It was handed to the 8th Young Pioneers Congress (少年先锋队代表大会) held in Shanghai. The report, by a middle school student Zhang Chuyi, pointed out 80% or so of the parents shared their children’s pictures on WeChat Moments. Among these children, six out of ten said their parents never asked them first before they put the pictures on the Internet. What these parents share on WeChat Moments usually has something to do with their children’s life, from their talents and travel stories to their grades and other achievements. For lots of parents, it’s fun to record their children’s growth online. “Whenever I look through my boy’s pictures on WeChat Moments, thousands of memories come into my mind,” a mother said. For other parents, it can bring them a strong feeling of satisfaction when other people praise (表扬) their kids or give “likes”. “I feel like my son is helping me realize my unrealized dream when I read the praise from the people around,” a father of a 13-year-old boy said.

Sometimes it even causes me trouble at school because my classmates will tease me about the pictures. 【导语】本文主要讨论了一份呼吁家长在微信朋友圈分享孩子照片时更有责任心的报告，报告指出大部分家长会在微信朋友圈分享孩子的照片，其中很多家长并未事先征得孩子的同意，同时探讨了家长分享孩子照片的原因以及孩子对此的看法。 1．根据原文“The report, by a middle school student Zhang Chuyi”可知，报告是由一个中学生写的，不是由年轻的家长写的。故填No, it wasn’t. 2．根据原文“What these parents share on WeChat Moments usually has something to do with their children’s life, from their talents and travel stories to their grades and other achievements.”可知，父母在微信朋友圈分享的通常是关于孩子的生活，从他们的才能和旅行故事到成绩和其他成就。故填They share something about their children’s life, from their talents and travel stories to their grades and other achievements. 3．根据原文“For lots of parents, it’s fun to record their children’s growth online.”和“For other parents, it can bring them a strong feeling of satisfaction when other people praise (表扬) their kids or give ‘likes’.”可知，对许多父母来说，在网上记录孩子的成长很有趣。对其他父母来说，当别人表扬他们的孩子或点赞时，会给他们带来强烈的满足感。故填Because for lots of parents, it’s fun to record their children’s growth online and for other parents, it can bring them a strong feeling of satisfaction when other people praise their kids or give “likes”. 4．这是一个开放性问题，答案因人而异。但可以根据文章内容和常识来回答。故填Because when my parents share my pictures, I feel like my privacy is being invaded.

When the midday nap bell rings, Geng Xian from a foreign language school in Shenzhen pulls out the footrest, reclines (靠) on her chair and lies back for a nap (小睡) with her classmates. On May 6th, the school introduced reclining chairs for students to nap during the lunch breaks. Now the chairs have been used across four grades, with over 100 sets provided for Grade 9. “Before this, I could only rest at my desk for a nap, often leading to my hands and neck uncomfortable. Sometimes I even found myself pressing my eyes against my arms, causing pains,” the 15-year-old Geng complained.“ Now, lying down to nap is as comfortable as being at home.” For Wang Tingnuo, lying down to nap has made her want to rest.“ In the past, I only napped for 20 minutes before we got up. Now I choose to sleep for 20 more minutes with the reclining chair,” she said. She added that the longer sleep time also helps her do better in her afternoon studies. According to Xu Weimin, a sleep expert in Shanghai, lying down for a nap brings physical and mental benefits.“ It can relax the muscles and improve blood flow (血流) to the brain,” Xu told Xinhua News.

(合理即可) 阅读下文并回答问题。 Teenagers will finally grow up some day, leaving their parents and facing the difficulty in life alone, so they should learn some basic (基本的) life skills and form good habits. Our country has been trying to pay attention to the importance of labour education (劳动教育). But this has been overlooked (忽略) these years. Many teenagers do not know the importance of doing chores. There is a teenager named Nancy and she never helps out around the house. Once her mother went to work in another city for a week, leaving her alone at home. When her mother came home, she could not even find a clean dish or a clean shirt. Schools play an important role in teaching students about the importance of working hard. Primary and middle schools should provide students with labour classes every week. For example, to make students get close to nature and learn a lot about farming, Linfen No.1 Central Middle School sets up Lemon Farm. Students feed animals, grow and pick vegetables there. Parents should also encourage children to learn how to do chores at home. Teenagers should learn one or two life skills every year. These skills include cooking, washing their own clothes and tidying their rooms and so on. The basic skills may help teenagers to solve the problems they will meet in the future. 1．Do many teenagers know the importance of doing chores? 2．What can students do on Lemon Farm? 3．What are basic life skills in this passage? 4．Should we do chores at home? Why or why not? (30 words or more ) 【答案】1．No./No, they don’t. 2．They feed animals, grow and pick vegetables there. 3．Cooking, washing their own clothes and tidying their rooms. 4．Yes, we should do chores at home. Because doing chores at home helps us develop independence, learn responsibility and understand fairness, which will be useful when we face problems in the future. 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，围绕青少年劳动教育这一主题展开论述，通过举例、阐述学校和家长的责任等方式，表明观点，论证青少年学习基本生活技能和接受劳动教育的重要性。 1．根据“Many teenagers do not know the importance of doing chores.”可知，许多青少年不知道做家务的重要性。故填No./No, they don’t. 2．根据“Students feed animals, grow and pick vegetables there.”可知，学生在那里喂养动物、种植和采摘蔬菜。故填They feed animals, grow and pick vegetables there. 3．根据“These skills include cooking, washing their own clothes and tidying their rooms and so on.”可知，包括做饭、洗自己的衣服和整理房间等技能。故填Cooking, washing their own clothes and tidying their rooms. 4．开放性作答，言之有理即可。参考答案为Yes, we should do chores at home. Because doing chores at home helps us develop independence, learn responsibility and understand fairness, which will be useful when we face problems in the future. My friend, Robert, has a twin sister named Amanda. Though they get along well, there are some things about Amanda and her friends that puzzle (困惑) him. He can’t understand how girls can talk for long. For example, sometimes when he leaves home to play football, Amanda and her friend, Sharon, are sitting on the sofa, talking. When he comes back three hours later, they’re still sitting there, going on with the same topic. Boys and girls have different attitudes towards friendship. Friendships between girls are usually about sharing feelings and support, but boys prefer to share activities or interests. A boy seems to be more careful about sharing his feelings with his friends. A girl’s closest friend, however, might always be about to tell her about something that has happened in her life. Many studies show that girls have more friendships than boys. In fact, many teenage boys cannot name a single best friend. When asked, they thought for a while before answering, “My best friend? Er, I don’t think about that, and I have so many different friends that it is hard to choose just one best friend.” Girls who have been asked can usually answer the question without thinking, “A best friend? Of course. We have a lot to share with each other and do a lot of things together.” We have to realize that boys share activities, while girls share feelings more. But the most important thing to remember is that both of them need friendship. 1．What makes Robert feel strange about his sister Amanda? 2．What’s the probable relationship between Robert and Amanda? 3．Who has more friendships, boys or girls? 4．How do girls usually answer the same question? 5．What do boys and girls have in common according to the passage? 【答案】1．She can sit and talk with her friend for hours without doing anything else. 2．They are twins (sister and brother). 3．Girls. 4．They can usually answer it quickly without thinking. 5．Both boys and girls need friendship. 【导语】本文围绕作者朋友罗伯特对双胞胎妹妹阿曼达及其朋友间相处方式的困惑展开，阐述了男孩和女孩对待友谊的不同态度，包括友谊的侧重点、朋友数量等方面，最后强调了男孩和女孩都需要友谊这一共同点。 1．根据第一段中“He can’t understand how girls can talk for long. For example, sometimes when he leaves home to play football, Amanda and her friend, Sharon, are sitting on the sofa, talking. When he comes back three hours later, they’re still sitting there, going on with the same topic.”可知，罗伯特觉得奇怪的是阿曼达能和她的朋友长时间坐着谈论同一个话题而不做其他事。故填She can sit and talk with her friend for hours without doing anything else. 2．根据第一段中“My friend, Robert, has a twin sister named Amanda.”可知，罗伯特和阿曼达是双胞胎（兄妹关系）。故填They are twins (sister and brother). 3．根据第三段中“Many studies show that girls have more friendships than boys.”可知，女孩比男孩拥有更多的友谊。故填Girls. 4．根据第三段中“Girls who have been asked can usually answer the question without thinking, ‘A best friend? Of course. We have a lot to share with each other and do a lot of things together.’”可知，女孩通常能不假思索地快速回答这个问题。故填They can usually answer it quickly without thinking. 5．根据最后一段中“But the most important thing to remember is that both of them need friendship.”可知，男孩和女孩的共同点是都需要友谊。故填Both boys and girls need friendship. 进阶拓展训练5篇 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 I was very shy in social situations in primary school. When I was talking to another kid, speaking in front of class, greeting my parents’ friends, or asking for help in a store, I would try to hide inside myself. I felt uncomfortable in any situation with strangers or lots of people. This made life a little difficult for me. When I started middle school, I decided to face my fear and take action. To deal with my shyness, I joined the drama club at school since I was interested in art. I hoped that it would help me feel more relaxed in public along the way. At first, I was nervous when I stood in front of the class. I couldn’t focus on my lines. But the training really worked well. Within a month, I started to feel at ease on stage and paid less attention to everyone’s watching. I started enjoying acting and only thinking about my performance. So I had no time to care about others’ reactions. Sharing ideas about performance with other students also helped me open up. I’m now proud to have got over my shyness—one of the biggest obstacles (障碍) in my life. Becoming more outgoing can help in school and beyond. It allows me to try whatever I’m curious about without considering what others think of me. When I’m nervous about socializing with someone, I often turn on my “acting” self and feel better. So here’s my advice for those who are being troubled by their shyness: find something you want to get better at and throw yourself into it. You may feel like a fish out of the water at first, but just give yourself a chance to try, and you will see it does get easier over time. 1．How did the writer deal with his shyness when he started middle school? 2．How long did it take for the writer to start feeling at ease on stage? 3．What does the writer do now when he is nervous about socializing? 4．Would you like to follow the writer’s advice when you’re shy? Why or why not? (Please give two reasons.) 【答案】1．He joined the drama club. 2．Within a month. 3．He turns on his “acting” self and feels better. 4．Yes, I would like to. Because facing fear directly can help build confidence, and engaging in activities we enjoy makes it easier to overcome shyness. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，作者分享了自己通过参加戏剧俱乐部克服害羞的经历，并给出建议：投身于自己感兴趣的事物中，勇敢尝试，害羞会逐渐减轻。 1．根据第二段“To deal with my shyness, I joined the drama club at school”可知，作者在中学时通过加入戏剧俱乐部来应对害羞。故填He joined the drama club. 2．根据第三段“Within a month, I started to feel at ease on stage”可知，作者在一个月内开始在舞台上感到自在。故填Within a month. 3．根据第四段“When I’m nervous about socializing with someone, I often turn on my ‘acting’ self and feel better.”可知，当对社交感到紧张时，作者会启动自己的“表演”模式来缓解。故填He turns on his “acting” self and feels better. 4．本题为开放性问题，可结合自身看法表达是否愿意采纳作者的建议并给出两个理由。参考答案为Yes, I would like to. Because facing fear directly can help build confidence, and engaging in activities we enjoy makes it easier to overcome shyness. 根据短文内容，回答问题 (每题答案不超过8个词)。 Loving Yourself in the Coming Year Posted 30 December, 2025 “Love you, laoji” is a catchphrase now.

Nearly every parent says that we never grow up. In fact, we are probably 13 or 14 years old. In their eyes, we are always little ones and often do wrong things. For example, when we need to stay at home alone, they always worry about us and our life without them. Most parents always think that they have offered the best things to make their children live in a comfortable world. They buy their children pretty clothes, cool shoes and expensive school things. They think that they have done everything that they can do for their dear children. In return, they only want their children to get good results in the exams. But why still can’t we understand our parents? Does it mean that we still want more material things? No. Actually, what we want is a true family. What does a true family mean? I think it means a place where we can hide ourselves from the cold world outside. From here, we can get warmth, we can get consolation (安慰), and we can get happiness. And one important thing is that we will become stronger and more confident in the outside world because we know that we have a true family.

While they might mean well, it can make you feel sad or even angry. So, how should you deal with this situation? Understand their purposes. Most parents compare because they want you to improve. They believe that others’ success will encourage you. So, try to understand their purposes. Ask yourself: are they really criticizing (批评) me, or just hoping I’ll do better? Communicate calmly. If comparisons get you down, talk to your parents in a respectful way. For example, you can say, “I know you want me to succeed, but when you compare me with others, I feel like I’m not good enough.” This helps them understand your feelings without starting an argument. Turn comparisons into motivation (激励). If your parents praise (称赞) some people, ask yourself what you can learn from them. Maybe they study efficiently, practise more, or use time more wisely. Get into their good habits, and you will do better next time. Build self-confidence. Write down your strengths—maybe you’re creative, kind, or brave. When your parents compare, think of what makes you special. With the confidence, you will not care too much about unhelpful comparisons. Parents’ comparisons can be hard, but you can deal with them wisely. Remember, you are not defined (定义) by others’ success-your progress is what truly matters. 1．Why do most parents compare their children with others? 2．What should you do if comparisons get you down? 3．Why does the writer advise learning from the people your parents praise? 4．How can you build your self-confidence when facing comparisons? 5．In your opinion, what else can we do to deal with parents’ comparisons in a good way? （答案须与文中提到的方式不同） 【答案】1．Because they want their children to improve and believe others’ success will encourage them. 2．Talk to our parents in a respectful way. 3．Because we can get into their good habits and do better next time. 4．Write down our strengths and think of what makes us special. 5．回答合理即可，参考答案：We can actively share our progress and efforts with parents to let them see our growth. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，针对父母常将孩子与他人比较的现象，分析了父母的本意，并提出了理解目的、冷静沟通、转化为动力和建立自信四种应对策略，帮助青少年以积极心态面对这一问题。 1．根据“Most parents compare because they want you to improve.

Advice from the Kid Expert Offering solutions to life’s little problems It’s great that you appreciate your stuff! Ask yourself whether you really value and use it, though, or whether you just want to hang on to it. Rank what you have, from most treasured (珍爱) to least. Maybe you’ll decide to let go of some lower-ranked things. To help you decide, try an experiment. Notice what you use over a month’s time. At the end of the month, you might consider giving away what you didn’t use. ①Knowing that your things will bring happiness to someone else may help you let them go. You aren’t alone. Many kids feel upset when their parents argue. Adults disagree at times, just as kids do. It’s natural to wish you could make your parents stop arguing, but that isn’t your responsibility. They must solve their own disagreements. If you feel upset, focus on things that’ll help you feel calm. Do activities you enjoy or write or draw to express how you feel. At a time when things are calm, tell your parents how you feel. You might say, “When I hear you arguing, I feel worried and scared.” You can also talk things over with a school counselor (辅导员) or teacher. ②Lots of kids (and adults!) feel the same way you do. Try to understand the feeling better. You could ask yourself questions, like “When do I feel most afraid? Do noises or storms make it worse? Do I watch scary movies that keep replaying in my mind?” Make a list of what you think can be scary about the dark. Then think about whether you really need to fear those things. Talk with a parent about the things on your list, too, and ways to handle them. For example, if you fear not being able to see what’s around you, maybe you can use a flashlight to remind yourself that a room is safe. Answer the questions. 1．Why did the expert suggest that Madelyn rank her items? 2．Who is Michal advised to talk to in order to seek help with his feelings? 3．What does the expert think of Harper’s fear of the dark? 4．According to the expert, how can Harper overcome her fear of the dark? 5．How can kids contact the kid expert if they have a question or need advice? 6．What advice do you have for Maya from California? 【答案】1．Because by ranking her items, she can find out which ones are less important to her and consider giving them away. 2．His parents, teacher or school counselor. 3．It is normal/understandable. 4．She can make a list of what she finds scary about the dark and discuss these fears with a parent to find ways to handle them. 5．Kids can write to Letters@kidexpert.com or by postal mail. 6．I think there’s nothing wrong with enjoying things such as kawaii, because it doesn’t harm anyone. Maya should just be herself and ignore the kids who make fun of her. 【导语】本文摘选自《儿童专家建议》栏目，针对三位孩子提出的问题给予分析和建议。分别涉及如何处理旧物、应对父母争吵以及对黑暗的恐惧，并提供了实用的解决方法。 1．根据“Rank what you have, from most treasured to least.

After all, we can’t win all the time. So we must know how to be a good loser. We shouldn’t be afraid of losing. When we lose, we can look on the bright side of it. For example, Edison failed about 1,600 times before he improved the light bulb. Losing can be helpful if we accept our failure and learn to make use of it. When we lose, there is no better way than thinking about what we did and how we can improve to make use of our failure. If someone else can help, we’ll be lucky enough. This can save us a lot of time in learning how to avoid the same mistakes in the future. We should face our failure when we lose. There is only one winner in every competition. Some win, while some lose. That is a usual way of life. If we offer the winners our congratulations and share their happiness, we won’t feel sorry for our failure. In a word, being a good loser will help us to succeed in life. It might be painful (痛苦的) at the beginning, but there are many advantages. Good losers set examples to us, and most importantly, they will win. 1．What can we do when we lose according to Paragraph 2? 2．Who was used as an example? 3．What is the best way to make use of our failure? 4．What will help us to succeed in life according to this passage? 5．Are you a good loser in life? Why or why not? 【答案】1．We shouldn’t be afraid of losing and can look on the bright side of it. 2．Edison. 3．Thinking about what we did and how we can improve. 4．Being a good loser. 5．Yes.

Exam time is the most stressful time of the year. You have worked all school term and now it’s time to prove what you have learned. In fact, it’s common for most of us to have exam stress. A little bit of stress can be a good thing. If we have proper (适当的) stress, we can think actively and work harder. Besides, it can help us to focus (集中) on the preparation of exams. However, if we can’t deal with stress well, we may make things worse. When I was in school, I used to get very stressed because of my exams. So did my friends. Some of them stopped eating and others ate too much! Some gave up and others burned themselves out! But the most important thing to remember while studying is not to feel frightened! Stay calm, eat healthily and get a rest. Pushing yourself too hard is just as dangerous as not studying enough. A tired and overworked brain is just as useless as a lazy and empty one! So, what should you do? Set a time each day for study and a time for relaxation. You may have less time to relax than usual, but you still need to let your brain rest for a few moments. If you are tired, information will not stick in your memory. Finally, eat healthy foods for enough energy. It is bad for you to think too much about your exams. Some students may think that the rest of their life depends on exams. That’s not true. Instead, just regard the exams as another difficulty you will overcome (克服). You have overcome all kinds of difficulties in your life so far. With the right amount of work and focus, you will pass your exams with flying colors! 1．When is the most stressful time of the year for the students? 2．What is the most important thing to remember while studying? 3．Why should we get enough sleep during exam time? 4．What do you think of exam stress? What should students do to deal with exam stress? (Give at least two points.) 【答案】1．Exam time. 2．Remember not to feel frightened. 3．Because if we are tired, information will not stick in our memory. 4．开放性试题，言之有理即可。参考答案为：Exam stress is common for most students. A little bit of stress can be good, but too much stress is bad for us. Students can set a time each day for study and a time for relaxation. They should also eat healthy foods for enough energy. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了学生在考试期间面临的压力，阐述了适当压力的好处以及压力过大的坏处，并给出了应对考试压力的一些建议。 1．根据第一段“Exam time is the most stressful time of the year.”可知，对学生来说，一年中压力最大的时候是考试期间。故填Exam time. 2．根据第二段“But the most important thing to remember while studying is not to feel frightened!

Reduce the time you spend on them now!A recent survey found that: Most children between 6 and 12 years old spend more than 6 hours using tablets a day.

Spending long hours on tablets may cause: · poor eyesight     · poor posture     · muscle ache on one’s neck    · pain in fingers Experts recommend (建议) that for every 20 continuous minutes spent using tablets, you should take a 5 minutes’ break.

Instead of using tablets, do the following: · Read a hard copy book instead of an e-book. · Play board games or sports with your friends instead of virtual games. · Go out for tea with your friends instead of messaging them. · Watch movies in a theatre rather than on a tablet. For more information, please read the following reference books that can be found in the school’s library: 1．How long does an 8-year-old boy spend on tablets according to the survey? 2．What are the problems with prolonged use of tablets?

The day I started secondary school, they changed their minds. They now suggest that I give up video games altogether because studies should be my priority (优先考虑的事项). What’s more, they don’t even allow me to go out with my friends at night. Every time they do that, I act like I don’t care. But in fact, I am quite angry and upset because they simply have no respect for me and my needs. What can I do? Sincerely yours, Jason Dear Jason, You must be feeling very stressed these days. I’m glad you wrote to me for help. However, you should keep calm and talk to your parents about the benefits of your hobby.

Try pointing out real-life examples to them to support your idea. Meanwhile, you should also make sure your hobby doesn’t get in the way of your school performance. As for your parents’ not allowing you to go out with your friends, it may be a good idea to open up to them about your private life. For example, you can get along well with them. This may help them change their minds. Meanwhile, show them you are a responsible person who understands their worries, and will not let them down. If you can do this, I don’t believe they will be so hard on you. Remember, you mustn’t lose your cool, as that would be immature (不成熟的).Cheers!

It was handed to the 8th Young Pioneers Congress (少年先锋队代表大会) held in Shanghai. The report, by a middle school student Zhang Chuyi, pointed out 80% or so of the parents shared their children’s pictures on WeChat Moments. Among these children, six out of ten said their parents never asked them first before they put the pictures on the Internet. What these parents share on WeChat Moments usually has something to do with their children’s life, from their talents and travel stories to their grades and other achievements. For lots of parents, it’s fun to record their children’s growth online. “Whenever I look through my boy’s pictures on WeChat Moments, thousands of memories come into my mind,” a mother said. For other parents, it can bring them a strong feeling of satisfaction when other people praise (表扬) their kids or give “likes”. “I feel like my son is helping me realize my unrealized dream when I read the praise from the people around,” a father of a 13-year-old boy said. However, kids may not like this. Some even think sharing pictures online brings trouble to them. Among them is Ai Yizhong, a 14-year-old girl. She explained to the reporter, “I don’t think it’s harmless (无害的) fun_______.” 1．Was the report written by a young parent? 2．What do parents share about their children on WeChat Moments? 3．According to the passage, why do parents like to share their children’s pictures? 4．What might Ai Yizhong say?

(about 30 words) When the midday nap bell rings, Geng Xian from a foreign language school in Shenzhen pulls out the footrest, reclines (靠) on her chair and lies back for a nap (小睡) with her classmates. On May 6th, the school introduced reclining chairs for students to nap during the lunch breaks. Now the chairs have been used across four grades, with over 100 sets provided for Grade 9. “Before this, I could only rest at my desk for a nap, often leading to my hands and neck uncomfortable. Sometimes I even found myself pressing my eyes against my arms, causing pains,” the 15-year-old Geng complained.“ Now, lying down to nap is as comfortable as being at home.” For Wang Tingnuo, lying down to nap has made her want to rest.“ In the past, I only napped for 20 minutes before we got up. Now I choose to sleep for 20 more minutes with the reclining chair,” she said. She added that the longer sleep time also helps her do better in her afternoon studies. According to Xu Weimin, a sleep expert in Shanghai, lying down for a nap brings physical and mental benefits.“ It can relax the muscles and improve blood flow (血流) to the brain,” Xu told Xinhua News. However, there have also been some worries about the reclining chairs.“ Students may lean back during class, so it needs effective (有效的) management,” Chu Peilu, an English teacher said.“ But in all, I think it brings more good than bad.” 1．When did the school introduce reclining chairs? 2．How does Geng Xian feel about napping now? 3．How long does Wang Tingnuo sleep at noon now? 4．What is Chu Peilu’s worry? 5．What do you think of the reclining chairs? 阅读下文并回答问题。 Teenagers will finally grow up some day, leaving their parents and facing the difficulty in life alone, so they should learn some basic (基本的) life skills and form good habits. Our country has been trying to pay attention to the importance of labour education (劳动教育). But this has been overlooked (忽略) these years. Many teenagers do not know the importance of doing chores. There is a teenager named Nancy and she never helps out around the house. Once her mother went to work in another city for a week, leaving her alone at home. When her mother came home, she could not even find a clean dish or a clean shirt. Schools play an important role in teaching students about the importance of working hard. Primary and middle schools should provide students with labour classes every week. For example, to make students get close to nature and learn a lot about farming, Linfen No.1 Central Middle School sets up Lemon Farm. Students feed animals, grow and pick vegetables there. Parents should also encourage children to learn how to do chores at home. Teenagers should learn one or two life skills every year. These skills include cooking, washing their own clothes and tidying their rooms and so on. The basic skills may help teenagers to solve the problems they will meet in the future. 1．Do many teenagers know the importance of doing chores? 2．What can students do on Lemon Farm? 3．What are basic life skills in this passage? 4．Should we do chores at home? Why or why not? (30 words or more ) My friend, Robert, has a twin sister named Amanda. Though they get along well, there are some things about Amanda and her friends that puzzle (困惑) him. He can’t understand how girls can talk for long. For example, sometimes when he leaves home to play football, Amanda and her friend, Sharon, are sitting on the sofa, talking. When he comes back three hours later, they’re still sitting there, going on with the same topic. Boys and girls have different attitudes towards friendship. Friendships between girls are usually about sharing feelings and support, but boys prefer to share activities or interests. A boy seems to be more careful about sharing his feelings with his friends. A girl’s closest friend, however, might always be about to tell her about something that has happened in her life. Many studies show that girls have more friendships than boys. In fact, many teenage boys cannot name a single best friend. When asked, they thought for a while before answering, “My best friend? Er, I don’t think about that, and I have so many different friends that it is hard to choose just one best friend.” Girls who have been asked can usually answer the question without thinking, “A best friend? Of course. We have a lot to share with each other and do a lot of things together.” We have to realize that boys share activities, while girls share feelings more. But the most important thing to remember is that both of them need friendship. 1．What makes Robert feel strange about his sister Amanda? 2．What’s the probable relationship between Robert and Amanda? 3．Who has more friendships, boys or girls? 4．How do girls usually answer the same question? 5．What do boys and girls have in common according to the passage? 进阶拓展训练5篇 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 I was very shy in social situations in primary school. When I was talking to another kid, speaking in front of class, greeting my parents’ friends, or asking for help in a store, I would try to hide inside myself. I felt uncomfortable in any situation with strangers or lots of people. This made life a little difficult for me. When I started middle school, I decided to face my fear and take action. To deal with my shyness, I joined the drama club at school since I was interested in art. I hoped that it would help me feel more relaxed in public along the way. At first, I was nervous when I stood in front of the class. I couldn’t focus on my lines. But the training really worked well. Within a month, I started to feel at ease on stage and paid less attention to everyone’s watching. I started enjoying acting and only thinking about my performance. So I had no time to care about others’ reactions. Sharing ideas about performance with other students also helped me open up. I’m now proud to have got over my shyness—one of the biggest obstacles (障碍) in my life. Becoming more outgoing can help in school and beyond. It allows me to try whatever I’m curious about without considering what others think of me. When I’m nervous about socializing with someone, I often turn on my “acting” self and feel better. So here’s my advice for those who are being troubled by their shyness: find something you want to get better at and throw yourself into it. You may feel like a fish out of the water at first, but just give yourself a chance to try, and you will see it does get easier over time. 1．How did the writer deal with his shyness when he started middle school? 2．How long did it take for the writer to start feeling at ease on stage? 3．What does the writer do now when he is nervous about socializing? 4．Would you like to follow the writer’s advice when you’re shy? Why or why not? (Please give two reasons.) 根据短文内容，回答问题 (每题答案不超过8个词)。 Loving Yourself in the Coming Year Posted 30 December, 2025 “Love you, laoji” is a catchphrase now. Literally (字面上), “laoji” means “the old self”. Although calling ourselves this way is a bit funny, it makes us feel warm at heart. It’s like talking to a good old friend—relaxed and caring. To ring in the New Year, here are some tips for you to love laoji more in the coming year. Don’t Chase (追求) Perfection. Waiting to be perfect often means never starting. Many people put things off because they’re afraid of making mistakes. But doing something imperfect is better than doing nothing at all. Start small. Learn as you go. The first step matters most. Take Real Rest. Real rest isn’t sleeping all day or staying up late on your phone. That only makes you more tired. Try active rest— gentle activities that help your body and mind recover (恢复). Feel the sunshine, go for a walk, or listen to music you like. Choose one or two small things each day to recharge (充电). Talk to Yourself Kindly. Pay attention to how you talk to yourself. When things go wrong, don’t be too hard on laoji. Try saying, “It’s okay,” or “I’ll try again next time.” Treat yourself the way you would treat a good friend. 1．What does “laoji” literally mean? 2．How do people feel at heart when calling themselves “laoji”? 3．Why do many people put things off? 4．How many tips for people to love laoji are mentioned (提及) in the article? 5．What does the writer mean by “Doing something imperfect is better than doing nothing at all.” 阅读下面的短文，并用英语回答问题（请注意每小题后面的词数要求）。 Now there is a family problem. Nearly every parent says that we never grow up. In fact, we are probably 13 or 14 years old. In their eyes, we are always little ones and often do wrong things. For example, when we need to stay at home alone, they always worry about us and our life without them. Most parents always think that they have offered the best things to make their children live in a comfortable world. They buy their children pretty clothes, cool shoes and expensive school things. They think that they have done everything that they can do for their dear children. In return, they only want their children to get good results in the exams. But why still can’t we understand our parents? Does it mean that we still want more material things? No. Actually, what we want is a true family. What does a true family mean? I think it means a place where we can hide ourselves from the cold world outside. From here, we can get warmth, we can get consolation (安慰), and we can get happiness.

While they might mean well, it can make you feel sad or even angry. So, how should you deal with this situation? Understand their purposes. Most parents compare because they want you to improve. They believe that others’ success will encourage you. So, try to understand their purposes. Ask yourself: are they really criticizing (批评) me, or just hoping I’ll do better? Communicate calmly. If comparisons get you down, talk to your parents in a respectful way. For example, you can say, “I know you want me to succeed, but when you compare me with others, I feel like I’m not good enough.” This helps them understand your feelings without starting an argument. Turn comparisons into motivation (激励). If your parents praise (称赞) some people, ask yourself what you can learn from them. Maybe they study efficiently, practise more, or use time more wisely. Get into their good habits, and you will do better next time. Build self-confidence. Write down your strengths—maybe you’re creative, kind, or brave. When your parents compare, think of what makes you special. With the confidence, you will not care too much about unhelpful comparisons. Parents’ comparisons can be hard, but you can deal with them wisely. Remember, you are not defined (定义) by others’ success-your progress is what truly matters. 1．Why do most parents compare their children with others? 2．What should you do if comparisons get you down? 3．Why does the writer advise learning from the people your parents praise? 4．How can you build your self-confidence when facing comparisons? 5．In your opinion, what else can we do to deal with parents’ comparisons in a good way? （答案须与文中提到的方式不同） Advice from the Kid Expert Offering solutions to life’s little problems It’s great that you appreciate your stuff! Ask yourself whether you really value and use it, though, or whether you just want to hang on to it. Rank what you have, from most treasured (珍爱) to least. Maybe you’ll decide to let go of some lower-ranked things. To help you decide, try an experiment. Notice what you use over a month’s time. At the end of the month, you might consider giving away what you didn’t use. ①Knowing that your things will bring happiness to someone else may help you let them go. You aren’t alone. Many kids feel upset when their parents argue. Adults disagree at times, just as kids do. It’s natural to wish you could make your parents stop arguing, but that isn’t your responsibility. They must solve their own disagreements. If you feel upset, focus on things that’ll help you feel calm. Do activities you enjoy or write or draw to express how you feel. At a time when things are calm, tell your parents how you feel. You might say, “When I hear you arguing, I feel worried and scared.” You can also talk things over with a school counselor (辅导员) or teacher. ②Lots of kids (and adults!) feel the same way you do. Try to understand the feeling better. You could ask yourself questions, like “When do I feel most afraid? Do noises or storms make it worse? Do I watch scary movies that keep replaying in my mind?” Make a list of what you think can be scary about the dark. Then think about whether you really need to fear those things. Talk with a parent about the things on your list, too, and ways to handle them. For example, if you fear not being able to see what’s around you, maybe you can use a flashlight to remind yourself that a room is safe. Answer the questions. 1．Why did the expert suggest that Madelyn rank her items? 2．Who is Michal advised to talk to in order to seek help with his feelings? 3．What does the expert think of Harper’s fear of the dark? 4．According to the expert, how can Harper overcome her fear of the dark? 5．How can kids contact the kid expert if they have a question or need advice? 6．What advice do you have for Maya from California? 能力综合实践5篇 阅读下面短文，根据要求回答问题。 Nobody wants to lose, but we must accept that losing is a part of life. After all, we can’t win all the time. So we must know how to be a good loser. We shouldn’t be afraid of losing. When we lose, we can look on the bright side of it. For example, Edison failed about 1,600 times before he improved the light bulb. Losing can be helpful if we accept our failure and learn to make use of it. When we lose, there is no better way than thinking about what we did and how we can improve to make use of our failure. If someone else can help, we’ll be lucky enough. This can save us a lot of time in learning how to avoid the same mistakes in the future. We should face our failure when we lose. There is only one winner in every competition. Some win, while some lose. That is a usual way of life. If we offer the winners our congratulations and share their happiness, we won’t feel sorry for our failure.

Q: How can we help teenagers use their phones properly?Shen Shaochun: According to a survey, more than 70 percent of the middle school students own phones and use them often. To cut down the use of phones, schools and families should make rules for the screen time. Sharing good things online can also be helpful. Q: As AI is developing quickly, how can education prepare students for AI?Chen Li: Traditional education thinks knowledge is the most important. With the rise of AI, education will be more about developing students’ problem-solving skills. Schools need to provide new courses for this purpose (目的).

Besides, schools should make sure students don’t depend on AI too much, or they may never have creative minas. Q: Ne Zha 2 has made people around the world interested in traditional Chinese culture.

You have worked all school term and now it’s time to prove what you have learned. In fact, it’s common for most of us to have exam stress. A little bit of stress can be a good thing. If we have proper (适当的) stress, we can think actively and work harder. Besides, it can help us to focus (集中) on the preparation of exams. However, if we can’t deal with stress well, we may make things worse. When I was in school, I used to get very stressed because of my exams. So did my friends. Some of them stopped eating and others ate too much! Some gave up and others burned themselves out! But the most important thing to remember while studying is not to feel frightened! Stay calm, eat healthily and get a rest. Pushing yourself too hard is just as dangerous as not studying enough. A tired and overworked brain is just as useless as a lazy and empty one! So, what should you do? Set a time each day for study and a time for relaxation. You may have less time to relax than usual, but you still need to let your brain rest for a few moments. If you are tired, information will not stick in your memory. Finally, eat healthy foods for enough energy. It is bad for you to think too much about your exams. Some students may think that the rest of their life depends on exams. That’s not true. Instead, just regard the exams as another difficulty you will overcome (克服). You have overcome all kinds of difficulties in your life so far. With the right amount of work and focus, you will pass your exams with flying colors! 1．When is the most stressful time of the year for the students? 2．What is the most important thing to remember while studying? 3．Why should we get enough sleep during exam time? 4．What do you think of exam stress? What should students do to deal with exam stress?

Reduce the time you spend on them now!A recent survey found that: Most children between 6 and 12 years old spend more than 6 hours using tablets a day. This figure is 2 hours longer than the amount of time most adults spend. Many children started using tablets from 3 years old. Spending long hours on tablets may cause: · poor eyesight     · poor posture     · muscle ache on one’s neck    · pain in fingers Experts recommend (建议) that for every 20 continuous minutes spent using tablets, you should take a 5 minutes’ break. You should look at something green far away during those 5 minutes. In total, you should not spend more than 2 hours on tablets every day. Instead of using tablets, do the following: · Read a hard copy book instead of an e-book. · Play board games or sports with your friends instead of virtual games. · Go out for tea with your friends instead of messaging them. · Watch movies in a theatre rather than on a tablet. For more information, please read the following reference books that can be found in the school’s library: 1．How long does an 8-year-old boy spend on tablets according to the survey? 2．What are the problems with prolonged use of tablets? List two problems. 3．Tony wants to read “A Tablet-free Life” in the library, how does he find it quickly? 4．What’s the main purpose of the poster? 5．Which book would you most like to read? And why?

The day I started secondary school, they changed their minds. They now suggest that I give up video games altogether because studies should be my priority (优先考虑的事项). What’s more, they don’t even allow me to go out with my friends at night. Every time they do that, I act like I don’t care. But in fact, I am quite angry and upset because they simply have no respect for me and my needs. What can I do? Sincerely yours, Jason Dear Jason, You must be feeling very stressed these days. I’m glad you wrote to me for help. However, you should keep calm and talk to your parents about the benefits of your hobby. I can see why your parents are against video-gaming—it was seen as a useless pastime (娱乐活动) back in the time when your parents were young. The best idea may be to tell them that it is good training for new tech jobs like being a video game developer or drone photographer. Also, it is a good way to have a rest after a long school day. Try pointing out real-life examples to them to support your idea. Meanwhile, you should also make sure your hobby doesn’t get in the way of your school performance. As for your parents’ not allowing you to go out with your friends, it may be a good idea to open up to them about your private life. For example, you can get along well with them. This may help them change their minds. Meanwhile, show them you are a responsible person who understands their worries, and will not let them down. If you can do this, I don’t believe they will be so hard on you. Remember, you mustn’t lose your cool, as that would be immature (不成熟的).Cheers! Mrs Wu 1．What is Jason’s favourite hobby? 2．Why do Jason’s parents change their attitude towards Jason’s hobby now? 3．How does Jason feel when his parents stop him from going out with his friends? 4．According to Mrs Wu, what are the benefits of Jason’s hobby? 5．After reading Mrs Wu’s letter of advice, what will Jason probably do next?
