二、阅读单选

There is no one like you in the world. So you should learn to be happy with yourself.

As we all know, nobody is perfect(完美). So if you are not the most beautiful or the smartest person, that’s OK. If you do feel there is room for improving, then try your best to make some changes. If you have tried your best but still aren’t content, ask yourself two simple questions. Firstly, are you happy with who you are? If the answer is yes, then there is nothing to worry about. If you are OK with yourself and you have done your best in everything, you should be content. Secondly, do you give yourself enough time to improve? You know improving takes time.

Self-confidence(自信) is also very important. If you’re confident, you will be OK with the way you are. However, here is some advice if you are not confident. First, find out your talents(才能) and try to use them. Second, don’t always compare(比较) yourself with others. Third, forgive (原谅) yourself for some mistakes you may have made.

三、阅读判断

Who Influences (影响) Teenagers?

“Teenager” means people from 13 to 19 years old. Although they’re young, they have to make many important choices by themselves. They need to think about questions like these: Should I go to college? What kind of jobs do I want? However, other people also influence their choices. Who influences teenagers? Teenagers were asked this question and here’s what they said.

It depends on the kind of choice. When teenagers buy things, friends are the most important influence. This is especially true for clothes and music. TV shows, advertisements and parents also influence teenagers. In more serious things, parents are probably the most important influence. Some teenagers say it’s best to regard (看待) both parents and friends as influences. James, a seventeen-year-old boy says he’s “just a crazy man”. He also says, “Parents are really important because they can tell you what’s right and wrong.”

But teenagers also feel they need to make choices— to make their own choices. As one teenager girl said, “If our parents don’t let us make our own choices, maybe in the future we won’t know how to do it.” And they feel friends can often be a big help especially because friends sometimes know more about their situation than their parents do.

Do you depend on parents or others when you decide what to do and how to do it? Whoever (无论是谁) you depend on, the correct choice is the most important. Your future is in your hand.
