[03:34.54]Sun Fei:We have a lot of rules at my house.

[03:38.98]Wu Yu:So do we.For example,I have to stay at home on school nights.

[03:46.35]Sun Fei:I usually do,too.But sometimes I'm allowed to study at a friend's house.

[03:53.61]What about weekends?

[03:56.77]Wu Yu:Well,I'm allowed to go the movies with friends on Friday nights.

[04:03.02]Sun Fei:Me,too,but I have to be home by 10:00pm.

[04:08.37]Wu Yu:And on Saturday afternoons,I'm allowed to go shopping with my friends.

[04:17.07]Wu Yu:And I'm allowed to choose my own clothes,

[04:25.51]SECTION B

[04:32.17]2a Listen and circle the things in activity 1a that you hear.

[05:17.23]2b Listen again.Match these sentence parts.

[06:00.39]3a Read the article and then answer the questions.

[06:07.36]The other day,

[06:10.21]my friends and I got to talking about the rules that we have in school.

[06:16.14]At our schoo,we have to wear uniforms every day.

[06:21.60]The proplem is that all my classmates think the uniforms are ugly.

[06:27.97]We think young people should look smart

[06:32.23]and so we would like to wear our own clothes.

[06:36.88]Our teachers believe that if we did that,

[06:41.01]we would concentrate 2 more on our clothes than our studies.

[06:46.36]We disagree.We would feel more comfortable and that is good for studying.

[06:53.52]If we can't do that,we should be allowed to design our own uniforms.

[06:59.89]That would be a good way to keep both teachers and students happy.

[07:05.46]It's also probably a good idea for parents to allow teenagers

[07:11.62]to study in groups during the evening.

[07:15.38]I know we get noisy sometimes,but we learn a lot from each other.

[07:21.86]We also think that vacations should be longer.

[07:26.72]At present they're too short.

[07:30.19]Longer vacations would give us time to do things like volunteering.

[07:36.36]Last summer I had an opportunity to volunteer at the local hospital,

[07:43.02]but I couldn't because I had to go back to school.

[07:47.67]It would be a good experience for me

[07:51.72]because I want to be a doctor when I'm older.

[07:55.98]2 Read this article.

[08:05.36]Write a letter to the editor agreeing or disagreeing.

[08:10.71]Explain your reasons.

[08:13.95]Helping and learning 3

[08:17.29]At our school,we sometimes have a special day to help others.

[08:23.14]Last year we went to an old people's home

[08:27.59]and sang songs and performed a play for them.

[08:32.24]The old people were very happy.

[08:36.21]We should be allowed to take time to do things like that more often.

[08:41.77]For examlp,we should visit primary schools and help teach young students.

[08:48.54]I want to be a teacher when I'm older so it would be a great experience for me.

[08:55.20]Other students would like to do other jobs.

[08:59.64]For example,my friend Tian Ge wants to write for a newspaper.

[09:05.80]She should be allowed to volunteer at the newspaper office once a week.

[09:11.55]On Friday afternoons,many students are sleepy after a long week of classes.

[09:18.63]Some students should be allowed to have Friday afternoons off

[09:24.09]to volunteer and help others.

[09:28.35]READ                 That's cool!

[09:35.79]Jia Ping is"cool".He wears the latest jeans,chats online with his friends,

[09:44.15]and his mobile 4 phone is always ringing.

[09:48.41]For Jia,cool isn't just a word.

[09:53.08]It means 5 a popular and successful lifestyle.

[09:57.52]Cool includes fun stuff,nice clothes,and computer games.

[10:03.59]Other people are cool because they don't follow what everyone else does.

[10:09.25]They do what they want to do and don't care if other people like it or not.

[11:41.26]You can also be cool by playing games on mobile phones

[11:46.61]or sending text messages to your friends.

[11:50.87]In fact that's more than cool.It's way cool!

[11:56.93]"It's good that the young have their own ideas about life as well as about being cool."

[12:03.70]said Shi Kai, a teacher.

[12:07.48]"Older people should respect them and give them some direction.

[12:12.73]For example,it's natural these days for young people to want material things

[12:19.81]like computers or mobile phones.

[12:24.18]But we should teach them to build their lives on hard work,not dreams.

[12:30.55]To realize your dream through great effort your dream through great effort is really being cool,"he said.

[12:37.39]Zhang Tong,54,

[12:41.16]thinks young people today show that they are cool with their personality 9.

[12:47.22]Says Zhang,"When I was young,we wore almost the same clothes.

[12:54.09]We watched the same movies as our parents.

[12:58.21]There was almost no youth culture.

[13:02.16]Now I'm glad to see different personalities 10.

[13:06.60]The young should be proud of their own culture."

[13:10.86]Yuan Jiang agrees with Zhang.

[13:14.62]"Youth today value personality,independence,and freedom very much,"she says.

[13:22.46]"All these thigs are cool."

[13:25.98]Huang Shaohua,a young mother,

[13:30.37]wrote an article about being cool for the Beijing Youth Daily.

[13:36.12]She said what you look like would not decide if you are cool or not.

[13:41.89]Insted,youg people who can find their dream

[13:47.82]on their own are the ones who are really cool.
