Here are two letters to George and his answers.
| Dear George,
I’m fourteen and I’m much shorter for my age. What’s worse, I’m very fat. I want to lose
weight to be 55 kg and to be taller and then I can go to the school basketball team and enjoy
myself. Can you help me?
Bob |
| Dear Bob,
Don’t worry if you’re shorter than your friends. Teenagers（青少年）grow at different times.
It doesn’t matter how heavy you are. You are still the same person. Plan your meals with your
mum, and she can help you lose weight. Also, try to take more exercise.
George |
| Dear George,
I’m learning French but I don’t get good marks. I don’t know why. Sometimes I want to give
up. But I know I shouldn’t because languages are going to be very important. What should I do?
Alice |
| Dear Alice,
You are right. You should never give up, and I’m sure that you’ve made more progress than
you think. You can talk to your teacher and ask her what you should do to get a better grade. Talk to your friends who are good at French. Find something that helps you.
George |

| During Beijing’s two sessions (两会), many proposals and suggestions were referred to. Here are three problems that might interest you. |
| Smartphone ban (禁止) 
| According to the survey made last year, 68.1 percent of Chinese school students have their own smartphones. Lei Yanqin, a deputy of NPC, suggested that smartphones should be banned at schools nationwide. She said that listening to music and playing games in class not only disturb teachers, but also make it difficult for students to listen carefully. She added that students might also show off (炫耀) their phones too much. |
| New uniform designs 
| Most junior high schools in China require students to wear a uniform. However, only three in ten students are satisfied with their uniforms, as they think they are old-fashioned and of poor quality, China Education Daily reported. The Revolutionary Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang Central Committee suggested that the uniforms could be redesigned. The committee said the new design could include more elements (元素) of traditional Chinese culture. They added that better quality clothing should be used to make the uniforms so that they will be more comfortable to wear. |
| Video game rating system 
| Over 200 million teenagers across China play online games like King of Glory, Guangming Daily reported. With their computers and ipads, teenagers are able to play most online games produced in China and abroad. However, some violent games might not be suitable for young people. Many NPC deputies suggested that a rating system (分级制度) for online games should be introduced. All games would be sorted into age groups according to their content. Players would have to provide their ID numbers before playing certain games. |
1.What isn’t mentioned in the passage?
A.Out-of-school training. B.Smartphone ban.
C.New uniform designs. D.Video game rating system.
2.How does Lei Yanqin like smartphones?
A.They are necessary in schools.
B.They are causing lots of trouble in schools.
C.They can help students take notes quickly.
D.They should be banned in schools worldwide.
3.What’s the function of the video game rating system?
A.Making online games more popular.
B.Limiting the number of online games.
C.Protecting teenagers from unsuitable games.
D.Stopping teenagers from playing online games.
4.What’s the writing purpose of the passage?

B.To stop students from using smartphones.
C.To tell the readers the importance of education.
D.To spread the information about Beijing’s two sessions.

Answer the questions according to the passage.
Years ago, if a teenager had some problems in his or her daily life, he or she might write them in the diary (日记). However, now a teenager with the same problems might go online and write them in the blog (博客). In many ways, a diary and a blog are almost the same. They both tell what happened to the writer that day. So what makes a blog different from a diary?
The biggest difference is that a blog is the one much more people can read than a diary. When I was at my sister’s age, I wrote about the same things, but in my diary. And I would put my diary in a safe place because I was afraid that others might read it.
Now teenagers choose to write in blogs because they know their friends will read what they write. If my sister writes in her blog “Nobody cares about me”, her best friends will quickly read and tell her how much they like her.
If people are caring about what they write, blogs are a very good way to write about the everyday life. However, I still like the old diary better.
1.What might a teenager do when he or she had some problems in the daily life years ago?
___________________________________________________
2.In what way are a diary and a blog almost the same?
____________________________________________________
3.Why do teenagers choose to write in blogs now?
______________________________________________________
4.What’s the biggest difference between a blog and a diary?
________________________________________________________
5.Which do you like better, a diary or a blog?
________________________________________________________
