Unit 2 Growing pains and gains Presenting ideas 同步习题 一、阅读理解 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Most kids feel excited and proud to become junior high school students. But for Ge Shuai, a junior 1 student in Yangzhou, the happiness of growing up also comes with pain. He and his best friend are now in different classes. Ge is not the only kid who feels this growing pain. To save the children from being lonely when friends are away, there are new rules in many schools in London to stop students from having a single best friend. Teachers encourage them to play in large groups. Having only one best friend has some problems. If you have a best friend, you may not go out with other people who could become your friends one day. You may not have a chance to meet other people because you and your best friend are always together. It can make your world very small. However, Gaynor Sbuttoni, a doctor in London, doesn't think the no-best-friend policy is a good idea. She thinks it is natural for children to want a best friend and that schools should not stop their friendships. “If they break up, they have to feel the pain because then they're learning to do with it. As parents, we're all trying to stop our children feeling pain, but what we should be doing is helping them face it and find ways to work it out, rather than trying to take it away,” she said. ( ) 1. What do we know about Ge Shuai? A. Ge is a Grade 2 student in a junior high school. B. Ge is the only kid who feels this growing pain. C. Ge and his best friend are not in the same class now. D.
