When my son was 11 years old, he got a small job helping out with a traveling carnival (嘉年华) in our town. He didn't come home at lunch time, phoning instead to tell me he was fine and had found a few days' work helping out at a show. He turned up for supper as usual however after he finished work.
I asked him how he had managed at lunch and he told me he had made some new friends at the carnival, some young men who were twin brothers, and their mom and dad. They had paid him a few dollars and invited him for lunch in return for helping them set up their show and wanted him to return the next day to help with other chores.
I was glad he had found new friends but a little worried about the type of people who might be traveling in a carnival. "Oh, Mom, these are just normal everyday people like anyone else. They just work at a carnival instead of in a store or something". "Come down tomorrow and meet them yourself, " he said.
So the next day I went to the carnival and to the show he had directed me to. The twin brothers turned out to be Siamese (连体的) twins, joined at the chest. He hadn't thought this fact was noteworthy (值得注意的) enough to mention. When I brought it to him, he said, "Yes, I noticed that too. Do you know that their mom has to make all their clothes because it's so difficult to find anything to fit them? They're also really good cooks. Today, Joe, the one on the right, made me noodles for lunch. "
What others see first in a person is not what a child considers important. Where I saw Siamese twins, he saw people having difficulty buying clothes that fit, and young men who were good cooks. It was a lesson I have thought about many times over the years.
(1)、The twin brothers and their parents wanted the writer's son to return the next day mostly because____.A、they were pleased with his work B、they needed a worker asking little money C、they wanted to treat him to lunch D、they wanted him to make friends with the twins(2)、The author was worried about the new friends her son made because____.A、she feared the people at the carnival were not friendly to her son B、her son could easily believe in strangers C、she thought people traveling in a carnival were not so reliable (可信赖的) D、the carnival was not a place for children(3)、In the boy's eyes, the Siamese twins were____.A、people who had no suitable clothes to wear B、good cooks with strange appearance C、more friendly and kinder than normal people D、just normal people(4)、Which proverb saying may the author agree with according to the last paragraph?A、A friend in need is a friend indeed. B、It's never too late to learn. C、Love me, love my dog. D、It is a matter of opinion. -

Why is it that the people you meet when backpacking (背包旅行) seem to be more interesting and outgoing than your friends at home? That's my experience, anyway. Very often, you'll meet people that are fun to travel with and worth getting to know. I've spent time with people of many countries and have found out some interesting things about their cultures. It's a great way to learn more about the world.
It's often easy to make new friends while you're traveling, and you'll be able to hang around with them for a few days, until one of you leaves for the next exciting place. Relationships of this kind are shorter but can be just as strong as friendships back home, because you do so much together in that short time. I often find I like to share things about myself that I'd never say to my close friends. It is safe, I think, because we probably won't meet again, except online.
One thing that's important when you're backpacking is to make sure you carry only basic needs, so your backpack isn't too heavy. I travel "light" these days. One good tip someone gave me is to take old clothes and just throw them away when you move on, instead of washing and waiting for things to dry. Many hotels don't provide shampoo and shower gel. You can get mini bottles in supermarkets.
I've discovered that many backpackers visit places that other tourists don't go to, and by using local shops and guest houses, they help those
places with much-needed financial (经济上的)support. Most small guest houses allow you to stay for unlimited time, so you can spend as long as you like exploring the local area. Backpackers are also kinder to the environment, because they use trains and buses rather than cars. So, what are you waiting for?
(1)、According to the writer, friendships made with other backpackers____.A、are less serious than those with his friends at home B、end at the moment they separate(分开) from each other C、help him to decide where he would like to travel to D、allow him to talk about himself in an honest way(2)、Which text message would the writer send to a friend?A、" Why don't you fly out to visit me? We'll stay in a famous hotel on the coast. " B、" I'm leaving here tomorrow and then I will drive a car along the coast. " C、" I've met some great people. Tomorrow we're going by boat to an ancient village in the mountains together. " D、" I'm glad I filled up my backpack -- I've got everything I need, though it isn't easy to carry it around!"(3)、How to travel "light" according to the writer?A、Take old clothes and just throw them away when you move on. B、Wash and wait for your clothes to dry in the hotel. C、Take mini bottles of shampoo and shower gel with you. D、Buy new clothes from the supermarket.(4)、Which is the best title for the passage?A、Friendships on the Way B、Traveling with a Backpack C、A Backpacking Experience D、Tips on Travel -

Everybody enjoys acts of kindness. But can you explain why? Some people think kindness is something out of love and care, while others believe it is just a tool that we use to become more popular. But research shows that being kind can activate (激活) an area of the brain called Striatum. Research also shows that kindness improves people's mood (情绪). But why and how does it happen? Here are a number of different ways.
Being kind can make someone smile. If you see yourself smile in a situation, people around you may be smiling, too. This is especially true for your close friends and family. A kind act makes someone who is sad feel better. Itcan also make ourselves feel good. So why not set off that chain (链条)of good feelings to people around?
Secondly, being kind starts or develops a social connection with others. Kid acts like buying someone a present make friendships stronger. Research has shown that spending money on others may help_ you get a stronger feeling of happiness than spending it on yourself. Similarly, charities also open up new circles of people to connect with someone on the other side of the world.
In another recent research, even children in their first year of secondary school know how being kind makes them feel happy. If one person is kind, he or she makes others in the group kind. It also lifts everyone's spirits. Imagine that you make cakes for the office and it makes others do it each month. Then you're getting cakes a lot more days than providing them.
The story doesn't end here. Being kind may improve your mood, but research has also shown that if you're in a good mood, you can act much more kindly. This makes it a wonderful two-way relationship, doesn't it?
(1)、The writer lends in the topic by____.A、telling a story B、asking questions C、giving examples D、making a survey(2)、The underlined word "It" in Paragraph 2 refers to____.A、the situation B、the family C、the kind act D、that chain(3)、Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?A、①/②③④/⑤ B、①/②/③④⑤ C、①/②③④⑤ D、①/②③/④⑤(4)、If you were an editor, you'd put the above passage in" ____"of a newspaper.A、Science B、Wealth C、Invention D、Culture -

Many young people have trouble communicating their parents. However, there are some very useful tips for helping solve this problem.
Firstly, make a list of the things you and your parents disagree about most. With each of these things, try to find an answer acceptable to both you and your parents. It is no good for you to everything to go your way. You have to be ready to change a little if you want them to change.
Secondly, talk to your parents when it is convenient for them. Remember that your parents may have to work many and this can make them tired, so be with them.
Thirdly, listen to what your parents have to say. How can you expect them to listen to you if you are not ready to listen to them? , your parents were once young like you, so they understand your situation better than you expect.
Lastly, if you do not get a satisfactory result, try not to get too angry. Talk with your parents and find out their reasons. Part of growing up is learning to live with these kinds of disagreements, and learning to understand another person's way of looking at things.

18、 从方框中所给的A-E五个选项中选出正确选项(其中一项是多余选项),并回答问题。
People have used leather(皮革)for a very long time. Long ago, early humans made clothes from leather. Today, we still use leather to make shoes, bags, belts, and even car seats. Leather comes from animal skin, usually cows.
But now, some people think we don't need real leather anymore. Some of these are made from plastic, which can hurt the Earth. Others are made from plants, like mushrooms, pineapples, and cacti. Some scientists can even grow leather in a lab using tiny cells from animals. Shall we stop using leather? The following are the different viewpoints of two students.
Kathy:
Many people think it's unacceptable to wear a fur coat, so why is it OK to wear a leather one? It's still made from an animal. Most of the leather we use is from cows, and cows give off gases that make the Earth hotter. Making leather also makes the air and water dirty. We don't need to use leather anymore. We can use these instead.
John: Leather is still a good choice.
Many people around the world eat meat, so it makes sense to use those animal skins for leather instead of letting them go to waste. Fake leather(人造皮革)is often made from plastic, which does not break down and can make pollution worse. It also doesn't last as long, so we may need to buy new things more often.
A. We should stop using leather.
B. Raising cows can be bad for the environment.
C. Leather is strong, lasts a long time, and breaks down naturally when we throw it away.
D. They want to use other materials that look and feel like leather but are not from animals.
E. There are plant-based leathers that look nice, cost less, and don't hurt animals.
Who do you agree with, Kathy or John? Why? (Answer within 15 words)

19、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项
Many people believe that a child's creativity can only be produced in the warmth of a loving family. However, a study showed that this is not always true.
Although it sounds impossible, the study has found that many creative people had difficult childhoods. In fact, many well-known artists developed their special talents because of their difficult childhood experiences. They always used art as a way to stay away from pain(痛苦), creating imaginary worlds so they had more freedom to express themselves. Famous examples include artists like Vincent van Gogh and Franz Hemka.
Experts explain that there are two main ways creativity develops. One is the positive inspiration. When children have caring parents, they learn from this positive action and grow confidently. The other is coping creativity. When children feel no one cares about them, they might use drawing, writing, or music to comfort themselves.
Interestingly, challenges can actually increase creativity, but not enough caring contributes to worries. Research shows early childhood experiences shape creativity patterns and that some challenge helps shape creativity, but too much challenge is bad for people's social skills.
Modern life creates new challenges. With parents working longer hours and greater competition in learning, many children spend more time alone indoors. This leads to problems such as worries and poor social skills. To solve these problems, schools can help by offering art and music programs, training teachers to notice creative students and providing advice for children with problems.
The most important lesson is balance. While challenges can produce creativity, love and support are more important. As one expert says, "Creativity grows best when children feel safe enough to discover but supported enough to take challenges, "Parents and teachers should encourage children's talents while making sure they feel understood.
