    A boy was sent by his parents to a boarding (寄宿) school. Before being sent away, this boy was the 1 student in his class. He was at the top in every competition. But the boy 2after he attended the boarding school. His grades started dropping. He hated being in a group. He was3all the time. And sometimes he even felt like killing himself. All of this was because he felt no one4him.

    His parents started worrying about the boy. So his5decided to travel to the school and talk with him. His dad said, "Do you know6I am here today, son?"

The boy answered back, "To check my grades."

    "No, no," his dad replied, "I am here to tell you that you are the most important person for me. I want to see you happy. I care about7. I care about your happiness. You are my life."

    These words caused the boy's eyes to fill8tears. He hugged (拥抱) his dad. They didn't say9to each other for a long time.

    If you want to become a better reader, what should you know about speed of reading?

    Some people read very rapidly(快速地), while others read very slowly. But which one is better?

    The rapid reader may be a good reader when he reads a storybook for fun. But he may not be able to slow down enough to read directions carefully. He may read so rapidly that he does not take time to understand fully the ideas and information which are important to remember.

    The slow reader may be a good reader when he reads directions for making something. But he may spend too much time in reading a simple story which is meant to be enjoyed but is not important enough to be remembered.

    So, you see, either a rapid reader or a slow reader is not really a good one. If you wish to become a better reader, here are four important things to remember about speed of reading.

    1)Knowing why you are reading will often help you to know whether to read rapidly or slowly.

    2)Some things should be read slowly throughout. Examples are directions for making or doing something, science and history books, and Maths problems. You must read such things slowly or remember each important step and understand each important idea.

    3)Some things should be read rapidly throughout. Examples are simple stories for enjoyment, letters from friends and bits of news from hometown papers.

4)In some of your reading, you must change your speed from fast to slow and slow to fast, as you go along. You will need to read certain pages rapidly and then slow down and do more careful reading when you come to important ideas.

    Time flies. Your time in junior high school will come to an end in a few months. Let's look back over the last three years. What were the highs and lows?

    For Zhang Xiaomeng, a senior high school girl from Jiangsu, meeting her best friend Hua Xuan was the best part of her time at junior high school. They went to class together, had lunch together, and even went to the washroom together.Having one or two best friends is important, said Xu Zheng, a teacher from Jiangsu. "Students have secrets.They don't want to tell their parents," Xu added. However, being too rebellious (叛逆的) in junior high is the biggest regret for Liu Anqing, a senior high school student from Fujian. "I didn't listen to my parents.I quarreled with my mother every week, " said Liu. "I wish I could go back to that time and get on well with them." Time also needs to be taken care of.Zhang Zihua, 15, from Shanxi, thought he had plenty of time to prepare for the big exam at the end of Junior 3.Then one day, he was told: "The exam is in 100 days." "We need a strong knowledge base to pass the exam.But I didn't care about it," said Zhang. Gu Xiaoli, a teacher from Jiangsu, said that it's never too late to catch up. "No matter your regrets about wasted time, you can always pick things up from now," said Gu.

    To travel around the world is the dream of many adventurous（有冒险精神的） people. But very few people can afford a global tour because hotels, food and airplane tickets are too expensive. Some people, however, have thought of some ways to realize their dreams.

    Laura Cody and Tanbay Theune, a couple from Britain, decided to travel around the world. They have found a good way to pay for their trips. They look after pets for rich house owners. In exchange, they can stay in the houses for free. They have looked after horses, cows, cats, dogs and fish. In two years, the couple has been to Australia, Germany, Spain and Italy. They have stayed in big cities and small villages. The home owners are usually generous and have given them food, wine and day trips.

    Another person who tries to realize her travel dream is photographer Rhiannon Taylor. She travels around the world to visit, review and take photos of the best hotels. She shares the places she stays and the food she eats on the Internet with tens of thousands of followers.

    With these ways of making money, traveling around the world is no longer a dream. More and more young people are thinking creatively to make their dream come true.

    In order to tell what I believe, I must bring up something from my personal history.

    The turning point of my life was my decision to give up my promising business job and study music. My parents didn't think it was a good choice I took up music as a job. Considering my family background, this was understandable. My grandfather had taught music for forty years at Spring Hill College. Although he was much loved by his students, he didn't earn(挣钱) enough to provide for his large family. As a result of this example in the family, my parents strongly asked me to the college instead of a music school, and so to college I went.

    Before my graduation from Columbia, the family ran into some money problems and I felt it was my duty to leave college and find a job. That was why I took a business job, which I always think of as the wasted years. I went into it for money, for being able to help the family. Money is all I got out of it. It was not enough. I felt that life was passing me by. I became very sad.

    My wish was to save enough money to quit(退出) and go to Europe to study music. I continued to make money, and finally, little by little, I saved enough to go abroad.

    At that time, my family got out of the trouble. ____________, and so I gave up my position and sailed for Europe. I stayed four years, worked harder than I had ever dreamed of working before, and enjoyed every minute of it.

    "Enjoyed" is too soft a word. I walked on air. I really lived. When I broke away from business, it was against the advice of all my friends and family, but if I had stayed in business, I do not believe I would have made a success of living.

    Money is a wonderful thing, but now I know that it is possible to pay too high a price for it.

    Diet and way of life are often a problem for teenagers. However, you eat the right food and exercise more, you can feel better, look better and have more energy. So healthy eating along with regular exercise is ( probable) the only way to become fit.

    As a teenager, it is important to give your body the energy needs. For a healthy diet, you should eat mostly rice, bread, vegetables and fruit. You also need to drink a lot of water — six to eight glasses a day.

    (drink) enough water will improve your skin and give you (health) hair.

    Exercise is something can help to make you look good, feel good and be healthy. Teenagers should spend at least 30 minutes exercising, five times a week. Walking and riding your bike count, and so do school (sport). When you exercise, your body produces some things that make you feel peaceful and (relax) and increase your ability to concentrate when you study. These things can even help you sleep better at night. A good amount of sleep every night (be) also important for your health. Teenagers need eight to ten hours of sleep each night.

    If you follow the suggestions above, you will look and feel much (good) in no time at all.
