The Teens & Self-Image survey organized by USA WEEKEND attracted an unprecedented (空前的)272,400. The majority of teens say they feel good about themselves, but many express misgivings(疑慮) about who they are, especially about their appearance.
    The results show that looks are key. Only 4 in 10 respondents consider themselves attractive. Half the girls want to lose weight. It is found that problems typically associated with girls are now becoming more visible in boys. Teen respondents believe good looks matter when it comes to personal achievement, specifically making friends, winning the respect of others, and succeeding in life.
    Teens find lots of imperfections. Almost 85 percent cite ways they’d like to improve. After losing weight and toning up(健美), the top three are their grades, doing better in sports, and having a better relationship with their parents. Only 15 percent like themselves “the way I am.”
    Faith is central in many students’ everyday lives. When asked about the most important influence in their lives, survey respondents picked religion second only to their parents.
    Depression is common. More than half say they occasionally are “really depressed”; 1 in 5 often feel despondent(沮喪的). And 1 in 3 have friends who have talked about or actually tried to commit suicide―the third leading cause of death among 15 to 24-year-olds. Last year, about 2,000 teens committed suicide, and the rate of adolescent suicide has greatly increased in the past 10 years, studies show.
    Teens show a healthy self-respect. Asked to choose from a list of qualities, 8 in 10 say they are kind, 3 in 4 say they are honest, and 7 in 10 say they have a good sense of humor. Slightly more than 6 in 10 say they are smart, self-confident or creative. Least admired of a dozen qualities they were asked to rank: being popular, rich or tough.

49.Which one of the following is the best title of the passage?

A.      Looks And Imperfections of American Teenagers

B.      Faiths And Depression of American teenagers

C.      Looks And Self-respect of American Teenagers

D.     Self-image of American Teenagers

50.   What has the greatest effect on American students’ daily lives according to the survey?

A. Religion.          B. Their parents.          C. Imperfections.                D. Depression.

51.   Teenagers believe that    plays an important part in making friends, winning the respect of others and succeeding in life.

   A. faith                        B. appearance              C. ability                    D. depression

Teens who become addicted to their cell phones may be placing their health at risk by harming their ability to sleep well,a new Swedish study suggests.

"The message is that teenagers who use their cell phones excessively are much more stressed, much more restless, much more tired, and have a great tendency to develop sleep deprivation(剝奪) as a result of their calling habits, " said the study author Dr. Gaby Bader.

He focused on the experiences of 21 healthy Swedish boys and girls between the ages of 14 and 20. The teens kept what the authors described as "regular working/studying hours" and were not previously diagnosed with any particular sleep irregularity.

He observed that the above-15 call group kept more irregular sleeping hours than the lower-use group,had more difficulty falling asleep,more difficulty waking up,and experienced more sleep disruptions(擾亂).

Bader said that among young people,a relatively recent technological invention like the cell phone has quickly become existed nearly everywhere,giving rise to considerable pressure to keep in touch. And this pressure can develop into an addiction,with serious negative results for teenager health.

"We see more and more people--especially the young generation-- who grew up with these kinds of items and gadgets in their hands," Bader said. "And they become dependent on the technology. So,we have to teach young people to be structured. To know when to have the cell phone on,and when to switch it off. To avoid becoming the slave of technology,instead of the master. "

Dr. Mary Carskadon expressed little surprise with the finding. " Interpersonal(人際的)contact is one of the things that's best at keeping us awake," she observed. "And so,a young person receiving cell phone texts or phone calls is going to have more deep disturbances. And they are going to be tired and restless,and probably,as a result,going to use more stimulants(興奮劑).And judgment is not always the best in our teenage years. So, that's where I think parental attention to this issue may be useful. "

72. Teens who become addicted to their cell phones will become    .

A. too anxious to relax.               B. unable to stay still.

C. unable to have real rest.             D. excited to forget sleep.

73. What we can learn from the sixth paragraph is that    .

A. more teens know how to make technology serve them

B. teens used to be taught how to use technology

C. we should make use of technology rather than be in the control of it

D. the young generation depends less on the technology to grow up

74. According to Dr. Mary Carskadon,how to deal with the problem?

A. Teenagers should judge how to use their phones.

B. Teenagers should reduce their interpersonal contact.

C. Teenagers should switch their phones off.

D. Parents should give more attention to children's use of phones.

75.What's the passage mainly about?

A. Too much phone time has a bad effect on teens' sleep.

B. Too many cell phone calls have cost teens too much.

C. Few cell phone calls will damage teens' friendships.

D. Too little cell phone time improves teens' attention at class.

閱讀下面短文,并根據要求完成文章后的題目。

Working means money, of course teens want jobs

Out of all the teens I interviewed all either wanted a job or already had one. Nowadays, jobs are needed more than ever. Everything costs money, and we are starting to understand that. Most of us get jobs just for "pocket change", so that we can just go out and get that outfit that we've always wanted, for a burger at McDonald's, for our hair, CDs, tapes, shoes, jewelry, and tons more material items. But some of us get jobs because we need to pay for our books or transportation. Many teens have to pay for their phone bills and lunches.

Choosy describes a lot of teenagers' attitudes towards the kind of job they would and wouldn't get. "Something in an attractive place with nice facilities, well paying, work that's not stressful, and a place where there are people that I know that work there," Mark, 16, said about the kind of job ___________. His personal requirements may seem as if they should be mandatory, but if you really want a job your own requirements should be limited. If you are looking for a job it's important that it fits you in a decent manner.

Teens normally don't take jobs that require a lot of thinking, skill, or physical requirements. Most teens see jobs as something on the side. We don't go around constantly talking about our jobs. We are there simply for that paycheck. Some of us do look at it as a learning experience. Tennille, 16-years-old and who works at a cleaning store, said, "Yes, it's helping me with my customer service skills."

1.Can you give a title for this passage?
