A group of swans flew down to a beach where a crow (乌鸦) was jumping around. The crow watched them with disdain (鄙视) .
"You have no flying skills at all！" he said to the swans. "All you can do is to move your wings. Can you turn over in the air? No,that's beyond you. Let's have a flying competition. I'll show you what real flying is!"
One of the swans,a strong young male,took up the challenge. The crow flew up and began to show off his skills. He flew in circles,performed other flying tricks,and then came down and looked proudly at the vswan.
Now it was the swan's turn. He flew up,and began flying over the sea. The crow flew after him,making all kinds of comments (评价) about his flying. They flew on and on till they couldn't see the land and there was nothing but water on all sides. The crow was making fewer and fewer comments. He was now so exhausted that he found it hard to stay in the air,and had to struggle to stop himself from falling into the water.
The swan pretended (假装) not to notice and said, "Why do you keep touching the water,brother? Is that another trick?"
"No," said the crow. He knew he had lost the competition. "I'm in trouble because of my pride!If you don't help me,Fll lose my life..."
The swan took pity on him,and took him on his back and flew back to the beach.

1. c细节理解题。通读全文可知，故事发生的先后顺序为：The crow laughed at the swans' flying. →The crow challenged the swans and a strong young swan accepted it →The crow showed off his flying skills→The crow followed the swan and got into trouble→The swan took pity on the crow and savedhim。
2. A词义猜测题。由题目中的关键词"exhausted" in Paragraph 4 可回原文定位于第四段。根据"He was now so exhausted that he found it hard to stay in the air,and had to struggle to stop himself from falling into the water."可知，他发现自己继续待在空中很难因此苦苦挣扎不让自己掉人水中。从而可猜测乌鸦十分"疲劳"，因此exhausted的意思是"疲劳的"，相当于tired。
3. B 细节理解题。由题目中的关键词keep touching the water ,可回原文定位于第四段。根据该段的内容可以推断，它努力挣扎着不让自己掉人水中。
4. D 推理判断题。根据第四段可知，它们飞啊飞,天鹅继续飞而乌鸦却变得精疲力竭，由此可以判断，天鹅更善于长途飞行。
5. C主旨大意题。文章讲述了骄傲的乌鸦输掉了和天鹅的比赛甚至差点丟掉性命的故事，告诉我们"骄兵必败"。

Amy |
Hi Amy, |
It is a common problem with children from all countries,so I know that you are not alone. Here's my 3 for you. |
My first idea is: Why are you still living at home? |
At your age it is time for you 4 (learn) life. Did you think about getting a job in another area of your country? This |
would be fine without causing a problem with your parents. Doing like this will cause 5 (few) problems with them. |
Another idea: How about 6 (move) in with a relative? Get a job in that area and then,move out and get your own place. |
You cannot be independent when under your parents' roof. You are their little girl and will be the rest of your life. They |
feel that you should do 7 they tell you. This can stop you 8 making your own mistakes and learning from them. |
They love you very much,but they 9 (not understand) it's bad for your growing up. So,it is time to leave and learn |
what you want in the world. |
I hope that the ideas 10 you a lot. Good luck! |

Some of the greatest problems we face today are the destruction (破坏) of our environment,such as brown clouds,polluted water,endangered wild animals . . . These problems seem so huge.
So my family do what we can do. We take cloth bags to stores instead of using plastic bags. If we can walk to a place,we never drive there.
But does it do any good? When I am the only one in line at the market with cloth bags,am I doing any good? Does my walking to stores make any real differences to the world?
I recently learned something about flamingos (火烈鸟) which like to get together in groups of a thousand or more. Every year,when the time for migration (迁徙) comes,a few of them first take off from the lake. But none of the others seem to notice,so the small group returns. However,next day they try again. This time a few more fly along with them,but most of the others still pay no attention,so they return again. They try several times. Every time a few more birds join in,but since thousands of others still take no notice,the great migration plan is once more stopped.
Then one day something changes. The same small group of birds once again starts flying and a small number more join in just as before,then more. Finally,they all take flight and the migration really begins. What a spectacular sight it must be―thousands of flamingos taking off into the sky at the same time!
A few can make a difference. Even if you're the one to take the first step,continue trying and others will some day take notice and together we will solve even our greatest problems.

Most teens need more than 9 hours of sleep each night. But about 1 in 4 teens has trouble in sleeping.

Expect a good night's sleep. Instead of worrying that you won't sleep,remind yourself that you can. Say "Tonight,I will sleep well" several times during the day. It can also help to practice breathing exercises or gentle exercises before bed.
