A teenager needs to have a sense of independence in their life to feel secure（安全的）. To some teenagers independence means a lot to them, and I think that some parents don’t allow their teenagers enough independence. Independence has something to do with freedom. Some kids are not allowed to go anywhere alone, and the only thing their schedule includes is going to school, coming home, going to sleep, and repeating the process the next day. Parents tend to be afraid that their kids can get hurt if they go outside into the world. But if parents control their kids too much, they may never learn to live on their own. The best way for a teenager to learn lesson is through experience. I think it is beneficial for teenagers to have freedom. Teenagers’ lack of freedom can also stop them from having good friendship at school. Some might say this is a good thing, because it helps them focus more on their school work. I argue that this can only discourage them not to do their school work. Some parents do not allow their children to be around their friends outside the school, thinking that this will get them into trouble. But I don’t think so. Instead, isn’t this a good reason for parents to get their children a cellphone? Cellphones allow teenagers to stay in touch with their parents, and communicate with friends. Privacy is another issue between parents and their teenagers. Teenagers tend to enjoy relaxation by themselves in their own room. This also gives them a sense of independence. It often annoys teenagers when their parents enter their room when they are not home. I know that my mom always goes in my room when I’m not home, and this has brought me to the point where I have asked many times to get a lock on my door. 1.What is the main idea of the second paragraph? A.Kids know how to live independently. B.Some parents allow their kids no freedom. C.It benefits teenagers to have freedom. D.Kids have a dull routine every day 2.In the opinion of the author, ___________. A.parents should make it easy for kids to communicate with their friends B.good friendships between kids harm their school work C.it is unnecessary for a kid to have a cellphone D.kids should focus on the school work 3.How do teenagers usually feel when their parents enter their rooms in their absence? A.Disappointed B.Lucky C.Angry D.Calm 4.The author hopes to have her door locked in order to ______________. A.keep her father from reading her dairy B.prevent her mother entering her room C.Protect herself from any harm D.Stop thieves from going in

Not only does the use of plastic water bottles hurt your wallet, it also increases pollution and wastes energy and water. Only 23% of all plastic in America ends up in a recycling bin, meaning over $ 1 billion worth of plastic is treated as rubbish a year. Recently, Skipping Rocks Lab has invented a kind of water bottle called Ooho.
It is a convenient, clear water bottle that can either be drunken or eaten. To drink it, you can either peel off the membrane(薄膜) or tear a hole in the membrane with your teeth to pour the water into your mouth. To eat it, you simply put the whole bottle in your mouth. One problem the scientists have run into is how to ship large amounts of Ooho bubbles(水泡) without arriving with a very wet truck. However, they have attempted to package units of individual bubbles together inside a larger and thicker membrane. It is targeting large outdoor events, such as marathons, music festivals, and sporting events, where tons of plastic bottles are used, and frequently left behind as litter. And too much plastic is sure to do harm to the environment, which could account for their purpose of such a new invention. The team has been working for the past two years to develop the technology and materials needed to produce Ooho; they have recently applied a patent for their new advancements. The price for an individual bubble or a unit of bubbles has not been set yet, but they cost about two cents to create a unit, which is cheaper than plastic bottles. It has appeared at events in London, San Francisco, Boston, at conferences, festivals, and so on. Ooho is catching many people’s attention and has raised over $ 1 million and gained 1,000 investors in only three days. It is mostly being sold at events at the moment to keep the consumer’s interest while the production machine is getting up and running. It is quickly making a rise,so keep an eye out this year for these bottles of the future. 1.How is most plastic dealt with in America? A.It’s sold. B.It’s recycled. C.It’s buried. D.It’s wasted. 2.Why did the team invent Ooho? A.To make a profit for a company. B.To protect the environtnent. C.To make people eat as they drink. D.To reduce the cost of plastic bottle. 3.What can we infer about Ooho from the text? A.It is easy and safe to ship it in large amounts. B.It has become popular since it began to be sold. C.It might be sold at a lower price than plastic bottles. D.It cost the team a lot of money to develop the technology. 4.What does the author really want to say in the last paragraph? A.Ooho is to be a success in the future. B.Ooho is being supported by smart people. C.Ooho is taking the place of plastic bottles now. D.Ooho is being produced to attract more investors.
