Now all of her family work is in her business, and she is still at school. She gets up early in the morning. And then she has a talk with her family about the business over breakfast. Every day during weekdays, she goes to school in her own car with a driver, for she is not old enough. She enjoys her school, but some of the work is too easy for her to feel interested in. She usually gets“ A” grades in all her subjects. So the other students often ask her for help. She finishes her homework in half an hour after her driver takes her home. After dinner, she goes to her office and goes on working on her computer, writing games until 2 a.m. She does not usually need so much sleep as other children.

And I dont like the sharp pins(釘 ) on them. If I put the badge on the wrong side, it pricks(刺 ) me and really hurts. Sarah: I think we should wear school badges, because they show we love and respect our school. School badges can also help us to be better students. You have to be good when you wear the badges, because if you do something wrong and people see your badge, your whole school will get a dab reputation. Nancy: I love my school badge. It looks good and is different from all other schools badges. Every time I put mine on, I feel proud. Larry: Wearing school badges can be really useful. If you come from a good school, your school badge tells people that. Then others will think that youre a good boy or girl. Jerry: Wearing school badges is a good idea, but I dont think ours are very nice. I think we should make school badges out of fabrics(織物 ) and sew them onto our school uniforms. Thats safer, and in that way people cant lose them, either. Fill in each blank with one word according to the meaning of the passage. (D) Boys and girls, welcome to Teen Talk.
