Teenage life is quite dramatic but that doesn't mean you cannot enjoy your life in these years.
Even with your daily troubles, your life is not very hard if you know how to deal with
I know exactly how you feel. Life as a teenager can be hard. You are not a kid anymore,
because you are smart enough to observe and analyze your surroundings. However , you are still
not an adult because there are still lots of experiences that you need to have and lessons that you
need to learn from these experiences. To top it all , the hormonal (荷尔蒙的) imbalance in your
body can really mess you up emotionally. I have been there. I was in it for 6 years exploring
what life is about. .
As a teenager, I had a major problem completing my chores on time. And at that time,all that I
needed to do was to finish my assignments , study for the upcoming test and clean my room. Now,
I have much more things to do: cooking, cleaning and working while striking a balance between
all my relationships related to work,family and friends. That really is a lot of work. So, I will just
give you one golden tip, quoting from Benjamin Franklin," Never leave that ill tomorrow which you can do today.'
Life becomes much easier now because I finish all my work on time and I have enough time to
let my hair down. Half the problems as a teenager are because we hate doing things. We'd rather
go and have fun than sit down and take care of our duties and responsibilities. That is why you
have so much trouble in your life ;your parents won't let you go out with friends because you
haven't cleaned your room or your teacher is always criticizing you because you haven't finished
your assignments.

Yellow is usually the color of happy , joyful emotions ( 情感). But according to a new study ,
not all people associate the sunshiny shade with good feelings.
To find out what factors might play a role , researchers tested a new hypothesis ( 假设) : What
if people's physical surroundings affect their feelings about certain colors? For example, if
someone lived in cold and rainy Finland, would they feel differently about the color yellow from
someone who lived near the Sahara Desert?
The researchers looked at color-emotion data from an ongoing international survey (调查) of
6 ,625 people in 55 countries. The survey asked participants to rate 12 colors on how closely they
were associated with feelings including joy , pride , fear , and shame.
The researchers paid particular attention to the data for yellow , and analyzed how different
factors 一 including hours of sunshine , hours of daylight , and the amount of rainfall 一 lined up
with the emotions people reported for the color. The two best predictors of how people felt about
yellow were the annual amount of rainfall , and how far they lived from the equator (赤道).
Overall, people were more likely to associate yellow with joy when they lived in rainier
countries that lay farther from the equator , researchers reported in the Journal of Environmental
Psychology. In Egypt , the likelihood of yellow being associated with joy was just 5. 7% ,whereas
in chilly Finland it was 87. 7% . In the United States, with its mild climate and amber waves of
grain , people's yellow joy association levels were between 60% and 70% .
The researchers also checked whether associations changed with the season - whether ,for
example,people in a certain country liked yellow more in the winter than they did in the summer.
They found that opinions about color remained fairly constant year-round 一 even when the
weather changed , the data on yellow-joy associations were as good as gold.
28. What did the researchers do before the survey?
A. They went to Finland. B. They made an assumption.
C. They studied certain colors. D. They analyzed some data.29. Which of the following affects people's feelings about yellow?
A. The changeable seasons. B. The length of daytime.
C. The geographic position. D. The amount of snowfall.
30. How did the researchers carry out the survey?
A. By interviewing participants. B. By studying the data collected.
C. By travelling around the world. D. By looking at color combinations.
31. What can be the best title of the text?
A. Finland :A Country Admiring Yellow. B. Yellow: Associated with Joy Conditionally.
C. Color : An Important Role in Good Feelings. D. Color-emotion Data : Collected
Internationally.

Royal Dutch Shell is launching a $ 300 million and forestry program, at a time when an
increasing number of oil companies are putting money in carbon offset ( 碳补偿) plans to meet
climate goals. The company will spend the money over the next three years on projects to store
carbon , including large forests in the Netherlands and Spain , and will start offering motorists the
option of purchasing carbon offsets when they buy petrol at the pump.
The executives of the company explained that these carbon offset projects were a new business
opportunity for Shell,as well as a way to meet is climate targets. “We believe that over time we
will be building a business , because these carbon credits will become more valuable as carbon
becomes more limited," they said. Shell recently decided to cut its net carbon footprint (碳排放)
by 2-3 percent in five years ,which includes emissions (排放) from the products it sells. The
company plans to produce carbon credits from the forestry projects , then sell these credits on to
customers buying is oil and gas products , or apply the credits to is own operations to lower its
carbon footprint. .
Plants absorb carbon dioxide as they grow and restoring forests and other natural areas is
considered one of the simplest ways to store carbon. However , the voluntary market for carbon
credits based on forestry projects has its critics , as projects in developing countries can be hard to
monitor. Shell's move has also been criticized by some environmentalists. They worried that there
was a risk of “ green wash" when companies invested in forestry projects. "There is an entire
debate about whether forestry projects truly reduce emissions or not," they said ,pointing out that
planting in one area could cause deforestation ( 滥伐森林) to another.
Shell said it would rely on the third party to ensure its forest program to meet the Voluntary
Carbon Standard and strict biodiversity requirements. Mark Lewis, head of climate change
investment research at BNP Paribas , said," Planting trees to offset emissions ,as far as it goes, is
a step in the right direction.
32. What is popular among oil companies these days?
A. Studying climate changes. B. Launching forestry programs.
C. Working out carbon offset plans. D. Attracting motorists to buy their petrol.
33. How will Shell Company make profits from its carbon offset projects?
A. By quitting the emissions of its products.
B. By reducing its carbon footprint by a quarter.
C. By limiting the oil used by its own operations.
D. By putting carbon credits it produces on the market. .
34. W hat concerns some environmentalists about forestry project?A. The projects can't really stop carbon emissions.
B. The projects are hard to monitor in poor countries.
C. The projects may lead to deforestation in other forests.
D. The projects haven't met strict biodiversity requirements.
35. What does the underlined word “green wash” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Discount. B. Cheat. C. Decline. D. Change.

36 One day, when I was perhaps six years old, I was walking with my father on a crowded
street. All of a sudden , the normnal flow of pedestrian traffic backed up as people tried to avoid a
large object on the sidewalk. To my astonishment , the object turned out to be a human being, a
man lying unconscious against a building. 37 . Certainly no one made eye contact. As we
walked by , my father 一 the model of a loving , caring gentleman - pointed to a bottle in a paper
bag and told me that the poor soul on the sidewalk just needed to sleep it off. Then the drunken
man began to murmur senselessly. My father warned me not to go near , saying “You never know
how he'll react.
38 I had spent the previous 12 months traveling in poor Asian cities , but even by those
standards this was a scene of misery. In addition to being desperately poor , the locals had to live
in the extremely hot climate , ridiculously huge crowds and a fairly strong wind blowing dust
everywhere. Suddenly a man carrying a huge bag of peanuts called out in pain and fell to the
ground._ 39 . A half dozen sellers ran from their stands to help, leaving unattended what might
have been the totality of their possessions. One put a blanket under the man's head; another
opened his shirt ;a third questioned him carefully about the pain ;a fourth fetched water; a fifth
kept onlookers from crowding around too closely; a sixth ran for help._ 40 The performance
could have passed for a final exam at a paramedic (护理人员) school.
A. I then witnessed an astonishing scene.
B. Not one of the passers-by seemed to notice that it was a man.
C. This was totally different from the bitter experience I had in New York.
D. Within minutes , a doctor arrived,and two other locals joined in to assist.
E. I soon came to see that day's lesson as basic knowledge for a New Yorker.
F. I'll always remember a lesson that I learned as a boy growing up in New York City.
G. Yet many years later I had a very different experience while visiting a market in Rangoon.
