初中英语八年级下册Unit 2 Growing pains and gains 周测过关卷 满分：80 分 时间：90 分钟 Ⅰ. 阅读理解（每题 2 分，共 20 分） A As teenagers, we often face "growing pains"—small troubles between us and our parents, or pressure from school. Sometimes it feels like our parents don’t understand us. They might keep asking about our grades, or get upset when we spend time with friends instead of studying. But have you ever thought about why they do this? Most parents just want what’s best for us. They have more life experience, and they worry that we might make mistakes we’ll regret later. When we feel angry with them, taking a deep breath and trying to talk calmly can help. Explaining our feelings and listening to theirs can make us closer. Growing pains are not always bad. They help us learn to communicate and understand others better. They are part of growing up, and we will get through them. 1. What is the main idea of the passage? A.

She said exams were just a way to check what I had learned, not something to fear. She encouraged me to make a study plan and take small steps every day. I followed her advice.
