I always feel sorry for world leaders busy dealing with fights between nations．When my three children were young, most days it was hard keeping my house from becoming a battlefield．

    It got worse as they grew older．Three years ago, Zack, then 16,couldn't make it through a day without making his sisters, Alex 11 and Taryn 9, angry．

    My husband and I tried to be understanding the boy at such an age．We reasoned, punished, and left heartfelt notes on his bed about how he was hurting our family．His answer was "I' say it because it's true．"

     I even tried telling the girls to fight back． Bad idea, Now I had three children at war．Whatever I said to them, they paid no attention．When there was no way out, I told everything to my sister in an e-mail． She replied, "Don't e-mail me．E-mail him．"

    Our son was online every day, mailing and talking-with his friends．Maybe he would actually hear me this way．I didn't say anything different, but e-mail just took the tension away．There'd be no shouting or door banging．Zack wouldn't feel under attack．

    Zack didn't reply for days．When he finally did, his entire message was four small words． I smiled when I read them, "You're right．I'm sorry．"

    The children still fought, of course, but Zack changed．Best of all, I now have a better way to talk with not one but three of them, I like it that they don't tune me out as much as they used to．

     They like not having to listen to me shouting to them or as Alex says, "You're so much nicer online．"

    All I know is that the house is quiet．But we're talking．

1．What was the trouble before the online talk in the family?

     A．The writer failed to understand her daughters．

     B．The children couldn't get along peacefully．

     C．The family found it difficult to keep the house clean．

     D．The parents were not willing to talk with their children．

2．The writer once tried to deal with her son's problem by__________

      A．talking with him about his pain

      B．telling him about the truth of the family

      C．telling her daughters to keep away from him

      D．encouraging her daughters to fight against him

3．The writer e-mailed her sister______

      A．to tell her about the family problem          B．hoping she'd e-mail the boy

      C．a(chǎn)sking about child-raising                  D to reduce the tension

4．The underlined phrase "tune me out" in the passage probably means “________” ．

      A．quarrel with me                          B．get angry with me

      C．pay no attention to me                      D．keep me out of their rooms

閱讀下列短文及相關(guān)信息，并按照要求匹配信息：

A. When I take notes I always rewrite them. I also add things as I go, especially from the readings that I feel are important. This helps me remember things better and as I look things up in the text and add notes, it brings a deeper understanding of the material.

B. When I have to learn a new word, I write down the word and its meaning in the back of my notebook. Then I make sure to use the word at least 7 times in the next week. I put a check next to the word each time I use it to be sure. This way I can remember that word better.

C. I sit in the front of the classroom. That way there are no distractions between me and the teacher. The further back you sit, the more kids there are in front of you who can distract you.

D. I watch my teachers carefully for clues about what’s most important. Some start moving around a lot, some raise their voice, and some start moving their hands about. When this happens, I write down what they’re saying in my notebook.

E. Here are some tips on how to create a good study environment: Find a place to study and keep it for study only. Tool-up the environment with all study needs. Control the noise level at acceptable levels. Avoid relaxing while working.

F. When I work on math problems, I write each step as I do it. This makes me think carefully about what I am doing. If the answer doesn’t seem right, I can go back through the steps I wrote to see where I went wrong.

閱讀下列學(xué)習(xí)方面的問題，并與上面的經(jīng)驗相匹配。

51. I love learning new words, but I’m confused about how to remember them well. Whenever I meet a new word, I look it up in the dictionary for its meaning and write it down. However, a few days later, I’ll forget what the word means. It’s really a headache.

52. I can’t concentrate on what the teacher says in class. I sit at the back of the classroom. What the students in the front row do always attracts my attention. I’m wondering if anyone else has the same problem.

53.  It’s impossible to write down everything the teacher says in my notebook. I have been told to take down the important points, but how can I tell which points are important?

54. I take good notes in class. I’m curious to know how to make good use of these notes to improve my understanding. I’m often confused about how to deal with the notes.

55. I enjoy studying at home at night or over the weekend. But sometimes I just can’t focus. I think it’s the study environment that makes me not feel like studying. Who can tell me how to improve the study environment?

Health is the most important thing in the world. Nothing is more important than health. If one takes away our money, houses, cars, or even our clothes, we can still survive. 1.  That is why we always try to eat in a healthy way and exercise regularly.

How can we keep healthy? In order to eat healthily, I usually avoid eating food high in fat, like French fries or cookies, which are junk foods. 2. Besides, I only eat little meat.

3.  Taking exercise every day helps us build a strong body. Regular exercise is an important part of keeping me healthy.

What’s more, I think friends are an important part of one’s health. 4.  I always feel better when I am with friends than when I am alone. When I am with my friends, I always laugh. Laughing is also an important part of health. It is good to stay with my friends.

By eating properly and exercising regularly, I can keep my body at a proper weight and keep healthy. By spending time with my friends, I can keep my mind as well as my body happy. These things sound easy to do, but not many people can manage them. 5.
