第一节 （共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分）

根据短文内容，判断正误（正确“T”，错误“F”），并将所选答案涂到答题卡的相应位置上。

As we all know, changes are all around us. Whether it is the change of seasons from summer to autumn, or it may even be a change of friendships or schools if you move house or are going to high school in the future.

Changes affect everybody, but we don’t all experience or feel changes in the same way. Some people are as “cool as a cucumber (黄瓜)” and nothing worries them even if the changes are pretty big. Other people can be as “jumpy as a kangaroo (袋鼠)” and can be affected by even the smallest changes.

So, what can you do if you are faced with some changes, and you’re not sure what to do?

Well, it’s important to know that young people are not always ready to deal with changes. That’s because young people’s brains are still growing. Your brain affects your thoughts, big decisions and feelings.

It’s also important for kids to know that it is OK to ask for help from an adult they trust. That may be a parent or grandparent, aunt or uncle, teacher, neighbor or even an older brother or sister.

Changes can sometimes be hard or make you feel worried, but you don’t have to face them alone.

21. Everyone may experience or feel changes in the same way.

22. Some people can be affected by the small changes.

23. Young people aren’t always ready to deal with changes because their brains are still growing.

24. If you face changes, you can ask a trusted adult for help.

25. The text mainly introduces many different kinds of changes.
