You may not know a lot of people when you start senior high school. Maybe your friends from junior high school are going to a different senior high school. Even if you know other freshmen (一年级学生), you still feel jittery that you don’t know any upperclassmen. How are you going to make friends among this sea of unknown faces?
Most senior high schools hold the freshman orientation (迎新会) before school actually starts. It is helpful because you not only learn your way around the building but also get to meet some of your teachers and fellow freshmen. That way, when you show up on your first day of school, you may already recognize a few familiar faces.
When you talk to people at orientation, you’ll probably find that a lot of them are feeling just like you are. They’re all new to the school and don’t know what to expect. Talking about a common concern with your classmates can help you develop friendships.
The work in senior high school is something freshmen are probably worried about. It builds on what you learned in junior high school, giving you a more advanced (高深的) knowledge of many subjects. So you may find you have more work to do or that it’s a bit more challenging. If you ever find your work too difficult, teachers can give you extra help.
Senior high school also has more after-school activities than junior high school, such as clubs, music and theater groups and sports teams. This is a good time to explore your interests and try new things.
Junior high school taught you the basics of time management and social skills while providing you with a little extra support and guidance. Senior high school gives you the chance to learn how to be more independent and responsible.

Andrew White brings his four-legged friends Oliver and Amore to his neighborhood Petco pet stores in San Diego for a little takeout. He has brought the pair to a kibble refill station (宠物食品补给站) that allows owners to use their own containers (容器).
“It’s more affordable for everyone,” he said.
Like the price of many things these days, the price of owning a pet has been increasing. A report on petfoodindustry.com finds the cost of feeding household animals was up about 6% in March over last year. The overall pet category saw a 7.5% increase compared to March of 2021. The American Pet Products Association says a record $123.6 billion was spent in the US last year on pets. A survey shows 70% of American families now include a pet of some Kind.
In Kansas City, the KC Pet Project is seeing animals surrendered because of their owners’ money problems. “It is sad to see a number of pets coming in through our doors,” said KC Pet Project Chief Communications Officer Tori Fugate. “People are calling us every week saying, ‘I don’t want to leave my animal, but I can’t find a place to live with it.’”
One big cost is vet (兽医) care. The KC Pet Project gave out more than $96,000 last year to help owners with medical bills. Recent findings from Consumers’ Checkbook show costs differed widely from vet to vet in seven Cities they listed. So they say f pet owners want to save money, do some checking first. “If you know that your pets are going to need certain treatment, you can call around and get prices, and then decide what to do next,” said Consumers Checkbook Executive Editor Kevin Brasler.
In Florida, the Humane Society of Tampa Bay has increased its animal pantries (食品储藏室), so people can get free food for their dogs and cats.
“I believe things will get better,” said Sherry Silk, CEO of the Humane Society of Tampa Bay.“It’s got to get better because the animals really need us.”

Parents, do you ever wonder what’s going on in your children’ s minds? Teens, do you ever wish you could tell your parents how you feel about their parenting styles? And are your parents like everyone else’s? One East Valley teacher is helping bridge this gap (隔阂) with a unique survey.
Scott Reed, a psychology teacher from Hamilton High School in Chandler, AriZona, says, no doubt, it is very different being a teenager today than it was when their parents were teens.
Social media (媒体) has played a big role in that change. “I think social media puts a lot of stress on us,” said Vedant Thareja, a senior at Hamilton High School. He added that he had female friends who felt stressed to look a certain way, because of pictures of famous people they saw on social media, and were disappointed (失望的) when they could not achieve that look. Lexi Lamond, a 16-year-old Hamilton High School student agreed. “Everybody is comparing themselves to everyone these days,” said Lamond.
Both students are part of Reeds class and took part in a survey of parenting styles. The survey showed teenagers felt their parents were often wanting them to compete with another teen who is doing better than them, or a brother or sister who outshines them. Teens also showed that they wanted their parents to stop trying to solve all their problems. Sometimes they just needed space to talk and deal with things themselves. Teens said they felt their parents were trying too hard to place themselves in every part of their lives.
One point that mom and educational expert Katey McPherson found insightful (有见地的) was that teens said they could not meet their parents’ expectations to “be perfect” all the time.
Reed’s survey offered great insight into the mind of a teen and the role they wanted to see parents playing in their lives. Mental (心理的) health experts suggest parents teach their children the skills of solving problems, getting along with others in a healthy way, and ways to manage stress so they would be prepared to deal with any disappointment and failure that could come their way as they grew into young adults.
12．What is Reed trying to do with the survey?
A．Find the problems teens have with learning.
B．Collect questions raised by worried parents.
C．Improve communication between parents and teens.
D．Show the differences between present and past teens.
13．What has been changed for some teens under the influence of social media?
A．They have less time for study. B．They have fewer real-life friends.
C．They like to post more pictures. D．They care more about appearance.
14．What do teens think of their parents according to Reed’s survey?
A．They are impatient. B．They are talkative.
C．They expect too much. D．They work too hard.
15．What do mental health experts advise parents to do for their teens?
A．Act as role models for them. B．Help them develop life skills.
C．Find ways to improve their study. D．Encourage them to learn from failures.
