A
(2017·合肥市第一次教学质量检测) You're growing up.That means you're
probably experiencing lots of changes，all at once.Your body is changing.It might
even seem as if your entire self is changing.It can be confusing and even scary. 1
And it's good!
Growing up means that you can do more，learn more，and start to make your
mark on the world.In order for that to happen, your body produces chemicals called
hormones that help both body and mind grow.Hormone levels change constantly，
rising and falling. 2 But it's partly to blame for intense emotions，surprising
reactions，and mood swings.
Because of the way your brain develops，it is somewhat ruled by emotions now
and through your teen years.As a result, growing up can seem like an emotional roller
coaster！ 3
●Take care of yourself.If you eat right，sleep enough，and get good exercise，
your brain will be much more able to deal with the stress.
● 4 When you feel your moods swinging or you're upset，or confused，
some quiet time will allow you to gather your thoughts and get calmer.
●Practice relaxing your body and deep breathing when you wake up and when
you go to bed. 5 Plus，when stuff happens during the day，you'll be able to calm
yourself quickly with a deep breath or two before you react.Your body is changing.
A．Take a timeout.
B．But the truth is，it happens to every teen.
C．Work out regularly to keep physically fit.
D．This changing is needed for your body's development.
E．It will help you fall asleep—and start the morning right.
F．Here are a few things you can do to make the ride smoother.2
G．Usually，these feelings settle down when you realize what is going on.

How to pick a great book to read
The world is full of great books，just waiting to be read.How can you pick one
you'll really like？Here are some tips：
What makes you happy?
If you have a favorite hobby or pastime，look for books about that activity. 6
Do there exist a few careers you're interested in？You can find books about almost
anything you like，and you're more likely to enjoy reading a book if you're already
interested in its subject.
Fact or fiction?
7 Those are called fiction books.Novels，short stories，and fables are all
examples of fiction.These books can transport you to another world or help you
imagine something beyond your own experience.Nonfiction books give you the
who，what，when，and why.They tell stories using facts—but that doesn't mean they're
boring.Nonfiction books can bring to life everything from the first trip to the moon3
to what it's like to explore the deepest oceans. Many of them read like novels from
start to finish.Try both fiction and nonfiction books to see which you like better.
Find a family favorite.
What was your mother's favorite book when she was your age？Or your dad's？
What about a sibling's？ 8 Then you can talk about what they liked about it and
share your thoughts.It's a fun way to get to know your family a little better，and to find
a book you'll enjoy!
9
Your local library is a great place to find books that you'll love，and you don't
have to search all by yourself.Tell a librarian about your interests—rock stars，sports
teams, historical events，whatever you're into—and the names of some books you
already like.Your librarian can help you find other books that you're sure to love.Your
teacher is another good person to ask.
Launch a book swap(交换)．
Why not get some friends together and trade favorite books？It's always fun to
see what your friends are reading.Even if they're not exactly bookworms，you can all
encourage each other to read and share books and authors you like.You also can look
for book swaps in your area. 10
A．Ask them and give it a read.
B．Read as many books as possible.
C．It's a great way to build your personal library for free!
D．Ask an expert.
E．Some books are entirely made up and imagined.
F．Are you really into dinosaurs or dogs or a specific celebrity?
G．Set up a private library.

favorite books”“share books”可知，应选 C。]

and make it shine brightly？ 11 Then you will not need to purchase expensive

the stains and leave it all for a few hours.Then let water wash the toilet!

Do not throw away those orange peels. You can use the skins to clean stainless
steel.Your appliances will shine again after you rub(擦)them with the skins.The peels
can easily make those stubborn stains disappear in a second.
