Ashley Power’s mother bought a computer for her when she was eight. When she was thirteen, she was surfing the Internet regularly, but she couldn’t find anywhere for teenagers to meet and talk. And one day she thought, “If I had my own website, I’d make it a really interesting site for teenagers.”
  So, when Ashley was sixteen, she launched her own website, called Goosehead. She had no idea how big a success it would be, but three years later, the site was the most successful teen site in the USA! It was getting 100,000 hits every day, and Ashley had about 30 employees.
  After a few years, the website closed down. Then Ashley, who lives in Los Angeles, was asked to write a book called The Goosehead Guide to Life. The book is about how to design a website and start a business. It begins with a section called “All About Ashley,” where Ashley tells readers what it is like to be the boss of a company when you are only sixteen. “I was so happy. But it was crazy in a lot of ways. I got very stressed. I mean, I was only sixteen—I didn't even have a car! If you were sixteen and you had your own company, you'd be stressed, too!”

〔1〕There are many useful suggestions and pieces of advice that can help one to improve English. Here are some useful suggestions and new tips to increase one’s English language vocabulary.
〔2〕Learning English vocabulary is about much more than just learning the right words. A broad grasp of vocabulary in the English language is based on understanding important expressions and “word combinations”, which means groups of words that often or always go together.
〔3〕Learning a word will not help very much if you quickly forget it. Research shows that it takes from 10 to 20 repetitions to really make a word part of your vocabulary. Since most words are learned from how they are used in context (上下文), the more words one is exposed to(接触), The easier one will find English to learn . Keep a writing pad close to you. When you read, pay close attention to the word you do not know, write the word down and try to figure out its meaning from the context. Then_______________________ in a dictionary.
〔4〕Remember that if you do not use English words that you have just learned in conversation or writing, you will forget them very quickly. So the best way to learn new words effectively is just by trying to use them in conversation and writing. Remember also that practice is the key to fluent spoken English.
〔5〕Building vocabulary is a life-long task. Remember, “In the beginning was the word.” Your future could depend on how rich your vocabulary is. It will also determine the quality of your communication.

There are so many good reasons to send a child to camp.
When children go to camp, they are on their own, sometimes for the very first time in their lives. They have to decide what to wear, what to eat and which activities to participate in. As a result they develop confidence and independence.
As self-respect develops from learning to be on their own, children continue to try new activities. Also it is possible that they will engage in what they are unfamiliar with. In school, children do not experience success in the same way. Camp can be a school without failure because just having fun makes them a success.
One of the greatest benefits of a camp experience is that children develop social skills. In a camp setting, a good counselor will make sure that every camper is included in the activity and that each child interacts with the others in a positive way. They learn the give and take , and they learn how to work and cooperate. Something as simple as clean-up, is not only there to get the cabin clean, but to promote a team atmosphere of working together which in turn results in friendship.
The obvious benefit of camp is that campers make long lasting friendships. These friendships can often be unique and special because campers are living with each other and see the true personalities. Children learn to see others from a different viewpoint. Children tend to be accepted for who they are and do not have to be concerned about what they wear, what they are good at and how they look. This is because in a camp setting, respect and caring finally win out over materialistic objectives. 
In a word, camp does give children fun, friends and fulfillment.

Brazil has become one of the developing world’s great successes at reducing population growth but more by accident than design. While countries such as India have made joint efforts to reduce birth rates, Brazil has had better result without really trying, says George Martine at Harvard.
Brazil’s population growth rate has dropped from 2.99% a year between 1951 and 1960 to 1.93% a year between 1981 to 1990, and Brazilian women now have only 2.7 children on average. Martine says this figure may have fallen still further since 1990, an achievement that makes it the envy of many other Third World countries.
Martine puts it down to, among other things, soap operas and installment plans introduced in the 1970s. Both played an important, although in direct, role in lowering the birth rate. Brazil is one of the world’s biggest producers of soap operas. Globo, Brazil’s most popular television network, shows three hours of soaps six nights a week, while three others show at least one hour a night. Most soaps are based on wealthy characters living the high life in big cities.
“ Although they have never really tried to work in a message towards the problems of reproduction, they describe middle and upper class values ---- not many children, different attitudes towards sex, women working,” says Martine. “ They sent this image to all parts of brazil and made people conscious of behavior and other values, which were put into a very attractive package.”
Meanwhile, the installment plans tried to encourage the poor to become consumers. “ This led to an enormous change in consumption patterns and consumption was incompatible with unlimited reproduction.” says Martine.
小题1:According to the passage, the two factors that lead to the success of population control in Brazil are _______________________________________.
小题2:The underlined phrase “ put down to ” in paragraph 3 has the closest meaning to _________________________________.
小题3:What made Brazil the envy of many other Third World countries?
_________________________________________________________________
小题4:Why did the author say that soap operas helped in lowering the birth rate?

[1] My high school, like many others, was extremely competitive not only in sports but also in academic subjects. The pressure of trying to get excellent grades while joining in extra-curricular activities could be great. Sometimes it seemed like I lived at school! When I was at home my time was spent doing homework. Some days I was so busy finishing a project that I could hardly see my families.
[2] I have a brother and a sister named Sally. She was nine years old. We used to see each other, but after I graduated from the primary school she attended, I saw her less and less. I tried to go to her gymnastic meets and soccer games, but I had my own play rehearsals(排练)and meetings.
[3] Then one day I came home, an empty house and I found a note from my mom. She was at my brother’s baseball game. However my sister was at her friend’s, and would be dropped off.
[4] At five o’clock I went to turn on the light on the front porch and saw my sister walking towards the door with her friend and her friend’s father. I heard them talking.
[5] “Is anyone at home?” the father asked.
[6] “Just my mean elder sister, Sara, and she’s probably in her room as usual,” my sister replied. I couldn’t believe it. I didn’t even know who this man and my sister was making me sound like one of Cinderella’s wicked (可恶的)stepsisters. I opened the door, thanked the father for _______________, then shut the door and started to cry.
[7] To make a long story short, a huge fight followed that ended with me driving my sister to her room. But I realized that what was worse than the fight was that I really hadn’t been a good elder sister.
[8] I had lost track (路线,方向)of what was important, and what really mattered. I had been fallen into a whirlpool(漩涡)of pressure and competition, and it took my sister’s honest observation to show me that the grades I got didn’t matter to everyone---certainly not to her. All that matters to her is that I’m her elder sister, and that’s what matters to me, too.

[1] Mental and health experts believe personality plays an important part in how we experience stress. Personality is the way a person acts, feels and thinks.
[2] Some people are aggressive and always in a hurry. They often become angry when things do not happen the way they planned. They are called “Type A” personalities. Studies suggest that these people often get stress-related disorders. The “Type B” personality is calmer. These people are able to deal with all kinds of situations more easily. As a result, they are less affected by stress.
[3] Studies have also shown that men and women deal with stress differently. Women seem to be better able to deal with stress than men are. However, experts say women are three times more likely to develop depression(抑郁) in reaction to the stress in their lives. American writer John Gray became famous for his book Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus(金星). He notes that men and women have opposite ways of dealing with stress. For a man, the best way is to rest and forget about daily problems. But a woman suffering from stress needs to talk about her problems.
[4] Experts say there are several ways to deal with stress, including deep breathing, exercise, eating healthy foods, getting enough rest and balancing the time spent working and playing. Exercise is one of the most effective stress- reduction measures, as physical changes from exercise make you feel better. In addition, exercise can also improve the body’s defense system against disease.
[5] Keeping stress to yourself can make problems worse. Experts say that expressing emotions to friends or family members or writing down your feeling can help reduce stress. And they also suggest that people should attempt to accept or change stressful situations whenever possible.

[1]People with lower intelligence are more likely to be unhappy than their brighter colleagues, according to UK researchers, Their study of 6,870 people showed low intelligence was often linked with lower income and poor mental health, which contributed to unhappiness. The researchers are calling for more help and support to be targeted at people with lower IQs. Their findings were published in the journal Psychological Medicine.
[2]The researchers analyzed data from the Adult Psychiatric Morbity Survey in England. One of the questions was:“Taking all things together, how would you say you were these days—very happy ,fairly happy or not too happy?” The highest part saying they were “        ”was found in people with an IQ between 120 and 129-43% said they were very happy..
[3]However, the highest proportion saying “not too happy”was found in people with an IQ between 70 and 79. The study said lower intelligence was linked to lower income, worse health and needing help with daily life, such as shopping or housework—all of which contributed to unhappiness.
[4]Dr Hassiotis said:“There is some evidence that long term strategies directed at young children from poor backgrounds can have a positive impact on IQ, wellbeing and life opportunities”. Such interventions(干涉)are likely to be costly, but the initial costs may be offset(抵消)by future benefits such as a reduced reliance on state benefits and better mental and physical health”.
[5]He added that the study was particularly helpful as it identified some of the factors(因素)that influence the association between IQ and happiness. The study also emphasized the interventions to prevent lower IQ leading to greater unhappiness.

When my friends went to college in great delight, I restarted my senior high school life.My spirit sank.Surrounded by strange classmates, I felt like I was in a maze and was sorry about myself.There were some complex feelings in my minds.I was frightened, nervous and lonely.
To make matters worse, I recalled my failure again and again, which put more pressure on me than I could bear.As a result, I was always feeling down during class time.
My teacher found me spiritless.One day he asked me to come to his office and told me about his attitude towards life: we might suffer from mistakes, but it’s important to learn lessons from them.All the pains and the embarrassing things we experience are part of the process.So keep up your spirit! At last, he added, “If you are optimistic, things you want may happen to you!”
Warmth rushed through my soul.I suddenly found the sun shining again when I stepped out of his office.
With the teacher’s help, I eventually got over my depression.From then on, I no longer bowed my head and began smiling to my classmates.I would put up my hand confidently in class and play with my new friends in my spare time.Meanwhile, I was gradually embraced by my classmates.
Now faced with fierce competition, we all study hard because we know that every second counts.Moreover, there is an atmosphere of mutual trust and respect between us.I love my class; I love my classmates!

Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.
Bicycle rental companies in Beijing are going broken, because nobody wants to hire their services. Major rental operators have invested about 100 million yuan ($14.7 million) in almost 20,000 bicycles but are now struggling to survive.
A spokesman from the Bird of Freedom Bicycle Rental said the company had already sold most of the 400 bicycles.“This is a difficult business, especially when it is cold.The cold weather almost killed the business.” he said.
Bigger rental companies are also facing challenges.Beijing Bicycle Rental Co. Ltd. which owns 8,000 bicycles, has invested more than 30 million yuan over the past year.Wang Yong, chairman of the group, said his company had not made a profit since it began in 2005.
Almost all bicycle rental companies in Beijing require deposits of 300 to 400 yuan and then customers need to pay 10 yuan or more per hour.“I don't want to pay 400 yuan to rent a bike.It's too dear,” said Zhang Yu, a student in Communication University of China, who does not own a bike and often takes motorized rickshaws.“If renting for one day will cost 20 yuan and I rent a bike for five days, I can use the money to buy a new one.”
Although facing economic ruin, some enterprises are still hoping that conditions will improve.
IbikeMedia, one of the biggest bicycle rental companies in China, also invested tens of millions yuan in Beijing and has more than 10,000 bicycles.Li Weiwei, general manager of IbikeMedia Beijing, said his company has a policy of no deposit and no payment.He said the company tried to put advertisements on the bicycles and in this way, they could make profits.But they had not made a profit yet because of its small scale.However, customers must pay 20 yuan per card and also show proof of good personal credit.
In early July, the Beijing municipal government announced plans to develop a 50,000­bicycle rental operation across the city.“The bigger network we have, the more citizens will rent bikes,” Li said.“This will make rental easier to citizens and we strongly need help from the government.”
小题1:In which season is the bicycle rental business the most difficult in Beijing? (No more than 2 words)

小题2:List the reasons why Zhang Yu is not willing to rent a bike.(No more than 6 words)
