Most children who have suffered from ADHD still have it as teens. During teen years, especially as the hormonal changes of teenagers are going on and the demands of school and extra-curricular activities are increasing, ADHD may get worse.
Because of problems with getting unfocused and poor concentration, many teens with ADHD have problems in school. Grades may fall, especially if the teen is not getting ADHD treatment. It’s not uncommon for teens with ADHD to forget their homework, lose textbooks, and become bored with their daily class work. Teens may become inattentive or extremely attentive, not waiting for their turn before blurting out answers. They may cut in on their teacher and classmates. Teens with ADHD may also befidgetyand find it hard to sit still in class.
Often, teens with ADHD are so busy focusing on other things that they forget about the task at hand. This can be seen especially with homework and athletic skills and in relationships with their schoolmates. This lack of attention to what they’re doing often leads to bad grades on tests and being passed over for sports teams, after-school activities, and learning teams. Kids with ADHD can be targets for bullying, too. But, not all children with ADHD have trouble getting along with others. If your child does, you can take measures to help improve their social skills and relationships.

The annual 3-to-4-millimeter rise in sea levels is expected to impact many coastal communities in the coming decades. However, few are as defenceless as the Republic of theMaldives, a collection of more than a thousand picturesque islands in theIndian Ocean. NASA researchers believe that parts of what is “arguably the lowest-lying country in the world” will become uninhabitable by 2050, due to wave-driven flooding and limited freshwater. To fight the unavoidable, the government recently revealed plans for the world's first 'true' floating island city.
The aptly-named Maldives Floating City (MFC) is the brainchild of Dutch Docklands, a global leader in floating infrastructure (基建). According to the March 13, 2021, announcement, the new city will be constructed on a 200-hectare lagoon (环礁湖) located just 10 minutes by boat from the Maldivian capital, Male. It will initially consist of a thousand waterfront residences, arranged in a series of honeycomb-like maze rows. The developers plan to add hotels, restaurants, shops, and even a school and a hospital in the near future. The floating structures. will be attached to the surrounding islands, which will form a base and provide protection from high tides.
Maldive officials aim to make MFC as self-sufficient as possible. Freshwater storage will provide drinking water for residents, while floating solar blankets and agriculture fields will take care of their energy and food needs.
“ThisMaldivesFloatingCitydoes not require any land rehabilitation, therefore has a minimal impact on the coral reefs,” explains Mohamed Nasheed, Speaker of Parliament. “What's more, giant, new reefs will be grown to act as water breakers. In theMaldives,we cannot stop the waves, but we can rise with them.”
Construction of the revolutionary city is expected to begin in 2022 and be completed in phases over the next five years. If successful, it will provide a blueprint for other countries facing a similar situation.
8. Why doesMaldivesdecide to build MFC?
A. It is the lowest-lying country.
B. It will be flooded soon.
C. It is running out of fresh water.
D. It will be unsuitable for living.
9. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The prospect of MFC.
B. The developers of the plan.
C. The location of the residences.
D. The barriers to the construction.
10. What can we infer from the underlined words?
A. MFC will keep waves away.
B. MFC will make use of waves.
C. MFC will adjust to the waves.
D. MFC will work as water breakers.
11. What's the writing purpose of this passage?
A. To introduce a construction program.
B. To appeal to people to protect nature.
C. To seek international help forMaldives.
D. To report the achievement of a city plan,
D
Over the years, NASA has successfully sent several rovers (飞行器) to Mars. While the science laboratories continue to provide important information on the Red Planet, they keep the space exploration rovers staying closeto the original landing place.To get a more comprehensive (详尽的) view of Mars, the US Space Agency plans to make a small test helicopter with the Mars 2020 Rover, which will be sent off in July 2020.
The football-sized “marscopter” weighs about four pounds.It can fly at about ten times the speed of helicopters on Earth. The light weight and fast speed are important for the helicopter to be able to fly in the thin Mars atmosphere, which is about just one percent of that of Earth. “To make it fly in that thin Mars atmosphere, we had to make everything ready, and make it as light as possible while being as strong and powerful as it can possibly be. “Mimi Aung, Mars helicopter project manager, said in a meeting.
Upon landing on the Red Planet, the Mars 2020 Rover will find a proper location to send of the helicopter. The helicopter will start with a short climb, no higher than 10 feet, and hover (盘旋) for just 30 seconds before landing back on the Mars surface. If all goes well, five more flights of longer distances, for 90 seconds each, will be conducted over the next 30 days. The short journeys will be recorded by a small camera and sent back to the scientists on Earth.
If the plan goes on well, the first helicopter to fly in another world, will open up a whole new way to explore Mars. The Mars helicopter's first flight will be a great invention. For those of us whose research is about flight, that would be a wonderful, historic moment.
12. To fly in thin Mars atmosphere，we should make the helicopter_______.
A. strong and heavy
B. heavy and fast
C. light and fast
D. strong and slow
13. How many times will the helicopter fly?
A. Three times
B. Four times
C. Five times
D. Six times
14. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. It’s interesting to fly in another world.
B. I' s important to fly in another world.
C. The plan to fly the helicopter goes on well.
D. The helicopters first flight is successful.
15. What may be the best title for the passage?
A. To send a helicopter to Mars in 2020
B. To send a rover to Mars in 2020
C. To live in the thin Mars atmosphere
D. To send back records to scientists

Teenagers and Grammar
Say the word “grammar” to teenagers and you might be met by yawns (哈欠) or icy looks in their eyes._____16_____Here are some ideas for making grammar teaching more teen-friendly.
Break down negativity (消极性).
If your students are unwillingto learn grammar, show them why it’s necessary. Record someone (yourself or a teen) using correct words and phrases but confusing grammar. And then ask them what the problem is._____17_____And then ask them to make sense of them.
Use texts.
Present grammar in the context of a reading text. This way it’s easier to see how the language is used and work out the meaning from the context._____18_____Therefore, choose a text which will interest your learners.
_____19_____
Whenever possible, find interesting ways to practice grammar such as online games and videos. Grammar can be presented in an animated (动画的) video and explained in a conversation-style text. There are also online practice exercises.
Choose the right level.
Often teenagers get bored if tasks are too easy, or lose interest if they are too difficult._____20_____In a
mixed-ability class this might mean having different tasks prepared for stronger and weaker students, which means a bit more extra preparation time on the teacher’s part, but the pay-off is usually well worth it.
Working on grammar with teenagers can be challenging, but with a bit of preparation it can be very rewarding, for them and for you!
A. Find interesting ways to practice.
B. Ask students how they prefer to learn.
C. Getting the level of challenge right is necessary.
