Although their school days are full of lessons and homework, they still take after-school clubs like sports, language, music and maths, with little free time. Parents push their children hard and always compare them with others, without caring about their real interests. Too much pressure makes kids tired and worried. They can’t focus in class and some even hate studying. Doctors say many children have too much pressure, which can make them feel tired and worried. What’s worse, some children start to dislike studying because of the stress. Dr Alice Green advises parents to give kids more free time instead of more classes.

Without effective (有效的) communication, a message can turn into a mistake or misunderstanding. Communication is the process (过程) by which we exchange (交换) information between people. To communicate well is to understand and to be understood. Communication can be successful only when both the sender and the receiver understand the same information. In today’s highly informational and technological environment, it has become more important to have good communication skills. Here are some important steps to communicate effectively. Know what you want to say and why. Understand clearly the purpose of your message. Know with whom you are communicating and why. How will you say it? We all know that it’s not always what you say, but how you say it, that matters. Begin by making eye contact. You show trust and confidence when you look at others in the eyes when you speak. Second, pay attention to your body language, since it can say so much more than your words. By standing with your arms easily at your side, you tell others that you are open to hearing what they have to say. Communication is a two-way street. After you have said what you have to say, stop and listen. Practise your listening skills. Be considerate of others are talking, listen carefully and never cut them off. 根据短文内容，用短文中的符合语义及语法的词填空，每空一词。 1. Good communication are key to life, work and relationships. 2.

Stop after you have finished your talk. Passage 5 What did people do to communicate in ancient times? Here are some very interesting answers to this question. Alphorns (阿尔卑斯号角) were once used to communicate in the mountains in Switzerland. They are very long and they are very heavy too. So, alphorns are hard to blow. Then why use them? Well, they make a loud sound which travels much further than the human voice. Herdsmen (牧民) used them to call cows in the distance for milking. At sunset, alphorns were also used to send a message down to villagers that all was well. Nowadays, they’re mostly used as musical instruments. Some people have their own special ways of sending messages from mountain to mountain. They use a whistled (口哨的) language called Silbo, which comes from their language Spanish. Whistling can be heard within five kilometres, which means it can’t be used across much greater distances than shouting. Silbo can be used for all kinds of messages, including greetings and announcements. Did you know it’s also possible to send messages without making a noise? This is called visual (视觉的) communication, and it includes the use of flags and even smoke. Long ago, soldiers along the Great Wall of China used smoke as a warning. If they noticed the enemy from their signal tower, they lit a smoky fire. When soldiers in other towers saw the smoke, they lit fires too. In this way, messages about the enemy’s arrival could travel as far as 800 km in just a few hours. 1. Alphorns are mostly used for today. 2. The Silbo is a kind of coming from Spanish. 3. Visual communication includes the use of . 4. Soldiers along the Great Wall got warning messages between towers by . 5. This passage mainly writes about . Passage 6 Have you ever done something that you didn’t really want to do, just because you want to get along well with others. When we do this, we’re not being true to ourselves. It’s important to be honest about your feelings because it can make you happier. Being true to yourself means listening to your own thoughts and feelings. If you want to be alone sometimes, then being true to yourself might mean saying no to your friends who want you to play together. Being true to yourself is when your actions match your real thoughts. When we keep on doing things we don’t like and ignore (忽略) our thoughts and feelings, it can make us feel uncomfortable, worried or sad. Naomi Richards told THE WEEK Junior, “Children need to know clearly who they are, their values and their beliefs. Then they are more likely to be true to themselves.” One part of being true to yourself is by learning how to say no in a polite way and following your beliefs. What’s more, you can learn how to be true to yourself by being yourself—sticking to your views, thoughts and actions. 根据短文，完成句子，每空一词。 1.

They jump from planes into areas that are difficult to reach by car or on foot, like the middle of a mountain forest. The idea of jumping out of planes to fight wildfires first came up in the 1930s and became popular in the 1940s. At a fire site, smoke-jumpers first examine the land and decide how to fight the fire. Their main goal is to stop fire from spreading. Using basic tools such as shovels and axes, smoke-jumpers clear land of burnable material like plants and other dry material. They carry water with them too, but not much. Although most smoke-jumpers are men, more women are joining. Most important are your weight and height. Smoke-jumpers in the U. S., for example, must be 54 to 91 kilograms, so they don’t get hurt when they land, or get blown by strong winds. Smoke-jumpers must be able to live in the wilderness (荒野). In Russia, many smoke-jumpers know how to find food in the forest and even make simple furniture (家具) from trees. The work is dangerous, and the hours are long. But for these firefighters, smoke-jumpers isn’t just a job. They love being able to jump out of planes, fight fires, and live in the forest.

Wealth is becoming an important sign of a successful person. Similarly (同样), Chinese teenagers now see being a banker as a good and fun way to wealth.

Homes are broken down, and thousands of people die. Smoke-jumpers are helping to stop this. Smoke-jumpers are a special kind of firefighter. They jump from planes into areas that are difficult to reach by car or on foot, like the middle of a mountain forest. The idea of jumping out of planes to fight wildfires first came up in the 1930s and became popular in the 1940s. At a fire site, smoke-jumpers first examine the land and decide how to fight the fire. Their main goal is to stop fire from spreading. Using basic tools such as shovels and axes, smoke-jumpers clear land of burnable material like plants and other dry material. They carry water with them too, but not much. Although most smoke-jumpers are men, more women are joining. Most important are your weight and height. Smoke-jumpers in the U. S., for example, must be 54 to 91 kilograms, so they don’t get hurt when they land, or get blown by strong winds. Smoke-jumpers must be able to live in the wilderness (荒野). In Russia, many smoke-jumpers know how to find food in the forest and even make simple furniture (家具) from trees. The work is dangerous, and the hours are long. But for these firefighters, smoke-jumpers isn’t just a job. They love being able to jump out of planes, fight fires, and live in the forest.
