16.A great way for teens to cool off during the summer is at water parks.If you live near a water park,you might think about getting a season pass.This way you can go as often as you like.
Check to see if there are any water parks around you.Many are indoor facilities.So even if it isn't warm enough where you live to swim outdoors,you can enjoy swimming in a temperature controlled area.
The prices are usually good.For example,one ticket to Water World,a water park,is only 5.
Some teens like to get a part time job over the summer to make some pocket money.Older teens shouldn't have much trouble finding jobs.
An idea is to get some teens together to form your own summer job business.You can walk dogs,bring in the newspapers,feed the cats,collect rubbish,water flowers,etc.
Being that it's summer,many people go on vacation and could use someone to look after their houses while they're away.You can also think about other jobs you can do for them.
Teens love freedom.Sure you would like to get to such places as the small,movie theaters,the zoo,the beach,picnic,bowling and local amusement park instead of staying home all summer.Then a summer bus pass will be helpful.Check to see if your area has one for you teens.
Such a pass costs only 10for the whole summer.The price is reasonable(合乎情理的) and also your parents don't have to always drive.

13.Comparing ourselves with others isn't a recent phenomenon---it's part of our culture.As soon as we're able to form our own thoughts and opinions,we start comparing.Who's taller?Who's better at sports?Who has more friends?
Unlike other childish habits,the urge to measure up(攀比) doesn't ever really go away.In fact,it only increases when we become teens."At a younger age,I found myself wanting to be cool and wondering why I wasn't that cool,"said a junior student Michael Torres."So I began doing what they did in order,to fit in with my own friends."
We are flooded with the message that we should compare ourselves with others.Magazines,advertisements,stores-it becomes all about what other people have or what they've achieved.Social media adds another player to the problem.Facebook,Twitter and QQ offer a constant stream of updates about the people around us.She got accepted to Harvard?He bought the brand new Nikes?They're dating?
"If I go on Facebook or twitter and read about how wonderful everyone else is,I'm not feeling good about myself.It's going to make me feel worse,"said Mike Robbins,a senior student."I try not to let things like that affect me,but in the modern world of technology it's hard not to take notice of what others are doing,and sometimes you want to be just like them."
Before you get caught up in the comparison game,keep in mind one very important detail:When it comes to social media,we often present only the things we want people to see---the good fortunes,happy moments,delicious desserts and best smiles.
The deeper question is:Are people really posting things on social media that are true or are they simply doing it to present something to other people?It's what we do in our culture:"Look how great I am,""Look how smart I am,""Look how happy I am,"and sometimes that's true,but in a lot of cases,it's not.
While comparing ourselves to others can inspire us to get ahead and work harder,it can also drive us crazy.Next time you find yourself wondering if you measure up,remember this:What we have is not a measure of who we are.We already have worth as an individual when we're born.Everything else is what people think of us.

24.When do we start to compare ourselves with others?D.
A.When we go to junior schools
B.When we were born into the world
C.When we have Facebook or Tweeter
D.When we have thoughts and opinions
25.According to the author,why would people like to post wonderful things on social media?A.
A.To show off their lives
B.To get advice from readers
C.To share happiness with others
D.To communicate useful information
26.The author presents the phenomenon of the comparison byB.
A.listing a lot of figures
B.giving facts and examples
C.providing scientific findings
D.comparing famous persons'opinions
27.From the passage,we learn that the authorC comparison with others.
A.supports
B.ignores
C.opposes
D.respects.

17.Tristan da Cunha,a 38-square-mile island,is the(61)farthest(far)inhabited island in the world,according to the Guinness Book of Records.It is 1,510 miles southwest of (62)its(it)nearest neighbor,St.Helena,and 1,950 miles west of Africa.Discovered by the Portuguese admiral (葡萄牙海军将)of the same name in 1506,the island belongs to Great Britain and has(63)a population of a few hundred.
Coming in a close second-and often(64)wrongly(wrong)mentioned as the most distant land-is Easter Island,(65)whichlies 1,260 miles east of its nearest neighbor,Pitcaim Island,and 2,300 miles west of South America.
The mountainous 64-square-mile island(66)were settled(settle)around the 5th century,supposedly (据说) by people who were lost at sea.They had no(67)connection(connect)with the outside world for more than a thousand years,giving them plenty of time(68)to build(build)more than 1,000 huge stone figures,(69)called(call)moai,for which the island is most famous.
On Easter Sunday,1722,however,settlers from Holland moved in and gave the island its name.Today,2,000 people live on the Chilean territory (智利领土)?They share one street,a small airport,(70)and a few hours of television per day.

18.Traditionally,fashion retailers(零售商)had four collections per year,one for each season but nowadays companies can design and manufacture (大量生产)clothes in as little as four weeks.Fast fashion means that the latest designs that appear at the fashion shows in Paris,London,etc.can be copied and shown within a month.
The advantages of rapidly changing fashions are clear.Shortening the product life cycle means if a design doesn't sell well within a week,it is taken out of the shops and a new design is chosen.This is good for the manufacturer as it means vaster sales,and good for the customer as they can keep up with fast-moving trends cheaply-and every time they visit the store,there is something new.
However,there are also a number of disadvantages to this approach.One of them is the theft of ideas.Fashion houses spend a lot of time and money on new ideas,only to see these ideas copied for free by fast-fashion companies.Perhaps the greatest concern is the influence on the environment of wasted clothes.Buying twelve new sets of clothes rather than four means that more clothes will be thrown away.In addition,with fashions changing so quickly,cotton growers need to produce more cotton more cheaply,and that means using more chemicals.
At the other end of the fashion industry is designer clothing.At the same time as fast fashion is taking off in the West,Asian consumers are buying more and moer expensive,luxury brands.Many buy branded clothes just to show that they can afford them but others choose them for quality.What's your choice?We'd like to hear your comments about the fashion industry today.
 
32.According to the attraction of fast-fashion clothes for people?A
A.The low price.
B.The high quality.
C.The famous brand               
D.The mass production.
33.Who are against fast fashion?A
A.Fashion designers.
B.Clothes producers.
C.Customers                             
D.Retailers.
34.What is people's biggest worry about fast fashion?A
A.It is harmful to the environment.
B.It leads to bad consumption habits.
C.It decreases fashion shows'popularity.
D.It greatly influences the planting of other crops.
35.What is the author's attitude towards fast fashion?D
A.Worried.
B.Doubtful.
C.Surprised.
D.Objective.
