She tried to cook porridge, but it was burnt. She tried to wash clothes, but they were still dirty. She felt tired and wanted to give up. Seeing Mia’s frustration, her mom said softly, “Mia, growing up is not easy. It’s about trying your best even when things are hard.” Mia listened and decided to try again. She asked her dad for help by phone and learned to cook simple porridge. She washed clothes carefully and cleaned the room. After a week, her mom got better. She looked at the clean room and the hot porridge Mia made, and she was very proud. Mia realized that she could do many things by herself. She no longer asked her mom to do everything for her.

C篇 Growing up is a natural process that happens to everyone, but it means more than just getting older. It is a journey of learning and changing, shaping us into the people we will become. During growth, we learn to be independent. As children, we rely on our parents for food, clothes and care. As we grow older, we start to do things by ourselves—finishing homework alone, looking after our own things and making small decisions. This independence helps us face the world bravely. We also learn to care about others. When we are young, we only think about ourselves. But as we grow, we begin to notice the needs of our parents, friends and classmates. We learn to help others when they are in trouble, listen to their worries and share our happiness with them. This makes our relationships closer and our lives more meaningful. Growing up also means facing challenges. We may meet difficulties in study, friendship or family life. These challenges are not always easy, but they teach us to be strong and brave. They help us learn from our mistakes and become more mature. Without challenges, we can’t grow up truly. 32. What does growing up mean according to the passage? A. Only getting older. B. Ignoring others’ needs. C. Doing nothing for ourselves. D. A journey of learning and changing. 33. What do we learn to do as we grow older? A. Rely on parents for everything. B. Only think about ourselves. C. Be independent and care about others. D. Avoid all challenges. 34. What is the main idea of the third paragraph? A. We should rely on our parents. B. We learn to care about others as we grow up. C. Challenges are not easy to face. D. Independence is not important. 35. What can we infer from the passage? A. Challenges are bad for our growth. B. Growing up is a process of becoming more mature. C. We don’t need to help others when we grow up. D. Children can be independent without learning. D篇 Many teenagers think growing up means being free to do whatever they want, but this is not the true meaning of growing up. Growing up is about becoming responsible, understanding and independent, and it happens little by little every day. Being responsible is an important part of growing up. It means taking care of ourselves and others. For example, finishing our homework on time, keeping our promises and helping our parents with housework. When we are responsible, we gain the trust of others and feel proud of ourselves. Understanding is another key part of growing up. As we grow, we begin to understand our parents’ love and hard work. We realize they are not trying to control us, but to protect us. We also learn to understand our friends’ feelings and respect their opinions. This helps us build good relationships with others. Independence is also necessary for growing up. It means we can make our own decisions and take care of ourselves without relying too much on others. We learn to solve problems by ourselves and face difficulties bravely. This doesn’t mean we don’t need help, but we can try our best before asking for help. Growing up is not a one-time event. It is a lifelong journey full of small steps and progress. Every time we take responsibility, understand others or become more independent, we are growing up. 36. What do many teenagers think growing up means? A. Being responsible. B. Being free to do whatever they want. C. Being independent. D. Understanding others. 37. What does being responsible mean? A. Doing whatever we want. B. Relying on others for everything. C. Taking care of ourselves and others. D. Ignoring our promises. 38. What does the underlined word “mature” mean in the passage? A. Becoming older. B. Becoming more responsible and understanding. C. Becoming more selfish. D. Becoming more lazy. 39. What can we infer from the passage? A. Growing up happens quickly. B. We don’t need help when we grow up. C. Good relationships help us grow up. D. Growing up is not important. 40. What is the best title for the passage? A. How to Be Independent B. The True Meaning of Growing Up C. How to Build Good Relationships D. The Importance of Responsibility 四、阅读表达（10分，每小题2分） 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容简要回答下列问题。 How to Grow Up Healthily Growing up healthily is the wish of every teenager and parent.
