Many teenagers feel that the most important people in their lives are their friends. They believe that their family members, especially their parents, don’t know them as well as their friends do. In large families, it is often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they can only go to their friends for advice. It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or many friends. Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking among themselves on the phone. This communication is very important in children’s growing up, because friends can discuss something difficult to say to their family members.
However, parents often try to choose their children’s friends for them. Some parents may even stop their children from meeting their good friends. The question of “choice” is an interesting one.

Thanksgiving is an important festival in North America. We interviewed several students from the US and Canada. Here is what they have told us about their Thanksgiving experiences.
Josie from New York, USA
“In America, Thanksgiving is celebrated every year at the end of November. It is to remember the first group of people from Europe to live in America. When they first arrived, they found the environment strange. But they learned to survive after some native American friends showed them how to grow and find food. Thanksgiving is meant to be a traditional celebration.”
Todd from California, USA
“Thanksgiving is the first day of Christmas shopping. That means we have four weeks to buy Christmas presents for our families and friends. For me and my friends, the most important part of the festival is the big football game on TV. The match is watched by millions of people all over America. Thanksgiving is seen as an exciting day for football!”
Ian from Saskatoon, Canada
In Canada, Thanksgiving is held on the 2nd Monday in October. On the Sunday before Thanksgiving Day, many people go to church. Thanks is given for all the good things that happened to them during the year. I always give thanks for the nice big turkey I’m going to have at the family dinner! Like all festivals, Thanksgiving is about food!
Katie from Maritimes, Canada
On Thanksgiving Day, we have dinner with all our cousins, aunts and uncles. It is always very busy. Sometimes we have two Thanksgiving dinners because we go to both our grandparents’ houses. The dinner is usually attended by more than twenty people at each house! My mother and my aunts do all the cooking but the washing-up is done by me and my cousins. And that’s not an easy job!

A superstar is someone who is usually famous in sports, or films, or popular music, someone like the singer Michael Jackson. In the nineteen eighties, Michael Jackson made a record album called “Thriller”. It quickly became the most popular recording in the history of music and it made Michael Jackson a superstar.
The word “super” means more than usual or very wonderful. And of course, a star is a person who is very famous. So people who are famous and skilful in sports, films or music are called superstars, such as Li Ning.
One of the most famous sports superstars in the United States is the boxer Muhammad Ali. After he won a gold medal in the Olympics and became the heavyweight boxing champion, he was known as one of the greatest and most famous boxers in the sports history. At that time Muhammad Ali was even better known than the president of the United States. He was a true superstar, nearly everyone knew his name.
But like the stars in the sky, a superstar may fad away (消失) as the years go by. These days people know little about Muhammad Ali.
Superstars, loved by millions of people today, may be forgotten tomorrow.

William Shakespeare, the great English writer of drama(戏剧),was born in 1564 in Sratford-on-Avon. We do not know everything about Shakespeare’s early life. But we know that he studied at the Grammar School in Stratford, and that he became interested in the theatre when he was still a boy. In 1586, Shakespeare went to London, where he worked in a theatre for some years before he began to write his own plays. By the end of the 16th century, Shakespeare and his friends had enough money to build their own theatre. But we must think that Shakespeare had no difficulties in his life.

Sometimes a book can change history. One book that certainly did was Uncle Tom’s Cabin, written by Harriet Beecher Stowe. It was a book that spoke out against slavery.
At the time Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote her book, here were over 3.5 million slaves in the United States. Slaves were usually in the cotton-growing states of the South. The Northern States had ended slavery. They did not mind that slavery continued in the South.
Stowe decided to make people understand that slavery was very bad. Each night after putting her six children to bed she worked on her book. She told the story of an old slave, Tom and Simon Legree, a slave owner. She also told how the slaves tried to run away for freedom. Uncle Tom’s Cabin first came out in 1852. Over 300 000 books were sold out in a year.
People had different ideas about the book. In the North, many people finally believed that slavery must be ended after they read the book. In the South, many people were very angry at the people in the North. By 1861 the two parts of the country were at war. The Civil War, which lasted until 1865, finally brought an end to slavery.
Of course , there were many things that made the Civil War happen. Yet, Uncle Tom’s Cabin surely played a part. Stowe met President Lincoln in 1862. As Lincoln took her hand, he said, “So you are the little woman who started the big war.”
72.While many Northerners agreed with Harriet Beecher Stowe, _________.
A.many Southerners wanted war B. many Southerners did not read the book
C.many Southerners were angry D.some slaves tried to run away from the North
73.From the text, we can see that ________.
A.Stowe was a young woman.
B.Stowe’s husband was dead when she wrote the story.
C.Stowe wrote her book with stories from her six children.
D.Stowe could not work on her book during the day-time.
74. Uncle Tom’s Cabin was ________.
A. a book about Harriet Beecher Stowe B. a history book
C. a book that helped change history D.a book about the American Civil War
75.Harriet Beecher Stowe _____________.
A.was a little woman who started the American Civil War
