Sometimes I really doubt whether there is true love between my parents. Every day they are very busy trying to earn money, In their opinion, “I love you” is too hard for them to say. Sending flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day is even more impossible. When my father is very tired from the hard work, it is difficult for him to control his bad moods.
One day, my mother was sewing a quilt (缝被子). I silently sat down beside her and I asked in a very low voice, “Is there true love between you and dad?” My mother stopped her work and raised her head with surprise in her eyes. However, she didn’t answer at once. She continued to sew the quilt.
I was very worried because I thought I had hurt her. I was in a great embarrassment and I didn’t know what I should do. But at last she said thoughtfully, “Susan, look at this thread (线). Sometimes it appears, but most of it disappears in the quilt. It really makes the quilt strong. If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can hardly be seen, but it’s really there. Love is inside.”
I couldn’t understand her until the next spring. My father got sick. After they were back from hospital, my mother helped my father walk slowly for two months. My father had never been so kind. But after two months he still couldn’t walk by himself. We were worried about him. “Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day. “Susan, don’t worry about me,” he said gently. “To tell you the truth, I could walk by myself after I was back from hospital, but I just like walking with your mom.

We have more or less trouble to face in our life. These things may give you too much stress (精神压力) which is bad for your development. What can you do to solve this kind of problem?
As a student, managing all the schoolwork and getting good grades are at the top of your stress list. You have a large amount of schoolwork to do every day. Although your scores are not terrible, you may still worry that you are not as high as you have expected. Why not make a daily or weekly plan in such a case? In this way, you can save more time to study and even avoid being too tired by taking some breaks. Don’t be too strict with yourself. Just do what you can do. If you meet something beyond (超越) your ability, just go to your teacher for help—pick his or her brain or make any questions you don’t understand clear.
Have you ever been anxious about not having many friends in school or not being in the same class with your best friends? Having a bad relationship (关系) with new classmates is also our common stress. It is important to choose your circle of friends. Don’t hide yourself in your own world and try to make friends when you participate in after-school activities. Make plans to meet your friends from other classes during break time. Know that everyone is different—do not compare yourself with others. You’ll be less stressed that way.
Unhealthy eating habits and lack (缺乏) of sleep can also lead to stress. You are what you eat. Make healthy food choices that you can enjoy. Set a certain time to go to bed every night. Don’t play computer or mobile games before you sleep. Do see a doctor if your sleeping problem continues.
The more successfully you deal with your stress, the better you will feel about yourself. Try out the above advice right away.
27. Which is the most stressful for a student according to the passage?
A Dealing with schoolwork and getting high scores.
B. Not getting along well with new classmates.

D. Poor eating habits and short of sleep.

B we should always solve study problems on our own
C. it’s good to be open and friendly in after-school activities
D. setting a time limit on using mobile phones is necessary
29. What is the passage mainly about?

B. Suggestions for making friends.
C. Ways of developing good habits.
D. Solutions to different stress in life.
D
Once there was a very popular song called Which Do you Prefer Crying or Smiling? It is common that people always think crying is a sign of sadness. But it is not always the truth. When babies are hungry, they will cry to show their feelings and get tasty food. Then babies feel like being on cloud nine and of course stop crying.
We also know that many people may think crying is a bad thing and it may be bad for their health. However, in fact, sometimes it is healthy to have some tears. According to the studies, some health problems have something to do with not crying enough. Sometimes people need to cry more because it helps them to get well.
Different cultures have different ideas about crying. The people in Indonesia think that crying—unless done by a person who has lost a close friend—is unhealthy and that it can cause health problems. In some other cultures, people usually cry together when they are afraid of something and in times of sadness.
People have been studying crying for a long time and here are two interesting studies about crying.
A study of 5,000 people in 35 countries made by Professor Ad Vingerhoets found that women usually cried between 30 and 64 times a year while men usually cried 6 to 17 times a year. Vingerhocts thinks that women’s higher prolactin levels (催乳素水平) may cause women to cry more. Prolactin levels are especially higher when women are having babies.
Besides that, according to another study, when 150 women were watching the film Steel Magnolias, scientists found 22 percent of them cried and the others didn’t. Those who cried felt more sadness for a long time. The study said crying can make people sadder, and it took people longer to get well.
Crying may make people feel better only if it helps with their problems. Studies show comfort from a friend does make people feel that crying is a good idea. So next time you don’t feel good, you can talk with your friend and cry out to make yourself feel better. Try to have a good cry!
30. The underlined words “feel like being on cloud nine” in Paragraph 1 are closest in meaning to “________.”
A. feel very great B. feel quite scared
C. feel really thankful D. feel truly tired
31. The people in Indonesia think________.
A. sometimes crying is good for people
B. people show their fear while crying
C. crying may cause some healthy problems
D. people should cry together when being afraid
32. Why does Professor Ad Vingerhocts talk about prolactin levels in his study?
A. To explain why women cry more.
B. To show how women have babies.
C. To introduce the reason for the study.
D. To stress the importance of the study.
33. The writer probably agrees that________.
A. most people prefer crying to smiling in daily life
B. people may cry more after watching a sad movie
C. one can stop crying quickly whenever he wants
D. people may feel better after having a good cry

Closing the Gap
Sometimes, kids don’t think their parents are fair to them. When you want to dress in a modern way, your mum won’t allow you to wear a mini-skirt. When you are making a phone call, they will ask who you’re speaking to. Those make teenagers unhappy even less patient. Sometimes it seems that you’re not as close to your parents as you used to be. How can you change such a situation?
Closing the Gap by the American writer Jay MeGraw gives advice on how to have a better relationship with your parents.
The book gives ways to help teenagers understand their parents. Both parents and children have needs. They need to feel they are important and loved. You should tell your parents your needs, and find out what their needs are. Maybe you can think of a way to make all of you happy. Jay also explains to parents how their teenagers wish to be treated and cared for. He shows teen show gaining power can come only from earning respect.
When you think “my parents don’t want me to have any fun”, it usually means your parents want you to be happy. The book gives you lots of ideas: you can make time to talk. To get your parents to know what you’re doing and what you want to do, you could talk about your school life now and your dreams for the future. It helps your parents know more about you. You can also keep a diary to help you understand more about yourself and your feelings. It’s necessary to show your parents you are growing up. Wash your own clothes and help around the house. Your parents will feel you are no longer a child. If you follow these steps, you will be able to break down the walls between you and your parents. Your home will be a happier place.

One day, my mother was sewing a quilt (缝被子). I silently sat down beside her and I asked in a very low voice, “Is there true love between you and dad?” My mother stopped her work and raised her head with surprise in her eyes. However, she didn’t answer at once. She continued to sew the quilt.
I was very worried because I thought I had hurt her. I was in a great embarrassment and I didn’t know what I should do. But at last she said thoughtfully, “Susan, look at this thread (线). Sometimes it appears, but most of it disappears in the quilt. It really makes the quilt strong. If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can hardly be seen, but it’s really there. Love is inside.”
I couldn’t understand her until the next spring. My father got sick. After they were back from hospital, my mother helped my father walk slowly for two months. My father had never been so kind. But after two months he still couldn’t walk by himself. We were worried about him. “Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day. “Susan, don’t worry about me,” he said gently. “To tell you the truth, I could walk by myself after I was back from hospital, but I just like walking with your mom. I like this kind of life,” Reading his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.

We have more or less trouble to face in our life. These things may give you too much stress (精神压力) which is bad for your development. What can you do to solve this kind of problem?
As a student, managing all the schoolwork and getting good grades are at the top of your stress list. You have a large amount of schoolwork to do every day. Although your scores are not terrible, you may still worry that you are not as high as you have expected. Why not make a daily or weekly plan in such a case? In this way, you can save more time to study and even avoid being too tired by taking some breaks. Don’t be too strict with yourself. Just do what you can do. If you meet something beyond (超越) your ability, just go to your teacher for help—pick his or her brain or make any questions you don’t understand clear.
Have you ever been anxious about not having many friends in school or not being in the same class with your best friends? Having a bad relationship (关系) with new classmates is also our common stress. It is important to choose your circle of friends. Don’t hide yourself in your own world and try to make friends when you participate in after-school activities. Make plans to meet your friends from other classes during break time. Know that everyone is different—do not compare yourself with others. You’ll be less stressed that way.
Unhealthy eating habits and lack (缺乏) of sleep can also lead to stress. You are what you eat. Make healthy food choices that you can enjoy. Set a certain time to go to bed every night. Don’t play computer or mobile games before you sleep. Do see a doctor if your sleeping problem continues.
The more successfully you deal with your stress, the better you will feel about yourself. Try out the above advice right away.

Once there was a very popular song called Which Do you Prefer, Crying or Smiling? It is common that people always think crying is a sign of sadness. But it is not always the truth. When babies are hungry, they will cry to show their feelings and get tasty food. Then babies feel like being on cloud nine and of course stop crying.
We also know that many people may think crying is a bad thing and it may be bad for their health. However, in fact, sometimes it is healthy to have some tears. According to the studies, some health problems have something to do with not crying enough. Sometimes people need to cry more because it helps them to get well.
Different cultures have different ideas about crying. The people in Indonesia think that crying—unless done by a person who has lost a close friend—is unhealthy and that it can cause health problems. In some other cultures, people usually cry together when they are afraid of something and in times of sadness.
People have been studying crying for a long time and here are two interesting studies about crying.
A study of 5,000 people in 35 countries made by Professor Ad Vingerhoets found that women usually cried between 30 and 64 times a year while men usually cried 6 to 17 times a year. Vingerhocts thinks that women’s higher prolactin levels (催乳素水平) may cause women to cry more. Prolactin levels are especially higher when women are having babies.
Besides that, according to another study, when 150 women were watching the film Steel Magnolias, scientists found 22 percent of them cried and the others didn’t. Those who cried felt more sadness for a long time. The study said crying can make people sadder, and it took people longer to get well.
Crying may make people feel better only if it helps with their problems. Studies show comfort from a friend does make people feel that crying is a good idea. So next time you don’t feel good, you can talk with your friend and cry out to make yourself feel better. Try to have a good cry!
30 The underlined words “feel like being on cloud nine” in Paragraph 1 are closest in meaning to “________.”
A. feel very great B. feel quite scared
C feel really thankful D. feel truly tired
31. The people in Indonesia think________.
A. sometimes crying is good for people
B. people show their fear while crying
C. crying may cause some healthy problems
D. people should cry together when being afraid
32. Why does Professor Ad Vingerhocts talk about prolactin levels in his study?
A. To explain why women cry more.
B. To show how women have babies.
C. To introduce the reason for the study.
D. To stress the importance of the study.
33. The writer probably agrees that________.
A. most people prefer crying to smiling in daily life
B. people may cry more after watching a sad movie
C. one can stop crying quickly whenever he wants
D. people may feel better after having a good cry
