1 . In the past twenty years, riding bicycles has become more and more popular among people of all ages. Bicycles have long played an important part in the lives of American young people. But today an even greater number of adults ride bicycles along roadsides and bicycle paths. These new riders are often trying to become fit or lose weight. They have found that bicycling is a pleasant way to stay healthy.
This is certainly good for health. But it has also brought some problems. With all these added people on the road, bicycle safety has become a matter of real importance.
Bicycle safety is mostly a matter of common sense. People should ride only on bicycle paths where they will not be badly hurt. There are also a number of rules that riders should follow,especially when riding on streets or highways. Bicyclists should never ride against the traffic, nor should they carry other people on their bicycles. They are also supposed to ride in single line on busy streets and to "walk" bicycles across the busy intersections （交叉路）. By following these rules , bicycle riders will ___________ stay healthy ___________ be safe.
In one recent year ; the National Safety Council reported that 34 thousand bicycie riders were hurt in highway accidents. In that same year , another six hundred riders were killed. Since the introduction of crash helmets （头盔）in 1980, the number of injuries （伤者） and deaths from bicycling accidents had gone down. Today , more and more riders realize the dangers of bicycling. They are wearing helmets and paying closer attention to cycling rules.

2 . These days living and dealing with kids can be hard, but living and dealing with parents may be even harder.
I have learned that communication is very important since I was at the age of sixteen, both when you disagree with your parents and when you get along well with your parents. In any situation, you need to let other persons know how you are feeling. When you are mad at your parents or anyone else, not talking to （1） them can't solve anything.
Communication begins with the care of each other. It means that you can't just return home from school without saying anything to your parents. Even if you just say "Hi", it is better than saying nothing. If you look（2）___________ the word "communication" in a dictionary, it would say "the exchange of ideas, the expressions of information, correspondence （通信） ,means of communication: a letter or a message" . To remain a good relationship, you must keep communication strong. Let people know how you feel,even if it's just by writing a note.
When dealing with parents, you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as parents. If you are trying to make them see something as you see it, tell them that you'll listen to what they have to say carefully, but ask them politely to listen to you as well. Shouting or walking away only makes the situation worse.
Communication isn't a one -way deal:it goes both ways. Just remember: telling the others how you feel and listening to others are the keys to communication.

3 . During China's Lunar New Year , millions of young people return home. However, many of them are afraid of being asked so many private questions such as salary, work plans and. family plans. These "warm-hearted" questions usually make the young people so stressed out that they either change topics or avoid attending family parties.

According to the passage，our
An apple a day keeps the doctor away. This old saying shows us an important part of a healthy diet: eat fruit every day. However，healthy eating is much more than this.
On Feb 10，the Chinese government released a new guideline to guide people on how to eat. It shows us the foods that every Chinese should eat per year by 2020. It includes 135kg staple food（主食），16kgeggs，.30的36kg milk，29kg meat and 60kg fruit."
This means that each day a person should have two and a half bowls of rice，an egg，meat of one and a half egg's weight，a fruit and a glass of milk.
Most of children may only choose to eat the foods they enjoy the most. This is mainly because of their eating habit. With some useful tips，you can form（形成）a healthy eating habit right now.
Give your body energy by eating different kinds of healthy foods，including whole grains（谷物），protein（蛋白质），fruit and vegetables. Try not to eat too much food that is high in sugar and salt. If you really want candy，try some naturally sweet fruit instead. Fresh fruit juice or fruit salad with yogurt is a great idea.
It is also important to know how much to eat. Using a smaller plate can help you control your food amount.
Food guides around the world.
Many countries have a guide to show people how to eat every day. What are some interesting ones？ Let's take a look.
The US began to use My Plate in 2011.This food guide looks like a colorful plate. It divides your daily food intake into four main parts: grains，fruits，vegetables and protein. There is a small cup by the plate，which stands for dairy（奶制品）.
My Plate is easy to use. Parents don't need to work out exactly how much food their children should have. As long as children have the proper（合适的）portions，they are eating healthily.
The Japanese use a spinning top（旋转的陀螺）as their food guide picture. It gives eating and exercise advice，and even allows for snacks and drinks. The guide encourages people to eat more grains，vegetables and fish，rather than fruit and dairy. The person running on the top stands for regular exercise.

6 . A teacher says music education in schools has kind of turned into amusement, Classroom lessons focus heavily on pop while understanding the classical （古典的）art form and its history should be paid attention to.
A professor in music and music education at the University of NSW, Robert Walker, argues that all students should study the works of Western classical composers such as Haydn and Tchaikovsky.
Professor Walker says students are missing out on an important part of the culture heritage （遗产）because they fail to study classical music, as the little music that children learn at school is mainly pop. The lack （缺乏）of music teaching is serious, especially in government schools where there are not enough specialist （专业的） music teachers.
A national review in 2005 made 15 suggestions, but Professor Walker said it still failed to deal with the lack of classical music taught in schools.
"I'm not against pop music, but it's very simple, and not difficult either to play or to sing, " Professor Walker says. "But classical music is challenging and although it is part of Australia's culture heritage, most children learn it only through Hollywood films. "
"At least children ought to know what's happening in Western culture. It's part of culture heritage," he says. "Asian students know more about Western classical music than most children in the West. "
Professor Walker has taught music and music teachers in Britain, Canada and Australia and is a former chief （首席的）examiner for the International Baccalaureate and a former chairman of the research committee of the International Society for Music Education. Professor Walker says no school curriculum （课程）in Australia lists a piece of music that children should study , such as the Mendelssohn's.
"This lack of standard texts means that some children can be brought up totally on Western classical music, others on Elvis Presley, or on any music the teacher wants to teach. The situation should be changed as soon as possible, " he says.
1. What's the problem in music education in Professor Walker's opinion?| A．Children know nothing about their culture heritage. |
| B．Classical music education isn't valued in schools. |
| C．Pop music is simple and not difficult to play and sing. |
| D．Australian schools need more specialist music teachers. |

| C．difficult to play and sing | D．popular only in Asia |

| A．He worries about the music education in schools. |
| B．He thinks pop music teaching shouldn't be allowed. |
| C．He is well known in Western classical music teaching. |
| D．He has worked in Britain, Canada and Australia. |
| A．music teachers should teach anything that they like |

| C．music teachers shouldn't teach the music of Elvis Presley at all |

7 . It is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs. In other words，（A）they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don't. It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs. But this isn't accepted by all people.
Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life getting education only for a way of living. This is probably one of the earliest reasons of education. In fact，if education is just a way of making a living，people don't need to spend so much time in school. People can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. Even language and mathematics need not be taught in detail（详细地），either.（B）Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.
Education is（C）well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man. It is not only to teach him to speak，read and write，but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities. After that，it is to make him become a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of humans. Education is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music，read good books，watch plays and most of all take an interest in the world.
I agree that making a good living is an important reason for education，but certainly not the most important or the main reason.

8 . Are you the only child in the family？If so，you are the most important in your family. Parents are the closest people to you in the world. But a lot of middle school students have a problem. They feel they're not as close to their parents as before. They even don't think their parents are fair（公平的）to them.
Some students complain that their parents often say a lot to them，but never listen to them. Some say their parents don't allow them to play computer games when other classmates are doing that.

Some students even decide to leave home because they're afraid to tell their parents when they have done something wrong，especially when they do badly in exams.

9 . In your school，are you allowed to choose the subjects you want to learn？ Of course，the answer is "No" in China.
In America there is a school trying something new. At a high school in Florida，students will be able to choose their own classes. We all know that some students are better at some subjects than others. Some students plan to go on to college，while others don't. At this school students are able to find subjects they are interested in，and possibly even find the field（领域）they would like to go into after school. They are allowed to choose a subject like biology，math，a foreign language，or study skills like computer or car repair（修理）.
Some people think this is a good idea，because it helps students think about what they want to do in the future，and the school helps to give them the knowledge and skills needed to get there. They say that giving the students the chance to choose their own classes makes high school more interesting. Others disagree.

10 . Success is so much more than just money or fame. Success is about being able to live a happy and satisfying life that allows you to be true to who you really are. If you want to have a successful life，here are the things you need to focus on.
1 ______________
If you don't believe that you can have the life you are looking forward to, if you don't believe that you can achieve all that you are setting out to achieve, it is going to be very difficult to create a successful life. When you believe in yourself, it will increase your creativity, your ambition and your motivation to do things.
2_______________
If you only want to get money and fame，you are never going to truly feel successful. The feeling of success that is given through money and fame is only temporary and is not enough to keep a long-time feeling of satisfaction and happiness. For a truly successful life，your intention has to be rooted in your purposes，in your passions（热情）and in what feels good to you.
When your intention serves your purpose，make a change in the world and express your talents. You will know what your intention is no matter what the result is.
3_____________
Success is all around you and the more you can welcome that into your life，the more you will start to feel it. Being grateful to the tiniest successes in life will also help you to create more successes.
