For the first time, Zhang Shengyu, a student from Laiyang Middle School in Shandong, didn?t ask her mother to buy her a new schoolbag or any new pens for the beginning of the school term. “My old schoolbag can still be used, so there is no need to buy a new one,”

Zhang said, “I?ve decided to be thrifty from now on.” As the center of the family?s attention, many of the one-child generation (一代人) do not know about the hardships of life. They sometimes have no idea of the value of things. Many students would throw away pens and erasers that haven?t been used up and buy new ones. Some like to compete with each other to see whose clothes and school things are more expensive. On its website in January, the Ministry of Education called on students to form good habits such as working hard, being helpful and thrifty, to avoid wasting food and to pay more attention to study and others. Many schools consider teaching the value of money to be an important lesson and encourage their students to be thrifty. Students at No. 44 Middle School of Shijiazhuang, Hebei planted many fruit trees in their school. Through taking care of the trees, the students learned how to value things. At Tie Yi Middle School in Xi?an, students organized a group to collect waste and reuse them. “What we students do are small things, but I think with everyone?s work, we can make a difference,” said Li Dongdong, 16, a student from the group. 51. The underlined word “thrifty” in Paragraph 1 means ______.

A. giving money to the poor B. spending lots of money C. spending no money at all D. using money carefully and wisely 52. Many of the one-child generation usually ______. A. waste things B. know about the hardships of life

C. don?t know the prices of many things D. like competition with each other in study

53. In January, the Ministry of Education called on students to do the followings EXCEPT _________.

A. took care of trees B. planted fruit trees C. collected waste D. didn?t ask his mother for a new school bag 55. What is the best title of the passage? A. School activities B. Waste not, want not

Having a teenager at home can be a real headache. Many teenagers smoke, drink and even fight. They often do something dangerous. Earlier studies have shown that teenagers are more likely (可能) to make irrational decisions than people from any other age group, including children and adults. Is it that teenagers are too young to tell right from wrong? Not really. So what?s the reason? According to Laurence, a teacher from a US university, the reason is that teenagers care a lot about how their peers (同龄人) view them—that is “peer influence”. As children enter their teenage years, they spend more time with their friends and
