“I didn’t hear them call my name,” explained Shelley Hennig to Active Teens (AT) as she talked about that exciting
moment on national television when she won the honor of Miss Teen USA 2004. “Are you ready?” is what she heard. Then she2
said, “I shook my head no, and then they said ‘y es’ and it was announced again.”
It was four days after that life changing moment for the seventeen -year-old high school student from Destrehan, Louisiana
—she was still o n c lo ud n ine ．
“I was so shocked! I never believed that it could actually really happen.” Present in the audience that day were: her mother
and father, older brother, her friends, and her dance teacher.
Understanding why members of her family and her friends would be there, AT asked why her dance teacher had traveled
so far to see her compete. “She’s always been my role model. I’ve danced with her since I was six. She’s been through so many
difficulties and came through them all. I’ve learned to get over bad life’s experiences and learned how to move on because of
her.”
One of those bad life’s experiences for Shelley happened three years ago when her brother Brad was killed in a drunk
driving accident. He was 18. She found writing helped her get through the rough days. She said, “I write a lot about my brother. I
write a lot, a lot, a lot...”
As Miss Louisiana Teen, she traveled around the state speaking to teens about the dangers of drinking and driving. In her
role as Miss Teen USA, Shelley will continue to speak to youth about safe driving, in addition to many other things to help th e
youth.
When AT asked Miss Teen USA if she had any advice for our readers, she said, “Don’t let anyone change you. Hang out
with people that make you feel good about yourself. That way, it is easy to be yourself. ”
4. What do the words “on cloud nine” in Paragraph2 probably mean?
A. frightened B. very happy C. troubled D. very angry
5. Shelley takes her dance teachers as a role model mainly because she is __ _.
A. strict B. friendly C. determined D. experienced
6. What did Shelley often do after she became Miss Louisiana Teen?
A. She visited drunken drivers. B. She made speeches on safe driving.
C. She gave dance performance. D. She helped other teens with their studies.
7. What suggestion does Shelley give to the teens?
A. Meet friends whenever possible. B. Be yourself with the support of friends.
C. Go easy on yourself and others. D. Have a good role model.
C
You know that Grandparents’ Day, taking place on the Sunday after Labor Day every year, is a holiday for celebrating
your parents’ parents. But how did the holiday come to be? Did it originate out of a sweet, sincere wish at heart...or was it all
a giant marketing plan to sell more goods?
It is, in fact, the former when Marian McQuade first thought of the idea for the holiday, and commercialism (商业主义)
was the last thing on her mind. In 1956, McQuade was trying to plan a celebration for the elderly members of her community.
She made the sad discovery that many of the senior citizens in the nursing home didn’t often receive visits from their famili es.
So she set a day to appreciate grandparents.
In any case, McQuade never wanted the holiday to be a money grab. Mother ’s Day actually has a similar story; in fact, its
founder wanted it discontinued in the 1920s after she saw how commercialized it had become. How ever, it didn’t stop card
companies from getting excited about the future of a new holiday. Hallmark predicted that, by 1983, Grandparents’ Day
would become the sixth highest cardselling holiday. But to their disappointment, it never became a commercial h oliday.
Many families have much more meaningful ways of celebrating the holiday. Danielle Kirsch celebrates by trying a new
activity every year with her grandmother Elsie. “This year, we’ll be painting together,” she tells RD.com. Molly Arnold’s
grandmother is no longer around, yet she still finds a way to honor the holiday. Arnold is the Chief Operations Officer of the3
Frank and Barbara Broyles Foundation, a charity she created in memory of her grandmother, Barbara Broyles, who passed
away from Alzheimer ’s disease (阿尔茨海默)．
However, that the holiday is not about commercialism doesn’t mean you can’t exchange gifts. Spruce.com actually
suggests that grandparents give their grandchildren gifts, especially gifts that “honor family traditions”. For example, a
meaningful gift from a grandpa to his granddaughter would be actually a birthday gift, but we think it’s a perfect
Grandparents’ Day idea too.
8. Why did McQuade found Grandparents’ Day?
A. To grow her own business. B. To realize her parents’ dream.
C. To remember her own grandparents. D. To call on people to care for the elderly.
9. What does the underlined part “a money grab” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. A way to make big money. B. A celebration of one’s wealth.
C. A chance to give others money. D. A deal between family members.
10. Hallmark thought Grandparents’ Day _ _．
A. wouldn’t grow popular among young people B. would become a commercial holiday
C. would turn into a global holiday D. wouldn’t last long
11. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. Meaningful ways of celebrating the holiday. B. People’s attitudes towards the holiday.
C. The effort to carry out the holiday. D. The future of the holiday.
D. A Colourful Puzzle
People often wear clothing with colours that express something about themselve s. A happy person might choose to wear
a bright yellow shirt. A swimmer might wear a sea-blue dress.
Animals appear in different colours too, but they don’t get to pick what they wear every morning. Scientists have known
for a long time about some of the ways animal colouring can be beneficial. They know that some animals’ colours attract
mates or show who is boss. Other animals’ colours blend (融合) in with their environment; thus the animals cannot be seen
by their enemies. Still, scientists do not fully u nderstand why blue jays are blue or why rainforest frogs are golden. Now
many scientists are working hard to figure out the puzzles of animal colours.
Part of the answer can be found in an animal’s habitat, the place where it lives. It turns out that many
animals—especially birds, fish, and reptiles—can see more colours than humans can. These creatures notice colours that
stand out in their habitat. For example, forests are mostly green, brown, and yellow. For an animal to be seen by others of i ts
species, it would have to be a different colour than its background. That explains why you can find birds of many shades of
blue living in forests.
Another piece of the puzzle lies in what an animal eats. Birds often eat things that have chemicals in them called
“carotenoids” (类胡萝卜素). These chemicals are what make tomatoes red and bell peppers bright orange or yellow. When
birds eat these foods, the carotenoids affect the colour of their feathers. For example, a cardinal’s bright red feathers wil l
become lighter or darker depending on how many berries it has found to eat.
Some animals do not have any colour at all—but they are not just white; they are transparent! Transparent animals live
mostly in the ocean. This amazing wonder of nature came about because the animals needed a way to escape their enemies.
They are often slow, defenseless creatures that would have no way of fighting back if larger animals wanted to eat them.
Because there are few places to hide in the ocean, these creatures have to hide in plain sigh t. A good example of this kind of
transparent creature is the jellyfish. A jellyfish’s body is almost all water, so it is very hard to see it floating in the o cean.
Animals come in all kinds of colours. Their colours are caused by many different factors, and most animals will remain
the same colour for their whole lives. Think how lucky we are to get to change our feathers every day!4
12. What is the main idea of this article?
A. Animals appear in many different colours. B. Animals are unable to choose their colours.
C. Animals’ colours are caused by different factors. D. Animals need colours to blend into their surroundings.
13. According to the passage, what is the reason that some animals are transparent?
A. It marks the places they live in. B. It shows the leader of the group.
C. It helps them to escape enemies. D. It allows their mates to see them.
14. It can be inferred that why football players wear uniforms during a game is __ _.
A. to identify group members B. to show their personalities
C. to distinguish the group leader D. to blend in with the environment
15. The passage is mainly organized by _ .
A. comparisons B. explanations C. order of events D. order of importance

(watch) a basketball match. Seeing this, the boy rushed to his father and shouted, “Daddy, Daddy, show me how to play
