As teenagers grow, it is normal for them to become     1    （confuse）about the changing world both inside and outside of them. During adolescence, teenagers go through great physical changes. They grow     2    （tall）and their voices get deeper, among some other     3    （develop）.

Along with these physical changes,     4     come many psychological changes. Boys and girls tend     5    （be）

different in this regard. Many boys become risk-takers-they want to find their own limits and the limits of the world around them,     6     may not have the     7    （wise）to make good choices in their behavior.     8     the same time, girls often want to find someone to talk to, as they try to deal with their strong feelings.

In the social world, as teenagers get older, they struggle to depend on themselves. They may badly want and need their     9    （parent）love, yet feel distant. They often question who they are and     10     they fit in society.

2 . One-year-old Tallulah turned purple and stopped moving after the sweet became stuck in her throat. Her mum Leigh-Anne said the drama began during a visit to her grandma’s house when her grandparents gave her older kids some sweets.

“Then at about 4:45 pm, Tallulah started to choke—we all went into a panic.”

“It seemed like it went on for ages. Not one of us knew what to do.”

“I rang an ambulance while my grandma and granddad tried to get the sweet to come up.”

“Tallulah was panicking at first but then she started to go purple—she almost had no oxygen left in her.”

With her daughter limp (无力的) and time running out, Leigh—Anne knew she couldn’t afford to wait for the ambulance to arrive.

“The only thing I could think was to go out into the street.” She said.

“I rushed out and screamed for someone to help while my grandma rushed out crying with Tallulah.”

At exactly the moment, Caitlin, who is studying public services at Redcar College, was passing by Queen Street. She said, “I was waiting to go to work when I heard someone screaming for help, so I ran straight over.”

The 17-year-old girl added, “Something just clicked and I went into auto mode. The little girl was completely limp, so I checked her airways and tilted (使倾斜) her over and started hitting her back. I turned her round and tapped on her chest, then after what felt like forever she coughed up the sweet and spat it out.

As soon as she started crying I felt a huge relief. I was just so pleased I was able to help.”

3 . Around this time a few years ago, it was common to see videos of friends on social media having a bucket of icy water thrown on them. Known as the “ice bucket challenge”, it was created as a way to raise money for the medical condition ALS. But now, there’s a new challenge and this time, no water is involved.

What is it? Well, think of a fruit that you’d never normally sink your teeth into. Perhaps you’ve got it: a lemon. While we enjoy using lemons to add flavor to dishes, very few of us would actually eat one as we’d eat an apple or an orange.

But the horrible taste is the precise reason why the “lemon face challenge” is taking off. Participants bite into a lemon, taking a selfie as they do it before posting the photo online. The fun is all about expression people make as all that citric acid（柠檬酸）hits their taste buds（味蕾）. Every expression seems to say, “This is worse than freezing water.”

The serious side to this trend is the good cause it’s all in aid of. The challenge aims to raise awareness of a rare brain cancer that affects young children. It was started by Aubregh Nicholas, an 11-year-old US kid. She was diagnosed with this rare brain cancer herself in September 2017, but has since raised almost $50000 to cover her medical expenses thanks to the challenge.

If a challenge is going to raise publicity and contributions from people, it has to be something interesting and original. That way the ice bucket challenge took off in 2014 and it explains why so many people are now sharing their lemon faces. There are a lot of stories about the downside of social media these days. The charity challenges, however, show how online culture can unite the world and bring help to the people who most need it.

4 . It's hard when a best friend isn't around-maybe because he or she moved to a different school or a different class，or maybe he or she is just homesick for the day. You can feel lonely at break or lunchtime without him or her.     1    You want to have new friends，but how do you make new friends？Maybe it seems like everybody else already has their friends.     2    

Start by looking around your classroom and think about which kids you'd like to play with at break. Look for chances to say "Hi" to them，smile，and be friendly.     3     Invite someone to play with you or say "Do you want to sit here？"in the lunchroom. When you're at break，walk over to kids you want to play with，act politely，and say "Hi，can I play，too？"or just join in.

If you have trouble doing this or if you're feeling shy，ask your teacher to help you make new friends. Teachers are usually pretty good at matching up friends.     4    Be kind and friendly，share，say positive things，offer to help-and pretty soon，you'll have one，or two，or even more new friends.

    5    It doesn't matter because when you see each other，you can share something you didn't have before he or she left: You can introduce him or her to your new friends！

A．What's right for me?

B．Make a choice in your life.

C．Will he or she feel the same?

D．Offer to share something or offer greetings.

E．You might still miss that special best friend.

F．The best way to make friends is to be a friend.

G．But remember, there's always room for more friends.

5 . Social media has given rise to a cool phenomenon called “selfie（自拍）”. It refers to a picture of yourself, usually shared on any social networking website.

    1     Some selfies are extreme close-ups（特写镜头）, and others show part of an arm held straight outward. A few of them even feature the subject standing in front of a bathroom mirror.

Everyone takes selfies, but the younger crowd seem to be especially involved in the trend. Young people are relatively heavier digital users. They are interested in staying connected to their friends.     2    .

There are also kinds of psychological（心理的）factors driving people to take a selfie and upload it to a social networking site.     3     A quick and easy way to attract attention from others is to get “likes” and comments from friends. Secondly, it’s human nature to show off your own great achievements. When you feel good about yourself or look good, it’s far too easy to take out your phone and record it all through one or several selfies.     4     That’s right. Sometimes people are bored at work, bored at school, bored at home and even bored on the toilet. Last but not least, social media is about being social! If that means uploading as many selfies as possible, then so be it. It’s fun, and it’s a cool way to record your own life.

Finally, there are things to be careful about when you’re posting selfies. It’s easy to think you’re sharing a photo with a few people.     5     So don’t post anything online, the selfie especially.

A．There are lots of selfie styles.

B．The rise of selfies has become universal.

C．But the whole world of social media is public and everyone can see it.

D．Social media, to some extent, is the driving force of their selfie activity.

E．The desire to get “likes” on selfies goes back to biological behavior.

F．There are also people who take selfies because they have nothing else better to do.

G．The leading factor is that people want to get attention from as many people as possible.

6 . 短文改错

Being responsible is actual not that difficult. I used to think it was hard to growing up into a responsible member of society. An incident happening in a rainy Sunday afternoon changed my attitude. I was on my way to the bookstore and was waiting for the green light while a girl was knocked down by passing car，which drove off quickly. A man immediately gave her first aid and I had joined in without hesitation. Soon many help was given to the girl. Because we sent her to the nearest hospitals in time, she was able to receive proper treatment. Not badly injured, he expressed gratitude to those giving help. Comparing with the escaped driver, I was proud of what I did.

7 . 短文改错

I think honesty is a important part of life. Lack of honesty lead to all kinds of problem. For example, if you lie to your friends, you will have to work hard to win back his trust. And if you can't depend them to tell you the truth, then your friendship is unlikely to lasting.

Honesty at work is just as important. A person which doesn't value honesty is a bad partner. Most people work in teams and if you cannot trust a partner, the team would break down.

In a word, it is my belief that honesty in our life is very much important. Without it, our life would become great unpleasant.

But then came the day when she was not ______ walking their dog; instead, Charlie was doing so. I realized he was alone, and the desire to greet him grew ______. My window was rolled down before I came around the corner, and ______ he was not on the porch, I’d shout to him, hoping that in his ______ he’d hear me. As long as there was a ______ on in the house, I felt that he was all right.

10 . How to Deal with People Who Put You Down

It's not a good feeling when someone insults（侮辱）you.     1     You just have to learn to take care of yourself and know how to deal with it when it happens.

1.Avoid reacting immediately.

When someone puts you down，deal with it by not immediately reacting to him. Getting angry will strengthen his behavior.     2     Also，it's not good for you to act out the anger or other negative emotions. You could do or say something you will regret，or you could damage yourself with stress.

2.Understand why the person does it.

    3     It is not always on purpose and may not always be meant to hurt you. Understanding what the person's motive is can help you determine how to deal with him. Sometimes people aren't really trying to be mean or hurt your feelings. They may just consider it harmless.

3.    4    

The person's words are a reflection of himself，not of you. If he were a happy person，he would not spend so much time putting down other people around him. Also，he most likely does this to other people and not just you. If you let his put-downs get to you，then he wins. Don't allow what he said to make you feel bad about yourself.

4.Ask for support.

You should tell someone and ask for help if the person is putting you down all the time. Tell someone who is an authority figure like a teacher，parent，or supervisor if the person does this to you.     5     They can stand up for you when it's happening or even report what is going on.

A．Don't take it to heart.

B．Hang out with positive people.

C．Using your support systems helps in many ways.

D．These people can surely put you down every time.

E．It gives him what he wants — a response from you.

F．It can also hurt your feelings when someone puts you down.
