As teenagers, you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize, or they can be small. You may just want to become one of the ten best students in your class.
Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream real?Follow Your Heart by Australian writer Andrew Matthews tells us that making our dreams real is life’s biggest challenge.
You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or that it is impossible for you to become a writer. These kinds of thoughts stop you from getting your dream, the book says.
In fact, everyone can make his dream come true. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is.
Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want. Do this step by step and your dream will come true faster because a big dream is, in fact, many small dreams.
You must also never give up your dream.
There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will lead to better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book. As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. This is good as you have the chance to learn more skills and find new interests.

Wang Bing’s father began smoking when he was a freshman ( 大學(xué)一年級學(xué)生)in college. His friend passed him his first cigarette. He has now been smoking for more than 30 years.
It’s a classic example of how young people are introduced to cigarettes, except that nowadays smokers develop their habit at an even younger age.
It has become a major concern(擔(dān)憂) in China that many teenagers begin to smoke. A survey showed that 22.5% of the middle school students questioned had tried smoking and 15.8% of them smoked regularly.
For many teenagers, smoking is a symbol of being an adult, independence, maturity(成熟) and attractiveness because the images who they love best often smoke on screen.
The social environment also plays an important role in attracting teenagers to smoking. They are used to seeing their elders, especially male family members, smoking at home. Many of them imitate adult behavior and become new smokers.
To increase the price of cigarettes is an effective way to reduce the number of young smokers, as teenagers have limited money to spend on them.
Another way is to educate the teenagers to voluntarily refuse cigarettes. A survey shows that 92.5% of the students know smoking will be bad for their health. If we persuade them in a proper way, most of them may give up smoking.
All in all, the society, the government, the school and the family should join together to take the responsibility for an anti-smoking (禁煙) campaign aimed at teenagers, not just to put empty slogans and warnings on cigarette packs.
小題1:The writer uses the first paragraph to ______.
A. tell the readers a story of a smoker
B. introduce the topic of the passage
C. introduce the college life of Wang Bing’s father.
小題2:What’s the main idea of this passage?
A．The teenagers think smoking is a symbol of being an adult and independence.
B．The social environment encourages the teenagers to smoke.
C．The teenagers should be educated to refuse to smoke.
D．The teenage smoking has become a serious problem in China.
小題3:What does the word ”imitate”in Paragraph 5 mean in Chinese?
A．指責(zé)B．忍受C．模仿D．支持
小題4:From the underlined part of the last sentence of this passage, we can infer(推斷) that the writer thinks putting slogans and warnings on cigarette packs is ______to solve the problem.
A．not enoughB．of no use
C．of great helpD．of great importance.

Reading is the key to school success and, like any skill, it takes practice. A child learns to walk by practicing until he no longer has to think about how to put one foot in front of the other. An excellent sportsman practices until he can play quickly, correctly and without thinking. Educators call it “automaticity (自動性)”.
A child learns to read by sounding out the letters and finding the meaning of the words. With practice, he stumbles less and less, reading by the phrase (短語). With automaticity, he doesn’t have to think about the meaning of words, so he can give all his attention to the meaning of the text.
It can begin as early as first grade. In a recent study of children in Illinois schools, Alan Rossman of Northwestern University found that automatic readers in the first grade not only read almost three times as fast as the others, but also got better results in exams.
According to Rossman, the key to automaticity is the amount (數(shù)量) of time a child spends reading, not his IQ. Any child who spends at least 3.5 to 4 hours a week reading books, magazines or newspapers will probably reach automaticity. It can happen if a child turns off TV just one night for reading at home.
You can test yourself by reading something new which is suitable (適合) for your level. If you read aloud with expression, with a sense of the meaning of the sentences, you probably are an automatic reader. If you read brokenly, one word at a time, without expression or meaning, you need more practice.
小題1:“Reading is the key to school success” means that reading            .
A．helps school develop faster
B．is a key to a successful school
C．helps students go to a key school
D．can improve students’ learning results
小題2:Children with “automaticity” can read faster because they            .
A．know how to read the words
B．do not have to think while reading
C．read by themselves without any help
D．pay attention to the meaning of the text
小題3:Rossman tells that any child who             will possibly be an automatic reader.
A．turns off TV one night 4 weeks
B．reads books by the word quickly
C．spends an hour reading every day
D．gets the same grades as others in exams
小題4:The underlined word “stumble” in the passage means “          ” in Chinese.
A．結(jié)結(jié)巴巴地讀B．全神貫注地讀
C．心不在焉地讀D．聲情并茂地讀
小題5:The best title for the passage is “          ”.
A．IQ Is the Key to the Automaticity
B．TV Is Bad for Children’s Reading

In the past twenty years, riding bicycles has become more and more popular among people of all ages. (83) Bicycles have long played an important part in the lives of American young people. But today an even greater number of adults cycle 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 (交叉路口) . (84)By following these rules, bicycle riders will not only stay healthy but also be safe.
In one recent year, the National Safety Council reported that 34 thousand bicycle riders were hurt in highway accidents. In that same year, another six hundred riders were killed. Since the introduction of crash helmets (頭盔) in 1980, the number of injuries (傷者) 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.
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答下列問題。
小題1:How many rules should the riders follow? Give one example.
                                                                             
小題2:According to the National Safety Council’s report, what’s the total number of injuries and deaths in one recent year?
