Jay Wilson was my English teacher at Lake Forest High School. It was him           realized my potential in writing, and his           made me a writer eventually.
He was kind to me, but I had no           that he took particular notice of me. There were other          kids in the class, and soon I fell back into my usual          and thought that I was just a little over average in most things. Near the end of the term, we began to read the play--Macbeth. Believe me, this is not an easy play for high school students to understand,         I spent a lot of time reading it. After working till the night before it was due, I wrote a paper about the           — the first paper I typed on a typewriter — and turned it           the next day.
I got a good           on it, and below the grade Mr. Wilson wrote, “Sure           you become a writer.” That was it. Those six words were written in his clear and neat handwriting. It was the first time he or anyone had           in any way that writing was a          option for me. We’d never had any writers in our family line, and we didn’t know any writers personally, even          , so writing for a living didn’t seem something           to me. But then, just like that, Jay Wilson tapped my hidden            and let me see a wider world.
Over the next 10 years, I often           about Mr. Wilson’s six words. Whenever I felt discouraged, it was those six words that came back to me and gave me          . When a few instructors in college gently and not-so-gently tried to tell me I had no talent, I held Mr. Wilson’s           before me to protect myself. I didn’t          what anyone else thought. Mr. Wilson, head of the whole English department at Lake Forest High,           I could be a writer. So I put my head down and struggled forward.  396

Worlds of Fun
Location: Worlds of Fun is located off Highway 435 in Kansas City, Missouri.
History: Worlds of Fun was opened on May 26, 1973, at a cost of 25 million dollars. Loosely themed around the Jules Verne book, Around the World in Eighty Days, the park was founded by Hunt Midwest Company. In 1982, Hunt Midwest bought a nearby waterpark, Oceans of Fun. In 2013, Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun were combined to a one ticket admission, providing all guests with access to 235 acres of amusement and water rides. 
Hours:  Worlds of Fun is open from April through Halloween. 
Tickets: Buy and print online. Always try to buy your tickets in advance, to save time when you get to the park.
Reservations: Worlds of Fun sells “Fast Lane” cards that save riders’ time by allowing them to bypass the majority of wait for most of rides and attractions including Mamba, Prowler, and Patriot. Ride as many times as you want all day long.
Strategy(策略): Most visitors tend to begin the day with Prowler, the hottest attraction in the park. Use that tendency to your advantage and head to the Patriot first. After that, try the Dragons. Then work your way back to the Prowler. After riding the Prowler, there is only one coaster left, Mamba. Hit it next. If the park is not very crowded, you can ride Boomerang on the way to Mamba. After riding Mamba, head back for a ride on the Wolf. By then you will have tried most of the popular rides and attractions in the shortest possible time. 
News: In 2014, Worlds of Fun is adding Steel Hawk, a ride that will take guests up 301 feet in the air and spin them at a 45-degree angle for a 60-second flight. Wait to have a try!  
When did Hunt Midwest’s two parks start to share one ticket?

With a “Fast Lane” card, the visitor can _________.

What is talked about in the part of Strategy?

Going Green
For career（职业） changers thinking about growth and advancement potential, forget the blue-collar and white-collar categories: Green is the way to go. According to Bracken Hendricks, a senior fellow at the Center for Global Progress, careers that promote environmental responsibility will become main stream within a decade. “The growth in green careers will be like the Internet boom, which not only created new jobs, but also had an influence on the overall economy（经济）,” he says.
The increasing environmental problems and need for eco-friendly products and services are creating a new job section of green-collar jobs. Many countries of the world have realized the importance and need for energy-saving products and services. It is expected that by 2025 about 25% of the jobs in developed countries will be of green-collar jobs. Doesn’t the data look promising for the future?
Green-collar jobs have become a bright career chances for all. And jobs will pop up at every income level, from environmental manager to gardener. For example, many countries including the United States have understood that fossil fuels have negative effect on the environment which can later become a serious danger to mankind. As a result, possibilities are being explored to find alternatives to satisfy demands in a better way. The increasing demand of newer resources（资源） has creating the need for experts and researchers who can find better ways to deal with the ongoing needs. In addition, in order to meet the increasing demands of environment-friendly equipment, both green product designer and educated and trained workers are needed. Management of environmental organizations also demands a large number of environmental managers. 
Where can you find green-collar jobs? Internet is undoubtedly the best way to find information on almost any matter. Nowadays, different kinds of jobs are being posted online. Search through a couple of job websites to look for a bright future in energy conversion and recycling of waste management. Check regularly and find the right work for yourself. People who read newspapers can also find different kinds of green-collar jobs.
Why does Bracken Hendricks mention the Internet Boom in Paragraph One?

Which of the following probably creates green-collar jobs?

What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3?

The passage is written to _______.

Boredom and Creativity
Most of us think of being bored at work as a negative experience, but a new study suggests it can have positive results including an increase in creativity because it gives us time to daydream.
That is the finding of Dr. Sandi Mann from the University of Central Lancashire. Dr. Mann conducted two studies. In the first experiment, 40 people were asked to carry out a boring task. They were told to copy numbers out of a telephone directory for 15 minutes. After that they were asked to complete another task. A pair of cups were given to each of them. Everyone tried to come up with different uses of the cups, and was given a chance to display their creativity. Meanwhile, another group of 40 people were just asked to come up with uses for the cups without doing any boring tasks before. It turned out that the 40 people who had first copied out the telephone numbers were more creative than the control group(对照组).
To see if daydreaming was a factor in this effect, a second boring task was introduced that allowed even more daydreaming than the boring writing task. This second study saw 30 people copying out the numbers as before, but also included a second group of 30 reading rather than writing them.
Again the researchers found that the people in the control group were least creative, but the people who had just read the names were more creative than those who had to write them out. This suggests that more passive boring activities, like reading or perhaps attending meetings, can lead to more creativity. Compared with reading, writing reduced the scope（范围） for daydreaming. As a result, it reduces the  effects of boredom on creativity.
Dr. Mann says: “Boredom at work has always been seen as something to be avoided, but perhaps we should accept it in order to promote our creativity. What we want to do next is to see what the practical implications of this finding are. Do people who are bored at work become more creative in other areas of their work -- or do they go home and write novels?”  
Who proved to be the most creative in the two studies?

The studies conducted by Dr. Mann indicate that creativity results from _______.

What is Dr. Mann’s attitude towards boredom at work?

What will Dr. Mann probably continue to research in their study?

Teen peer pressure
Teen peer pressure is the influence a teen's social group has on him or her. As adolescents enter the teen years, they usually begin to focus more on their peers or friends.    Peers influence most aspects of a teen's life, including how teens dress, what music they listen to, and what kind of activities they are involved in. 
  Good friends can encourage teens to do well in school, get involved in positive activities, volunteer, eat healthy foods, and avoid drugs, alcohol, and other risky activities. Friends also help teens learn good social skills and better ways to communicate and work out problems.   
Negative peer pressure is when teens feel pressured to do something they know is wrong, such as smoking, drinking, stealing, or cutting class.   This is because they want to be liked or fit in, they are afraid of being made fun of, or they want to try something other teens are doing. 
It is important for teens to learn how to deal with peer pressure. There are a lot of things a teen can do to handle it.  Good friends use positive peer pressure to help you be your best self.  Also you need to think about the consequences of your decisions and actions, such as if an activity might harm your health or get you into trouble.  Or you can talk to your parents or a trusted adult about the kinds of peer pressure you face and listen to their advice. Remember that if just one teen stands up against negative peer pressure, usually others will join him or her, and learning to handle peer pressure gives teens more confidence.

E. First of all, teens need to recognize negative peer pressure.
F. For example, you can choose good friends who share your values.
G. The desire to fit in with peers can be a very strong influence on teens.
