Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers. But last summer, Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son. Suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents. “The door to his room is always shut.” Joanna said.
Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter. “She used to cuddle up(依偎) with me on the sofa and talk,” said Mark. “Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something. Sometimes she wants to be treated like a young lady. The problem is finding out which time is which.”
Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what’s on their minds. “In fact, parents are first on the list,” said Michael Riera, a writer.
“This completely changes during the teen years,” Riera explained. “They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last.”
Parents who know what’s going on in their teenagers’ lives are the best to help them. To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them. And they must give their children a mental(腦力的) break, for children also need freedom, though young. Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager, with their children is a better way to know them.
【小題1】The underlined sentence in the first paragraph means that __________.

A．the son is always busy with his studies
B．the son doesn’t want to see anymore
C．the son keeps himself away from his parents
D．the son wants to live with his friends
【小題2】What troubles Tina and Mark the most is that __________.
A．their daughter isn’t as happy as before
B．they can’t understand what their daughter thinks
C．they don’t know what to say to their daughter
D．their daughter talks far more to her friends than to them
【小題3】“The wall of silence” in the first paragraph means that __________.
A．teenagers talk a lot with their friends
B．teenagers do not talk with their teachers
C．teenagers do not talk much with their parents
D．teenagers talk little about their studies
【小題4】The better way for parents to know their children is to be a ________.
A．teacher B．friend C．manager D．student
【小題5】What do we learn from the passage?
A．Parents are all happy with their growing children.
B．Parents are teenagers’ best friends.
C．Parents should keep silence before teenagers.
D．Parents should try to understand teenagers.

Cosplay is great!

Cosplay is short for “costume play”, which means play-acting in costumes. People who take part in cosplay are called cosplayers. They usually create or make costumes of their favorite animation characters by themselves or get a tailor to make them. Sometimes they even prepare small things, like knives and earrings, which the characters wear or use in the animation.
Cosplayers are creative and proud of their work. They spend a lot of money and energy on it. They not only dress up as their favorite characters in the animation, but also act like the characters.
New trend (趨勢) is on!
While Chinese fans are busy cosplaying characters in Japanese animations or movies, Japan, as a big country of cosplay, now has a trend to cosplay non-Japanese movie characters. Japanese cosplayers like the characters in Star Wars and Lord of the Rings very much. But the most popular ones are from the Harry Potter films. They have a very large number of fans in Japan. The character who is liked the best by Japanese cosplayers in Harry Potter films is Draco Malfoy, though he is Harry’s rival(對手) and always tries to get Harry and his friends into trouble.

Be careful! Some people may use the truth to deceive. When someone tells you something that is true, but misses important information that should be included, he can create a false impression(印象).
For example, someone might say, "I just won 100 dollars on the lottery(彩票). It was great. I took that ticket back to the store and they gave me 100 dollars!"
This man is a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he paid 200 dollars for 200 tickets, and only one ticket won. He's really a big loser.
He didn't say anything that was false, but he didn't give the other important information. That's called a half-truth. Half-truths are not lies, but in fact they are dishonest.
Advertisements sometimes use half-truths. It's against the law to lie in advertisements, so they try to deceive with the truth. An advertisement might say, "Nine-tenths of doctors believe that Fancy Pills will be good to cancer. " It doesn't tell you that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Fancy Company.
This kind of thing happens too often. It's a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.
【小題1】What does the underlined word "deceive" mean in Chinese?

A．坦白　 B．引人注意　 C．獲勝　 D．欺騙
【小題2】When people tell part of the truth,          .
A．they are really lying
B．they are lottery losers
C．they may want you to buy something
D．they may not be honest
【小題3】Which of the following is TRUE?
A．The truth can be used by dishonest people.
B．All lies are hidden in the truth.
C．Nine-tenths of doctors work for Fancy Company.
D．Advertisements are full of lies.
【小題4】What does the writer clearly want people to do?
A．Think carefully when they read or hear something.
B．Spend no money on lottery tickets.
C．Never trust anyone no matter what they say.
D．Always tell the truth.
【小題5】Which is the best title for the passage?

In the past, man did not have to think about the protection of his environment. There were not many people on earth, and natural resources seemed to be unlimited.
Today, things are different. The world has become too crowded. We are using up our natural resources too quickly, and at the same time we are polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals. If we continue like this, human life on earth will not survive.
Everyone realizes today that if too many fish are taken from the sea, there will soon be none left. Yet, with modern fishing methods(方法), more and more fish are caught. We know that if too many trees are cut down, forests will disappear and nothing will grow on the land. Yet, we continue to use bigger and more powerful machines to cut down more and more trees.
We realize that if rivers are polluted with waste products from factories, we will die. However, in most countries waste products are still put into rivers or into the sea, and there are few laws to stop this.
We know, too, that if the population of the world continues to rise at the present rate, in a few years, there will not be enough food.
What can we do to solve these problems?
If we eat more vegetables and less meat, we will easily get more food. Land that is used to grow crops can feed five times more people than land where animals are kept.
The world population will not rise so quickly if people use modern methods of birth control.
Finally, if we educate people to think about the problems, we shall have a better and cleaner living place in the future.
