Simona lives in Bucharest, Romania. She is nine years old and HIV positive. When Simona’s mother found out about her illness five years ago, her first reaction was to tell everyone, looking for support.

“That’s when I found out who really was my friend, and who wasn’t, ”she said.“Quite a few people stopped visiting me and asked their children not to play with Simona any more.Because of this, quarrels began in my family with each trouble brought about by her diagnosis. My husband became more and more unfriendly toward me and toward Simona. He didn’t understand how important it was for Simona to receive regular examinations by a doctor or why she needed proper treatment for her sickness.”

When her mother tried to enroll(登记) Simona in a school, the teacher warned her that when other parents found out about her illness she would be shunned by the other children.

Simona’s mother looked for help and found a social worker from the Community Resource Center.

Manage your time well for each module(单元), but also make sure you get a good balance between work and social life. That is vital for life in general.

Set aside time specifically for each subject. Try to study one subject a day. You need to balance time. If you are bad at balancing things, make a personal timetable. Even if you do not stick to it, you will have an idea what you should be doing each day. This is better than trying to do everything each day and, at the end of the week, not achieve anything. Also, try to keep your weekends free of studying. Only study at the weekend if you really have to.

I had to learn to balance work, study and family when I was at college. I was a retail assistant working part-time and had at least four modules to complete at the same time at college. I also had to help around the house doing household cleaning and shopping at times. I managed to finish my college work on time, which was very difficult and hard, and still hold down a job.

Why was it possible? Because I only thought about my part-time work when I was at work on the weekends and my college work had to be done from Mondays to Fridays before the weekends. This was hard—but you need to set a timetable for yourself. It was an achievement when I finally realized that things have to be done in order, and need to be organized as well.

Balancing study and other aspects(方面) of your life can be a problem if you have a job or a family, but planning in advance is helpful. Use the time you have well. Do not leave anything until the last minute, as this will only cause problems.

55.The underlined word“vital”(in Paragraph 1) means_____________.

A.common                B.necessary                   C.easy                   D.difficult

56.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the advice the writer gives?

A.Try to study many subjects in a day.                   B.Try not to study on the weeekends.

C.Plan in advance.                                           D.Try to set a timetable.

57.It could be inferred from the passage that__________.

A.the writer has a part-time job as an assistant when he was at college

B.you need to set a timetable for yourself

C.you should make a personal timetable if you are bad at balancing your time

D.the writer can arrange his time well when he was at college

58.What is the passage mainly about?

A.I had a good time during my college.

B.How to study well at college.

C.Balance time between study and other aspects of your life.

D.How to plan your things in advance.

Dear Michelle,

My mother is not a good example for me and my sister. She smokes, stays out late, and she curses(骂人).I love her but I am ashamed of her.I do not want to bring my friends home because she does not act like any of the other mothers. She says I am a loser because I sit at home and study. I wish I could live in another family that was normal,but it will be 5 years before I am 18 and legal. What am I supposed to do until then?

Prisoner of a Crazy House

Dear 7th Grader,

I am glad that you love your mother because the rest of your feeings about her may change as you get older and mature(成熟).

While it is true that your mother’s smoking, partying and cursing bring you shame, the fact that you want to stay separate from her doings is notable and very smart. It shows that you are a winner,not a loser.

I am guessing, therefore, that you do not bring shame to yourself, and that is a good thing, So,keep it that way and keep away from your mother’s habits.

At the same time,try to get the best grades and join clubs and school activities. Offer social service on weekends and visit your friends at their homes.

Unfortunately, you are not alone.Many teens live in homes with immature,misguided, selfish parents. Those kids often feel lonely and separate from the rest of their friends because of their parents’ terrible deeds.

But they develop good friendships with nice kids, do well in school,and often find a teacher or guidance advisor who makes all the difference!

Do it, Miss Winning 13 years old, and keep looking forward to your own fine future.Maybe by then your mother may even see the light and realize how surprising you really are.

Best luck!

Michelle

Water and its importance to human life are the center of the world’s attention. March 22 is World Water Day, which has the theme “Water and culture ”this year. Ther are more than one billion people in the world who live without safe drinking water. The United Nations hopes to cut this number in half by 2015.

Solving such a big problem seems like an unreal challenge. But everyone, even teenagers, can do something to help. A teenage girl in the U.S. has set an example to others of her age around the world. Rene Haggerty, 13, was awarded the 2004 Gloria Barron Prize for her work of collecting deserted batteries which pollute water.

In 2003, Haggerty went on a field trip to the Great Lakes Science Centre in Ohio. There, she saw an exhibit about how chemicals in old batteries harm the water of Lake Erie. Haggerty learnt that recycling the batteries was an easy solution. “I think everybody can do it, because everyone uses batteries, and it can make a big difference.”With these words, she began to increase awareness in her area.

She talked to her county government and school board. She got permission to start a recycling programme in schools as well as the public libraries, hospitals, and churches. With the help from her family, friends and local waste-management officials, she gathered containers, arranged transportation, and made an educational video.

Over the past two years, she collected four tons of batteries and drew the attention of officials, who were in charge of a battery recycling programme but had made little progress. When asked if she feels like a hero, Haggerty is quite modest. “Not really. Well, maybe for the fish I saved!”

Every year the Gloria Barron Prize honors young Americans aged 8 to 18 who have shown leadership and courage in serving the public and the planet. Each year ten winners receive $2,000 each, to help with their education costs or their public service work.

68.According to the passage, how many people probably can’t drink safe drinking water in 2015?

A.About I billion.                                            B.About 2 billion.

C.About 500 million.                                        D.About 5 million.

69.In order to collect used batteries, Rene Haggerty did the following things EXCEPT_______.

A.gather some containers                                  B.arrange the transportation

C.make an educational video                             D.go on a field trip

70.The best title for this passage should be_______ .

A.A girl awarded the 2004 Gloria Barron Prize

B.A girl acts to clean the world’s water

C.We should protect our environment

D.A girl collecting batteries
