In many places the weather changes during the year. These changes are called seasons. In the north and south there are four seasons in a year. At the North and South Pole, there are only two seasons. In tropical (热带) places near the Earth's equator (赤道) , there are two seasons: a 'wet' season and a 'dry' season. Each season brings changes. They are important for plants and animals that live in different parts of the world.
Spring starts when the day and night are the same length. The weather gets warmer and sunnier. Trees and plants start to grow. Many animals have their babies in spring.
Summer begins on the longest day of the year. In the north this is on June 21 or 22. Summer is usually the warmest and sunniest time of the year. Fruit grows faster on trees and plants. Young animals grow bigger and stronger.
Autumn starts when the day and night are the same length again. During autumn, the leaves change color and fall down from the trees. Some animals collect food before winter comes.
Winter begins on the shortest day of the year. In the north this is on December 21 or 22. The weather is colder and in some places there is lots of snow. Plants and trees stop growing. Some animals, like bats and bears, find places to hide and sleep. This is called hibernation.

As summer gives way to autumn, many of us find ourselves lacking (缺少) warmth and sunlight. And the shorter days make some people feel upset (沮丧的) and lazy. They are having the so-called autumn sadness. In worse cases, however, some may suffer from seasonal affective disorder, or SAD.
SAD is a type of depression (抑郁症). It mostly starts in the late autumn or early winter and goes away in the spring and summer. People who have SAD oversleep, overeat, and lose interest in activities they once liked. They also feel sad and even desperate (绝望的).
The reason for SAD is not clear. Johns Hopkins University said that the lack of natural light during the autumn and winter months may disrupt (打乱) the body clock and the making of hormones (荷尔蒙). This disruption can lead to depression.
People with SAD often need medical (医药的) help. Light therapy (光疗法) is a common and useful way to treat(治疗) it. Doctors advise patients (病人) to get as much sunlight as possible. Light therapy helps to balance hormones and get a patient’s life back on track.
Also, living a healthy life, like sleeping early, exercising often, and eating well, can help people deal with SAD.
According to the National Institute of Mental Health of the US, in most cases (情况), SAD begins in young adulthood (青年时期). So, while studying inside the classroom, don’t forget to get some sunshine outside the classroom when you can!
41.When are people most likely to get SAD in our country
A．In March.
B．In June.
C．In September.
D．In November.
42. What do people usually do when they have SAD
A．They feel full and stay up late at night.
B．They eat more, sleep more and feel sad.
C．They eat less and do more exercise.
D．They sleep early and live a healthier life.
43. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A．The changes in the body in autumn and winter.
B．The body clock of people with SAD.
C．The hormones people need.
D．The possible reason for SAD.
44. What does the underlined part mean in the passage
A．make people feel younger
B．make people’s lives more colorful
C．help people get more sunlight
D．help people become healthy again
45. How can we help protect ourselves from SAD
A．Not exercising under too much sunlight.
B．Having a healthy lifestyle.
C．Trying to stay indoors.
D．Helping others deal with SAD.

· Do you still want it a week later
If the thing passes the "really- wanting-it" test, try to wait for some time to see how strong the desire( 欲望) is. This strategy works for grown- ups, too!
· How will you pay for it
After the first two steps, Ben found he really wanted a toy pirate ship, but it cost $ 50. He had$ 22 in his pocket and got $ 1. 50 a week to spend. His mother helped him work out. But how many weeks he would need to save to get the ship: 19.
Are there ways to earn the money
Ben agreed to wash the downstairs windows at a price of a dollar for each. So he got $ 10 for himself and sparkling(闪亮的) sunlight for the rest of the family.
. Can you get it cheaper
After deciding to buy it, it is necessary for you to look for less expensive ways to buy it: search for what you want on the Internet or in shops and flea markets( 跳蚤市场). Sometimes you can find .the same thing at a much lower price.
If these suggestions work well, they can save you a lot of money. You will be a really smarts hopper.

How to be a better teenager
Hello, everyone! Today I'd like to share my ideas about how to be a better teenager.
First of all, we should develop healthy living habits. We can run for half an hour every day to keep healthy. What's more,we should make a study plan and take action to achieve it. The more knowledge we learn, the brighter future we will have. And we had better be friendly to others.
When others need help, we should try our best to help them. Finally, it is good to take up good hobbies and take part in voluntary activities, such as cleaning the city park.
In a word, if we try our best, we will become better and better.
Thank you!
