If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don’t worry about it. Here is some advice for you. Don’t argue with your parents. Don’t try to talk about something with your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won’t listen to you if you are shouting at them. Go somewhere else to cool off. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you think you can’t speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter to them. Try to understand your parents. Your parents may think differently from you. Tell your parents what you think, what you care about and why. Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. Put yourself in their shoes and you may find a better way out. Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a motorcycle (摩托车). They argued over it. But they finally came to an agreement. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days. It is also important to show your love to your parents. Try to do some small things at home, like making them a cup of tea, helping do some chores, and so on. It helps to keep your relationship closer. A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try. 59. The passage mainly talks about the communication problem between ________.

Sometimes they make trouble, but sometimes they can help us. And they hope to live a happy life, too. Years ago, my friend Julius saved a bird—a wild ‘Mom’ cockatoo(鹦鹉) from the side of the road and kept it as a pet in a big cage(笼子). It lost one of her wings, so she was unable to return to the wild. Soon, two wild cockatoos came visiting and one ‘Dad’ bird wanted to find his way into the cage. The ‘Mom’ cockatoo in the cage was soon expecting. But as she couldn’t fly, ‘Dad’ cockatoo built a home in the tree, keeping off everyone who got close to ‘Mom’ cockatoo. ‘Baby’ cockatoo would spend his days flying off with his dad, leaving his mom behind. She would sit and wait until they returned home each afternoon.The family stayed together happily.

Sports change with seasons. People play different games in winter and summer. Games and sports often grow out of people’s work and everyday activities. The Arabs (阿拉伯人) use horses or camels in much of their everyday life; they use them in their sports, too. Some sports are so interesting that people everywhere go in for them. Football for example, has spread around the world. Swimming is popular in all countries near the sea or in those with many rivers. Some sports or games go back thousands of years, like running or jumping. Chinese boxing, for example, has a very long history. But basketball and volleyball are rather new. Neither one is a hundred years yet. People are inventing new sports or games all the time. People from different countries may not understand each other, but after a game they often become good friends. Sports help to train a person’s character. One learns to fight hard but fight fair, to win without pride and to lose with grace (文雅). 66. According to this passage we know that ________.

Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim (受害者) or I can choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to be sad or I can look at the happy side of life. I choose the happy side of life.” “Yeah, right.

He was a kind, gentle and polite man, but children laughed at him because of the way he looked. When Leo was a child, he had an illness and that left many deep scars on his face. So, when the children saw him in town, they would make fun of him. Leo was not upset, because he understood they were only children. One day, three boys found a small boat. They decided to get in the boat and go out to sea. They were having a lot of fun until they were very far from the beach. They tried to get back, but they were not able to. After an hour or so, the boys started to be afraid. Soon it would be dark and their parents would get worried. The boys thought they would be lost at sea! After several hours, it was very dark and the boys could see nothing but the sea, the stars and some lights far away. Then, they saw something coming towards them.
