As a Grade Eight student, I have many worries, but I also get a lot from solving them. My biggest pain is the pressure from exams. I often worry that I can’t get good grades and let my parents down. On Saturday morning, I got up at 8:00 a.m. After breakfast, I studied for two hours. It was really tiring, and I felt upset. In the afternoon, I went to the park with my best friend, Lily. I told her about my worry. She listened to me and encouraged me to face it bravely. She said growing pains are normal and they can help us make progress. On Sunday morning, I talked to my mom about my pressure. She told me that the process of trying is more important than the result. With their help, I learned to adjust myself. I felt relaxed and confident again—that’s my biggest gain. In the evening, I read a book about teenagers’ growing stories and then went to bed at 9:30 p.m. I think growing pains are not terrible. They make me stronger and more confident. Every pain brings a valuable gain. What about your growing pains and gains? Please write to me and tell me.

B Last summer, my son Eric left for university in another country. Our once lively house became quiet and lonely. I missed and worried about him so much that I started sending him messages on the phone, mainly to say hello or to give him a word of warning. One of my messages said, “So you told me you lost your wallet. If you are always careless, one day you’ll wake up and find yourself lost.” I did get Eric’s messages, but most of them were about money. I was a bit angry. They were not different from the notes he used to leave on the whiteboard when he was at home. “I bought a new pair of shoes. They cost me $90. Please help!” “Money is running short because I’ve bought some books for my research paper. Help me please!” Recently, however, Eric begins to send me all kinds of articles. Some are funny, some are touching and some make me think. He knows I haven’t got many things to do in my free time. He says they will help me understand young people better and keep up with the times. I read the articles slowly, like a careful student, with mixed feelings as well—my kid, who followed me around not long ago, has now become my teacher! So I write back, “I’ve read all those articles. I’ll take them as a loving son’s hopes for his mother. He must be thinking that his mother is still young enough to accept new things. That makes me feel proud. We parents can’t learn quickly and change both in body and mind. Thank you, my son.” In this way we share ideas, with a gentle and beautiful language we seldom used. Every time I read those messages, I feel warm. 1．What did the son often write about in the notes in the past? A．Study. B．Hobbies. C．The future. D．Money. 2．Why does Eric send his mother all kinds of articles? ①To ask his mother for some more money. ②To give his mother some things to do. ③To help his mother keep up with the times. ④To help his mother understand the young better. A．①②③ B．②③④ C．①②④ D．①③④ 3．How do the writer’s feelings change? A．Proud→angry→worried. B．Proud→worried→angry. C．Angry→worried→proud. D．Worried→angry→proud. 4．Which part of a magazine may the article come from? A．Life. B．Health. C．Sports. D．Education. 四、选词填空 truth, lonely, proud, refuse, normal, courage, influence, progress, whether, regret Growing up is not always easy for teenagers. It is 1 to meet problems in our life. We may feel 2 and nervous when we are in trouble. It is wrong to 3 to talk with our parents or teachers. We need to have enough 4 to face difficulties bravely. Try to find out the 5 and solve them by yourself. With their help, you can make 6 little by little. They 7 us and help us become better people. Don’t 8 what you have done when you try your best. What matters is 9 you can learn from mistakes. If you keep trying, you will surely make your parents feel 10 of you. 五、任务型阅读 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? ________________________________________________________ 1 / 7 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 2 Growing pains and gains 课时6 Presenting ideas &Reflection 分层作业 核心知识速记 01基础达标 02能力提升 03拓展培优 04思维进阶 短语 share sth with sb 与某人分享某物 believe in 相信 learn ..from 从..学到.. 词性变化 grow v. 生长，成长-growth n. 生长，成长 solution n. 解决办法-solve v. 解决 successful adj. 成功的-success n. 成功-succeed v. 成功 一、单项选择 1．I will _______ your suggestion carefully before making a decision.

Maybe you’ll decide to let go of some lower-ranked things.”可知，专家建议Madelyn将物品排序是为了帮助她区分哪些是真正珍爱的，哪些可以舍弃。故填Because by ranking her items, she can find out which ones are less important to her and consider giving them away. 2．根据“tell your parents how you feel... You can also talk things over with a school counselor or teacher.”可知，Michal被建议与父母、老师或学校辅导员谈论自己的感受。故填His parents, teacher or school counselor. 3．根据“Lots of kids (and adults!) feel the same way you do.”可知，专家认为Harper对黑暗的恐惧是普遍且正常的。故填It is normal/understandable. 4．根据“Make a list of what you think can be scary about the dark... Talk with a parent about the things on your list, too, and ways to handle them.”可知，专家建议Harper列出对黑暗的恐惧点，并与父母讨论如何处理。故填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．根据“Write to us at Letters@kidexpert.com or by postal mail.”可知，孩子们可以通过电子邮件或邮寄信件联系儿童专家。故填Kids can write to Letters@kidexpert.com or by postal mail. 6．本题为开放性问题，答案不唯一，只要围绕“如何应对因爱好不同而被嘲笑”给出合理建议即可。故填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. 1 / 7 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
