AAAGH! The Generation 90s is coming! Wearing earphones, using complex Net language and constantly text messaging friends, the Gen-90s following the Gen-80s begin to make their world debut (初次登台). Each generation or age group has its own symbols and lifestyle. Read on and judge for yourselves if you fit the Gen-90s group.

Earphones---These little devices seem to grow on the heads of the Gen-90s. They might lead to MP3, MP4 or MP101 players, giving these young people a plugged-in, cool and perhaps self-addicted look, of course, life is not always music to the ears.

Martian language---They have created their own code-like online language. It's a mixture of English, Japanese and Chinese that perhaps only Martians can understand. This is an imaginative generation, though they need to be careful to keep it out of their term papers.

Self-Portrait--- Saying \"cheese\" to their own digital cameras is usual for this generation. A little bit of narcissism (自恋) never hurts anyone. It helps them reflect a little on their own lives．But be aware of the risks of posting private photos online.

Text-messaging ---They can type their mobile phones as fast as they can speak. This is a generation that respects efficiency. However, oral communication is important and will never go out of style.

（1）According to the passage, if you belong to the Gen-90s , you will _______ . A . just appreciate yourself and ignore others' strengths B . have your own symbols and lifestyle

C . have the same symbols and lifestyle of the Gen-80s D . like music and dance very much

（2）The writer will choose ______ as a good example to the Gen-90. A . Li Hua who likes music and always wears hats

B . Zhang Chao who is not only an imaginative boy but do everything efficiently C . Lily who is a shy girl and she doesn't like making friends

D . Fangfang who likes being taken photos and often posting them online （3）According to this passage, which is FALSE? A . Not all teens are cautious about posting photos.

B . They type their mobile phones so fast that it can catch the speed of speaking.

C . The Gen-90s have a preference for some music players, and even regard them as a necessary part of life.

D . They don't use the cool and complex online language in formal writing. （4）The main idea of the passage is about________. A . the Gen-90s' happy life

Once, some fish lived in a pond. One evening, some fishermen passed by the pond and saw the fish. \"This pond is full of fish!\" They told each other excitedly. \"We must come back tomorrow morning and catch them!\" they said.

When the oldest fish heard this, he was troubled. He called the other fish together and said,\" Did you hear what the fishermen said? We must leave this pond at once. The fishermen will return tomorrow and kill us all!\" The second oldest fish agreed. But the youngest fish laughed. He said,\" We have lived in this pond all our lives, and no fisherman has ever come here. Why should these men return? I am not going anywhere-my luck will keep me safe.\"

Something caught my eyes when I was walking down the street. Two silver coins were shining in a melting snow bank, so I dug through the snow looking for more. Of course, I just ended up with really cold hands. I slipped the two coins into my pocket and went home, colder but richer. I began to think about how to spend the money.

Two days later, Mary and her little sister were searching the snow banks. \"Finders are keepers\" was my first thought. I didn't want to hand them out even though Susy was already crying.\" I dropped them right here,\" she said between tears. Her hands were cold and red for digging in the snow. \"Maybe they slid down the street with the melting snow. Let's dig over here. \"Mary's voice sounded confident. \"They'll never know\" was my second thought, and I walked past them. \"Phil, have you seen two silver coins?\" asked Mary. Susy looked up from digging. Her eyes were hopeful.

\"Tell a lie\" was my third thought. As a matter of fact, I hesitated,\" I dug two coins out of that snow bank just a few days ago. I wondered who might have lost them.\" Susy hugged me with a big smile, \"Oh, thank you, thank you.\"

Even in early time, people could realize the importance of dreams and knew that dreams gave meaning to life. Every great achievement has been the result of years of dreaming. If a person has a dream and holds fat to it, he or she will find a way to bring it into reality(现实).

Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are the good examples. They have developed technology and brought great progress to human besides making money for themselves Older people should believe that it is never too late to dream and that human mind is never too old to make dreams tum into reality. Colonel Saunders realized his dreams at the age of 67 and set up the biggest fried chicken company (KFC) in the world. To dream is a wonderful ability which can lead to wonderful results. Olympic records were broken by players who were brave enough to dream. No one is too young or too old to dream and to make dreams come true.

When I was in Grade 8, my teacher asked us to write an article about what we would like to do when we grew up. All I could think of was one sentence: I want to help other people! Over the years, I met many difficulties and failures. But I never thought of giving up. I realized that to help other people, I had to help myself first. I encouraged myself after I experienced failures, and I cheered for myself when I did well.

Finally, my dream really came true. I found a part-time job in a charity. I began to spend my days doing things for people in need. I have a happy life. That doesn't mean that this kind of life is easy, or that my work is always enjoyable. I am happy because I am doing what I want to do.

What do you want to do? Write it down now. If you don't know, you can ask yourself, \"What would I do if this was the last day of my life?\" Then write down the first thing that comes to your mind, no matter how silly or how impossible it seems. Once you have an answer, you will know what your dream is.

（1）Which article did the writer's teacher probably ask them to write? A . My favourite sport. B . My article. C . My hobby. D . My dream.
