As a teenager, school was difficult for me. I had a kind of attention disorder, which means I couldn’t direct my attention to what I was doing. So when everyone else in the class was centering their attention on tasks, I could not.

In my first reading class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all finished in 45 minutes. I immediately put up my hand and said, “Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to finish the task.”

She looked down at me through her glasses, saying, “You are not different from your classmates, young man.” With her encouragement, I tried. But I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.

In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots(点), which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.

Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? With thoughts running through my head, I found myself deeply attracted in reading and writing. I completed the task in less than 40 minutes. I realized that I was not different from others. I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problem, why should I ever give up?

I didn’t expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words, “See what you can do when you keep trying?”

1.School was difficult for the writer because ________.

A.he didn’t like the teacher B.the tasks were too boring to him

C.he got a kind of attention disorder D.his classmates talked with him in class

2.Mrs. Smith’s words in Paragraph 3 show that ________.

A.she encouraged him B.she laughed at him C.she felt sorry for him D.she was pleased with him

3.What can we learn from the passage?

A.Never stop reading. B.Never give up easily. C.How to be a great teacher. D.How to learn as a blind.

I have known Ting for a long time. She was a friend of mine in high school. Ting used to see me as her best friend in my class because, as she said , it was easy to be friends with me .

As a teenager, I had a lot of anger (愤怒) and was not good at communicating with my parents.

One day, when I was getting ready for school, my mother handed me a T-shirt. It was my father's, not mine.

Your third year of middle school was probably a difficult and busy time. You may have had trouble getting enough sleep. We all know that not getting enough sleep is not good for our health. But it has be found that less sleep could even cause you to have fewer friends, the Guardian reported.

According to researchers from the University of California, people who don't get enough sleep are less willing to socialize(社交)with others. They are simply too tired to go out.

The researchers did a small study. They tested 18 young people who had just had a good night's sleep -as well as tested them again after a sleepless night. The participants watched videos of people with expressions walking toward them. When the person on the video got too "close" to them, they pushed a button to stop the video, which recorded how close they allowed the person to get.

The results showed that the participants kept the person at a further distance if they hadn't gotten enough sleep.　 They might think the person intruded their personal space.　 But when the participants got a good night's sleep, they allowed the person to get much closer to them.

According to a lead researcher Matthew Walker, the less sleep you get, the less you want to socialize with others. In turn, other people may think you look strange and stay away from you. This can make you feel lonely and cause you to sleep even less. It becomes a vicious cycle(恶性循环).

So if you want to be a more sociable and popular person, seeping well might help. "One night of good see makes you feel more outgoing and confident." Walker told the Daily Mail.

1.According to the passage, in the third year of your middle school, you may meet ____.

A.schoolwork problems B.sleeping problems

C.feeling problems D.eating problems

2.Why did he researches test 18 young people?

A.They wanted to know how they slept well.

B.They wanted to know how they closed to others.

C.They wanted to how much courage they had.

D.They wanted to know how sleeping influenced them.

3.What does the underlined word “intruded” mean in this passage?

A.丢弃 B.侵犯 C.远离 D.拥有

4.If you get less sleeping, _____________________ .

A.you are easy to get on well with others

B.you'll get much closer to other people

C.it causes you to sleep more the next time

D.you can't be a more social and popular person

5.What's the main idea of the passage?

A.Sleeping well. B.Socializing with other people.

C.A sleeping test. D.Being more outgoing and confident.
