When it was my thirteenth birthday, I was overjoyed that the moment has come for me to become a teenager. I
would be given more responsibility and freedom. My writing skills would strengthen and become sharper （鲜明
的）. To me，the experience of being a teenager excited me. I was so focused on the pleasures that I almost forgot
my sister's warning. I didn't understand at first, but realized later what she meant.
As a teen, you-and probably many others-love the sweets teenhood brings. You are given more freedom from
your parents. You can actually have some privacy with the freedom you have. The talents you have start to
strengthen and become sharp. Also, you can get a job and earn your own money. Of course, you have to do so when
your parents allow you to.
As I said before, being a teenager isn't all happy and fun. Adults place higher expectations on you as you get
older. The peer pressure starts to kick in. As you start to gain friends ， you lose friends as well. The mood
swings（情绪波动）come and go. To make matters worse, you receive more homework. That's terrible!
All in all, teen life can be really stressful. With so many things going on, a teenager can hardly breathe! I, for
one, can tell from experience that teenhood can really be a disappointment， with no fun at all. And then， it can
be heaven（天堂）. That is just the way life goes.
4. What did the author's sister probably warn?
A. Every coin has two sides.
B. It is never too old to learn.
C. Failure is the mother of success.
D. Rome wasn't built in a day.
5. What does teenage life mean to the author?
A. Poorer understanding. B. More friends.
C. Less freedom. D. Sharper talents.
6. What's the worse thing teenagers will experience according to the text?
A. Endless homework. B. Lack of money.
C. High expectations. D. Bad mood.
7. What is the author's attitude towards teenage life?
A. Favourable. B. Relaxed. C. Objective. D. Doubtful.
C
“Award” and “reward” have similar meanings. They both can be different parts of speech-nouns and verbs.
They are something you get for your behaviour, but there are major differences. Let's look more deeply at each
word.
“An award” is a noun. It is something valuable that is given, like a prize, to someone for their
accomplishments. “Awards” are usually given by someone to someone else. As a verb, “award” means to give
someone something, like a prize or money, for an accomplishment. Look at the following sentences: The students
received an award from the teacher for not missing any school days. The judges awarded first place to the dance
group.
In the area of law, “award” has slightly different meanings. As a verb, “award” means to give an official
judgment（判决）of an amount or sum of money. As a noun ，“award” is the amount of money the court or
judge decides. Look at the following sentences: The judges awarded money to the victims （受害者）. The award
totaled 2.5 million dollars.
Let's move on to “reward”. “A reward” is a benefit given to someone in exchange for a certain behaviour or
action. “Reward” as a verb means to give someone a prize for their actions or behaviour. Look at the following
sentences: The reward for all the students passing the test was an ice cream party. I rewarded my cat with some fish
after he did a trick.
Remember, “ award” is based on accomplishments. And “reward” is based on behaviours or actions.
