You could fill a store with all the energy drinks available. They promise to make people feel more energetic and think more clearly. These products have names like Red Bull, Monster, Ripped Force, Speed Stack and 5-How Energy. They appeal mainly

to young people.

Professor Chad Reissig, at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimor, is a medical researcher who studies drug dependence. He says the team he works on got interested in studying energy drinks.

He says the researchers have found three things. One : there are hundreds of brands of energy

Drinks in most major countries. Two : the drinks are not clearly labeled（標(biāo)簽標(biāo)明）with enough

Information. And three: the amount of caffeine（咖啡因）differs greatly. Some contain as little as fifty milligrams, others as much as five hundred.

Some people combine energy drinks with alcohol. They think they can drink more alcohol that way and not be affected. Studies, however, suggest that they are still under the influence of the alcohol even if they do not feel that way.

Some makers of energy drinks do provide warnings. For example a popular energy warns against use by people who are under the age of twelve. The directions also advise people to limit caffeine products and to drink only half the bottle.

    The team at Johns Hopkins University published a report in the journal Drug and Alcohol Dependence. They suggested that better labeling with the amount of caffeine and other ingredients （成分）be clearly listed on the drink. The researchers are continuing to study energy drinks. They are seeking young people who have had a bad experience after drinking them.

1．According to the passage, the energy drinks mainly attract        .

       A．young people                                       B．a(chǎn)lcohol drinkers

       C．university professors                            D．twelve-year-old children

2．The team thinks that the biggest problem of the energy drinks is that          .

       A．there are too many brands                    B．they are not clearly labeled

       C．there is too much caffeine                    D．they are not available in some stores

3．The purpose of the passage is to tell readers        .

       A．to identify caffeine in energy drinks

       B．to take a closer look at energy drinks

       C．whether energy drinks are good or bad

       D．whether energy drinks make people addicted

There are many places around the city and online to buy Las Vegas show tickets. With dozens of websites you can find at home, ticket box offices, Tix 4 Tonight (one of the two half-price ticket sellers) locations, and ticket sellers along the Las Vegas trip, you might wonder where you could find your best deal.
Major Shows
If you want to see one of the top shows in Las Vegas, you could buy your tickets online before your trip. Many of these shows sell out months ahead of time, so make sure you do your research.
Best Place to Buy Discounted (打折的) Tickets
If you want discounted tickets for Las Vegas shows, you should go to one of the four Tix 4 Tonight locations. These locations get tickets early in the morning or throughout the day if shows are not sold out. Do not expect to find discounted tickets here for the hottest shows in town such as one-night concerts or shows like Celine Dion’s. These seldom make their way to Tix 4 Tonight.
Coupon books (代金劵)
As you walk along the Las Vegas Strip, you are going to come across people handing out the Vegas Values coupon books or other coupons. These may help you find discounted coupons for various shows around town. Tickets bought with coupons have to be bought at the box office for the show. These are usually located near the theater used for the show.
On-Strip Sellers
If you see people standing on the Strip selling show tickets, make sure you avoid them. While a few of these sellers might be legitimate (合法的)，they often cheat people by selling counterfeit (偽造的) tickets.
Catching a show in Las Vegas is one of the various activities people take part in every single day. While there is not one set place to be the best to buy tickets, make sure you get to see the show you want.
【小題1】If you want to see Celine Dion’s performance, you should buy the tickets __ _____.

A．from the tickets sellers along the Strip
B．through online shopping
C．a(chǎn)t the Tix 4 Tonight locations
D．on the day of the performance

閱讀下面的短文，然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。
We spend hours, days and years of our lives in education. But how perfect do you think your school is? Imagine you could decide your ideal school. What would it be like? What would you be doing? We wanted to find out what teenagers around the world thought. Here is what they said.
Sonia from Italy: I’d like a room where we can go and relax and play computer games and chat with friends. Some older pupils in the school have this but I think there should be a place for everyone to go when they want to switch off from the lessons.
Richard form USA: I think it would be great to have a day off every week, as well as the weekend. If that day was a Friday or a Monday, we would have a long weekend every week. I’m sure we could learn just as much in fewer hours.
David from UK: The school dinners are absolutely disgusting. There is a little shop called a “tuck shop” which we can go to in our breaks but it just sells rubbish. I’d like to be able to buy fruit and healthy snacks.
Hannah from Australia: My school environment is great – especially the sports facilities. We’ve got a swimming pool and tennis court. It’s teachers I’d change. I think they should give us more freedom and choice about how we study and what we study. I also think it’s ridiculous that we have to wear a school uniform.
Sam form Mexico: I’d like clean toilets and showers, a big library, big lockers and a restaurant. Not much to ask for.

Of all the websites, one that has attracted attention recently is myspace.com. Most of this attention has come from the media and tells every reason why the website should be shut down. The danger of internet predators(竊掠者) is indeed a tough reality, but shutting down the site is not the answer. If myspace.com were shut down, another site would quickly take its place. Therefore, the right way is to teach teens how to use the site safely and educate them about who may be predators and how to avoid them.

     The key to staying safe on the Internet is to make sure that your profile(個(gè)人資料) is secure. The simplest way is to change the privacy setting on your profile to “private”, which protects your information so that only the people on your friend list can view it. Although this is effective, it is not perfect. Predators can find ways to view your profile if they really want to, whether through hacking(非法侵入) in or figuring out their way onto your friend list. Thus, you should never post too much personal information. Some people actually post their home and school addresses, date of birth, and other personal information, often letting predators know exactly where they will be and when. The safest information is your first name and province. Anything more is basically inviting a predator into your life.

     Another big problem is photos. I suggest completely skipping photos and never posting a photo of a friend online without asking permission.

     Most importantly, never, under any circumstances, agree to a real-life meeting with anyone you meet online. No matter how well you think you know this person, there are no guarantees that they have told the truth. But you could feel free to chat with people you meet on the site, but just remember that not everyone is who they say they are. Hopefully, the next time you edit your profile, you’ll be more informed about the dangers of Internet predators and take the steps to defend yourself.

Lastly, do not send money to anyone you meet online. A common scam among Internet criminals is to request to pay for “expensive Internet charges” or “unreasonable Internet cafe fees”. While it is indeed true that many countries in Eastern Europe, Asia, Africa and South America do not yet have Internet service readily available in all cities and towns, a sincere friend from one of these countries will be more than happy to pay their own Internet charges. Never, under any circumstances, should you send money to a stranger from another country(or within your own country for that matter) who claims monetary assistance is required to continue their contact with you.

1.Kids can avoid web predators successfully by________.

A. attracting more public attention

B. shutting down the “myspace.com”

C. learning different ways to try other sites

D. recognizing and getting away from them

2.We can learn from the text that________.

A. everybody you meet online isn’t honest and reliable

B. it is not acceptable to post a photo of a friend online

C. it is not safe to chat with grown-ups on the website

D. only you and your friends can view your personal profile

3.What does the underlined word “scam” in the last paragraph mean?

A. A thing that you can have two choices. 

B. An unpleasant task that tests one’s ability.

C. A possibility of something happening.

D. An illegal plan for making money.

4.What could be the best title of this passage?

 A. Personal Safety.                               B. Web Safety for Teens.

 C. Web Hackers in the past.               D. Predators’ Tricks.
