Wang Qian was a lovely girl, who never argued (争吵) with her parents. But when she became an eighth-grader, things started to change. "We often argue, sometimes because of unimportant things," she said.
Maybe Wang has got the "eighth-grade syndrome (综合征)". Some experts think eighth-graders usually suffer a lot because of the changes in their body and mind. The lack (缺乏) of support is also a possible reason. Wang's classmate Liu Shijia is an example. "The exams in Grade 8 are more difficult, but my parents still don't support me," she said sadly.
As eighth-graders enter the rebellious phase (叛逆期), they want to be free and have their own ideas. The survey shows that eighth-graders may try to persuade (说服) their parents when they have different ideas. Wang feels this deeply. She thinks there is nothing wrong with playing with boys, but her parents don't agree with her. They often argue about this.
To deal with these problems, an expert from Jiangsu gives useful advice to eighth-graders. "First, calm down and pay more attention to your studies. Second, develop some interests and share them with your parents. Finally, learn about your changes and know yourself well. Then try to accept them," she said.
(1)、Why do students have "eighth-grade syndrome"?(2)、What may eighth-graders do when they have different ideas?(3)、How many suggestions does the expert from Jiangsu give students to deal with these problems?(4)、What is the first suggestion?(5)、Do you think you're old enough to make decisions by yourself? Why? (At least 30 words) -

Dear diary,
Today, I read my diary from four years ago. Time really flies! Four years ago, I was so because I was too short and couldn't join the basketball team. Basketball was important to me at that time. I felt then, but now I can't help laughing when I think of those words in my diary.
I was really sad about that failure. My friends were worried about me. My best friend said, "Why not try something else, like swimming or ?" At first, I just swam to take my mind things. But soon, I really loved swimming. Now, I've won some swimming competitions made a lot of friends. My life has changed a lot.
Looking back, I can see my pains and gains. Growing up isn't easy. We need to face in the right way.
Now I know that is a part of life. It can happen to us at any time. Since then, I've had other bad moments, but I'm not as sad as before. I know failure only for a short time. When one door closes, another door opens. There are many waiting for us in life.
Tomorrow is a new day.

19、 阅读下面短文, 从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项, 使短文通顺连贯, 其中有两项是多余选项。
Good communication between parents and children is important for solving "growing pains". Here are some ways to improve it.
. When your child wants to talk, put down your phone or work. Look at them and listen carefully. Don't interrupt them—let them finish their story first. For example, if your child is late home, let them explain why before you get angry.
. After listening to your child, try to understand how they feel. Say things like, "I know you wanted to help that old woman, so you were late. That must have made you feel good." This makes your child feel heard.
. If you make a mistake, say sorry to your child. For example, if you get angry without knowing the truth, tell them, "I'm sorry for being angry with you. I should have listened to you first." This teaches them to say sorry too.
. Set small, clear rules with your child, like "Be back before 9 pm on school nights". But also let them know that if there's an emergency (紧急情况), they can tell you and change the plan.
. Spend time doing things your child likes, like playing basketball or watching a movie. This helps you get to know each other better and makes communication easier.
Remember, good communication takes time and patience. It helps both parents and children understand each other better.
A. Listen actively
B. Understand their feelings
C. Say sorry when you're wrong
D. Set rules but be flexible (灵活的)
E. Don't talk to your child when you're busy
F. Do fun activities together
G. Ask your child to do housework

Do you often forget to drink water between classes? Try the new "Smart Cup"—a water bottle that talks to you! When it glows (发光) green, it means "Good job". When it turns orange, it's saying "Time to drink!" It even connects to your phone's health app.
This smart cup acts like a mini teacher. Take a photo of your lunch, and it checks if you need more vegetables or protein (蛋白质). Want to eat ice cream? The bottle might say, "Try yogurt first".

But Dr. Li tells everyone, "Your cup can't do sit-ups for you! Play baseball or jog with friends every day." Teen Health magazine found 70% of Smart Cup users eat more fruits.
