As a boy, like all other boys, I wanted to be a man. But my parents did everything for me. Actually, they managed every minute of my life. Although they loved me, I felt a bit unhappy with them. "Zheng Chenyu, do your homework!" "Practise the piano!" "Turn off the TV!" I became so bored with their orders that I wished they would leave me alone.
Well, my wish came true! Although my parents were very worried about leaving me, they had to go away on business for a few days. Now was my chance! I could have some fun at last! As soon as I got home from school the first day, I happily threw my schoolbag on the sofa and ate lots of snacks. Then I enjoyed an exciting film on TV, and after that I played computer games. I liked the games so much that I played until midnight.
The next morning I woke up late. I had to hurry to school without breakfast, but I was still late. The teacher asked me for my homework, but I could not hand it in. With an empty stomach, I was unable to play basketball with my classmates! I felt tired and sleepy at school all day long.
When I got home, I tried to cook some rice, but I burnt it. I even dropped my father's cup when I was cooking! I found myself so bad at simple cooking tasks. I started to feel lonely. I wanted Mum and Dad to come home soon. Mum cooked such delicious food, and made sure I never forgot my homework. Dad always helped me with any difficult questions, and told funny jokes when I was unhappy. Then I realised being home alone was not always perfect.
When my parents came home, they were happy to find that I could cook and tidy up now. I told them my home alone story, and we all laughed.

Living alone for the first time can be an exciting but challenging experience. It is a chance to learn how to take care of yourself and become more independent. However, it also means you have to deal with all kinds of problems by yourself.
First of all, you need to learn to manage your time well. You have to get up early in the morning to go to school or work, and you have to finish your homework or tasks on time. You can't stay up late playing computer games or watching TV, or you will feel tired the next day.
Second, you should learn some basic life skills, such as cooking simple meals and doing housework. Cooking your own food is not only cheaper but also healthier than eating out. Doing housework can keep your home clean and tidy, which makes you feel comfortable.
Finally, you need to know how to keep safe when you are alone at home. You should always lock the door when you go out, and don't open the door for strangers. If you have any problems, you can call your parents or friends for help.
11. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. How to have fun when staying at home alone
B. The challenges and tips for living alone for the first time
C. The importance of listening to parents' orders
D. How to make friends when living alone
12. What does living alone mean according to the passage?
A. You can do everything you like without any rules
B. You have to deal with all problems by yourself
C. You don't need to go to school or work
D. You can stay up late every day
13. What should you do to manage your time well when living alone?

Many teenagers want to be independent and make their own decisions. They think their parents are too strict and don't understand them. However, parents always have more experience and want to protect their children from getting into trouble.
A recent survey shows that 68% of teenagers argue with their parents about daily things, such as homework, hobbies and bedtime. Most teenagers think they are old enough to look after themselves, but parents don't agree. They worry that their children can't manage their time well or make good decisions.
In fact, independence is not about doing everything by yourself. It is about taking responsibility for your own actions. For example, if you decide to play computer games instead of doing homework, you have to face the punishment from your teacher. If you choose to spend all your money on snacks, you will have no money to buy the books you need.
Communication is the best way to solve the problem between parents and teenagers. Teenagers should talk to their parents about their feelings and ideas. Parents should also listen to their children and try to understand them. Both sides should make compromises and find a balance between independence and protection.
16. What do many teenagers think of their parents?
A. Too strict and not understanding
B. Too kind and helpful
C. Too lazy and careless
D. Too busy and tired
17. What do 68% of teenagers argue with their parents about?
A. Money and clothes
B. Homework, hobbies and bedtime
C. Trips and parties
D. Food and drinks
18. What do parents worry about when their children want to be independent?
A. Their children will have too much fun
B. Their children will make too many friends
C. Their children can't manage time well or make good decisions
D. Their children will forget them
19. What does independence mean according to the passage?
A. Doing everything by yourself
B. Taking responsibility for your own actions
C. Arguing with parents about everything
D. Spending money as you like
20. What is the best way to solve the problem between parents and teenagers?
A. Arguing with each other
B. Not talking to each other
C. Communication
D. Leaving home alone

My Experience of Staying at Home Alone
Last month, my parents had to go on a business trip, so I stayed at home alone for three days.
At first, I was very excited because I thought I could do everything I liked. As soon as they left, I threw my schoolbag on the sofa and ate lots of snacks. I watched my favourite films and played computer games until late at night. However, the next morning, I woke up late and went to school without breakfast. I was late and couldn't hand in my homework. In the evening, I tried to cook noodles, but I burnt them. I felt tired and lonely. I missed my parents very much.
This experience taught me that being home alone is not just about having fun. It also means taking responsibility. I have learned to manage my time well and cook simple meals.
