Manu, an eight-year-old boy, was sleeping comfortably in his bedroom. After a weekend break from his school, Manu failed to get up on time on Monday morning again.
"Manu, wake up. It's time for you to go to school," shouted out Manu's mother, Akhila, from the kitchen. Manu pulled the blanket over him and pretended he didn't hear his mother's repeated shouting. "Manu! Please wake up! It's already 6:30 and your school bus will be here in ten minutes. Wake up and get ready. "
After much yelling, Manu finally got up lazily when the school bus stopped in front of the house. Akhila had to ask the driver to wait for a few minutes. She quickly helped Manu get ready and helped him get on his school bus.

Akhila could no longer see her son crying and said, "Just promise me one more thing that you will do your daily task on time without pestering you to do it. "
"Sure Mamma! I promise!"
Akhila said in a loving voice, "I have already got permission from your math teacher and she has allowed you to take up the test today. "

When I was a kid, my siblings(兄弟姐妹) and I used to have ice cream for dessert. Every day, we would choose which ice cream flavor to have. Then we would happily wolf down our ice cream as fast as we could.
Once when I was probably about 10 or 11, our grandpa came to visit. Grandpa always had a different view on things. At that time, my sister and I were making bets as to who could finish their ice cream first. With a smile, Grandpa said, “Why would you want to finish first If you eat slowly, it will last longer. You should have a competition to see who can finish last.” Even now, I always try to taste my ice cream, but of course this is about more than just dessert.
Too often, kids want to scramble(争夺) for more, whether it’s more ice cream, more toys, or more friends. This habit persists into our adult years. We never develop the skill of treasuring what we have. If we learn to recognize this pattern and change it, we will have a happier life.
What my grandpa taught me that day was really that if you take the chance to enjoy what’s in front you, the pleasure will last longer. It’s a lesson that, I think, has made my adult life happier, as well. These days, when I want something, I wait as long as I can before I allow myself to have it. Then, when I finally get it, I make sure to treasure it as long as possible, because I know that, no matter what it is, it will be gone all too soon.

Ed Viesturs grew up in Rockford, Illinois, where the tallest thing on the horizon was the water tower. But on Thursday, Viesturs became the only American to climb to the top of the world's 14 highest mountains.
His last hike was up Mount Annapurna, in Asia's snowcapped Himalayas. At 26,345 feet, its peak is the 10th highest in the world. It is the mountain that inspired him to start climbing.
"It tends to be the trickiest, the most dangerous," said Viesturs "There's no simple way to climb it. There are threatening avalanches （雪崩） and ice falls that protect the mountain."
In high school, Viesturs read French climber Maurice Herzog's tale of climbing the icy Annapurna. Herzog's story was of frostbite （冻伤） and difficulty and near-death experiences. Viesturs was hooked right away.
Viesturs got his start on Washington's Mount Rainier 1977, guiding hikes in the summer. 15 years ago, he set out walk up to the world's highest peaks. Finally, he's done.
The pioneering climber talks about mountains as if they were living creatures that should be treated with respect. "You have to use all of your senses, all of your abilities to see if the mountain will let you climb it." said Viesturs. "If we have the patience and the respect, and if we're here at the right time, under the right conditions, they allow us to go up, and allow us to come down."
What's next for a man who can't stop climbing I'm going to hug my wife and kids and kind of kick back and enjoy the summer,” says Viesturs. But for a man who has climbed the world's 14 tallest mountains, he will probably soon set off on another adventure.
16. What record has Ed Viesturs set
A. He has succeeded in climbing to the world's 14th highest mountain.
B. He has been to the top of the world's 14 highest mountains.
C. He has become the first man to climb to the top of 14 highest mountains in the world.
D. He has become the first to climb to the height of 26,545 feet.
17. The underline word "hooked" in Paragraph 4 means "__________" .
A. frightened B. discouraged C. interested D. upset
18. What Viesturs said in Paragraph 6 supports the view that
A. mountain climbing is a dangerous sport
B. mountains should be regarded as living creatures
C. those who like mountain climbing won’t stop climbing
D. mountain climbing needs more skills than physical energy

Although love can make adults live healthily and happily, it is a bad thing for young people. Puppy love （早恋） may bring stress for young people and can lead to depression（沮丧）. The study shows that girls become more depressed than boys, and younger girls are the worst of all.
The possible reason for the connection between love and higher risk of depression for girls is "loss of self" . According to the study, even though boys would say "lose themselves in a romantic relationship" , this "loss of self" is much more likely to lead to depression when it happens to girls. Young girls who have romantic relationships usually like hiding their feelings and opinions. They won't tell that to their parents.
Dr Marian Kaufman, an expert on young people problems, says 15% to 20% young people will have depression during their growing. Trying romance often causes the depression. She advises kids not to jump into romance too early. During growing up, it is important for young people to build strong friendships and a strong sense of self. She also suggests the parents should encourage their kids to keep close to their friends, attend more interesting school activities and spend enough time with family.
Parents should watch for signs of depression---eating or mood changes---and if they see signs from their daughters or sons, they need to give help. The good news is that the connection between romance and depression seems to become weak with age. Love will always make us feel young, but only maturity （成熟） gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects.
11. Which people are more likely to have depression
A. Young people who always have a strong sense of selfishness.
B. Young girls who always hide their feelings and opinions.
C. Young boys whose parents watch for their behavior.
D. Careless parents whose children are deep in love.
12. The underlined word "it" in Paragraph 2 refers to "__________"
A. loss of self B. higher risk of depression
C. a romantic relationship D. hiding their feelings and opinions
13. What can we learn from the passage
A. The older a woman is, the less likely she seems to lose herself in romance.
B. Lacking love can lead young people to grow up more quickly.
C. Early love makes young people keep close to their friends.
D. Love can make all people live healthily and happily.
14. What's the writer attitude towards puppy love
A. Surprised B. Disinterested C. Scared D. Disagree.
15. What's the main idea of the passage
A. Puppy love may bring young people depression.
B. Parents should not allow their children’s love.
C. Romance is a two--edged sword for adults.
D. Romance is good for young people.
