He didnt do well in study, so people thought he would never be successful in life. As a small child, Jay took a great interest in music. His mother sent him to learn the piano when he was only three years old. He loved it and kept on practicing. When he was in high school, he could play the piano quite well. At the same time, he showed his talent for writing songs. Before Jay became a singer, he worked as a songwriter. For two years, he spent most of his time writing for singers. Some of them were very famous, like Coco Lee and Jacky Cheung. Jay released(發(fā)行) his first album(專集) in 2000 and soon he got quite popular. Now Jay is one of the most famous singers in AsiaHowever，he is still shy and doesnt smile often. He isnt good-looking and doesnt speak clearly when he sings or talks, but he has a lot of fans.

But can teenagers really make a difference? And how can they go about it?Michael Nortons book 365 Ways to Change the World is a good starting point. The book gives an idea or task for every single day of the year. The tasks include offering to work at a local homeless shelter (庇護所) and planting a tree. The book says that one simple act, no matter how small, can help someone in need. It may even influence (影響) other teens to do something. Nathan Anthony, a student at Maple High School in Modesto, California, US, agrees. “It is impossible to get anything in life without giving something to someone or working hard at school or workplace," Anthony said. Another Maple student, Ariane Mota, has the same idea." Giving is our way of repaying those who help us," she said." Whether it is a helping hand or a donation, we should help others to make their day or life better."But how often do teens see peers (同齡人) helping a stranger or doing something nice for someone?According to Anthony, not a lot. He and Mota both believe this needs to be changed. "I help my friends by telling them that their lives are better than those poorer people," Anthony said." Humor is also a great tool." So whether youre helping to find a cure (療法) for bad illness or simply smiling at a stranger, do something every day to help change the world for the better.59. 365 Ways of Changing the World is a book _.A. written about Michael Norton.B. about what teenagers learn at schoolC. that gives teenagers an idea or task for every single day of the yearD. about how to work in a shelter.60.

Nathan Anthony and Ariane Mota are both teenagers at Maple High SchoolD. humor does not belong to what teenagers should do to change the worldC I never saw my father home from work late or ill, nor did I ever see my father take a“night out with the boys.” He had no hobbies but just take care of his family. For 22 years, since I left home for college, my father called me every Sunday at 9:00am. He was interested in my life-how my family was doing. The calls even came when he and my mother in Australia, England or Florida. Nine years ago when I bought my first house, my father, 67 years old, spent eight hours for three days, painting my house. He would not allow me to pay someone to have it done. All he asked was a glass of iced tea, and that I hold a paintbrush for him and talk to him. But I was too busy, and I could not take the time to hold the paintbrush, or talk to my father. Five years ago, my 71-year-old father spent five hours putting together a swing set(秋千) for my daughter. Again, all he asked was that I get him a glass of iced tea, and talk to him. But again, I had laundry(要洗的衣服)to do, and the house to clean. The morning on Sunday, January 16, 1996, my father telephoned me as usual, this time he had seemed to have forgotten something we had discussed the week before .I had to get to church, and I cut the conversation short. The call came at 4:40 a.m. That day my father was sent to hospital in Florida. I got on a plane immediately, and I vowed (發(fā)誓)that when I arrived ,I would make up for the lost time ,and have a nice long talk with him and really get to know him. I arrived in Florida at 1:00 a.m. ,but my father had passed away at 9:12 p.m. This time it was he who did not have time to talk ,or time to wait for me. In the years since his death I have learnt much about my father and even more about myself. As a father, he never asked me for anything but my time. Now he has all my attention, every single day. 62. We know from the reading that the father_. A. liked to paint houses B. had no friends around him C. was not healthy in his youth D. thought of his family as his all 63. When her father painted her first house, the daughter_.A. could only afford a glass of iced teaB. was too busy to talk to her father C. could do nothing but hold a paintbrush D. spent eight hours a day working with his father 64. In the reading the underlined phrase “get to know him”most probably means_. A. get him to know her B. know more about him C. get him to know himself D. make him well-known 65. Which is the best title of the reading? A. Painting Houses B. Daughters Family C. Father and I D.
