21、   Do you completely understand your teenagers who are between 13 to 19? They may live a happy and meaningful life on condition that you know what changes they are undergoing.

The teenage life is full of happiness, sadness enjoyment and it can he interesting too. This is because in the teenage life a teenager is subjected to physical growth, and hormonal changes. They may be in a stage of conflict like undergoing puppy love. This is only a normal part of life.

Teenagers should enjoy life by making friends with peers in healthy activities such as camping, picnic, swimming and so on. Through friends, a teenager learns to joke, laugh and play to release stress and tension. By making friends, the teenager learns to sweeten his or her joys and even eases the bitterness of life’s downtime.

Many teenagers are very conscious of their physical outlook. It is at this part of their life that beauty strikes as the main self-image. They love to follow up with the latest trends for dressing and hairstyle. Some girls and boys go on a crash diet to slim down in order to look attractive. However, making up is not a must for their good image.

Parents tend to play a role in a teenager’s life. They like to control their freedom and have a say on what the teenagers do. Therefore, teenagers have cases of disagreements, disputes, quarrels and even runaways from homes among some teenage girls. To avoid this, parents should be more in their teenager’s shoes.

There are also negative problems that may pop out during a teenage life. Some teenagers are easily affected by the mass media and the people around them. They may be involved in violent behavior, drugs taking, smoking, drinking and so on. Others tend to let off their anger by destroying public property. There will be more harm than good if nothing is done.

22、Holidays are really important. Many of us will have childhood memories of summer holidays where we were taken away from home to experience new environments and learn in different ways.

But holidays are expensive and, for those on low wages or living on benefits, they are often unobtainable. Even the cheapest holidays require travel and other additional costs that are difficult for many families to meet.

For working parents, the long summer break can be a very difficult problem for childcare. When an annual leave allowance amounts to only five weeks, there is a need to spread this across the year. Couples can find themselves taking leave in turn in order to care for children who are on holiday. For some, this makes even an affordable family holiday difficult.

The schools that I visit in Nottingham are full of experienced staff committed to giving our children a caring and inspiring learning environment. The number of children receiving free school meals is quite large in Nottingham and many schools have breakfast clubs to make sure that children get a healthy start to the day. Most schools undertake programs of group or individual educational support. Schools also have an important role in sofeguaiding children's welfare through the ongoing touch and support with their pupils. During the long summer holidays, much of this is missed.

While teachers are holidaying in the UK, many of their pupils spend the whole six weeks on the street where they live. The lack of free school meals for six weeks can result in pressure on a family budget and an inability to afford the inspiring experiences that help children to continue their learning.

In setting out its plans for a five-term year, Nottingham City Council (委员会)is seeking to reduce the summer holiday down to four and a half weeks, with a more balanced five terms of roughly eight weeks, each followed by a two-week break. We believe this will give real “down time" for school staff and pupils alike but will be short enough not to cause a real break in learning.

We acknowledge that this change may be difficult for some school staff, particularly whose own children are educated in other authorities. However, this must be weighed against the benefits for city children for whom we all have the greatest duty of care.

【1】The passage is probably written by .

A．an experienced teacher

B．a working parent

C．an inspired student

D．a city council member

【2】The underlined word "they" in the second paragraph refers to " ’.

A．environments

B．holidays

C．wages

D．benefits

【3】It is suggested in the passage that the summer break be reduced to.

A．2 weeks

B．4.5 weeks

C．5 weeks

D．6 weeks

【4】The plans for a shorter summer holiday will help students_____ .

A．obtain the cheapest holidays without additional costs

B．get a chance to spend six weeks a term with teachers in school

C．benefit more from the caring and inspiring learning environment

D．have more school days to receive free school meals

【5】It can be inferred from the passage that _______.

A．working parents can enjoy a five-week break to care for their children

B．the suggested plans for a five-term school year can hardly be carried out

C．the long summer holiday gives teachers and students real "down time"

D．some school staff will say “ No" to the plans for a shorter summer holiday

23、Vinisha Umashankar was returning to her home in southern India from school a few years ago when she saw a man throwing away burnt charcoal (木炭) on the side of the street. He worked by ironing people’s clothes for a living-and his main appliance was an old-fashioned iron box, which he filled with hot charcoal that produced a cloud of smoke. Umashankar started thinking about how this was happening across the country, where the ironing vendor (小商贩) is a fixture.

So Umashankar came up with an idea. Instead of using charcoal to heat up the irons, the vendors could use something abundantly available in India: the power of the sun. Over the six months in 2019, when she was just 12 years old, she designed a cart (推车) that had solar panels to power a steam iron. She turned to college-level physics textbooks to get an understanding of how solar panels work. Then, she consulted some engineers about her concept and asked them to assist her in building a model.

And so the Iron-Max was born. It’s a blue-painted cart shaped like an iron box with solar panels fitted on its roof. It’s attached to a bicycle to allow vendors to move through the neighborhood to collect clothes to iron. Five hours of bright sunshine is enough to fully charge and operate the iron for six hours. The energy can be store Dina battery to provide power on cloudy days. The cart also has a coin-operated cellphone and a cellphone charging point where people can pay to recharge their phones to help vendors make extra money.

With her creative invention, Umashankar was invited to give a powerful 5-minute speech at COP26, the UN’s climate change summit in Glasgow, Scotland, in which she urged world leaders to stop talking and start acting.

Last September, Umashankar was named one of 15 finalists for the Earth shot Prize launched by Prince William, Duke of Cambridge. She did not win the prize in her category, “Clean Our Air”, but was praised by judges for being the youngest finalist for the award.

【1】What is the purpose of paragraph 1?

A．To show an Indian girl’s daily routines.

B．To tell the inspiration for the Iron-Max.

C．To point out an environmental problem.

D．To explain how ironing vendors survive.

【2】What did Vinisha Umashankar do to invent the Iron-Max?

A．She turned to some experts for help.

B．She attended lectures in universities.

C．She used charcoal to heat up the irons.

D．She consulted vendors about her concept.

【3】What does the text say about the solar-powered ironing cart?

A．It is not attached to a bicycle.

B．It fails to work on cloudy days.

C．It can offer additional services.

D．It does ironing fully automatically.

【4】What can we infer about Vinisha Umashankar’s invention?

A．It led to the opening of COP26.

B．It was doubted by most judges.

C．It finally won the Earth shot Prize.

D．It received wide recognition.
