“I didn't hear them call my name," explained Shelley Hennig to Active Teens (AT) as she talked about that exciting moment on national television when she won the honor of Miss Teen USA 2004. "Are you ready?" is what she heard. Then she said, "I shook my head no, and then they said 'yes' and it was announced again."
It was four days after that life changing moment for the seventeen-year-old high school student from Destrehan, Louisiana -- she was still on cloud nine.
"I was so shocked! I never believed that it could actually really happen." Present in the audience (觀眾) that day were: her mother and father, older brother, her friends, and her dance teacher.
Understanding why members of her family and her friends would be there, AT asked why her dance teacher had traveled so far to see her compete (比賽). "She's always been my role model. I've danced with her since I was six. She's been through so many difficulties and came through them all. I've learned to get over bad life's experiences and learned how to move on because of her."
One of those bad life's experiences for Shelley happened three years ago when her brother Brad was killed in a drunk driving accident. He was 18. She found writing helped her get through the rough days. She said, "I write a lot about my brother. I write a lot, a lot, a lot..."
As Miss Louisiana Teen, she traveled around the state speaking to teens (青少年) about the dangers of drinking and driving. In her role as Miss Teen USA, Shelley will continue to speak to youth about safe driving, in addition to many other things to help the youth.
When AT asked Miss Teen USA if she had any advice for our readers, she said, "Don't let anyone change you. Hang out with people that make you feel good about yourself. That way, it is easy to be yourself."
小題1:What do the words "on cloud nine" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．frightenedB．troubledC．very happyD．very angry
小題2:Shelley takes her dance teacher as a role model mainly because she is ________.
A．determinedB．friendlyC．strictD．experienced

When we read books we seem to enter a new world. This new world can be similar to the one we are living in, or it can be very  31  .Some stories are told 32 they were true.

They are characters and creatures that are very different from us and do things that would be 35 for us.
But there is more to books and writing than this. If we think about it, even realistic writing is only 36 . How can we tell the difference between what is real and what is not real? For example, when we read about Harry Potter ,we  37 seem to learn something about the real world. And when Harry studies magic at Hogwarts, he also learns more about his real life than  38 . Reading, like writing, is an action. It is a way of  39 . When we read or write something ,we do much more than simple look at words on a page.

I remember the first time that I was extremely happy. I was about 8 years old when for the first time, there was a computer in the classroom. I remember that my teacher allowed each student to take turns playing various educational games on the computer. One day, I found the source code (密碼) for one of these games. Without knowing or being taught any programming language, I was able to figure out some portions of the BASIC code.
Anyone who knows a bit of programming can tell you that I just give myself an infinite (無窮大) number of lives in the game, so I can continue playing forever. This was also my first introduction to algebra (代數(shù)), and I didn’t even know it at the time. This was a decisive (決定性的) moment in my life. For the first time that I can remember, I was quite happy because of what I was learning and what I was able to do. As a result, I became enthusiastic for the rest of my life about self-learning and computers, and I was quite happy doing them, too.
I’ve noticed that people who are truly content with life are enthusiastic in what they do. This enthusiasm, along with good health, is the key to being happy. It also leads to self-confidence and fulfillment in life, too. It may also lead to success, wealth, and achievements.
Yes, success, wealth, or achievements seem to bring some people happiness, too. Yet, I don’t think they can indeed make people happy. I know plenty of people who are successful and wealthy. However, I also know several of the people with successful businesses are not happy with what they are doing. I know people who continuously buy themselves new toys, cars, computers, and televisions, yet they never seem content for too long.
Please remember that happiness comes from enthusiasm, and happiness is the journey of life, not the destination.
小題1:What did the writer’s teacher ask the students to do on the computer?
A．To play various educational games.B．To figure out the BASIC code.
C．To get the knowledge of algebra.D．To read some latest news.
小題2:The underlined word in Paragraph 1 probably can be replaced by ______.
A．dangerB．partsC．healthD．value
小題3:According to the author, what can lead a person to be happy?
A．Success and wealth
B．Education and self-confidence.
C．Knowledge and achievements
D．Enthusiasm and good health.
小題4:The author uses his own experience of being happy in order to tell us ______.
A．it’s very easy to learn the BASIC code
B．he has always been happy since his childhood
C．concentrating on what you love makes you happy
D．one can solve any problem in life by himself
小題5:What’s the main idea of the last but one paragraph?
A．Wealth cannot bring any people any happiness.
B．Rich people easily feel unhappy nowadays.
C．One will become unhappy once he gets what he wants.
D．Success, wealth, or achievements can’t indeed make people happy.

When I was younger it seemed that the super hero was Batman or Spiderman. As I grew up, I looked to real people with some of these qualities to be my super hero including being strong, honest, friendly, brave, skilled, hardworking, and reliable. The person I think of when I hear these words is my dad.
My dad is one of the toughest people I have ever met. He has been through it all. When I was five, 60 percent of his body was burned. In 1999 he fell from a tree, breaking his arm and shattering his ankle. In 2004, he had a liver transplant (移植) after being on the list for six years after a bad blood transfusion that gave him Hepatitis C. Now, my dad is 45 years old and feels better than he has in 15 years.
My dad is one of the most reliable people I know. Anything I ask of him, he does. Whenever he tells me he is going to do something, it is always done before I get home from work. Whenever I need my dad, he is there. When I was ten and he told me my grandmother was going to die, I felt really down. He was the one there trying to cheer me up.
My dad has worked hard for everything he has. At home, he is always busy doing projects and has painted every room in our house. After our shop was built, he constructed an office you would think a professional built. When I do something stupid, he helps me fix it. Of course, he does his complaining, but I know he likes fixing things just as much as I like tearing them up.
My dad has been one of the greatest parts of my life. I have learned a lot from watching him and I don’t believe I will ever meet anyone like him. I hope when I grow up, I can possess the same qualities as my dad, and have someone look up to me as a good role model. This is why my dad is my hero. 
小題1:The author describes his father as reliable mainly _________.
A．by appearanceB．by exampleC．by comparisonD．by behavior
小題2:What does the underlined word “shattering” mean in Paragraph 2?
A．breakingB．transplantingC．burningD．destroying
小題3:The second paragraph is mainly about ___________?
A．the reasons why 60% of Father’s body was burned.
B．the successful skin transplant in 2010.
C．the sufferings Father has gone through in the last 15years.
D．the operations that Father had through his 45 years of struggle
小題4:Which of the following can best describe the father?
A．busy, tough and reliableB．strong, skilled and optimistic

Life is full of change, and this leads to growth. Change is what keeps our lives moving, and allows us to achieve what we desire and deserve. Like it or not, we need to be willing to go with the flow, and be adaptable when something doesn’t go according to plan. A catalyst is a person that causes something else to happen, and if you’re not currently a catalyst for change, here are some things you can do to become one.
Take a look at what you’ve got going on in your life right now. Write down everything that comes to mind. Is there anything that jumps out at you that you're not content with? Is there something that isn't moving forward as quickly as you would like it to? Identifying what you want to change is the first step to getting somewhere with it.
Take the initiative to make change happen. Once you have identified what you want to work on changing, write down several possible "next steps" you can take to realizing that change. Whatever it is you want to change, you won't get very far without having specific actions in mind to carry out. Start small, and then focus on items that are a bit more involved or difficult and just keep going!
When carrying out a change, it’s great if you’re able to bounce ideas off other people, particularly if they can help you implement that change in some way. Be receptive to feedback, but realize that others’ opinions are not golden. Also remember to give feedback when asked for it. Be sure it's genuine and that you are able to stand behind it.
Create an environment for change. There is nothing more discouraging than trying to create change in an environment that is not conducive to it. It’s like trying to stick to a diet in a house that is filled with chips, cookies, ice cream and chocolate; you are just making it more difficult for yourself.
Change is good, and often leads to process improvement, increased productivity and efficiency. Take the initiative, and make changes to your life to get to where you want to go faster than you are going right now.
小題1:If you decide to change, you should start by _________.
A．going with the flow
B．changing from day to day
C．writing down good ideas
D．making sure you know what to change
小題2:Which of the following is TRUE, according to the fourth paragraph?
A．One should accept others’ opinions uncritically.
B．One should be cautious about the opinions of others.
C．It’s more important to get than to give feedback.
D．Change may not happen without ideas from other people.
小題3:The underlined words “bounce ideas off other people” in the fourth paragraph probably mean
“_________”.
A．get approval from others
B．get your ideas across to other people
C．get others’ feedback about your ideas
D．carry out your ideas without the help of others
小題4:What can we infer from the text?
A．Change benefits us in different ways.
B．Creating a good environment is the most important step.
C．It’s discouraging to try to change one’s environment.
D．Being a catalyst for change is risky but rewarding.
小題5:Which would be the best title for the text?
A．How to achieve what you desire.
B．How to be a catalyst for change.
C．How to act according to your plans.
D．How to move in the right direction.
