閱讀下面的短文，并根據(jù)短文后面的要求答題。（請注意問題后的字數(shù)要求）

 

MOST American teenagers used to spend their summer vacations holding multiple jobs. However, with the increase in gas prices, teenagers chose to stay at home instead of going out of the town.

"I wish the prices would                                 . The expense  of driving to places is affecting our daily lives," said Alicia Still, a senior at Enochs High School in Modesto, California.

Alicia, who spent her summer at her dad's house, said that there would be no point in getting a job.

"The drive to my workplace is so long that I would hardly be making any profit  because all my money would be going toward gas," she said.

Teenagers are now forced to give up the pleasure of driving around town without purpose. "Instead of driving around looking for something to do, I now find myself planning way in advance so I don't waste necessary gas," said Stephen Macko, a student at Davis High School in Modesto.

What kinds of things are teenagers doing in order to conserve gas?

Alicia saves gas by doing all of her things at one time so she doesn't have to go home and leave again.

"I try to do it all in one trip so I don't have to always be running around and wasting gas," she said. "I know that when I go to lunch with my friends, we make sure to go somewhere near all of our houses so we save gas."

"But it's hard, considering I drive a big truck. I also try to get a lift from my friends when they are going places that I am going." said Stephen.

Some try not to accelerate too much.

Teenagers will have to continue changing their lifestyles unless the price of gas decreases. However, that might not be a bad thing.

請閱讀下面某高三學生寫給編輯的一封短信，然后根據(jù)要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。

Dear editor．

　　I used to imagine the beautiful school life without any pressure, in the beautiful camps like heaven; we experienced lots of new things and enjoyed our youth．At that time I was really happy, even though what we did every day was just sinking ourselves in the boring books．

　　But, I knew I was totally wrong after I came to senior three．We were overloaded with various assignments; we had to memorize a lot of difficult English words so as to achieve higher scores on the exams．In addition, for the sake of our future, we had to take the coursed not only in our own major but also in some related fields．We felt that once we slowed down, we might fall into a low position in class．Too much pressure has injured our mental and physical health as we suffer from nervousness, tiredness, sleeplessness and depression．Many of us have tried very hard at school but they failed in certain examinations and have disappointed their parents．Such students feel that they are less important than everyone else they meet and leave school before they have finished their study．I am just very upset with the present situation and I don’t know what I should do．

Yours sincerely
