Most people like to make a good impression (給…留下好印象) on other people. This is true when they look 【1】 a job, when they go to a party, or when they go out 【2】 their friends. Dressing well is one of the ways of 【3】 a good impression.

Different countries have different ideas of dressing well. In the United States, people think that dressing well means dressing simply and suitably(適合地，適宜地). For example, fancy clothes are not suitable for school or for work. They do not wear 【4】 clothes in the winter, or heavy clothes in the summer, nor would it be comfortable.

Dressing with too 【5】 colors or ornaments (裝飾品) is not in good taste. Too much of anything is extreme. Simple clothes are easy to find and they can be bought 【6】, too. They are always in style and in good taste.

Simple and suitable clothes are worth (值得) having for children, too. A little girl does not feel comfortable when she is wearing a party dress and all the other girls in school are wearing 【7】 clothes. A little boy is not happy when he is the only boy in his class without a tie. 【8】“different” is never comfortable for a child.

There is an old saying which reads, “When in Rome, do as the 【9】do.” When you live in the United States, you will be much 【10】 if you learn to dress simply and suitably.

I started English when I was a child because of Michael Jackson. He has been my idol(偶像) 【1】 1991. I really wanted to understand him and his music. I liked using a dictionary to learn slowly the meaning of words of songs written 【2】 him.

There was a lot of work to do to learn English, but I never felt 【3】 .At first, I learned about pronunciation, which was the 【4】 part for me. Because music was my only source(來源) of spoken English. 【5】 I had to use a pronunciation dictionary. Then I made lists of words in order to 【6】 them. I would spend hours 【7】 English grammar, too. What’s more, I read a lot. I also 【8】 my best to translate texts, dialogues and songs into English.

Because of my hard work, my English 【9】 a lot. In the end, I entered a college and had a 【10】 to further improve my English . Now I am an English teacher. And I am still making progress in English.

Next time you're in a public place, take a look around you, and count how many people are using their mobile phones. I can tell you now that it is probably more than half, whether you're on public transport, in a café or simply walking down the street.With the development of technology, we can now do almost anything on the mobile phones. How does the use of mobile phones affect(影響) the young? Do they really need mobile phones or not? Some British parents, teachers and teenagers give their opinions on this subject.

Parents want their kids to be safe. Are teenagers safer with a mobile phone or without? William, a parent of two kids, says, "The great thing about my kids having mobile phones is that I can keep in touch with them. The worst thing about teenagers having phones is that some young people use them to send impolitemessages to each other." Some parents have rules about their children's mobile phone and internet usage. If they break the rules, their phones will be kept by their parents.

In the UK, students can take their mobile phones to school,but they are not allowed to use them in class. Some teachers complain(抱怨) that students don’t always follow the rules. They don't listen carefully in class because they are using their phones to surf the internet, chat with friends or so on. As for the students, most of them think phones are part of their lives. They can keep in touch with family and friends, and they can take photos, keep important information and surf the internet, which is very convenient(方便). Some consider phones as a kind of fashion(時(shí)尚) and they don't want others to see them as "out" or "different".

It’s true that mobile phones have become a symbol of the modern life. This form of technology makes teenagers' life much more convenient, but if teenagers depend too much on them, it can lead to serious problems. Increasingly scientists are saying that everyone needs a break from mobile phones —put them away and experience “the real life”. In fact it can be very easy—next time when you go out with friends, put all of your phones in the middle of the table. Whoever touches his phone first has to pay the bill!

Indeed, the convenience brought by mobile phones is great, but don't let your phone become more important than the “real”people in your “real”life.

【1】The mobile phones will probably be kept by parents if the teenagers________.

A. go out with classmates and friends and pay the bill

B. search for a lot of important information and keep it

C. take them to school and look up new words after class

D. send impolitemessages and surf the Internet too much

A. All students consider mobile phones as a kind of fashion.

B. Teachers allow students to use mobile phones in class in the UK.

C. Parents often count how many young people are using mobile phones.

D. More and more scientists think people need a break from mobile phones.

【3】What does the writer mainly want to tell us?

A. Schools should stop students from taking their phones to school.

B. The mobile phone is the most important invention in modern life.

C. Mobile phones are useful but teenagers shouldn’t totally depend on them.

D. Talking with friends on mobile phones is better than doing it face to face.

Then the white rabbit saw Alice.
“What are you doing here, Mary Ann?” he asked. “Go home right away and bring me a fan and a pair of white gloves.”
Alice was too afraid to tell him she was not Mary Ann, a servant. So she ran off.
“I'll try and find his fan and gloves,” she thought when she ran.
She soon came to a little house. There was a name on the door, “W. Rabbit.”
She went inside without knocking on the door. “How strange this all is!” she thought. “I am running errands for a rabbit. Perhaps Dinah will ask me to run errands for her.”
She ran up the stairs into a little bedroom, and there she found a pair of gloves and a fan. She picked them up and was going to leave when she saw a bottle. It was near a looking glass. On the side of the bottle were the words “Drink me.”
“I'll drink some,” Alice thought. “Perhaps it will make me grow again. I am tired of being so small.”
She quickly drank half the bottle. Before she could get out of the little house, she started to grow. Soon, she was so big, she could not move in the room.
