Dear Jamie,
I’m writing to you because I feel like we’ve grown distant lately. I know you have two little babies now that take up most of your attention, but I want to remind you that I’m your dog. My name is Max, and I am here long before those two troublemakers joined our family. The older one, Hannah, keeps trying to ride me. She knows I’m not a horse, right? Let’s remember that I’m 11 now. That’s 77 years old to you, friend. So how about showing me some respect I deserve?
Anyway, I’m still an official part of this family. I know I have made mistakes with food, but those kids are covered with so much food. It’s like an alcoholic living in a wine store. I have tried harder not to eat their food, but this business of forcing me to the backyard for most of the day was unacceptable.
And when you told your wife Kate that you wanted to drop me off in the valley to live with wolves, well, that hurt my self-respect. And did you have to do it right in front of me? I might be old, but I can still hear.
Remember the old days? By the time you came into the picture, I had already known Kate for three years. And then you came along. I knew she liked you so I welcomed you into our world. I remembered one night, she asked me if I thought you were the one. I barked “yes” repeatedly because I thought you would take great care of us. And you did.
Look, I know you’re a father of two now, but please try to include me a little bit more. That’s all I’m asking.
Sincerely yours,
Max the Puggle

There is an old saying that America and Britain are “two nations divided by a common language.” No one knows exactly who said this, but it reflects the way many Brits feel about American English. But are American and British English really so different?
Vocabulary
The most obvious difference between American and British English is vocabulary. There are hundreds of everyday words that are different. For example, Americans go on vacation while Brits go on holidays; New Yorkers live in apartments while Londoners live in flats. There are far more examples than we can talk about here. Fortunately, most Americans and Brits can usually guess the meaning through the context of a sentence.
Past Tense Verbs
You’ll also find some differences with past forms of irregular verbs. The past tense of “learn” in American English is “learned”. British English has the option of “learned” or “learnt”. The same rule applies to “dreamed” and “dreamt”, “burned” and “burnt”, and “leaned” and “leant”. Americans tend to use the -ed ending; Brits tend to use the-t ending.
Spelling
There are hundreds of slight spelling differences between British and American English. Noah Webster, an author, politician and teacher, made an effort to reform English spelling in the late 1700s.
Webster wanted to spell words the way they sounded. You can see Webster’s legacy(遗产) in the American spelling of words like color (from colour), honor (from honour), and labor(from labour).
Not So Different After All
British and American English have far more similarities than differences. With the exception of some regional dialects, most Brits and Americans can understand each other without too much difficulty. They watch each other’s TV shows, sing each other’s songs and read each other’s books. They even make fun of each others’ accents.
【1】Which of the following is a group of American words?
A.Vacation; holiday. B.Apartment; flat.
C.Vacation; apartment. D.Holiday; flat.
【2】The underlined word “option” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by ________.
A.choice B.change
C.structure D.use
【3】What do we know about British and American English from the last paragraph?
A.They both have some strange words.
B.They are affecting people using them.
C.They connect people of the two countries.
D.Their differences have little effect on communication.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A.Ways to tell British English from American English
B.Differences between British and American English
C.Development of British and American English
D.Difficulty for Brits and Americans to understand each other

MacDonald’s will soon remove cheeseburgers and chocolate milk from its Happy Meal menu to set a good example in offering a healthy diet for kids at its restaurants.
Customers can still ask for cheeseburgers or chocolate milk with kids’ meal, but MacDonald’s said that not listing them would make them less likely to be ordered. Since it removed soda from the menu four years ago, orders for it with the Happy Meal have fallen by 14%.
As MacDonald’s is known for getting more business from families with children, it is especially important for it to offer a healthy diet instead of junk food. And the Happy Meal is a key part of that. The Happy Meal has long been a target(目标) of health advocates(拥护) and parents who link it to childhood obesity(肥胖症). To get rid of its bad image, MacDonald’s has made many changes on the Happy Meal over the years, including cutting the size of its fries and adding fruit.
Recently, the company replaced its former apple juice with a new kind of juice that has less sugar. MacDonald’s wants all its Happy Meal choices to have 600 calories or fewer. It also wants less than 10% of the meal calories to come from fat and added sugar. The cheeseburger and chocolate milk didn’t meet those new standards. However, MacDonald’s is trying to cut sugar from chocolate milk and believes it’ll be back on the menu eventually.
There will be other changes. For example, bottled water will be added as a choice to the menu, but it will cost extra. Currently, the Happy Meal menu lists milk, chocolate milk, and apple juice.
For international restaurants, MacDonald’s said that a least half of the Happy Meal choices available must meet the new standards. Some MacDonald’s restaurants are adding new menu items to obey. For example, In Italy, a grilled chicken sandwich was added to the Happy Meal menu.
【1】What is the direct influence of removing cheeseburgers and chocolate milk?
A.Orders for them will fall.
B.Other delicious foods will replace them.
C.McDonald’s will become less popular with kids.
D.More families with children will prefer the Happy Meal.
【2】MacDonald’s made changes to Happy Meal in order to ________.
A.improve its business B.fight against junk food
C.show the importance of health D.rid itself of a poor public image
【3】What’s the main disadvantage of the original(原来的;原有的) Happy Meal menu?
A.The size of its fries is too big.
B.Its food choices are too limited.
C.The food on it is too expensive for children.
D.The food on it contains too much fat and sugar.

How to Enjoy Life As a Teen
The "best years of your life"? Maybe not, but you can learn to make the most of your high school days.
【1】. Whether it's having a computer, having friends, having a good supply of food, a bed to sleep on, family that loves you or simply being born in this world. Remember that the point of life is for you to enjoy it. Be happy, and life will reward you. Remember that these are the last few years you will be able to enjoy yourself without having to worry about the responsibility(责任) of an adult.
Choose your friends wisely. Unlike what many articles state, you don't have to be popular and have lots of friends to be happy. 【2】. Try to have friends that like you who you are, not just because you are wearing a certain brand of shoes or something like that. These are people who shop at the same store as you; not someone who will sympathize(同情,安慰) with you when your dog dies.
【3】. Having a healthy body leads to a healthy and happy mind. Being confident in your appearance makes you more confident in other areas.Be sociable. 【4】While you only need 4 or 5 close friends, that doesn't mean you shouldn't try to meet new people. Participating gives you something to do instead of sitting bored at home and wallowing in self-pity.
【5】 ! If you have a special girl/guy you want to ask out, dance with, etc. just ask! You probably won't be rejected(拒绝)but if you are, remember that there will always be someone else that likes you for who you are. Don't go to sleep that night with regret.
A. Go for it.
B.Keep your grades up.
