Many teenagers(青少年) feel that the most important people in their lives are their friends. They believe that their family members don’t know them as well as their friends do. In large families, it is quite often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they can only go to their friends for some ideas．
It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or a group of friends. Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking among themselves on the phone. This communication is very important in children’s growing up, because friends can discuss something. These things are difficult to tell their family members.
However, parents often try to choose their children’s friends for them. Some parents may even stop their children from meeting their good friends. Have you ever thought of the following questions?
Who chooses your friends?
Do you choose your friends or your friends choose you?

All over the world people enjoy sports. Sports help to keep people healthy, happy and help them to live longer. Sports change with the season.

Some sports are so interesting that people everywhere go in for them. Football, for example, has spread around the world. Swimming is popular in all countries near the sea or in those with many rivers.

Each new school year brings fresh reminders of what educators call the summer learning gap．Some call it the summer learning setback．Simply speaking，it means the longer kids are out of "school，the more they forget．The only thing they might gain is weight.
Most American schools follow a traditional nine-month calendar with winter and spring breaks and about ten weeks of summer vacation．Some schools follow a year-round calendar．They hold classes for about eight weeks at a time，with a few weeks off in between．The National Association for Year-Round Education says there were fewer than 3,000 such schools at last count．They were spread among forty-six of the fifty states.
But many experts point out that the number of class days in a year-round school is generally the same as in a traditional school．Lead researcher Paul von Hippel said，“Year-round schools don"t really solve the problem of the summer learning setback．They simply spread it out across the year.
Across the country，research shows that students from poor families fall farther behind over the summer than other students．Experts say this can be prevented．They note that many schools and local governments offer programs that can help.
But calling them “summer school” could be a problem．The director of the summer learning center at Johns Hopkins，Ron Fairchild，said research with groups of different parents in Chicago and Baltimore found that almost all strongly disliked the term “summer school”．In American culture，the idea of summer vacation is connected to beliefs about freedom and the joys of childhood．The parents welcomed other terms like “summer camp,” “extra time” and “hands-on learning.”

小题3:Which of the following statements is true?| A．Students from poor families often fall behind after the vocation. | | B．Year-round schools can solve the problem of the learning gap. | | C．There are schools in each state following a year-round calendar． | | D．Nothing can help the students who fall behind after the vocation. |
小题4:Why did almost all parents dislike the term “summer school”?| A．They cherish the children"s rights of freedom very much. | | B．They are worried about the quality of the “summer school”． | | C．They want their children to be forced to make up the gap. | | D．They can"t afford to the further study during the vacation. |

Hidden in a small street in the south end of Springfield, not far from buildings torn apart by the tornado（龙卷风） earlier this year, Frigo’s is an Italian restaurant right in our own backyard.
Frigo’s is not a tiny place. It provides different kinds of Italian food. There are refrigerator cases full of prepared foods and desserts, and shelves filled with olives and various pasta.
There’s some traditional Italian music and the smell is of olive oil and garlic（大蒜）. Above the largest refrigerator case, there’s a chalk board covered with desriptions of more Italian sandwiches than I could remember.
I stepped into Frigo’s almost by accident when I had to stay in Springfield into the evening for an open house at the school where I work. Frigo’s is the perfect place to find something quick to go. There are no tables, so all food is taken out. I also thought it would be a great place to pick up some already-prepared food to bring home for dinner.
I ordered the easiest meal possible: a chicken sandwich and a salad. It cost＄4.75 for the sandwich. The salad was＄4.99 and didn’t have salad dressing on it. I must have missed the choice of salad dressing on the way out. The sandwich was great—great chicken, excellent tomato sauce and not too much cheese.
I wish I had tried one of the many other sandwiches which include Joe’s Favorite (＄5.25-＄6.75) and the Dante (King) which is made of turkey breast, roasted red peppers, asiago cheese and choice of dressing.
I have a feeling that I’ll be picking up dinner for me and the kids at Frigo’s soon.
小题1: Who would be most likely to go to eat at Frigo’s?| A．People who want to eat quietly in a nice restaurant. | | B．People who want to enjoy home-made food | | C．People who like traditional American food | | D．People who are fond of Italian food |
小题2: Which of the following cannot be seen at Frigo’s?| A．A chalk board covered with descriptions of sandwiches | | B．Refrigerator cases full of prepared foods and desserts | | C．Shelves filled with olives and different kinds of pasta | | D．Customers eating happily around tables |
小题3:How much did the writer pay for his first meal at Frigo’s?| A．＄4.75 | B．＄5.25 | C．＄9.74 | D．＄4.99 |
小题4:We can infer that “Joe’s Favorite” and “Dante” are the names of .| A．sandwiches | B．salads | C．cheese | D．peppers |
小题5:We can infer from the passage that the writer .| A．seldom eats out in a restaurant with his family | | B．feels very happy that be has found Frigo’s | | C．dislikes eating sandwiches | | D．lives a very relaxing life |
