If I hold it for a day, I will have to see a doctor. It is the exact same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes. This book represents stress. If you hold it without putting it down, sooner or later, you will not be able to keep on. No matter how much stress you have, stop and have a rest for a while if possible.

Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. Here is some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (代沟)． Don't argue with your parents. Don't get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won't consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can't express yourself well if you are angry. Firstly, keep calm. Then, make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Next, think about what you want to say to them. If you don't want to talk with them face to face, try writing a letter. Try to reach a compromise (和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try to accept each other. Michael's mother didn't agree with him about buying a toy. They argued about it. But she finally agreed with him. Michael bought the toy, but only played with it on certain days. Of course, your parents might disagree with you on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect to them. It will help keep your relationship strong. A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is a pleasure to have a try! 41. What's the passage mainly about? _______________________________________________________________ 42. How can we reach a compromise with our parents? ________________________________________________________________ 43. Why should we show love and respect to parents when we disagree with each other according to the text? ___________________________________________________________ 44.

One possible version： How to deal with pressure Nowadays, many middle school students often feel stressed. Heavy schoolwork, like endless homework and difficult exams, and getting on with classmates or parents can make us stressed. There are many ways for us middle school students to relax ourselves. As for me, when I feel stressed, I usually communicate with my friends, parents or teachers. Sometimes I will do sports with my classmates after class, such as riding bikes, going swimming and so on. And I can go to the movies or listen to light music in my spare time, too. What's more, going on a trip with family or friends is another good way to make me relaxed. I believe if we are more relaxed, we'll live a happier life, be healthier and learn better. 11 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
