Luckily, she met her good teacher, Miss Sullivan at the age of seven. Helen was getting happier every day. Then, Miss Sullivan helped her learn how to write English words. At first. Miss Sullivan wrote some words on Helen’s hands with her fingers (手指) again and again. Helen was a very hard-working girl. She tried her best to remember words. After that, she wrote many famous works. The Story of My Life is one of them. The Story of My Life tells us how she became a great writer of the world.

What can they do about this? Some people believe the 62 thing is to do nothing. Laura Mills, a teenager from London, agrees. “Problems and worries are normal in life,” says Laura. “But I think talking to someone helps a lot. Unless we talk to someone, we’ll certainly feel worse.” Laura once 63 her wallet, and worried for days. She was afraid to tell her parents about it. She even walked three miles to school each day because she didn’t have any money. She just 64 thinking, “If I tell my parents, they’ll be angry!” In the end, she talked to her parents and they were really 65 . Her dad said he sometimes made careless 66 himself. They got her a new wallet and asked her to be more 67 “I will always remember to share my problems in the future!” Laura says. Robert Hunt advises students about common problems. He 68 the same way as Laura. “It is best not to run away from our problems. We should always try to solve them.” He thinks the first step is to find someone you trust to talk to. This person doesn’t need to be an expert like 69 . Students often forget that their parents have more experience than them and are always there to help them. In English, we say that sharing a problem is like 70 it in half. So you’re halfway to solving a problem just by talking to someone about it! 五、短文填空 (共 10 分) 阅读下面的短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或用括号内单词的正确形式填空。 Besides studying and tests, students need to learn some life skills (技能) for the future.
