All of us go through some difficult times as we approach teenage years. It’s the age when we have to deal with the most 36 in our life. This transition (过渡) from childhood to adulthood is 37 for some, but rough for others. The most important thing about being a teenager is 38 . When we are teenagers, we would get blamed or even punished for anything wrong we do. Unlike before when we were small kids, even if we made a big trouble, we didn’t need to pay anything for it.
It’s all not so 39 about being a teenager though. We don’t have to have our 40 take us to somewhere we want to go or we couldn’t go before. We can have 41 with friends or even alone, which we couldn’t have because we were too 42 to know what pleasure is! It’s a very enjoyable time of life. During this age, we are old enough to 43 what is good for us, and make decisions by ourselves without 44 others.
But like the saying goes “All good things must come to an end, but all bad things can continue 45 .” During this period, we are having much 46 for our studies. If we don’t pass, we won’t get jobs, and things will take a turn for the 47 . With the present world economy in 48 , we have to do really, really well in our 49 for a job. Adults say that their 50 is the hardest part of life. But I think the transition from a kid to an adult is much 51 than being already an adult. What we do in our teenage years will 52 what we become and how we lead our life in the future.
In conclusion, it is quite 53 that parents put much pressure on an already stressed out teenager. If they realized that, living condition for teenagers would be much better. 54 for the teens ourselves we should get to know what is best for us. What’s more, we should understand the right 55 of life we choose at this age can make us happy for the rest of our existence. 36. A. chances B. changes C. feelings D. expectations 37. A smooth B. practical C. demanding D. necessary 38. A. knowledge B. independence C. confidence D. responsibility 39. A. easy B. strange C. bad D. interesting 40. A. guides B. partners C. parents D. friends 41. A. fun B. trouble C. relation D. business 42. A. proud B. young C. smart D. mature 43. A. predict B. remember C. imagine D. understand 44. A guiding B. helping C. inviting D. consulting 45. A. occasionally B. temporarily C. forever D. increasingly 46. A. pressure B. passion C. motivation D. panic 47. A. better B. worse C. fewer D. more

48. A. decline B. hope C. increase D. debt
49. A. contribution B. education C. application D. qualification 50. A. promotion B. work C. experience D. age 51. A. harder B. happier C. easier D. lighter 52. A. reflect B. confirm C. determine D. identify 53. A. vital B. urgent C. common D. unnecessary 54. A. Thus B. Although C. While D. Because 55. A. print B. way C. condition D. power

Steve knew he’d been adopted as a baby, and when he turned 18, in 2003, he decided he’d try to track down his birth mother. The agency from which he’d been adopted gave him his mother’s name, Tallady. But online searches didn’t turn up any results about it, and Steve had to let it go.
In 2007, though, he searched for the name again online. This time, the search results included a home address near the Lowe’s store where Steve, then 22, worked as a deliveryman. When he mentioned the coincidence to his boss, his boss said, “You mean Tallady who works here?”
Steve and Tallady, a cashier, had said hello to each other a few times at the store, but they’d never really talked. He hadn’t even known her name. Steve thought there was no possible way she was his mother though they shared the same name. For a few months, Steve avoided Tallady. “I wasn’t sure how to approach her,” he told a local reporter. Finally, the agency volunteered to arrange their reunion.
When Tallady realized that the nice guy she’d been waving at was his son, she sobbed. She’d always hoped to meet her birth son one day. Later that day, mother and son talked for almost three hours at a nearby bar. She’d given him up for adoption in 1985, when she was 23. “I wasn’t ready to be a mother,” she told him. Married with two other children, Tallady says, “I have a complete family now.”

40 40 years. But there are a couple of things you should know. Red- eared can grow to an adult size of up to 30cm! So you may need a larger tank quickly.

For the first time, researchers have discovered that some plants can kill insects in order to get additional nutrients. New research shows that they catch and kill small insects with their own sticky hairs near the roots and then absorb nutrients through their roots when the insects are killed and fall to the ground.
Professor Mark Chase, of Kew and Queen Mary, University of London, said, “The cultivated (改良的) tomatoes and potatoes still have the hairs, Tomatoes in particular are covered with these sticky hairs. They do trap small insects on a regular basis. They do kill insects.”
The number of there carnivorous plants is thought to have came up to 50 percent and many of them have until now been wrongly regarded as among the most harmless plants. Among them are species of petunia (矮牵牛), some special tobacco plants and cabbages, some varieties of potatoes and tomatoes, etc. Researchers at Royal Botanical Gardens Kew, which carried out the study, now believe there are hundreds more killer plants than previously realized.

The researchers, publishing their finding in the Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, said, “We may be surrounded by many more murderous plants than we think.” “We are accustomed to thinking of plants as being immobile and harmless, and there is something deeply frightening about the thought of meat-eating plants,” they added. 72.

Art is an important part of education, not only on its own but in the rest of education as well. However, in this information age, advanced technology in school has gained more attention than art. Sometimes when the school has a tight budget, it is usually art rather than technology that becomes the first thing to be cut.
Anyway, the significance of art can’t be ignored. First of all, in school it can help students develop a variety of life skills such as communication skills, problem-solving skills and self-expression skills. Secondly, for high school students, those who are involved in arts classes can have higher test scores. Besides, for some students, art seems to be motivation for coming to school because it’s a subject that they can outshine, which eventually balances their educational experience.
New technology surely offers many benefits to some aspects of education, making teaching and learning easier and more effective. For example, technology simplifies tasks that take much longer to do, like conducting research or finding information. But advanced technology has bad effects such the risk of being overweight, tiredness and even potential mental health problems, while art doesn’t. On the other hand, unlike art, no technology can develop students’ critical (批判的) thinking skills and a creative mind, both of which can help them to find successful careers after they graduate. Furthermore, no technology can help students to learn to bear responsibility, develop their imagination and increase their confidence.
Generally, art should not be replaced with advanced technology in schools and the last thing to be cut our of school curriculum.

One possible version
Recently there has been a heated discussion among students about whether it’s necessary to have spoken English tests in middle schools.
As far as I know, most of my classmates can read English aloud fluently and only a few of us find it difficult to read long words correctly. Some of them are lack of confidence when speaking English in public.
I strongly believe it necessary to hold a test of spoken English in middle schools because students will have more time and opportunities to practice their listening and speaking in English classes. What’s more, the ability to speak fluent English will bring us a wide variety of chances. We could become successful applicants for some posts by talking directly to experts from English speaking countries in the future.
Whether I’ll take the test or not, I will spare no effort on my spoken English.
