In his opinion, many teenagers 55 too much on their parents, and there is much more to learn than cooking like “tidying up your room or even dressing yourself properly”.

The greatest wonder of the natural world
When I arrived. it was early morning and it was raining. I got out of the car. Went through a gate and walked along a path. In the east, the sky was becoming light, but beside the path, it was still very dark . I knew it was there, but there was nothing to see.
After about a kilometer, a stranger appeared in front of me. ―Am I going the right way?‖I asked. He knew where I was going. ―Yes,‖ he replied, ―you will get there in five minutes.‖ Finally, I came to some rocks, and stopped, I looked carefully over them, but it was still too dark to see anything.
Suddenly, the clouds cleared and the rain stopped. The sun rose behind me and beyond the rocks. I saw that the ground fell away and down to a river, far below me. I was on the edge of the Grand Canyon, one of the wonders of the natural world. I looked down to the Colorado River about 2 kilometres below me. If you put the three tallest buildings in the world at the bottom of the canyon, they still won‘t reach the top. Then I looked across to the other side of the canyon. How far is it ? It‘s 20 kilometres, maybe more. Finally, I looked to my left and to my right, and on both sides the canyon disappeared into the distance……over 400 kilometres long. The Grand Canyon is not just big. It‘s huge!
That morning on the edge of the canyon, I asked myself a question. It‘s not ―How deep is it?‖ or ―How wide is it?‖ or ―How long is it?‖ but ―Is the Grand Canyon the greatest wonder anywhere in the natural world?‖ I know the answer. But what do you think?
1. Where may the passage come from?
A. A guidebook. B. A grammar book.C. A dictionary. D. A diary. 2. Why was there nothing to see?
A. Because there was nothing. B. Because it was too dark.
C. Because it was raining. D. Because it was in the morning. 3. Where was the writer facing on the edge of the Grand Canyon?
A. To the south. B. To the north. C. To the east. D. To the west. 4. What is the writer‘s purpose in writing this passage?
A. To give facts about the Grand Canyon.

When mum asks you to smoke outside, you think she‘s just being difficult. Well, it‘s true that she doesn‘t like the smell of smoke in the house and on our clothes. It‘s not very pleasant. However, when you smoke, it‘s also bad for me and mum. In
other words, when we breathe in your smoke, it‘s like we‘re smoking ourselves. As a result , we can get diseases as well. Doctors are finding that more and more non-smokers are falling ill because of the effects of other people‘s smoking.
I know that it is very difficult to stop smoking but you mustn‘t give in(屈服) to it. Please see the doctor and sak him for help. We will do anything we can to help you.

Visions of the city
Jo is 15 and lives in Parkville. When Jo‘s grandparents first came to Parkville 50 years ago, it was a quiet country village in the centre of the country. At that time, they had a small house on the edge of town, with some fields and the hills in the distance .
But Parkville was close to a big city, Arnwick with about 200,000 people. People from the countryside began to arrive in Arnwick to find jobs and have a better life.
