The following is a recent survey among teenagers:

Radio

Most teenagers nowadays are not regular listeners to radio. They may occasionally tune in, but they do not try to listen to a program specifically. The main reason teenagers listen to the radio is for music, but now with online sites streaming music for free they do not bother, and users can choose the songs they want instead of listening to what the radio presenter/DJ chooses.

Television

Most teenagers watch television, but usually there are points in the year where they watch more than average. This is due to programs coming on in seasons, so they will watch a particular show at a certain time (as long as it lasts) but then they may watch no television for weeks.

Teenagers are also watching less television because of services such as BBC iPlayer, which allows them to watch shows when they want. Whilst watching TV, adverts come on quite regularly (18 minutes of every hour) and teenagers do not want to watch these, so they switch to another channel, or do something else whilst the adverts run.

Newspapers

No teenager that I know of regularly reads a newspaper, as most do not have the time and cannot be bothered to read pages and pages of text while they could watch the news summarized on the Internet or on TV.

Internet

Every teenager has some access to the Internet, be it at school or home. Home use is mainly used for fun (such as social networking) whilst school (or library) use is for work. Most teenagers are heavily active on a combination of social networking sites. Facebook is the most common, with nearly everyone with an Internet connection registered and visiting >4 times a week. Facebook is popular as one can interact with friends on a wide scale.

For searching the web, Google is the dominant figure, simply because it is well known and easy to use. Some teenagers make purchases on the Internet (on sites like eBay) but this is only used by a small percentage, as a credit card is required and most teenagers do not have credit cards. Many teenagers use YouTube to watch videos (usually anime which cannot be watched anywhere else) and some use it as a music player by having a video with the music they want to listen to playing in the background.

Mobile Phones

99pc of teenagers have a mobile phone and most are quite capable phones. Usually, teenagers only use their phones for texting, calling. Features such as video messaging or video calling are not used—because they are expensive.

Services such as instant messaging are used, but not by everyone. It usually depends whether the phone is Wi-Fi compatible, because otherwise it is very expensive to get Internet off the phone network. As most teenagers’ phones have Bluetooth support, and Bluetooth is free, they utilize this feature often.

Mobile email is not used as teenagers have no need; they do not need to be connected to their inbox all the time as they don’t receive important emails.

   The survey carried out recently is mainly concerned with ______.

A. how teenagers consume media

B. what electric devices teenagers favor

C. which new trend teenagers are following

D. how teenagers contact others and make their social net

   As is mentioned in the survey, the reason why teenagers watch less TV mainly lies in that ______.

A. teenagers do not watch regular programs

B. all the TV programs are on for only a few weeks

C. teenagers may turn to other devices to watch their favorite

D. the TV adverts coming on every channel are just the same

   Which of the following is TRUE according to the survey?

A. Radio presenter or DJ used to invite the listeners to choose the songs they want.

B. The main source for teenagers to get news is Internet as well as newspapers.

C. Google is the most common social networking sites due to its convenience.

D. Some features of modern mobile phones are not widely used by teenagers.

Free to fly with the wind

One windy spring day, I observed young people having fun by flying their kites in the wind. Colorful creations of varying shapes and sizes filled the blue and clean skies like beautiful birds dancing. As the strong winds blew against the kites, a  16   kept them in control.

Instead of blowing away with the wind, they went up against it to achieve great  17  . They shook and pulled, but the control string and the long tail kept them under  18  , facing upward and against the wind. As the kites struggled and trem??bled against the string, they seemed to be saying,  " Let me go t Let me go! I want to be  19  !" They flew beautifully even as they fought the control of the string. Fi??nally, one of the kites  20   in breaking loose. "Free at last," it seemed to be saying, "Free to fly with the wind.”

Yet freedom from control simply put it at the   21  of an unsympathetic wind. It dropped ungracefully to the ground and landed in a wild mass of weeds. “Free at last”--- free to  22  powerlessly in the dirt, and to be blown  23  along the ground……

How we are like kites sometimes! The Heaven gives us adversities(逆境), limits and rules to ????????_ 24  from which we can grow and gain strength. Control is a necessary opponent(對手) to the winds of opposition. We can never go up high enough to achieve our goals sometimes if we lose our necessary  25  or the rules.
