We high school students do have some growing pains, but we can get rid of them{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (correct) and wisely. First, some of us are upset about our body style and looks. It's unnecessary and it's not important at all. We needn't care about it. It is one's inner beauty that{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (matter). Second, we sometimes seem to be misunderstood by our teachers, parents and classmates. Faced with this, we can find a proper time to have a heart-to-heart talk with them, trying to remove the misunderstanding. Some of us have fewer friends, I think being open-minded and friendly will do us good. Third, we may fall behind others, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} makes us stressed. Actually we can encourage{#blank#}4{#/blank#} to work efficiently, full of{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (determine). At last, some of us don't have much pocket money, so they feel unhappy. Isn't it strange? So long as we have some, that's enough. And we can learn how to spend money.

    Mary will ever forget the first time she saw him. He suddenly appeared in class one day, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (wear) sun glasses. He walked in as if he had bought the school , And the word quickly got around that he was from New York City .  For some reason he sat beside Mary. Mary felt {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(please), because there were many empty seats in the room. But she quickly realized that it wasn't her, it was probably the fact that she sat in {#blank#}3{#/blank#}last row. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}he thought he could escape attention by sitting at the back, he was wrong. It might have made it a little {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(hard) for everybody because it meant they had to turn around, but that didn't stop the kids in the class. Of course whenever they turned to look at him, they had to look at Mary, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} made her feel like a star. Do you need those glasses for medical reasons?” the teacher asked .The new boy shook his head.” Then I'd appreciate {#blank#}7{#/blank#} if you didn't wear them in class. I like tolook at your eyes when I'm speaking to you.” The new boy looked at the teacher{#blank#}8{#/blank#}a few seconds and all the other students wondered {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the boy woulddo . Then he took {#blank#}10{#/blank#}off, gave a big smile and said, “That's cool.”

    I love reading. At age 6, I could be found reading Harry Potter, a difficult book for a 6-year-old but I {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(enjoy) it all the same. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} soon became obvious that spelling for me was not difficult and I had a wide vocabulary. This is one way I benefited {#blank#}3{#/blank#} reading at such a young age.

    My advice for you as English learners would be to read the English novels {#blank#}4{#/blank#}you have often read in your native language. Reading novels is a great way of {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(improve) your vocabulary and spelling without realising it as you are absorbed（全神贯注的）in the storyline. You know the sorry well, so its {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(usual) easy to follow it in English even if you do not understand every word.

    This is another essential（基本的）point: it's not necessary {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(understand) every word. If you understand the {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(mean) of the sentence, each word is not necessarily important. Quite often, if a word is used several times in a text, you'll gradually get an idea of {#blank#}9{#/blank#} it means.

    Give it a try. If you like reading yon could open up {#blank#}10{#/blank#} whole new world of literature.

    Cell phones can be life-saving communication tools to have on hand in a vehicle in case of emergency. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}, actually using a cell phone while driving may be life threatening. Many different studies have shown that when drivers use a phone while driving, it can be very {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (danger). At some point during the use of a cell phone, a driver's eyes are sure to be distracted from the road.

    Studies have shown that new drivers are especially likely {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (have) an accident when they use a cell phone while driving. The reason for this is {#blank#}4{#/blank#}new drivers have less experience in focusing {#blank#}5{#/blank#}driving during distractions. Also, several studies {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (do) on teen drivers found that many teens send text {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (message) while driving, which is thought to be more distracting and at risk.

    All drivers, not just teens or other new drivers, who use a cell phone while driving {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (say) by studies to be at least four times {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (much) likely to be at risk than drivers who don't use a phone behind the wheel. Such studies have inspired many countries, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (include) the United States, to have at least some bans on hand-held cell phone use while driving. However, many people feel that these restrictions are not enough because studies have also shown that hand-held cell phones are just a part of the problem.
