Icebreaker questions for teens
“Hi, my name is …,” followed by awkward silence, is a scene many teens know too well. Yet, one simple question can turn that silence into excited chatter. A recent survey of more than 1,000 students from seven cities reveals that 41% of teens arrive at summer camps or youth clubs feeling nervous. A well-chosen opener, however, can change the mood in minutes. Over 60% of group leaders said that after they used planned icebreakers they saw “clear improvement” in energy levels and cooperation.
What teens want to talk about
Question Category Percentage
Personal interests 34%
Future aspirations 25%
Hypothetical scenarios 20%
Favorite things 12%
Random fun 9%
Total 100%
A closer look at the three categories
Personal interests
Questions such as “What hobby could you never give up ” allow students to share stories about painting or basketball. Many respondents said discovering a shared interest “created an instant friend”.
Future aspirations (志向)
A quarter of the teens liked questions like “Where do you see yourself in ten years ” These questions push young people to picture careers and life goals. Several respondents said the discussion later helped them choose elective courses.
Hypothetical scenarios (假定的场景)
Imaginative questions “If you owned a time machine, which century would you visit ” — ranked third. Though less realistic, they invite creativity and laughter, and often reveal hidden values without asking personal secrets.
Expert insights
Dr. Elena Morris, a youth psychologist, explains, “Teens are at a stage where they are exploring their identities. Questions about interests and future dreams allow them to express themselves in a safe, structured way.”
Similarly, educational expert Michael Tan notes, “Hypothetical questions stimulate creativity and often reveal deeper values without the pressure of being too personal.”

When designer Sunshine Thacker and her family relocated to New York’s Hudson Valley from San Antonio, the move was a breath of fresh air. The family of three found a rental home and a school for their now 12-year-old son while they looked for something more permanent. In 2022, they found the perfect property.
Though designing and building a house can test anyone’s nerves, Ms. Thacker enjoyed the opportunity to create a space for herself and those she loves. “What was great about the break from doing work for other people was that I got to make work that was really meaningful for me,” she said.
Ms. Thacker wanted it to be the kind of house her family could live in forever. It’s all one floor, the doorways are wide, and the bathrooms are tile murals (瓷砖壁画) of drawings by her son, Ace. “I imagine being in this house when I’m 80 and still loving that I get to be surrounded by something Ace did,” Ms. Thacker said.
The project started with Ms. Thacker’s love for a drawing her son made on the back of a notebook in third grade. He had drawn a collection of creatures of different shapes and sizes. To bring the mural to life, she laid out the primary bathroom walls as if they were connected and drew the characters over them. She played with different creatures, giving one in particular a starring role. Though she has years of experience with clay from making vases, this was her first mural. “This is part of what I love about doing something new,” she said. “The whole part where you just can’t be afraid to fail.”
Celebrating her son’s creativity with this project was healing (有治愈作用的) for Ms. Thacker, allowing her to find joy in “seeing your child and their creativity and letting it exist without comment, to just be accepting.”
4. What contributed to Ms. Thacker’s enjoyment in designing their house
A．The encouragement from her family.
B．The flexible working hours.
C．The motivation from within.
D．The impressive property.
5. What did Ms. Thacker expect of their house
A．It lay next to a school.
B．It could serve as a model.
C．It looked antique and perfect.
D．It reflected love and connection.
6. What can we say about Ms. Thacker during her first mural project
A．She forced herself to learn clay skills.
B．She experienced new drawing techniques.
C．She experimented with design innovation.
D．She got inspiration from cartoon characters.
7. What is the best title for the text
A．What Makes a House Spacious
B．Where Childhood Art Finds a Home
C．How a Child’s Drawing Stands Out
D．What Matters for Home Improvements

Valentia Island, one of Ireland’s most westerly points, receives around 20,000 visitors annually. Most tourists come to the island to see the picturesque lighthouse. Since Paul O’Neil built the first bee beds on the island in summer 2023, visitors have been drawn to the island for a unique experience.
“I’ve created a whole experience around the bee beds,” explains Paul. “You start on a bus where we will give you a natural liquid collected by honey bees, then I will help you into your beekeeping suits.”
Each wooden house has two beds, each with five hives (蜂箱) underneath it. “You’re very close to the bees but protected by a fine net. There are also observation hives built into the wall of the house where you can observe all the bees in a way that you can’t even do through traditional beekeeping. You’re then free to just lie down and experience this unique moment,” says Paul.
Guests usually stay for about half an hour, breathing in the smell of fanning bees. Many fall fast asleep, supported by advanced red light technology, soft sounds, and nice smells. The hives similarly purify the air, which Paul says are “very beneficial for cleansing your lungs.” Being so close to honey bees is thought to have beneficial health effects. While claims haven’t been proven, bee beds have been used for centuries for sleep disorders, tiredness, and stress.
The bee houses close during the winter months when the queen stops laying, but they reopen in the spring when the queen is busy again. Due to the year-round demand, Paul is now looking to winter bee experiences for bee-friendly visitors.
Beekeepers, who barely cover their costs these days, can earn a second income from this unusual travel trend. That’s why Paul offers a course that teaches other bee enthusiasts how to set up bee beds.
“Bee beds allow normal people to feel the goodness of bees while obviating the risks of being a beekeeper,” says Paul.
8. What was Paul’s motivation for building bee beds
A．To protect wild bees.
B．To attract tourists with uniqueness.
C．To sell honey on Valentia Island.
D．To replace traditional beekeeping.
9. What can guests get during their bee bed experience
A．A course on setting up bee beds.
B．A chance to engage in beekeeping.
C．Peaceful rest and natural comfort.
D．30 minutes of physical exercise and recovery.
10. What is Paul’s plan for the future
A．Moving bee beds outdoors.
B．Providing winter bee experiences.
C．Improving the living environment of bees.
D．Offering a safe environment for observing bees.
11. What does the underlined word “obviating” in the last paragraph mean
A．Posing.
B．Assessing.
C．Spreading.
D．Removing.
D
Three beams (木梁) span the ceiling of my living room. Wide, weathered, and dark with age, they bear the marks of earlier use — holes where the Douglas fir (花旗松) reveals a past life. I like how they look and how it feels to live under old growth. But mainly I like knowing that the wood, which came from an abandoned factory, spared trees from harvest and kept useful material from being buried as waste.
Around the world, more governments and companies are encouraging the idea of wood reuse. Yet turning recovered wood into a climate solution extensively isn’t simple.
Among the pioneers of reclaimed materials is Dave Bennink, a deconstruction expert whose teams at Re-Use Consulting have helped relocate or partially deconstruct thousands of structures and trained hundreds of contractors and reclamation teams. Bennink’s work has been involved in many local initiatives — including in Portland, the first U.S. city to require old residential homes to be deconstructed rather than torn down. When the city passed its rule in 2016, he helped train contractors on how to deconstruct buildings piece by piece.
Not every effort has succeeded, though — Milwaukee’s short-lived deconstruction rule that was adopted in 2018 has since been suspended, in part because the local market for reclaimed materials is not established enough to support it. In Denver, voters approved the “Waste No More” initiative in 2022, but the rule has yet to be fully carried out. One major concern: whether enough companies exist to handle the work. The city needs a sufficient network of companies that can reclaim and deconstruct, as well as a strong market for reclaimed wood and other materials.
Barbara Buser, an architect in Switzerland, argues that the problem lies in the past century of unsustainable building practices — cheap, fast construction with new materials that ignore long-term environmental costs. The real challenge, she says, is changing the way people think about buildings — not to be torn down, but as sources of material. “We could systematically inspect all the structures likely to be taken down and record their parts. That won’t help without more people wanting to reuse the materials.”
12. Why does the author mention the three beams
A．To show the value of old wood.
B．To introduce the history of his house.
C．To highlight the quality of the Douglas fir.
D．To complain about the waste in construction.
13. What prevents reclaimed wood being used extensively
A．A shortage of suitable sites for wood recovery.
B．Limited interest from architects and engineers.
C．Voters’ strong resistance to taking down old buildings.
D．A lack of deconstruction companies and well-developed markets.
14. What is Barbara Buser’s attitude towards the future of wood reuse
A．Conditionally optimistic.
B．Considerably doubtful.
C．Regretfully pessimistic.
D．Entirely unclear.
15. Which best shows the structure of the text
A．Cause → Effect → Solution → Evaluation.
B．Situation → Topic → Problem → Reflection.
C．Observation → Action → Result → Conclusion.
D．Description → Suggestion → Example → Argument.

In 1978, I was a member of the Baldwin-Wallace College Yellow Jackets football team. The values taught by our coaches were symbolized by the word “FOUR!”

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
On the first day of my summer break, I walked into a fast-food restaurant on Main Street to start my new job. Having just finished my freshman year, I was there because my parents insisted I get a job to improve myself.
As soon as I stepped inside, my manager, Ms. Carter, greeted me with a bright smile. “Welcome aboard! Today, we start with the basics, ” she said. I nodded, trying not to show how nervous I was. I spent the first few hours learning the registers, the proper way to handle the fryer, and the Special words for different orders.
By the end of the first week, I had learned one important lesson: patience. During the lunch rush, I was thrown into the deep end. Orders came quickly. The line of customers stretched out the door, and my hands shook as I tried to keep up. A customer got angry because I gave him the wrong drink, and I felt my face burn. I wanted to quit. But Ms. Carter pulled me aside. “Mistakes happen. Take a breath, focus, and keep going. You’ll get faster, I promise.” Her confidence in me made me realize I couldn’t give up yet.
The next few weeks were full of challenges and small victories. I learned how to work the fryer without burning myself, how to remember orders without writing them down, and how to calm angry customers with a smile. I began to feel like part of a team.
Then came my biggest challenge. One Friday evening, right before the dinner rush, our cashier called in sick. Ms. Carter looked around and said, “Leo, you’re up front tonight.” My stomach dropped. The register was fast and complicated, and the line was already forming outside. I wanted to say no, but everyone was counting on me.
At first, it was a disaster. I hit the wrong buttons and the line grew restless. For a moment, I thought about running into the kitchen and hiding. But then I remembered Ms. Carter’s words: “Take a breath, focus, and keep going.”
注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右；(2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
I took a deep breath and forced myself to slow down.

五、读后续写范文
Paragraph 1
I took a deep breath and forced myself to slow down. I wiped my sweaty hands on my uniform and focused all my attention on the register. Instead of rushing blindly, I scanned each order carefully and pressed the buttons patiently. Whenever I felt anxious, I repeated Ms. Carter’s words to myself. Gradually, I got the hang of the work. I typed accurately, answered customers’ questions politely and served orders quickly. The restless line calmed down, and many customers smiled and thanked me.
Paragraph 2
By the end of the shift, I was tired but extremely proud. I had successfully got through the busy dinner rush without any mistakes. Ms. Carter came up to me and praised me for my great progress and perseverance. This experience taught me a valuable lesson: fear comes from hesitation, and courage and focus can help us overcome any difficulty. From then on, I became more confident and grew into a more responsible and steady person in both work and life.
