Her classmate made up silly chants, “Betty, Betty, long as spaghetti (意大利面)!” Betty wasn’t in the cool kids’ group. Ella was a cool kid. She could play the guitar. Wherever Ella went, other kids followed her. They were the “cool kids”. Ella didn’t really like it when the kids said, “Betty, Betty, long as spaghetti!” But she never told them to stop either. She liked being popular. One weekend, Ella visited her grandfather. She saw one chicken there. It was smaller than the others and it didn’t have many feathers (羽毛). “That poor chicken, what’s the matter with it?” she asked her grandfather. Ella’s grandfather told her, “If one chicken is different, the others peck (啄) it. Sometimes they peck it so much that it dies.” Ella picked up the chicken. She could feel its heart beating fast in its little body. “I want to take it home,” she said. Ella told the cool kids about the chicken, “It’s looking healthier. It’s fatter and its feathers are growing.” Then Ella saw Betty sitting by herself. “I'm going to talk to Betty,” she said. “Betty, Betty, long as spaghetti?” a kid said. “Why her?” But Ella didn’t answer. Ella found out that Betty could play the drums. “I can play the guitar,” Ella said. “We should start a band.” “That would be amazing!” said Betty. “What should we call it?” “Chicken Beat,” said Ella. “We’ll call it Chicken Beat.” Chicken Beat was a fantastic band. All the kids wanted to be in it. “You have to ask Betty,” said Ella. “She’s the band leader (队长).” Betty let everyone join and no one made up silly chants anymore. They were too busy making up songs.

The journey is around 8,000 miles and is expected to take him over two years to complete. In 2010, the 31-year-old Matt Green walked across the United States from Rockaway Beach, Queens to Rockaway Beach, Ore. The journey took five months, during which he walked about 20 miles a day. The plan then took a break from the work force. So Mr. Green spent the next year and a half working small jobs while he chose where to walk next. Finally, at noon on December 31, he started from Staten Island with a new idea in his mind: to walk every street in every borough of New York City. New York is a city of walkers. Many people have walked every street in Manhattan. The historian John McNamara, who died in 2004, walked every street in the Bronx. But Mr. Green believes he is the first to try for every block in all five boroughs—a journey of about 8,000 miles. He thinks that the plan will take him more than two years of full-time walking to complete. “This walk is a way of understanding a place on its own terms instead of taking someone else’s word for it,” Mr. Green said. 1．How long will it take to complete Matt Green’s new journey?

In 1993, he happened to watch professionals (专业人士) from Beijing performing Beijing Opera in London. Ghaffar fell in love with their beautiful voices, colorful clothes and excellent shows. So after one year, he arrived in China and became a student of Beijing Opera at a school in Beijing. At the age of 32, he had to learn with children every day. For him, it was difficult to learn the dialogue (对话) in Beijing Opera and it was even his biggest obstacle. But he never gave up.

Sometimes they have problems with their schoolwork, and sometimes with their friends. What can they do about this? Some people believe the worst 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 lost 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 kept thinking, “If I tell my parents, they’ll be angry!” In the end, she talked to her parents and they were really understanding. Her dad said he sometimes made careless mistakes himself. They got her a new wallet and asked her to be more careful. “I will always remember to share my problems in the future!” Laura says. Robert Hunt advises students about common problems. He feels 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 himself. Students often forget that their parents have more experience, and are always there to help them. In English, we say that sharing a problem is like cutting it in half. So you’re halfway to solving a problem just by talking to someone about it! 1．According to the passage students are sometimes ________? A．worried. B．lonely. C．excited. D．proud. 2．How far is it from Laura’s house to her school? A．Ten miles B．Three miles C．Two miles D．Five miles 3．Why didn’t Laura tell her parents about her losing her wallet?

C．If students have problems, they should talk to people they trust. D．If students have problems, they should talk to an expert. Passage 10 Once upon a time, the colors in the world started to argue (争论). All thought they were the most important and useful. Green said, “I’m the symbol of life and hope. I was chosen for grass, trees and leaves. Look around and you will see me everywhere.” Blue followed, “You only consider (考虑) the earth, but look at the sky and the sea.” Yellow smiled, “I bring hope and warmth to the world. Look at the color of the sun and the moon.” Orange continued, “I’m the color of joy. My beauty is so fantastic that no one can think of any of you at sunrise or sunset.” Red shouted out, “I’m the color of life and love. Nobody can take my place.” Purple stood up, “I’m the color of power. People never question me!

Yet all of you just need them.” Suddenly, the sky became dark and rain started to pour down. The colors all gathered (聚集) in fear. Rain began to speak, “Join hands and come to me.” The colors did as they were told. Rain added, “Don’t you know you each are made for a certain purpose (意图)?

Passage 12 One night at 1:00 a.m. , when Sarah got up for some water, she saw a bright light in her next-door neighbor’s kitchen.

Passage 13 I ran into the forest to my favorite place and sat down on my special stone (石头). I knew no one could find me. At last I had peace and quiet. I lifted my guitar and began to play. “Hi, Desha!” Surprised, I found my brother James standing behind me. “Don’t you have a basketball game to watch?” I asked. “The game was almost over when I found you weren’t there. I thought you might like some company (陪伴). “Company is the last thing I want. Can’t I have a little peace and quiet?” James studied me for a minute. “It’s hard having such a big family, isn’t it?” “Eliza’s always prying into my personal life.

We used to (曾经) talk about everything—sports, school, friends. Although sometimes it seemed crowded, it was comforting to have someone else there.” “Yeah, ‘crowded’ is right!” I said. “I know,” James said. “But there are some good things that come out of it—we share memories and jokes no one else understands, and we can support one another in the face of difficulties.” I sighed. “Didn’t Sara stay up half the night with you last week helping you with your homework?” James asked. I admitted (承认) unwillingly, “Yeah, sometimes she is all right.” “This place can be your ‘room’. Anytime you need peace and quiet, just come here.” James said, pointing at a stone.

For many parents, getting their children to do some housework is also one big headache. However, a Malaysian mother found a creative way. Nurafiza came up with a reward system (奖励制度) for her two sons at home and posted it online. She made a list of housework and gave them money for what they did. The list of housework included cleaning up the house and putting away their toys for RM50 each, studying for RM150, and even not fighting with each other for RM10 to 15. She opened a “mini shop” at home for her kids. They could buy candies at her mini market from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. The money she gave to her kids was a kind of prop (道具). Because of the system, Nurafiza’s children are now more willing (愿意) to do housework. Her post has got over 15,000 likes and has been shared over 27,000 times online. Many parents have begun to imitate her. They use the same way to teach their children. In fact, doing housework can play a very important role in children’s growth. First, it teaches children necessary skills for living, such as cooking and cleaning. Second, it is a good way to help children keep healthy. Third, it creates possibilities (可能) for parents and children to be closer.

Passage 4 Friends, the year 2050 is about 25 years away from today, and today every person wants to know about our future. Although no one knows what is going to happen, we can predict that. By 2050, there will be at least 9 billion people in the world. And about 75% of the world’s people will be living in cities. Then there will be buildings touching the sky. Roads will be up to several floors. In the future, we will be using more technology devices (设备) than we do today, and computers will be many times faster than today. Self-flying cars will come in 2050, so there won’t be so many cars on the road. And self-driving cars will come, too. Now, self-driving trains are running in many rich countries. In this way, in the future, self-driving cars can make their place in some rich areas. What’s more, by 2050, 50% of jobs will also be lost because robots will be doing most of the work at that time. In 2050, people would like to spend their holidays on the Moon and Mars (火星), not in foreign countries. At that time, the Moon and Mars will be just like the Earth, with trees and plants. About this, NASA and many space companies (公司) are working on it. ________ Children will not have heavy bags on their backs. They will have computers in their hands.

A．a food magazine B．a radio program C．a TV show Passage 7 Earlier, only face-to-face communication was possible, but with the development of technology, we now have the phone, email, video calls and so on. It has become easier and much cheaper to communicate or have a conversation. We can easily communicate with our loved ones, whether they’re close or far away. Face-to-face communication includes direct personal interaction (互动). Both parties can see each other’s body language and facial expressions, and understand them easily, leading to more effective communication. A study has shown that in our day-to-day life when we interact with someone face to face, we have a nonverbal (非言语的) communication of about 93%. In addition, face-to-face communication is more effective in building trust and making deeper connections. But considering the long distance and time cost, face-to-face communication may not be the best choice. So there, telephone, email, etc. are preferred. Without telephone conversation, some work may be difficult to get done in time. The conversation changes depending on what relationship you have with the caller. For example, it will be informal (非正式的) if you talk to your close friends or relatives. But if you are having a professional telephone conversation, then it will be formal. You must have a lot of practice and confidence to interact with the caller. Telephone conversations have no nonverbal cues (暗示), but they offer the convenience of communicating from a distance and at any time. Also, as they cannot see each other, both parties can speak without being under pressure (压力). So, which do you prefer? 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．According to Paragraph 1, what makes communication easier and cheaper? A．The growth of population. B．The improvement of education. C．The development of technology. D．The increase of population. 2．What leads to more effective communication in face-to-face communication? A．Direct personal interaction. B．Nonverbal cues. C．Formal talks. D．Chatting online. 3．What are the advantages of face-to-face communication? ①Building trust.  ②Making deeper connections.   ③Interacting directly. ④Communicating from a distance. A．①②④ B．①②③ C．②③④ D．①③④ 4．Why can both parties speak without being under pressure in telephone conversations? A．Because they are having a professional telephone conversation. B．Because they can see each other’s body language and facial expressions. C．Because they can interact face to face. D．Because they cannot see each other. 5．What’s the best title of the text? A．The power of face-to-face communication B．The strength of telephone communication C．The development of education D．Communication choices: face-to-face vs telephone Passage 8 Now satellites are helping to forecast (预报) the weather. They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere (大气), because this is where the weather forms. They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the meteorologists can often say how the weather will change. Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this. So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the meteorologists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead. 1．Why can the meteorologists tell us how the weather will change? A．Because they are able to guess the weather. B．Because they study the pictures sent by satellites. C．Because they observe the clouds in the sky. D．Because they study the change of the wind. 2．The satellites can ________. A．often say how the weather will change B．forecast the weather for 24 or 48 hours C．receive pictures from sixty countries D．reach any part of the world 3．What does the underlined word “meteorologists” mean in Chinese? A．气象学家 B．气象播音员 C．电脑工程师 D．天文学家 4．The meteorologists can forecast the weather for ________ so far. A．one to two days B．three to five days C．over a week D．more than a month 5．What’s the best title for this passage? A．Weather Change B．Weather Forecasting C．The Weathermen D．Weather Satellites Passage 9 As the weather gets cold, we all have our ways to keep warm. We wear warm clothes and, of course, eat some special foods. For me, a bowl of hot chicken noodles or tomato soup is the best dish for a cold winter’s evening at Grandma’s house in the US. Certainly, different countries and cities around the world have their special cold-weather foods. I now live in a Chinese city. There are some foods or drinks in the wintertime. I quite like them. ①________ Persimmons are a kind of fruit. They are orange-red in color and look like tomatoes. But they are sweeter than tomatoes. People can eat persimmons fresh or dry them to make persimmon cookies (柿饼). And as persimmons are sweet, you can also put them in other foods like porridge. ②________ Another food I like is the white radish, or bailuobo in Chinese. This vegetable looks common, but it is useful. People use it to make soups, cakes, and more. In the city I live in, there is a traditional food called youdunzi. People mix white radish with other things and then fry (油炸) them to make this dish. ③________ Something I like best in the wintertime isn’t food but a drink: Pu’er tea. While green tea is more popular in China in the summer, Pu’er tea is a favorite of many people in the winter. Workers need to follow some complicated processes (复杂的步骤) to make the tea. It has a great taste. 1．What can we know about the writer from the second paragraph? A．He is in China now. B．He lives with his grandma now. C．He really loves chicken noodles. D．He can cook the best dish in his city. 2．How many ways to eat persimmons does the writer talk about in the passage? A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four. 3．What’s the writer’s favorite in the winter? A．Persimmons. B．Chicken soup. C．White radishes. D．Pu’er tea. 4．What does the underlined word “It” in the last paragraph refer to? A．Tomato soup. B．Pu’er tea. C．Green tea. D．The porridge. 5．Match the title with each part. a. Hot pot        b. Persimmon        c. White radish        d. Pu’er tea        e. Roast duck. A．①-e ②-d ③-c B．①-d ②-e ③-b C．①-c ②-d ③-a D．①-b ②-c ③-d Passage 10 There is a special “vegetable basket bus line” in Wuhan, Hubei Province. It helps farmers travel between villages and city areas. At 5:30 am, there are many passengers around Tuditang Street South Station along the J202 bus line. They carry all kinds of fresh fruits and vegetables. After the bus arrives, the driver helps the farmers put their fruits and vegetables on the bus. Half an hour later, they reach a station close to the largest farmers’ market. Their fresh vegetables can fetch a good price at the morning market. The bus line passes the most remote counties (偏远的县) in southern Wuhan. The old people along the way grow vegetables at home, and often bring them to the market to sell. But vegetable baskets take up a lot of space (空间), and other passengers have no room to stand. So there are often fights between them. In May last year, the bus changed its first departure time (始发时间) from 6 am to 5:10 am. This solved the problem. The line runs from May 1st to September 30th every year. Since its opening in 2020, it has become the most convenient means of travel for people living in about 30 nearby villages. It covers 42 kilometers with 60 stations. More than 100 farmers take the “vegetable basket bus line” every day. People aged 65 or older can take buses for free. Younger passengers may pay as much as 5 yuan to ride, and it depends on how far they are travelling. 1．The“vegetable basket bus line” is opened for ________. A．workers B．farmers C．the old D．children 2．Why did the bus change its first departure time from 6 am to 5:10 am? A．To cover more kilometers. B．To attract more passengers. C．To solve fights over space. D．To run longer hours each day. 3．The “vegetable basket bus line” covers ______ kilometers. A．30 B．42 C．60 D．202 4．What can we know about the passengers aged 65 or older? A．They pay 5 yuan for each ride. B．They can take the bus for free. C．They sell vegetables at the market. D．They travel to remote counties. 5．What’s the passage mainly about? A．A special bus line for farmers. B．Farmers in Wuhan. C．The largest market in Wuhan. D．A free bus line for the old. Passage 11 World Water Day is on March 22nd each year. It started in 1993 after a UN meeting about the environment. The UN shares reports about water around this day and has different themes every year to help people know and find ways to solve water problems. Clean water is quite important for drinking, staying clean, and being in good health. Sadly, many kids die every day because they don’t have safe (安全的) water. The UN says lots of people still don’t have it at home, especially in the countryside and places with wars or changing weather. Many people, often women and kids, have to spend lots of time walking far to get water if there is no clean water around. This takes time away from their work, school, and home tasks. Water is getting less and less, and by 2030, many people might have to move because there’s not enough water. Some groups are helping bring clean water worldwide. We can also help by playing a part in saving the water resource (资源), and being serious about our water use. And we need to use water smartly, especially in our daily lives. Recycling wastewater, catching rain and planting trees can help save water. Sharing World Water Day on the Internet to ask for more understanding is helpful, too. 1．When did the World Water Day start? A．In 1993. B．In 2003. C．In 1930. D．In 2030. 2．What do people have to do if there is no clean water nearby? A．They have to wait to die. B．They have to stay at home all day. C．They have to stop working. D．They have to walk far to get water. 3．What does the writer want to tell us in Paragraph 4? A．Things we can do to help. B．Results of water pollution. C．Reasons for saving water. D．Problems of less and less water. 4．What might happen by 2030 if water continues to decrease (减少)? A．People might be able to get more water. B．More people might move because of not enough water. C．People will find ways to create water. D．People will drink less water. 5．In which part of a magazine can you probably read this passage? A．Sports. B．History. C．Nature. D．Art. Passage 12 ①The Asian Games is an important sports event in Asia. It takes place every four years. Hangzhou hosted the 19th Asian Games in 2023. It is the third time that China has hosted an Asian event, following Beijing in 1990 and Guangzhou in 2010. The Hangzhou Asian Games are very “smart” because of many new technologies (技术). ②The Small Lotus is the venue (场馆) for the tennis finals. On the top of the venue, there are eight “petals” (花瓣). They can open and close freely. It takes 15 minutes for each petal to open and close. Whether to open or close the petals depends on the weather. ③How to keep the food safe? The system (系统) in the kitchen of the players’ village can tell people’s faces. If a stranger goes into the kitchen, an alarm will ring. The manager of the kitchen will also get the message on the phone. There’s also a system to keep an eye on the temperature of the fridges. ④Get lost in the street? Don’t worry. A mini program called the Hangzhou Asian Games AR service can help you. You just need to turn on the camera of your phone, it will see where you are and show you the way. ⑤“We have had the most successful Asian Games in history.” said Chen Weiqiang from the organizing committee. “It’s also an important chance for the city to take off.” he added. 1．Guangzhou held the ________ Asian Games according to the passage.

D．the AR service in Hangzhou Asian Games. 5．What’s the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． Passage 13 The food chains shows the order in which living things choose each other for food. What is it and how does it work? Here are some facts about food chain. All living things need food to survive. Many animals eat plants. Animals can also eat other kinds of animals. Animals that eat other animals are predators (捕食者). Eating food gives animals energy (能量) and helps them stay healthy. Food helps animals grow bigger and stronger. If they eat well, animals can live long lives. Many plants and animals are linked (联系) together in food chains. A food chain is a group of plants and animals that get energy from each other. Let’s look at how one forest food chain works. An ant eats part of a plant. A frog is the ant’s predator. The frog eats the ant. However, the frog has a predator, too. There is a snake waiting to eat the frog. What will eat the snake? An eagle is flying in the sky and looking for food. It sees the snake and dives (俯冲) down to catch it, so the eagle is the top predator. If you know these facts about food chain, you may understand how important it is for all the living things. 1．What does the underlined word “survive” mean? A．Organize. B．Live. C．Experience. D．Decide. 2．What can we learn from Paragraph 2? A．How food helps animals. B．How animals like plants. C．How animals help each other.

(P=Paragraph) A． B． C． D． 5．What’s the best title for the text? A．Food Chain Facts B．Links Between Animals C．Animals in Food Chain D．Living Things in Forests Passage 14 In the past, people read the news in newspapers or magazines, listened to it on the radio or watched it on television. These days, social media (社交媒体) like Instagram, TikTok or YouTube has become a new way for people to know what’s going on around the world. A report pointed out that the number of people in the UK watching news on TikTok in 2023 is 4.9 million, up from 900, 000 in 2020. It’s also reported that 29% of UK children use Instagram to look for news. For most people, it’s a popular way to follow news on social media every day. Stories are everywhere if people open an app. Also, people can read news in a friendly way, such as a quick video on TikTok. People can get information easily by social media. It even pays attention to news going on all over the world. However, some people think that news on social media isn’t true. The official press (报社) check the information before they put up news online, but other people might not do this. So we can’t always trust everything on it. Studies show that people in the UK spent 108 minute$专题09 阅读理解3大常考题型 题型1 应用文 题型2 记叙文 题型3 说明文 1 / 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 题型1 应用文 Passage 1 Here is a list (清单) of the television programs on CCTV International.

She didn’t like being tall, either. Her classmate made up silly chants, “Betty, Betty, long as spaghetti (意大利面)!” Betty wasn’t in the cool kids’ group. Ella was a cool kid. She could play the guitar. Wherever Ella went, other kids followed her. They were the “cool kids”. Ella didn’t really like it when the kids said, “Betty, Betty, long as spaghetti!” But she never told them to stop either. She liked being popular. One weekend, Ella visited her grandfather. She saw one chicken there. It was smaller than the others and it didn’t have many feathers (羽毛). “That poor chicken, what’s the matter with it?” she asked her grandfather. Ella’s grandfather told her, “If one chicken is different, the others peck (啄) it. Sometimes they peck it so much that it dies.” Ella picked up the chicken. She could feel its heart beating fast in its little body. “I want to take it home,” she said. Ella told the cool kids about the chicken, “It’s looking healthier. It’s fatter and its feathers are growing.” Then Ella saw Betty sitting by herself. “I'm going to talk to Betty,” she said. “Betty, Betty, long as spaghetti?” a kid said. “Why her?” But Ella didn’t answer. Ella found out that Betty could play the drums. “I can play the guitar,” Ella said. “We should start a band.” “That would be amazing!” said Betty. “What should we call it?” “Chicken Beat,” said Ella. “We’ll call it Chicken Beat.” Chicken Beat was a fantastic band. All the kids wanted to be in it. “You have to ask Betty,” said Ella. “She’s the band leader (队长).” Betty let everyone join and no one made up silly chants anymore. They were too busy making up songs. The band was so good that it won a competition. The kids all said it was Betty’s amazing drumming that helped them win. Betty decided that it would be too hard to change her name.

The journey is around 8,000 miles and is expected to take him over two years to complete. In 2010, the 31-year-old Matt Green walked across the United States from Rockaway Beach, Queens to Rockaway Beach, Ore. The journey took five months, during which he walked about 20 miles a day. The plan then took a break from the work force. So Mr. Green spent the next year and a half working small jobs while he chose where to walk next. Finally, at noon on December 31, he started from Staten Island with a new idea in his mind: to walk every street in every borough of New York City. New York is a city of walkers. Many people have walked every street in Manhattan. The historian John McNamara, who died in 2004, walked every street in the Bronx. But Mr. Green believes he is the first to try for every block in all five boroughs—a journey of about 8,000 miles. He thinks that the plan will take him more than two years of full-time walking to complete. “This walk is a way of understanding a place on its own terms instead of taking someone else’s word for it,” Mr. Green said. 1．How long will it take to complete Matt Green’s new journey? A．Half a year. B．More than 1 year. C．More than 2 years. D．3 years. 2．How old is Matt Green in 2014? A．35. B．36. C．37. D．38. 3．Mr. Green stopped during his journey of walking across the US ________.

So Mr. Green spent the next year and a half working small jobs while he chose where to walk next.”可知，Matt Green在徒步穿越美国的旅程中停了下来是因为他暂时没有工作，需要做一些小工作来维持生计，同时选择下一步要走的路线。故选A。 4．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The historian John McNamara,who died in 2004, walked every street in the Bronx. But Mr. Green believes he is the first to try for every block in all five boroughs—a journey of about 8,000 miles.”可知，Bronx是纽约市的一个行政区。故选D。 5．推理判断题。文章主要介绍了Matt Green的徒步计划和经历，没有虚构的情节，也没有明显的广告或日记特征，更符合新闻报道的风格，因此这篇文章可能是一篇新闻报道。故选B。 Passage 6 请阅读下面短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出一个最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 At the newest Shenzhen Marathon (马拉松), 45-year-old Luo Shujian crossed the finish line pushing a special cart (运货马车) in which his 13-year-old son Xiaobai with cerebral palsy (脑瘫) was sitting.

Sometimes they have problems with their schoolwork, and sometimes with their friends. What can they do about this? Some people believe the worst 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 lost 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 kept thinking, “If I tell my parents, they’ll be angry!” In the end, she talked to her parents and they were really understanding. Her dad said he sometimes made careless mistakes himself. They got her a new wallet and asked her to be more careful. “I will always remember to share my problems in the future!” Laura says. Robert Hunt advises students about common problems. He feels 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 himself. Students often forget that their parents have more experience, and are always there to help them. In English, we say that sharing a problem is like cutting it in half. So you’re halfway to solving a problem just by talking to someone about it! 1．According to the passage students are sometimes ________? A．worried. B．lonely. C．excited.

I lifted my guitar and began to play. “Hi, Desha!” Surprised, I found my brother James standing behind me. “Don’t you have a basketball game to watch?” I asked. “The game was almost over when I found you weren’t there.

Can’t I have a little peace and quiet?” James studied me for a minute. “It’s hard having such a big family, isn’t it?” “Eliza’s always prying into my personal life. Yesterday I found her looking through my diary. Now everyone is in the living room watching the game. All I wanted to do was to watch a movie. But when I went to my room, Sara was there listening to the radio. I just want to be alone for a change.” James sighed (叹气) and said, “I felt the same way when I was your age. But now...” “Now you have your own room. After Daniel went off to college, you didn’t have to share the room.” James smiled. “It is great to have my own room, but sometimes I really miss Daniel.

I admitted (承认) unwillingly, “Yeah, sometimes she is all right.” “This place can be your ‘room’. Anytime you need peace and quiet, just come here.” James said, pointing at a stone.
