Many adults see teens as energetic. Many of us see ourselves as proud. This thinking 1 many adults and us, too, to have the idea that if we can’t handle school or 2 life well, we’re just not trying.
But in my opinion that may not be 3 .
Earlier this school year, I was leaving my class one Friday, 4 suddenly it felt like I had pulled a muscle in my back. I knew I was ill.
After a few days I stopped eating. This meant I lost 5 ; the clothes that I bought two weeks earlier began 6 loose. This time my parents got scared. 7 , I started sleeping less. My eyelids（眼皮）were constantly 8 .
I refused to 9 that I was ill. I kept my job working 25 hours a week in a shop; I didn’t 10 any classes. When I was hurting, I didn’t mind and kept on going. 11 it kills you, it makes you stronger, right?
But now I find myself thinking. Is it 12 it? I’m taking the classes and writing for the newspaper because it looks good 13 college applications. And I’m working 25 hours a week so that, once I get into my dream school, I can 14 it.
Here I am, already sick from the 15 of work I’m doing in and out of school. So, what good is a（n） 16 application if I’m badly ill? What is the 17 of doing this work if I can’t enjoy the results?
In fact, by writing my 18 I’m telling all the people who 19 much about the future and worry about it now. This is my warning: Don’t climb the 20 dive if you don’t like the deep end.

In the United States, 30 percent of the adult (成年人) population has a “weight problem”. To many people, the case is clear: we eat too much. But scientific evidence（證據(jù)）does little to support the idea. Going back to the America of 1910, we find that people were thinner than today. Yet they ate m
ore food. In those days, people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines much less, and didn’t watch TV.
Several modern studies, moreover, have shown that fat people do not eat more on average (平均) than thinner people. In fact, some investigations (調(diào)查), such as a 1990 study of 3,545 London office workers, show that fatter people eat less than slimmer people.
Studies show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by a research group of Stanford University School of Medicine found the following interesting facts:
The more the men ran, the more fat they lost.
The more they ran, the more they ate.
Thus, those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost 
the greatest amount of body fat.
【小題1】What kind of physical problem do many adult Americans have?
| A．They are too thin. | B．They work too hard. |
| C．They are too fat. | D．They lose too much fat. |
| A．poor | B．thin | C．healthy | D．rich |
___.| A．a(chǎn)te more food and had more activities | B．a(chǎn)te less food but had more activities |
| C．a(chǎn)te less food and had less physical activities | D．had more weight problems |
A．Fat people eat less food and ar e less active. |
B．Fat people eat more food than slim people but are les s active. |
| C．Fat people eat more food than slim people but are more active. |
| D．Thin people run less, but have greater increase in food intake. |

At 10 years old, Flynn Mc Garry became sick of the meals his mother cooked for him. So the Los Angeles native took matters into his own hands and started making his own dinners. One of his specialties? Trout with braised leeks(韭蔥燉鮭魚).
Now 13, the young chef is being praised as a “food prodigy(神童)”. He will spend his summer apprenticing with some of the best chefs at LA’s famous restaurants, MSNBC Nightly New reports.
Mc Garry began making a name for himself in the culinary(烹飪) world when John Sedlar, owner of the trendy Playa Restaurant, let Mc Garry take over the kitchen for a special nine-course meal. The meal sold out almost instantly.
“Flynn is a very unusual young man, and he’s very, very passionate,” owner John Sedlar told MSNBC.
By usual teenage boy standards, it’s true. So strong is his passion for cooking that the young man has turned his bedroom into an experimental kitchen laboratory.
Instead of video game consoles, baseball trophies and movie posters, Mc Garry’s room is lined with mixers, pots and pans, cutting boards and a stainless steel worktable. It’s where Mc Garry cooks his monthly pop-up dinners, which are served from his family’s dining room, a monthly supper club he calls Eureka.
Mc Garry is deft(靈巧的) and confident in the kitchen, with skills he’s been practicing since he was a child. What started out as a means of self-preservation from his mom’s unsatisfactory cooking has turned into a passion that the teen hopes to develop into a career.
“My goal? Michelin three stars, a restaurant in the top 50 list,” he told MSNBC. “Hopefully the top five.” Meanwhile, Mc Garry’s 13-year-old resume is already richer and more impressive than most cooks many times his age.
Mc Garry isn’t the only talented young prodigy to surprise experts in his field in recent years. At just 17 years old, physicist Taylor Wilson is already teaching graduate-level courses in physics and has built a functioning nuclear reactor.
1.Mc Garry first started cooking ___________.
A．for himself B．a(chǎn)s an experiment
C．in his own bedroom D．with a teacher’s guidance
2.Compared with many adult chefs, Mc Garry ________.
A．has the best cooking equipment in his kitchen
B．is inventive and has many new specialties to his name
C．has much and impressive cooking experience for his young age
D．wants to open his own Michelin three-star restaurant
3.The author mentions Taylor Wilson in the last paragraph to ______.
A．prove that Flynn’s success is not a rare case
B．compare his talent to that of Flynn Mc Garry
C．introduce a young talent in a different field
D．suggest experts should be trained at a young age
4.Where does this text probably come from?
A．A recipe book B．A restaurant introduction
C．A career guide D．A news report

Every kid wishes to be an adult. But now as grown-ups, some adults find they cannot leave childhood behind.They become "kidults" (kid+adult). Being a kidult has become a lifestyle-choice among young people across Asia.
Some kidults collect toys they once played with. Hello Kitty, Garfield, and Snoopy have many adult fans around the world. It is not unusual to see a 20-something woman with a big, Garfield-shaped cushion (坐墊)on her sofa or a Hello Kitty mobile phone accessory (掛件).
Other kidults still enjoy children's stories and fairy tales. For example, Bloomsbury even published the Harry Potter novels with an adult cover. That way, no one else on the subway will know that an adult is actually reading a children's book!
"Kidults can be like vitamins to society. Adults who value their childhood and hold on to pure, child-like emotion may be needed in such a rough and dry society," said Lee Sojung, professor of Foreign Studies at Hankuk University(韓國外國語大學(xué)). He added that kidult culture may fill the generation gap between adults and kids. It could give children and their parents books, movies, and cartoon shows to enjoy together. He may be right.
Tim Greenhalgh, a professor, explained that some kidults just refuse to grow up. They value childhood because life in a busy and stressful city frightens them. Kidults would like to forget their age and openly show their fear of society and adulthood.
1.
Why did Bloomsbury publish the Harry Potter novels with an adult cover?
A. Bloomsbury knows some kidults don't want people to know that they are kidults
B. Bloomsbury thinks it can attract more readers
C. Bloomsbury knows kidults prefer to chose books for adults in nature
D. Bloomsbury thinks the cover with an adult is better
2.
Being a kidult is good in some way EXCEPT that _______.
A. it is helpful to solve some social problems
B. it can make people listen to their parents
C. it can improve the relationship between parents and their kids
D. it can help kidults feel relaxed
3.
According to the writer, _______.
A. our society is very dull
B. kidults have mental problems
C. being a kidult is nothing wrong
D. some people can never grow up
