26、s today? Remember that song from Bye Bye Birdie? Well if you do not, let me fill you in about teenagers and their life-management skills. Do not expect too much too soon because at the ripe age of 17, life-management is not within their reach, not should it be. Life experience creates both the condi

A 17-year-old girl and her motherBThe dirty, homeless man sat on the pavement, staring at the stones. He thought back more than twenty years to when
33、he was a boy living in a small red brick house on this very street. He recalled the flower garden, the swing his dad made, and the bike he had saved up for months to buy.The man shrugged impatiently, for the brightness of those pictures hurt him, and his memory travelled on another ten years. He had
34、 a job by then, plenty of friends and started to come home less. He did not really want to remember those years, nor the day when, because of debts, he had gone home planning to ask for money. He felt embarrassed, but he knew exactly where his dad kept the money. When his parents stepped out of the
35、room, he took what he wanted and left.That was the last time he had seen them. Ashamed, he went abroad, and his parents knew nothing about the years of wandering or time in prison. But locked in his cell he often thought of home. Once free, he would love to see his parents again, if they were still
36、alive, and still wanted to see him.When his prison time was up, he found a job, but couldnt settle. Something was drawing him home. He did not want to arrive penniless, so he hitchhiked most of the long journey back. But less than a mile from his destination he started to feel sick with doubt. Could

Eventually, they start to lose track of who they really are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the peopl
45、e they were before everyone knew their names. “Over time,” Villarreal says, “they feel separated and alone.”The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages. In the 4th century B.C., painters followed Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. W
46、hen Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain about his lack of privacy. Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.Being a public figure
47、 today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be. Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras. When they say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive foreve
48、r.If fame is so troublesome, why arent all celebrities running away from it? The answer is there are still ways to deal with it. Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. They focus not on how famous they are
49、but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place.Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice.

55、illustrate（说明） the importance of good sleep habitECritical thinking is an important skill that can increase students ability to learn in any situation. This can be applied to traditional education, or directly in a career related role. Many teachers find it such a valuable skill that they give their
56、 students a critical thinking question every day. Developing this ability can mean the difference between “just passing a course” and “understanding the material well enough” so that what students learn from it will follow them throughout their life.Some characteristics of a critical thinker that te
57、achers should encourage are;-asking questions as a reaction to something read or discussed;-determining the “deeper meaning” of a particular passage or topic;-providing input and opinions to topics as a direct result of analysis and research; -reasoning in an effort to develop an argument of your ow
58、n opinion.It is important for a student to understand more than definition（定义）. One way to truly understand an idea is to have hands-on practice, and to apply concepts learned in a textbook. Such “mini-examples” will interest a student and improve their understanding of a topic. This is how life-lon
59、g skills can be developed.Teachers that use critical thinking practices in the classroom can “go above and beyond” by asking questions that promote a greater comprehension of the material. Instructors should be able to challenge students and create an environment where they are analyzing material an
60、d gaining a better understanding. This will make the classroom move in a direction for learning. It can also help students to stay interested in the course material, as they always have a new concept to consider.At the same time, students benefit greatly from developing critical thinking skills. Whe
61、n learned early on, these skills can be used throughout their college education. Students can understand how to consider a topic, analyze it, and discuss it from different points of view. These are skills that will benefit them when they are part of the workforce as well.72. Who are the intended rea

80、lopment of my dream would move smoothly and soon, I would be one of the best known faces on cinema screen throughout the world. I was confident in my first performance in 1986.

81、hat my plans for quick success had been ruined. Over the years I tried out for other roles, but I never got a good part. Sometimes I thought of giving up. Five years later, I found myself working in the offices of a movie company. And eventually I ended up as a manager of this company after years of hard work. You know, it isnt easy doing this job. There are a lot of things you need to consider, always be ready to take responsibility if things go wrong. And you need to deal with actors who think they are the master of the world boy, you cant imagine what a pain that is!
