How to get teenagers to read

Getting teenagers to read sounds like a hard task. The latest Xbox or PSP has got them addicted, or the homework seems to last forever. 【1】 Here is a guide on how to get your teenagers to read.

【2】 You could look at their school homework timetable and work out which evening they have the least amount of work to do. Make sure that your teenager is not going to an out-of-school club that evening.

Buy your teenagers a new set of books. Research the book lists for teenagers. The Chaos Walking Trilogy and The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy are suited for both boys and girls. If your teenager will never sit down to read a book, consider buying them an electronic reader like an Amazon Kindle Paperwhite to encourage them to read. Make sure that the electronic reader you buy can only be used to read. 【3】

Seize opportunities. If they seem unimpressed then whenever you see them not doing anything constructive, encourage them to pick up one of the books you bought. If they say they don’t want the book then take them out to buy some in a bookstore. 【4】

Consider punishments. 【5】 This doesn’t work for everyone but some people find that when your teenager messes up, you can tell them to go to their room and read. They might start to really enjoy the book.

A. Don’t be afraid of wasting money.

B. Electronic readers are harmful to teenagers’ eyesight.

C. Figure out what time is best for your teenager to read.

D. If they still refuse then you could use reading as a punishment.

E. But getting them to pick up a book is a lot easier than it sounds.

F. You’re sure to pick out a book that they really want to read there.

G. You know they could pretend to read and actually play video games.

【題目】The film stars out as a normal day at a typical American high school. Friends chat in the dining room and boys play football. But there's big surprise when the movie ends with two students going crazy in the school-shooting and killing people.

This is Elephant. It stars real school kids. American director Gus Van Sant had no ready-made lines. The student actors made up their own dialogue, with Van Sant asking them to base their characters on their own lives.

Although it may not sound very high quality, the film won the Palme d'Or (金棕獎) for Best Film and the award for Best Director at the Cannes film festival.

The film is based on the shootings at a high school in the US, where two boys killed 13 people and then themselves in 1999.

The title of the movie refers to the old expression about a problem that's as hard to ignore as an elephant in the house.

The film takes a close look at a few hours in the lives of the victims and the killers. It shows how high school is a different experience for everyone---fun and friendly, or hard and lonely.

In many ways, the two boys, who carry out the shooting, act like ordinary kids. They joke around with one boy's mother as she serves them cakes and play the piano.

But there're hints of the anger they feel inside. One of the boys is bullied (欺負) at school. The other plays violent video games. But Van Sant isn't blaming their killings on either bullying or violent games. In fact, the film doesn't offer any reason for why school violence happens.

"I didn't want to explain anything. It's up to the audience to draw its own conclusions," said the 51-year-old director.

【1】The lines of the film were ________.

A. given by the director

B. created by student actors

C. thought out by the director during the acting

D. carefully designed by professional people

【2】 The film doesn't tell why school shootings happen________.

A. so as to leave room for the audience to think and judge

B. because life itself is the problem maker

C. because the mental problems of students are hard to explain

D. but there are some hints of the reasons

【3】The film is named Elephant because ________.

A. an elephant is always gentle and never causes trouble

B. an elephant is a symbol of big problems in American schools

C. elephant is used to suggest that the school crime is a big problem

D. the two boys liked elephants when alive

【4】What’s the passage mainly about？

A. It shows American school life.

B. It introduces the film Elephant.

C. It tells people to be careful while in peace.

D. It reports a school killing in a US school.

Tom and Alice were both patient in a Mental Hospital. One day they were walking by the swimming pool of the hospital while Tom suddenly jumped into the deep end. He sank to the bottom. Alice promptly jumped in to save him with any hesitation. She swam to the bottom and pull him out. When the medical director became aware Alice’s heroic act, he immediate reviewed her file and called her into his office. “Alice, I have a good news and bad news for you. The good news is that you’re being discharged because since you were able to save the life of other patient, I think you’ve gained your senses. The bad news is that Tom, that you saved, hanged himself with his bathrobe（浴衣）belt in the bathroom, and he was dead.”

Alice replied, “He didn’t hang him. I hung him up to dry.”

Stop eating yourself stupid

We all know that poor nutrition can lead to bad health and even weight gain. 【1】 A recent study has found that what you eat could very likely play a role in how smart you are.

According to the study, rats fed a high-fat diet for 10 days showed signs of weakness and even had trouble finding treats that were waiting for them. 【2】 Actually high-fat diet could weaken our intelligence—but so can a calorie-restricted diet. The trick appears to lie in finding a nice balance.

Here are ways to achieve that happy balance and make you smarter through diet, exercise and improving your brain power.

【3】 Aim to get this amount of calories each day. If you need to drop a few pounds, take away the number you get by 400; consume that number of calories each day until you drop the weight.

Eat the right foods in addition to getting the right amount of calories. Aim for healthy foods that include good amounts of protein, fiber, fruits and vegetables, healthy whole grains, healthy fats and plenty of water. Well! Don’t forget to exercise your mind while doing so. Read a book. Try a new recipe. Do some puzzles. _【4】_

【5】 Aim for at least three 30-minute sessions a week. I like simple exercises such as walking, but anything that raises the heart rate is good. You may be fond of music too. Combine them! Some people like to listen to classical music such as Bach or Mozart, but rock music lovers will be happy to learn that this genre can help make you smarter as well.

A. Exercise regularly with happy mind forever.

B. Your health depends on your exercise plan.

C. Remember: All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

D. Now add “l(fā)ack of intelligence” to the list.

E. You may be puzzled whether it has something with us.

F. These are all good ways to help increase your smarts.

G. Figure out how many calories you need to maintain your weight.

As we know, it was not easy for J.K Rowling to create Harry Potter. The idea for Harry Potter come to her while she was on a delayed train between Manchester and London. She wrote down her ideas on the back of envelope. She then continued to add flesh for the bones of the first Harry Potter story. During her creation, she had the extra burden of look after her baby and had to write with hand for a lack of typewriter. It was only in 1997 she completed the first Harry Potter story. After the first book, the success of each of the following titles was automatically. The fifth book sold about seven million copies the day when it was published. What makes the books so important are that they create a special literary bond between parents and children. In addition, much to the pleasant of the schoolchildren, Harry Potter has even become part of the school curriculum.
