As a teen myself, I’ve seen first-hand the pleasing effects of poetry. Not too long ago, I went on stage to read my poetry at writing workshop, thinking anxiously to myself: Would the audience understand me? More than being nervous about the quality of my poem, I felt anxious about what my voice would sound like. At the time, I was 14, and still suffering from a speech disorder (语言障碍) that had affected me since began talking. As I stood, I experienced a sudden appreciation for the blinding lights. I couldn’t see everyone’s face! That made things much easier. I opened my book and began to read.
After the writing workshop, I gained the confidence to read my own work aloud. I learned that writing wasn’t about pronunciation, but about style and the author’s voice. This lesson helped me grow on endless occasions in my life, convincing me that poetry can have an astonishing influence when taught to teens.
One organization that I am part of, WriteGirl, through monthly creative writing workshops, gives girls the skills they need for a brighter future. Although WriteGirl doesn’t only focus on poetry, the organization still uses poetry to teach, inspire and empower girls all across Los Angeles. While the high school graduation rate in Los Angeles is only 80 percent, every year 100 percent of WriteGirl teens not only graduate from high school, but go to college.
But are these advantages becoming needless with the fast development of technology being placed in young hands?
It seems the answer is quite the opposite—technology has opened whole new world for young poets and writers. On KidBlog, young students can post their poems as a blog post on which others can leave their opinions. The Internet makes it easier for viewers to read poetry. Many people are discovering or rediscovering that poetry is fun and creates many opportunities for self-expression.
As I stepped up to read my writing at the workshop, I learned that poetry is about having a voice, and the courage to use it. With this courage, we free ourselves and become able to influence others.
1.How did the workshop influence the author?
A.It aided her in making a long speech.
B.It contributed to her personal growth.
C.It improved her communication skills.
D.It made her begin to take speech disorder seriously.
2.What can we learn about WriteGirl?
A.It is beneficial to girls’ studies.
B.It brings out girls’ poetic skills.
C.It encourages girls to teach poetry.
D.It helps girls become famous writers.
3.Which of the following may the author agree with?
A.Poetry is old-fashioned in modern times.
B.Technology makes creating poetry easier.
C.Technology serves as a useful tool for poetry.
D.The Internet slows down the development of poetry.
4.What is the best title of the text?
A.How poetry gave me a voice
B.Why teens don’t read poetry
C.Approaches to learning poetry
D.Influence of technology on poetry

Television has opened windows in everybody’s life. 55Millions of people now have seen the effects of a battle. And the result has been a general dislike of the war and perhaps more interest in helping those who suffer from all the terrible things that have been shown on the screen.
56The most distant areas can now follow state affairs, see and hear the politicians before an election. Better informed, people are more likely to vote, and so to make their opinion count.
57 Children do not have enough experience to realize that TV shows present an unreal world, that TV advertisements lie to sell products that are sometimes bad or useless. They believe and want to practice what they see. 58.
All educators agree that the “television generation” are more violent than their parents and grandparents. Also, the young are less patient. Used to TV shows, where everything is quick and interesting, they do not have the patience to read an article without pictures, t read a book that requires thinking, to listen to a teacher who doesn’t do funny things like the people on children’s programs. And they expect all problems to be solved happily in ten, fifteen , or thirty minutes. 59 .
| A．Unfortunately, television’s influence has been extremely harmful to the young. |
| B．Young men will never again go to war as they did in 1914. |
| C．That’s the time it takes on the screen. |
| D．They do believe that the violence they see is normal and acceptable. |
E. People have become used to crimes now.
F. Television has also changed politics.
G. In the past, many young people were willing to be soldiers.

It used to be an American tradition: as soon as school let out for the summer, many teens ______ their fast food uniform or grocery store apron and went to ______ at a summer job. But the ______ that seemed routine for people of the ______ is becoming a rarity.
When Pew ______ the average employment rates of ______ during summer months between 1948 and 2018, it found that the number of teens who do summer jobs has ______ in recent decades. In 1974 and 1984, over 55 percent of teens between the ages of 16 and 19 held jobs during July. ______ that number fell to just below 45 percent in 2004 — and by 2018, things were even ______, with only 31.6 percent of teens ______ during the summer.
Pew notes that the ______ a teen is, the less likely he is to ______ a job. Last summer, 20 percent of 16-and 17-year-olds had jobs and 43.6 percent of 18-and 19-year-olds were employed.
Why aren’t kids ______ more work? It’s tricky. Pew cites falling youth employment over time, but notes that other ______ like early school schedules and the rise of ______ summer internships (实习) might be to blame. And the Bureau of Labor Statistics does not ______ unpaid internships as employment, so all the teens doing internships aren’t being counted in these estimates (估算).
But ______ summer employment doesn’t just mean more time to______ with friends. It can have ______ effects on teens who don’t get a ______ to build their job skills, says Andrew Sum, a youth employment expert. He told the Pew Charitable Trusts’ Christine Vestal that for every year teens work, they can expect a 14 to 16 percent rise in their income during their twenties.

Teens don’t understand the big fuss. As the first generation to grow up in a wired world, they hardly know a time when computers weren’t around, and they eagerly catch the chance to spend hours online, chatting with friends. So what?
But researchers nationwide are increasingly worried that teens are becoming isolated, less skillful at person-to-person relationships, and perhaps numb to the cheatings that are so much a part of the e-mail world. “and a teen’s sense of self and values may be changed in a world where personal connections can be limitless,” said Sherry Turkle.
Another researcher, Robert Kraut, said he’s worried about the “opportunity costs” of so much online time for youths. He found that teens who used computers, even just a few hours a week, showed increased signs of loneliness and social isolation. “Chatting onine may be better than watching television, but it’s worse than hanging out with real friends,” he said.
Today’s teens, however, don’t see anything strange in the fact that the computer takes up a central place in their social lives, “School is busy and full of pressure. There’s almost no time to just hang out.” said Parker Rice, 17. “Talking online is just catch up time.”
Teens say they feel good about what they say online or taking the time to think about a reply. Some teens admit that asking someone for a date, or breaking up, can be easier in message form, though they don’t want to do so. But they insist there’s no harm.
1.She researchers argue that___．
A．teens may develop a different sense of values
B．nothing is wrong with teens' chatting online
C．teens can manage their social connections
D．spending hours online does much good to teens
2.Teens think that talking online can help them ____．
A．use computers properly B．improve their school work
C．develop an interest in social skills D．reduce their mental pressures
3.The text mainly deals with __ _．
A．teens' pleasant online experience
B．teens' computer skills and school work
C．the effects of the computer world on teens
D．different opinions on teens' chatting online
4.The purpose of the text is to ____．
