If you are a teenage boy, and you want to succeed in life, you'd better read this great book.

"From Boys to Men" by an American author, Michael Gurian, tells teenage boys that they are living through the best years of their lives. There is no reason for them not to love life.

You may think that only your body is growing at the moment. But the book says your mind is growing, too. The book tells teenage boys that they need to help their bodies and minds grow. To do this, they should stop spending their time playing computer games and should start playing sports. Sports, the book says, keep you healthy and teach you important life skills. They teach you how to be a leader and how to work as part of a team.

The book also tells boys how to love life if they're being bullied (被欺负). It says boys have to stop being scared (害怕的) of such bullies. It is the only way they can become more successful people.

To become the man you want to be, you have to think for yourself and believe in yourself. But, most importantly, the book says, you must always dream of success. Never be happy with what you've got, and always want more.

When I was a teenager growing up in Russia, I wanted to leave school and have my own life. The only way I could do this was to work in the local brick factory in my town, or get married. I was nervous when I told my father I wanted to leave school. I thought he would say, “No! You are going to college.” He took me by surprise when he said, “OK. We’ll go to the brick factory.”

Two days later, he took me to the factory. I had a very romantic idea of working in a factory. I had imagined everyone to be friends working together and having fun. I even imagined there would be music and singing. I guess I had watched too many movies as a teenager.

When we arrived at the factory gate, my father spoke to the guard and one minute later we were inside. My father said, “Take your time. Look around.” I walked around the factory looking at the building, the workers, and listening to the noise. It was horrible. I ran back to my father and said, “I want to go home.”

He asked me, “What do you think of the factory?”

“It’s terrible,” I replied.

“And marriage is even worse!” he said.

I went back to school the next day thinking about studying hard so I could get into a good college. I enjoyed studying English so I decided to major in languages at college. Thanks to my father and our trip to the brick factory, I now work at the United Nations and my father is very proud of me. I married a very good man and my life is much better than it would have been working in the factory!

If we want to deal with the association(社交) between boys and girls properly, here are some “dos and don’ts” for you to follow.

Keep a normal and healthy state of mind. Our schools and classes are made up of boys and girls. It is very nature for the boys and girls to make friends with each other. We should make as many friends as possible. We should get on with the other sex(性别) in public instead of in secret.

Don’t be too nervous or too shy. If you are a shy person, you can also find a way out. First of all, you can make friend with the students who have the same interest and hobby as you. As both of you have much in common, you may have much to talk about. If you keep doing like that, little by little, you will gladly find you are also as free to express yourself as others.

Don’t fall into the ditch of early love. The boys and girls at a adolescence (青春期) are rich in feeling. They are easy to regard the friendship as a sign of love and fall in love with each other at an early age. Early love is a green apple that can’t be eaten. An apple won’t taste sweet until it is full ripe(成熟). Boys and girls at middle school are too young to carry the heavy duty of love. Do keep out of early love.

1.The main idea of the passage is to _______.

A. tell students to keep away from early love

B. give some advice on how to associate between boys and girls

C. tell students how to make friends

D. teach boys how to talk with girls

2.We should get on with the other sex in following ways EXCEPT _______.

A. with a good state of mind　　 B. in real friendship

C. in public　 　　　　　　　　　　　 D. in secret

3. If you are a shy person, you can ________.

A. find friends with the same interest and hobby first

B. only have a few friends of the same sex

C. not make friends with the other sex

D. not fall in love with other students easily

4. What does the underlined word “ditch” mean?

A. 波浪　　　 B. 泥潭　　　　 C. 圈套　　　　 D. 迷惑

5.A person at adolescence is ________.

A. complicated(复杂的)in feelings

B. good at making friends with each other

C. old enough to fall in love

D. easy to regard the friendship as a sign of love
