Dear classmates,
It is a pleasure for I to have a chance to make a short speech today. Recently, I had found that some of our classmates study late into the night and do not take some time to take a rest during the day either. They often cannot help fall asleep in class. And some classmates seldom have breakfast, that is also a bad habit and will surely do harm to our health.
In my opinion, it is extreme important for us to have enough sleep and a proper diet. We must learn to make a wise use of our time, and only in this way can we keep fit or study well. I wonder if you agree me.
Thank you for listening.

Music is often targeted at teenagers. Because teenagers go through big changes and start making life-affecting decisions in their teens, people naturally wonder what effects music has on teenagers. Does it lead to violence? Help test scores? Teach them valuable lessons? 1.
Music can help students improve academic performance. Studying music involves math and science, so students often improve in these areas. 2.According to a report, students who took part in music performance scored 41 points higher in math than those who did not take part in music performance.
Being a teenager can be rough emotionally. Music is an especially emotional art form covering every type of emotion. 3. As music is a way to express emotions, many teenagers might try to make their own music, which can create healthy emotional expression.
4. Thus, listening to music can teach teenagers a lot about their own culture and other cultures. They can learn musical traditions, musical instruments, history lessons and more. Plus, as listening to music is a fun activity, this can often be a more interesting way to learn about a culture, rather than simply reading a textbook.
Music tastes and interests can often bring people together, especially teenagers. 5. As well, music is often enjoyed at concerts and dance clubs where teenagers often hang out. Typically, the people attending these concerts and dance clubs already share a common interest, so a connection can be easily made.
A. Music is often related with culture.
B. This improvement can benefit them in tests.
C. Music greatly improves teenagers,learning abilities.
D. While there are negative effects, there are many positive effects, too.
E. If they can find a song that matches their mood, they will feel comfortable.
F. Rap music presents a new vocabulary teenagers won't learn in an English class
G.Two teenagers who like the same style of music are easily to start up a friendship.
As a kid, Joanna Buckley wasn’t interested in science — until she had a chance to try it. That happened when she got a chemistry set for Christmas.
“Over the course of a few weeks, I’d completed every experiment. But in the process, I polluted my parent’s dining room carpet and burnt the kitchen worktop with the spirit burner,” she says.
Now science is Buckley’s job. She works in the chemistry department at the University of Sheffield in England. “I realize, first-hand, how important it is to have something or someone to show you why science is so great,” she says. Now the good news is that citizen science appears.
Citizen science takes the fun of experimenting a step further than Buckley’s at-home chemistry kit. That’s because these experiments are real, looking for novel answers.
“Compared with a one-off experiment, what’s cool about citizen science is that students get that this has a purpose,” Prunuske says. “Students want to do a good job, because they know scientists are going to use the new data in their own research.”
Long agrees. “Kids like that it’s real. And they like that it’s important, that it matters.” Citizen-science projects have made big discoveries. One found a previously unknown galaxy cluster （星系团）. Another project helped assess how much damage a big earthquake had caused in Japan. And one of the first citizen-science projects helped scientists learn where butterflies go every winter.
Some adults worry about teens losing interest in science. That’s one reason they hope that fun, exciting citizen-science projects can help them keep in touch, Long says. And she has some evidence that it’s working, “Last year, we did have a couple of students say, ‘I really think I want to be a scientist now. ’”
1.What is the purpose of paragraph 2?
A.To support trials can make teens interested in science.
B.To prove failure is the mother of success in science.
C.To state Buckley has a talent for science.
D.To praise Buckley for her strong will.
2.Why is citizen science more fun?
A.It carries out experiments frequently.
B.It must carry out experiments in groups.
C.It needs to seek for new solutions.
D.It demands to handle complex problems.
3.What can we know from what Prunuske said?
A.She participated in the experiment.
B.She took pride in what students took up.
C.Citizen science is popular with students.
D.Scientists are willing to employ students.
4.What is Long’s attitude towards citizen science?
A.Concerned. B.Supportive.
C.Doubtful. D.Unclear.
