As I walked into the primary school, I looked down at my new Mary Jane shoes - I wanted to be anywhere in the world but Fountain Inn Elementary School.

I stood at Mrs. Blackstone’s door. The door suddenly opened to the sing-song voice of Mrs. Blackstone, my new fifth grade teacher. “We’ve been waiting for you!” she said in an unusually high voice.

Over the next few days, Mrs. Blackstone found me a new best friend and helped me join a choir (合唱团). During history lessons, as I didn’t want to speak in front of the class, she would have me stand up to address my classmates. She made me smile and feel much relaxed in the new environment.

One spring afternoon, Mrs. Blackstone asked me to stay after class. “I’d like to speak with you, Amanda.” My mind raced. Had I made a bad grade? Had I hurt someone’s feelings?

“Are you enjoying your new school?” She said.

“I want to tell you something, between you and me, not to be shared with anyone else.” “Okay.” My throat all of a sudden felt very dry.

With her eyebrows (眉毛) raised, she said, “I see something special in you. The way you communicate with others, the kindness you show - I think you have great potential (潜力) to be someone very important.”

I listened carefully to every word. “I’ve been a teacher for over 25 years. I can see it. But you must believe in yourself. That’s very important. Remember that and you’ll go far.”

Her voice was music to my ears that day. I walked out, but looking straight ahead with my head high. My teacher saw something special in me!

If someone were to ask me what it is like to be a student now, I would probably answer them like this: being a student in today’s society is not always easy.

Adults often tell us that we don’t know what stress is. But we have our own levels of stress. Many students in their high school years start their first job, so now you have school in the mornings, followed by responsibilities at home and work. By the time you are done there, you are too tired to finish your school work, but you stay up late to finish and return to school feeling sleepy the next day. What good is that?

Let’s not forget about peer (同龄人) pressure. All high school students meet with it at some point in their lives. High school can be a place where students are made fun of, singled out and pointed at.

My point is: it is a whole lot more stressful to be a student in high school than adults believe. Our stress may not include paying bills, but I’m sure if the adults in our lives could go back to school today, they would be surprised at how much it has changed.

I admit that there aren’t good moments and memories while we are students. My mum always tells me to enjoy it while I can. I know that the world outside of school is often hard and that the responsibilities are serious. That’s exactly why I know that the focus I give to my future is important in leading me to a career that will allow me to contribute (贡献) to society.

12. What is the author’s attitude to high school students’ working part-time?

A. He is against it. B. He feels proud of it.

C. He considers it worth a try. D. He thinks it does them good.

13. What does the author think of today’s adults?

A. They are proud of high school students.

B. They expect too much of high school students.

C. They are more stressed than high school students.

D. They don’t fully understand high school students.

14. What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?

A. Stress. B. Schoolwork. C. Part-time job. D. School life.

15. What is the text mainly about?

A. The roles of the youth in today’s society.

B. The stressful life of high school students.

C. The way to deal with stress of school life.

D. The differences between parents and high school students.
