Living and dealing with kids can be a tough job these days, but living and dealing with parents can be even tougher.
　　If I have learned anything in my 16 years, it is that communication is very important, both when you disagree and when you get along. With any relationship, you need to let other person know how you are feeling. If you are not able to communicate, you drift apart.When you are mad at your parents, or anyone else, not talking to them doesn’t solve anything.
　　Communication begins with the concerns (關(guān)心) of another. It means that you can’t just come home from school, go up to your room and take no notice to anyone. Even if you just say “Hi”, and see how their day was for five minutes, it is better than nothing.
　　If you looked up the word “communication” in a dictionary, it would say “the exchange of ideas, the conveyance （表達）of information, correspondence （通信）, means of communication: a letter or a message”. To keep a good relationship, you must keep communication strong. Let people know how you feel, even if it’s just by writing a note.
　　When dealing with parents, you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as a parent. If you are trying to make them see something as you see it, tell them that you’ll listen to what they have to say, and ask them politely to listen to you. Shouting or walking away only makes the situation worse.
　　Here is an example: one night, Sophie went to a street party with her friends. She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks, but she didn’t feel she could just ask to go home. That would be rude. After all, they had been nice enough to take her along with them. Needless to say, she was late getting home. Her parents were mad at first, but when Sophie explained why she was late, they weren’t as mad and let it go. Communication is the key here. If Sophie’s parents had not been willing to listen, Sophie would have been in a lot of trouble.
　　Communication isn’t a one-way matter: it goes both ways. Just remember: if you get into a situation like Sophie’s, telling the other person how you feel-------listening is the key to communication.
小題1:In the writer’s view, dealing with parents is __________ than with children.
A．more difficultB．much easier
C．less interestingD．more interesting
小題2:The underlined phrase “ drift apart” in Paragraph 2 means __________.
A．keep up with othersB．move along smoothly
C．distance yourself form othersD．come closer to each other
小題3:The example in Paragraph 6 shows that ___________.
A．Sophie is very polite to her parents　　
B．Sophie’s parents are willing to listen to her
C．Sophie did well in explaining her being late
D．communication is the solutionto misunderstanding
小題4:All the following statements are correct except “_______”.
A．Communication is a two-way matter　　
B．It is better to say “Hi” to others than say nothing
C．If you don’t agree with others, you’d better let them know
D．When dealing with parents, you only need to listen to them

The Earth has warmed by about half a degree（0.50℃）over the last 100 years. It could be getting warmer on its own, but many scientists think that people are making the Earth warmer by making a greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is important.  Without it, the Earth would not be warm enough for us to live on. But just a little warmer than it is now could cause problems for humans, plants and animals.
Many of the things we do every day can change the Earth’s temperature by sending greenhouse gases into the air. We send greenhouse gases into the air when we watch TV, turn on lights, dry hair, play video games, wash or dry our clothes or drive cars. The rubbish from factories and homes also produces greenhouse gases.
Even a small change in temperature can affect our weather. This can cause changes in the sea levels, the air, flooding, and our fresh water.
The change in the temperature can also cause changes in the living places for animals and plants, endangering many animals.
Global warming is a big problem, and every little bit we do can help. We can save electricity. We can save energy in other ways such as by taking buses or walking rather than driving cars. We can recycle to reduce the rubbish and save natural resources such as trees, oil and metals. We can buy products that don’t do bad to the environment and we can turn to solar energy. Remember the little bit that you do will bring a better world.
小題1: Which of the following does not send greenhouse gases into the air?
A．Watching TV.B．Turning on a light.
C．Driving a car.D．Walking to school.
小題2: In this passage, the scientists are mainly trying to make the readers realize___________ .
A．the greenhouse effect is important
B．humans are making the earth warmer
C．the earth is getting warmer in 100 years
D．the earth could be getting warmer by itself
小題3: Without the greenhouse effect，we would _____________ .
A．be safer B．not be able to live
C．have a cleaner earthD．have a better world
小題4: The writer gives us advice on how to save energy in __________ .
A．Paragraph 2B．Paragraph 3
C．Paragraph 4D．Paragraph 5
小題5: Global warming is a big problem but ___________ .
A．we can't do anything to helpB．we don't need to do anything
C．we can do something to helpD．we can do something to stop it

Try reading the following sentences as fast as you can. “She sells seashells by the seashore. The shells she sells are surely seashells. So if she sells shells on the seashore, I’m sure she sells seashore shells.”
Not very easy, was it? What you’ve just read is called a tongue twister (繞口令). It is an exercise made up of sounds that are hard to pronounce(發(fā)音，讀) in order to help people pronounce words faster and more correctly. Try the next example.
“Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled pepper. Did Peter Piper pick a peck of pickled peppers? If Pete Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, where’s the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?”
Tongue twisters usually do not have much meaning. They are just designed to improve people’s ability  to pronounce words. Although they may be very difficult, these exercises are very important to people who are trying to speak English correctly. This is because tongue twisters help people to tell the differences between similar sounds.
So if you wish to pronounce words more smoothly, you’d better try picking out some tongue twisters and practicing them.
小題1:Tongue twisters are helpful in improving ___________ skills.
A．listeningB．writingC．pronunciationD．communication
小題2:The first tongue twister is hard because ___________.
A．it is very boring to readB．it teaches us a lot of knowledge

In one way of thinking, failure is part of life. In       way, failure may be a way towards success. The “Spider-story” is often       .Robert Bruce , leader of the Scots in the 13 th century, was hiding in a cave from the English. He watched a spider       a web. The spider tried to reach across a rough        in the rock. He tried six times without success .On the        time he made it and went on to make his web. Bruce is said to have been encouraged by this and to have gone on to       the English . Edison , the inventor of the light bulb, made       models that failed before he found the right way to make one. Once he was asked         he kept on trying to make a new type of battery when he had failed so often, he replied, “Failure? I have         failure. Now I know 50,000 ways it won't        ”.
So what? First，always think about your failure. What caused       ？Were conditions right? Were you in top from yourself? What can you change? So things will go          next time.
Second, is the goal you're trying to reach the right one? Try to do some         about what your real goals may be. Think about this question. “If I do succeed in this, where will it get me?" This may help you prevent failure in things you shouldn't be doing any way.
The third thing to keep in        about failure is that it's a part of life. Learn to “l(fā)ive with yourself" even though you may have       ．
