I learned to play the guitar at 11 and I wrote my first song four years later. My dream was to become a country singer.After years of hard work, a record company was showing interest in me. One day during a trip to mountains, a friend offered me a bit of meth, a kind of drugs(毒品). I smoked it. And that was all that I thought about for the next year and a half. I couldn’t live without it.When the police came to me, I looked like death. The first seven days in prison, I just slept. When I woke up on the eighth day, I had never known such shame and guilt(罪恶感). I walked down the hall to the pay phone. My mama is the sweetest person on the earth, and I knew this was going to break her heart. When I heard hervoice on the phone, I told her where I was. She just said, ―Son, don’t you know you can’t do anything to make me not love you?‖Her words gave me the confidence to face my trouble. And I also realized this was my chance to start a new life.When people hear my words, I hope they will not make the same mistake as I have, but I do know that you can overcome almost anything, especially smoking drug.

But back then he was the one always made fun of in school gym classes in Devonshire, England.It was a mountain bike he received for his 15th birthday that changed him. At first he went biking alone in a nearby forest. Then he began to ride the bike along with a runner friend. Gradually, Saunders set up his mind on building up his body, increasing his speed and strength. At the age of 18, he ran his first marathon.The following year he met John Ridgway and started to work as an instructor at Ridgway’s school of adventure（冒险）in Scotland, where he learnt about Ridgway’s cold-water exploits. Greatly interested, Saunders read all he could about North Pole explorers and adventures, he decided that this would be his future.In 2001, after becoming a skillful skier, Saunders started his first long-distance expedition （探险）towards the North Pole. It took unbelievable energy. He suffered frostbite（冻伤）, ran into a polar bear and pushed his body to the limit, pulling his sled up and over the rocky mountains.Saunders has since become the youngest person to ski alone to the North Pole, and he’s skied more of the North Pole by himself than any other British man.

There are hundreds of skills to help you read more in lesstime. Here are two skills that I think are especially good.Preview—if it’s long and hard. Previewing isespecially useful for getting a general idea of heavy reading like long magazine articles and business reports.Here’s how to preview.Read the first two paragraphs and the last two paragraphs carefully.Then read only the first sentence of the other paragraphs.Previewing doesn’t give you all the details. It keeps you from spending time on things you don’t really want －or need －or read.Skim－if it’s short and simple. Skimming is a goodway to get a general idea of light reading like popularmagazines or the sports and entertainment of your daily paper.Here’s how to skim.Get your eyes to move fast. Sweep them across eachline.Pick up only a few key words in each line.Everybody skims differently. You and I may not pick up the same words when we skim the same piece, but we’ll get a similar idea of what it’s all about.48. How many skills does the writer introduce to help us in reading?A. One.B.

Often teachers andparents cannot handle them because they don’tunderstand and know teenagers, especially their wishes,problems or different moods in a short time. They needto think about questions like these: Should we go tocollege? What kind of job do I want? However, otherpeople also influence their choices. Who influences teenagers?It depends on the kind of choice. When teenagers buy things, friends are the most important influence. This is especially true for clothes and music. TV shows, advertisements and parents also influence teenagers. In more serious things, parents are probably the most important influence. Some teenagers say it’s best to regard both parents and friends as influences. James, a seventeen-year-old boy says he’s―just a crazy man ‖. He also says, ―Parents are really important because they can tell you what ’s right and wrong.‖But teenagers also feel they need to make choices —to make their own mistakes. As one teenager girl said, ―If our parents don ’t let us make our own choices, maybe in the future we don ’t know how to do it.‖ And they feel friends can often be a big help, especially because friends sometimes know more about their situation than their parents.51.

There are two reasons —land and wood. In many countries the trees have been cut down because the land was needed for animals or crops. In other parts of the world the trees are cut down because their wood is wanted. This wood is used by local people for firewood or it is used for building. But many people don’t know that in most places the trees won’t be replaced. The soil in the forests is very thin, but it is protected by the trees. When the trees are cut down, the soil is washed away by the rain or blown away by the wind. Soon nothing can be grown on it. The forest becomes a desert. Then more land will be needed, and more trees will be cut down.When the forest is destroyed, it isn’t only the trees that are lost —the homes of millions of animals and plants are destroyed, too. All kinds of animals are in danger —fish，reptiles, birds, mammals, insects, and shellfish —as well as thousands of plants.Who is to blame for this? The answer is simple: all of us. There are just too many people in the world. The world’s population is now six billion. Of course, it’s very easy to blame the local people. We don’t cut down trees. They do. But the products are bought by people like you and me —wood houses, beds, tables, chairs, paper…Why are the forests being destroyed? Just look around. You are probably using it right now.51.

Nowadays games on the net are very popular with college students. Some of my roommates are very interested in them. They not only play games in their free time, but also keep talking about them at night when lights are off, and they regard games as a part of their life. I’ve asked them to give it up, but they wouldn’t listen to me. It has become a rather big problem. Should I report it to our teachers or do something else?TedDear Ted,Drop it. Your roommates, as grown—ups, can do whatever they want with their time so long as it doesn’t break school rules or violate(妨碍)other people’s interests.Playing perhaps gives these students relaxation from hard study. If they play too often and have little time to study, they will reap what they have sown（自食其果）, but you will not. Reporting to the teachers would only harm your good name in your dormitory(宿舍). However, you have rights to ask your roommates to be quiet when you need sleep. If they aren’t angry with you, they will stop talking. But be polite and friendly. Perhaps, in return, join them in a game or two.Victor51.
