?

When I was 10, I told my mother that the only thing I wanted for the New Year was a pogo stick (弹簧单高跷). However, my mother said it was so expensive that we couldn't afford one.

On a Saturday before New Year, my family went shopping together. While my mother and I were picking out the gifts, my dad said, "I'll be back soon-I need to see something in the tool area." A moment later, he came back with a long box. I remembered wondering if there was a pogo stick in it.

When we arrived home, my dad put the box in the garage. While my parents were busy with their chores, I quietly walked out to the garage and found the box. I was so excited and I knew as soon as I opened that magical box, my bright, shiny pogo stick would appear. No such luck! Inside the box was a silly old broom (扫帚).

That New Year morning, I got some gifts like a tiger toy and a saving pot, but I didn't get the present that I really wanted. How upset I felt at that moment though I didn't want my parents to see!

After cleaning up the room, my dad went to the garage. When he came back, he was carrying a beautiful pogo stick. I couldn't believe it! My parents probably got quite a laugh from the trick they played on me.

Although we didn't have much money, my parents gave me the most important gift of all: lots of love. That was over 60 years ago and I still think about those wonderful memories. They were full of my childhood. I will never forget all the joy my parents brought into my life.

A) 先阅读短文,掌握其大意,然后从各小题所给的A、B、C、D在四个选项中选出可以填入相应空白处的最佳答案。

When I moved to America in the 7th grade, I did not speak any English. I had no choice but to keep working hard. Although I made 1 when I reached the 9th grade, people still found it difficult to understand me because of my accent (口音).

One day, at a party, I was invited to play a guessing game. When it was my turn, I tried to 2 the object that I had in mind. Suddenly someone said with a laugh, "What did she say?" I felt 3 . Out of kindness, a girl gently advised me to repeat it, but I got stuck on the word "purple"—I couldn't 4 it. This time, everyone laughed while I was trying hard to get the word out of me. This 5 had its own influence on me. When opportunities were opened up for the summer program I had been looking forward to, I 6 to attend (参加) the interview. Luckily, I got tons of encouragement from people around me. So I decided to 7 .

At the interview, the other students in my group spoke very 8 but I didn't speak that much. I knew that I could hardly be understood because of my accent. Besides when I was nervous, it would be even more 9 for me to pronounce words clearly. After the interview, I stayed, said "10 " and explained to the teachers. I didn't want them to think I wasn't interested or I was being unfriendly. But they appreciated (欣赏) that I expressed 11 . "It's OK. You don't have to say sorry. Your accent does not make you less than others," said one of the teachers.

Surprisingly, I was accepted into the 12 . Imagine how I felt!

Up to now, I still feel 13 that I took that step. It is a sign that I have changed. I did not let my accent 14 me. I'm sure I will continue to feel nervous about speaking English with strangers. 15 that's OK. It will not stop me from trying to be better.

阅读下面短文, 掌握大意, 然后从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

Once there was a little boy. He was famous as a fast 1 in his village. He thought nothing was more important than winning every running race(比赛), because he wanted to become more 2 .

One day, the boy joined a running race in his village. He 3 the 100, 200 and 50- meter races without any problem. He got a great 4 and was very excited. So he thought no one was 5 than him.

But his grandfather walked towards him and asked him to have a 6 with an old man and a blind(瞎的) girl. The boy thought it was a little 7 but accepted.

In the race, the boy finished first, but the old man and the blind girl were still at the starting line. He was happy and waved his hands at people. But they said 8 .

" Why are people not cheering for 9 like before? " he asked his grandfather.

The grandfather said "10 the race again with them. But this time, all of you should cross the finishing line at the same time".

The boy didn't know why 11 he agreed to the race.

During the second race, the boy took the hands of the old man and the blind girl and walked 12 with them to the finishing line. The people gave them a great cheer.

The boy asked his grandfather, " For whom are the people cheering? Is it for me, or them? "

The grandfather 13 and said, " They did not cheer for any one of you. They cheered for 14 you all ran the race together."

Facing the race of life, the most important thing is not just 15 , but how you run the race.
