How to Enjoy Life As a Teen

The "best years of your life"?Maybe not,but you can learn to make the most of your high school days.

Learn to appreciate small things.Whether it's having a computer,having friends,having a good supply of food,a bed to sleep on,family that loves you,having a decent education or simply being born in this world,value it.1.Be happy,and life will reward you.Remember that these are the last few years you will be able to enjoy yourself without having to worry about the responsibility of an adult,but make sure you prepare yourself for when you do become one. When you actually become an adult,you'll learn to love that responsibility and you probably never want to go back.

Choose your friends wisely. Unlike what many articles state,you don't have to be popular and have a gazillion friends to be happy.2.Try to have friends that like you who you are,not just because you are wearing a certain brand of shoes or something like that.These are people who shop at the same store as you; not someone who will sympathize with you when your dog dies.

Keep your grades up.3.This also sets you up to get into a college you want to go to,which in turn prepares you for a career you will enjoy,improving your quality of life in the future.You'll get cheap car insurance as well if you have at least a B or A average.

4.Participating in clubs,activities,and sports increases your chances of meeting new friends.While you only need 4 or 5 close friends,that doesn't mean you shouldn't try to meet new people.Participating gives you something to do instead of sitting bored at home and wallowing in self-pity.

Work at a job you can enjoy.Working is a great way co gain experience and to meet other people.5.This will look great on your resume.If you can't find work,especially in this hard economic time,volunteer or make your own job.

A.Be sociable.

B.Remember the point of life is for you to enjoy it.

C.Find a hobby that is meaningful or practical.

D.In fact,many of the "friends" you have when you are popular are not true friends.

E.When you do get out of college, interviewing companies will look at your previous work experience.

F.Even though you want to enjoy your teen life as best as possible,don't idle away your time in school.

G.There is nothing more satisfying than seeing your hard work pay off in the form of A's and B's (but mainly A's).

Rebecca, who is a 25-year-old woman, has a rare condition. She can remember all the events she has experienced in her life. The events are so vivid(生動的), as if they happened just moments ago. But her vivid memories often become a reality. Rebecca said, “When I relive(再想起) memories, the emotions come back. So if it’s something that happened when I was younger, my emotions are about what I felt then. I also re-experience pain. For example, I remember falling over and hurting my left knee when I was three. When talking about it now, I’m getting pain in my left knee.”

However, there are times when Rebecca’s memories prove to be too overwhelming(壓倒性的), and she has learnt relaxation and mindfulness(聚精會神) techniques to solve. “At school, it is a hindrance. I’m not very quick at processing(處理) things, so there is always so much going through my mind. At night, I have to sleep with the radio on and a soft light. If it’s too dark or quiet, my mind just recalls(再回憶起) all these memories and I can’t sleep,” Rebecca said.

In addition, Rebecca has no control over whether the memories she recalls will be positive or negative – recalling painful experiences with such vividness that she has suffered from post-traumatic (創(chuàng)傷后的) stress disorder. Rebecca said, “Recently, I went back to my old school for my sister’s high school graduation. Being in that building again brought all those memories flooding back. I burst into tears and had to leave.”

Rebecca and her mother Mrs. Barnes got in touch with the University of California in 2011. It was there that Rebecca knew she had Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory (HSAM). It’s reported that Rebecca is one of just 80 people worldwide, who have HASM. “Finding out about HASM has been such a positive experience. Now, Rebecca has been more positive and able to do things independently, which has been excellent,” Mrs. Barnes said.

1.What’s wrong with Rebecca?

A. She hardly sleeps well at night.

B. She usually gets hurt easily by others.

C. She can’t distinguish between reality and dreams.

D. Her vivid memories lead her to experience sufferings.

2.What does the underlined word “hindrance” mean in Paragraph 2?

A. priority(優(yōu)先權) B. advantage.

C. difficulty. D. opportunity.

3.What can we learn from Paragraph 3?

A. Rebecca had a strong dislike of going to school.

B. Rebecca was moved to tears at her sister’s graduation.

C. Rebecca and her sister once studied in the same school.

D. Rebecca enjoyed a happy life during her high school years.

4.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that Rebecca_____.

A. has got her life improved gradually

B. was influenced by her mother to be positive

C. was admitted into the University of California

D. became well-known due to her rare condition

She’s rarely seen without an elegant handbag on her arm, but the question of what the Queen keeps inside it has long remained a mystery. Now a new book claims to cast light on the contents of the royal matriarch’s main possession.

What’s In The Queen’s Handbag: And Other Royal Secrets reveals that though the 81-year-old British monarch(君主) doesn’t carry cash, keys or passport—since she doesn’t own one—her bag is far from empty. Inside are a collection of little presents from her children, a make-up case, some family photos, and a camera sometimes. There’s also an s-shaped metal hook that she places on the dinner table’s edge to hang her bag from so that it doesn’t touch the floor.

Should you ever meet the Queen, it’s not what’s in her bag but what she does with it that should concern you. She uses her bags, of which she has about 200 made by London-based firm Launier, to send signals to her staff.

Before dining with Queen, a point is made to inform guests that dinner will end in about five minutes after she places her bag on the table top.

On walkabouts, she holds the bag to one side to show she intends to move on, at which point a lady-in-waiting joins the conversation, allowing her to slip away without causing offence.

When at a banquet, if the Queen’s bag is placed on the floor then it’s a sign that she’s not finding the conversation interesting, and wants nothing more than to escape. However, if the royal bag is dangling happily from the crook of her left arm, she is happy and relaxed.

1.What does the article tell us about the Queen’s handbag?

A. She seldom has it with her.

B. She always carries the same handbag.

C. It used to be thought empty.

D. Its contents are not the same as ours.

2.When is it necessary for the Queen to convey her intention with her bag?

A. When she is with guests. B. When she eats outside.

C. When she has her staff around. D. When she is tired of speaking.

3.The Queen gives no signal when she ________.

A. hangs her bag on the metal hook B. hangs her bag from her left arm

C. places her bag on the floor D. puts her bag on the table top

4.“What’s In The Queen’s Handbag: And Other Royal Secrets ” is italicized（用斜體寫）because that’s ________.

A. he very title of the article

B. the name of a book

C. the main information given in the article

D. what the writer wants to stress

If you are hungry,what do you do?Grab a piece of your favorite meal and stay quiet after that?Just like your stomach,even your mind is hungry.But it never lets you know,because you keep it busy thinking about your dream lover,favorite star and many such absurd things.So it silently began to pay careful attention to your needs and never let itself grow.When mind loosens its freedom to grow,creativity gets a full stop.

This might be the reason why we all sometimes think “What happens next?”,“Why can't I think?”,“Why am I always given the difficult problems?”Well this is the result of our own karma（宿命）of using our brain for thinking of not-so-worthy things.

Now this seed is unknowingly used by you in your future to develop new ideas.The same seed if used many times,can help you link and relate a lot of things,of which you would have never thought of in your wildest dreams! This is nothing lout creativity.The more the number of books you read,the more your mind will open up.Also this improves your speaking skills to a large extent and also makes a significant contribution to your vocabulary.Within no time you start speaking English or any language fluently with your friends or other people and you never seem to run out of the right words at the right time.
