(一) A Trip to the Forest

One day Bob took two of his friends into the mountains. They put up their tents and then rode off to a forest to see how the trees were growing.

Bob had an idea. The horses! Let the horses take them back! But what would happen if the horses took the road to his house? That would be a trip of thirty-five kilometers in such cold weather!

Have you ever had problems in your life and don’t know how to be happy? If so , you will find “Being a Happy Teenager” by Australian writer Andrew Matthews useful .

In his book, Matthews tells us how to have a happy life and answers the questions of teenagers.

The book says we should stop being angry. The book tells us of useful skills.For example,if you want to make your memory better,you can put what ypi will have learned into pictures of your mind. Many teenagers

think that happiness comes from a good exam result or praise from other people. But you can still be happy when there are no such “good” things.

Success comes from a good attitude. If you learn from problems, you have success in the future. Some school boys have problems such as being too tall or too short, but Matthews tells us happiness comes from thinking about things in a positive way.

If you are tall , you can get a better view(视线) at the movie. If you are short, your clothes and shoes take less room in your bedroom! This is Matthews’ most important lesson : you choose to be happy! 1.Andrew Matthews is a ________ .

An important question about eating out is who pays for the meal. If a friend of yours asks you to have lunch with him. You may say something like this, “I’m afraid I’ll go to eat something that is not expensive, as I have very little money.” The other person may say, “OK, I’ll meet you at McDonald’s.” This means that two agree to go Dutch, that is, each person pays for himself.

He may also say, “Oh, no. I want to take you to lunch at Johnson’s”, or “I want you to try the steak(牛排) there. It’s great.” This means the person wants to pay for both of you. If you feel friendly towards this person, you can go with him and you needn’t pay for the meal. You may just say, “Thank you. That would be very nice.”

American customs about who pays for dates(约会) are much the same as in other parts of the world. In the old days, American women wanted men to pay for all the meals. But, today, a university girl or a woman in the business world will usually pay her own way during the day. If a man asks her to dinner or a dance outside the working hours, it means “come as my guest”. 1.根据短文内容完成句子
