READING 1 What are the “simple things” in life? Check (✓) the list. 1 ride a bike 2 have a pet 3 have money 4 go shopping 5 eat fast food 6 go swimming 7 spend time with family 8 spend time with friends 9 have fashionable clothes 10 have the best cell phone 2 Which things from the list in 1 are the most important to you? 3 W hat do happy children eat every day? Read the article quickly and find the answer. What’s important in life? by Jenny Hammond Fashionable clothes, new cell phones, and vacations: do they make you happy? What are the most important things in life? Researchers in the United States asked 5,000 teenagers, aged 13-15, this question. The answer is “the simple things” are most important. Friends, a good home life, and sports make young teens happy. They say these things are more important than money. I’m very pleased that a lot of teens understand what is good for them and what is bad for them. What about the Internet? Do Facebook and YouTube make teens happy? Do happy teens spend lots of time online? The researchers asked about this, and they learned something very interesting. Teens who use the Internet for only one hour a day are happy, but teens who spend lots of time online aren’t very happy. This is because they don’t have time for 6

4 Read the article again and answer the questions. 1 According to the article, which of these is important for teens? When you answer multiple-choice A money questions, read the question and B vacations look for the answer in the text. C family life Then read the different answer choices and choose the one that 2 What point does the writer make about happy teens and is closest to the answer you found the Internet? in the text. A They spend all their free time online. B They never use websites like Facebook and YouTube. C They spend only a little of their free time online. 3 Why are some teens unhappy? 4 What is true about some older girls? A They don’t eat fast food every day. A They don’t like how they look. B They don’t want to share a bedroom. B They have problems with their friends. C They don’t know some food is not healthy. C They worry about their parents. 5 Match the two parts of the sentences. The words in bold will help you. 1 I like to spend a my friends at the mall. 2 Let’s have b time with my brothers and sisters. 3 My sisters share c a bedroom, but I have my own. 4 On Saturdays, I usually meet d sports because she doesn’t like to run. 5 Every morning, I ride e fast food for lunch: burgers or pizza? 6 Helen doesn’t play f my bike to school with my friends. 6 Be the detective! Tanya and Tina are sisters. They share a bedroom. But today there is a problem. Read the conversation. Do you know how Tina knows Tanya is lying? Tina: Tanya! That’s my money. It was on my bed. Tanya: No, it isn’t, Tina. This is my money. I found it in my book. It was between pages 13 and 14 of The Hunger Games. Tina: You’re lying! I know it. other activities that can make them happy. For example, they don’t play sports, ride their bikes, or meet their friends at the mall. But it isn’t only activities with friends that make teens happy. Teens who have their own bedroom are happier. Maybe when they share a bedroom with a brother or sister, there are lots of fights! Food is important, too. Those who don’t eat fruits and vegetables every day or those who eat a lot of fast food are usually less happy. Are you eating something bad for you now? Stop! It’s bad for your health and your happiness. So, who is happier – girls or boys? Girls aged 13 are the happiest, but girls aged 14-15 are the least happy. The researchers say the older girls are unhappier for two reasons. First, their parents are concerned about their friends and they don’t want them to go out a lot. Second, the older girls start to worry about how they look. Boys don’t usually have this pressure. What about children in your country? Do you think they agree with the American children in the study? UNIT 1 7

My dog is always happy to see me. W e can also use other time expressions with the simple present.
