Summer Camps for Teenagers
There are many types of summer camps for teenagers to attend. They’re
a great way for teens to make friends and learn valuable lessons about life. If
you’re seeking a good summer camp to attend, the first thing you should
do is decide what type of camp would be most suitable to your interests and
goals.
Traditional Camps
When you just want the sort of camp in classic films, a traditional
overnight camp might be just what you need to grow, learn, and relax
this coming summer. These sorts of camps offer more vigorous outdoor
activities, yet often allow campers to customize their camping experiences.
Chunky Camp
As one of the best summer camps in the country by Boston magazine,
this camp aims to help teens learn about natural history and ecology, and
the campers get treats like sailing trips and hiking excursions, besides
formal instruction in such things as kayaking, swimming, field sports,
and photography.
Camp Wicosuta
As a top-rated, traditional four-week sleep away camp especially for
young ladies, Camp Wicosuta has more than 30 different activities to help
teens learn to cook and wash themselves, which aim to help young girls
focus on building their self-confidence.

A fellow speaker from California named Geri, in her favorite jeans and a
casual jacket, flew to Japan to give her first speech. Fourteen hours later,
four perfectly dressed Japanese gentlemen greeted her at Narita Airport.
Smiling and bowing low, they handed her their business cards. With her
bag in one hand, Geri took their cards with the other. She thanked them,
glanced briefly at the cards, and put them into her jeans pocket quickly.
When the five of them arrived at the hotel, they invited Geri to tea in the
lobby. While sipping tea, the gentlemen presented her with a small gift
which she eagerly opened. She was thrilled with the gift and shouted
excitedly, “Oh, it’s beautiful.”
At this point, the four Japanese gentlemen stood up and, bowing only
very slightly, said “Sayonara” and left immediately. Poor Geri was left
astonished. What did she do wrong?
Everything! Her jeans were the first gaffe. Even if you’re coming off a
bicycle in Japan, you do not meet clients casually dressed. The second
mistake was Geris handling of their business cards rudely. In Japan, the
business card is one of the most important communicative tools. It is always
presented and accepted respectfully with both hands. However, Geri put
their cards away much too quickly. In Japan, people use business cards as
a conversation starter. You chat about each other’s cards and work and do
not put theirs away until they gently and respectfully place yours in
safekeeping. Putting it carelessly into her jeans pocket was the ultimate
disrespect.
Then, the fourth mistake of horrors was that Geri should not have
opened the gift in front of her clients. In a land where saving face is critical,
it would be embarrassing to discover the gift they gave was not as nice asthe one they received. What was worse, Geri hadn’t even given them a
gift!
4. The Japanese gentlemen thought Geri took their cards ___ .
A. excitedly
B. seriously
C. politely
D. disrespectfully
5. Why did the four Japanese gentlemen leave Geri suddenly?
A. They couldn’t bear Geris behavior any longer.
B. They had finished their task.
C. They had something more important to do.
D. They didn’t want to embarrass Geri.
6. What does the underlined word “gaffe” in Paragraph 4 probably
mean?
A. Ignorance. B. Sadness.
C. Mistake. D. Carelessness.
7. Which of the following sayings can best express the main idea of the
passage?
A. Honesty is the best policy.
B. Think twice before you take any action.
C. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
D. Don’t pretend to know what you don’t know.
Cosmetic surgery (整容手术) is not something to be entered into
lightly. Unfortunately, in this modern world, we have become confused by
very narrow standards of beauty. Images of celebrities who never seem to
age are seen everywhere these days. We forget the fact that most of these
images are the result of photo manipulation (处理), driven by the
incredibly powerful beauty industry. We are all different—why should we all
look the same? Isn’t there more to life than undergoing surgery in order to
have the same boring face that everybody else wants to have?
—Dry Elisabeth McKenna, Psychologist
Yes, its fake! That’s what I told my friends when they started asking
me about my nose job. I’d always been sensitive to my nose, but it took me
a long time before I decided to go for cosmetic surgery. I took advice from
several doctors and after careful consultation I finally decided to have it done.In fact I wish I’d had it done a few years ago. I’m sure I wouldn’t have been
teased so much at school.
—Debbie Caron, Student
It makes me really angry to think of the millions of people who spend a
fortune on cosmetic surgery. Surgery should be carried out for medical
purposes, not vanity (虚荣心). I would rather all the money spent on
cosmetic surgery was available to treat people around the world who are in
need but can’t get proper medical treatment. Furthermore, there are
thousands of under-qualified surgeons out there who only care about getting
rich as quickly as possible. We should do something to ban it.
—Danny Glass, Student
8. What does Dry Elisabeth McKenna tell us?
A. Don’t be fooled by “perfection”.
B. Don’t believe in beauty industry.
C. The beauty industry needs improving.
D. It’s unnecessary to set new standards of beauty.
9. What did Debbie Caroms cosmetic surgery bring to her?
A. More friends. B. More worries.
C. More self-confidence. D. More job opportunities.
10. How does Danny Glass feel about those who have cosmetic
surgery?
A. They should be treated as patients.
B. They hurt themselves badly.
C. They can have a new start.
D. They waste money and medical resources.
11. What could be the best title for the text?
A. Hard Talk—Cosmetic Surgery
B. The Future of Cosmetic Surgery
C. The Mystery of Cosmetic Surgery
D. A New Fashion—Cosmetic Surgery
In ancient Egypt, a shopkeeper discovered that he could attract
customers to his shop simply by making changes to its environment. Modern
businesses have been following his lead, with more tactics (策略).
One tactic involves where to display the goods. For example, stores
place fruits and vegetables in the first section. They know that customerswho buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy more junk
food later in their trip. In department stores, the women’s shoe section is
generally next to the women’s cosmetics (化妆品) section: while the
shop assistant is going back to find the right size shoe, bored customers
are likely to wander over and find some cosmetics they might want to try
later.
Besides, businesses seek to appeal to customers senses. Stores notice
that the smell of baked goods encourages shopping, so they make their
own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the store
throughout the day. Music sells goods, too. Researchers in Britain found
that when French music was played, sales of French wines went up.
When it comes to the selling of houses, businesses also use highly
rewarding tactics. They find that customers make decisions in the first few
seconds upon walking in the door, and turn it into a business opportunity. A
California builder designed the structure of its houses smartly. When entering
the house, the customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the
windows, and then the pool through an open stairway leading to the lower
level. The instant view of water on both levels helped sell these $10 million
houses.
12. Why do stores usually display fruits and vegetables in the first
section?
A. To show they are high quality foods.
B. To sell them at discount prices.
C. To save customers time.
D. To help sell junk food.
13. According to Paragraph 3, which of the following encourages
customers to buy?
A. Inviting customers to play music.
B. Opening the store early in the morning.
C. Displaying British wines next to French ones.
D. Filling the store with the smell of fresh bread.
14. What does the California builders story imply?
A. The house structure is a key factor customers consider.
B. The more costly the house is, the better it sells.
C. An ocean view is much to the customers taste.
D. A good first impression increases sales.15. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To explain how businesses turn people into their customers.
B. To introduce how businesses have grown from the past.
C. To report researches on customer behavior.
D. To uncover some dishonest business practices.

Dear Amy,
At your request, I’m writing to share the changes in my hometown in the
last few years with you.
Firstly, several highways have been built, so we can travel to other
places more easily and faster. Secondly, some new parks have been
opened for the convenience of citizens to relax in their spare time. Besides,
numerous plants have been planted everywhere, making our environment
greener and more beautiful. All in all, we are living a more comfortable and
enjoyable life than ever before.
Great changes have taken place in my hometown. I hope you can visit
