It was a warm family shop. My mum, my uncle and my cousin took charge of different work. E 1 my retired grandpa comes to help bake bread on weekends. Mum told me the most valuable thing in the bakery wasn’t the oven—it was the free tea pot at the door. The tea was free, and nearly every c 2 would get a cup and talk with our family while waiting for their bread. During the hours a 3 school or holidays, my job was to keep the tea pot full. Over ten times every day, I cleaned used tea leaves, weighed tea leaves, filled the pot with hot water and boiled it. It was such a b 4 and simple job that I could finish it without thinking. One busy afternoon, I complained loudly: “W 5 must we offer free tea? We run a bakery, not a tea house!” Mum looked shocked at my words. She immediately s 6 her work and walked over to me. With a calm look on her f 7 , she said gently: “Kid, customers choose our bakery b 8 we treat them as old friends. We share tea with them, chat and laugh together. People don’t only need a p 9 to buy bread. They need warmth and friendship. That’s why your small job is the most important work here.” Mum’s words changed my mind completely. From that day, I finished my work much more c 10 . After all, I held the most meaningful job in our bakery. 【答案】 1．Even/ven 2．customer/ustomer 3．after/fter 4．basic/asic 5．Why/hy 6．stopped/topped 7．face/ace 8．because/ecause 9．place/lace 10．carefully/arefully 【导语】本文讲述了作者在自家面包店帮忙烧水沏茶，起初不理解这份工作的意义，后来在母亲的教导下明白了“免费茶”背后传递温暖与友谊的重要性。 1．句意：甚至我退休的爷爷周末也会来帮忙烤面包。上文提到妈妈、叔叔和表弟各自负责不同工作，此处补充说明爷爷也会来帮忙。“even”意为“甚至”，表示递进，首字母E提示Even符合语境。 2．句意：茶水是免费的，几乎每位顾客在等面包时都会喝上一杯，并和我们的家人聊天。every后接单数名词，根据“waiting for their bread”可知，这些人是在面包店消费的“顾客”，首字母c提示customer符合语境。 3．句意：放学后或节假日期间，我的工作就是确保茶壶一直是满的。“hours a… school”描述的是“放学后的时间”及首字母a可知，“after school”意为“放学后”是固定搭配，after符合语境。 4．句意：这是一项如此基础简单的工作，我不用思考就能完成。下文“I could finish it without thinking”说明这份工作非常基础、简单，不需要动脑，因此是“基础的”，首字母b提示basic符合语境。 5．句意：一个忙碌的下午，我大声抱怨：“我们为什么要免费提供茶水？我们开的是面包店，不是茶馆！”根据“must we offer free tea”可知，作者不理解这样做的原因，是在质问“为什么”，首字母W提示Why符合语境。 6．句意：她立刻停下手中的活，走到我面前。and表示并列，空处填入动词过去式与walked并列；根据“and walked over to me”可知，母亲“停下了”手中的工作，首字母s提示stopped符合语境。 7．句意：她脸上表情平静，温柔地说。”根据“With a calm look on her f…”及首字母f可知，母亲的表情是平静的，介词短语“with a … look on one’s face”用来描述某人脸上的表情，故填face。 8．句意：孩子，顾客选择我们的面包店，是因为我们把他们都当作老朋友。前半句“customers choose our bakery”是结果，后半句“we treat them as old friends”是原因，两者之间存在直接的因果关系。首字母b提示because符合语境。 9．句意：人们不仅需要一个买面包的地方。由“They need warmth and friendship.”（他们还需要温暖和友谊）可知，面包店不仅仅是售卖面包的“场所”，更是提供情感交流的“地方”。由a可知空处需要填一个单数名词，place“地方”符合语境。 10．句意：从那天起，我完成工作认真多了。空处修饰动词finished，应用副词，且与more构成比较级；根据“Mum’s words changed my mind completely”可知，作者态度发生了转变，从此更加“认真地”完成这份工作。首字母c提示carefully符合语境，强调态度认真。 Choosing a career is a big choice, but it doesn’t have to be scary (可怕的). Some people already know what they want to do, while others need more time. The key is to find work that m 1 your interests and skills—you’ll be happier doing what you love. Think about what excites you most. Do you like s 2 problems and working with numbers? You might want to work in technology or engineering. If you are w 3 to help people, try fields like healthcare or teaching. However, it’s not only about what you like—your skills m 4 too. Are you great at talking to people and understanding their needs? Or are you better at solving puzzles and using technology? Some people are amazing at maths and science, while others are b 5 with creativity and communication. You don’t just want a job you’re good at. You a 6 want one that you enjoy. When you join love and skills together, your work becomes l 7 of a “job” and more of something you really enjoy. Moreover, when you love w 8 you do, it’s easier to feel happier at the end of the day. But it’s also important to think about the job market and chances. If you live in a place full of technology companies, jobs in programming or engineering may be more s 9 . One more thing: your career path isn’t set in stone. People c 10 careers all the time! It’s okay if you start one job and then decide you want to try something new. What’s important is to keep learning and growing along the way. 【答案】 1．matches/atches 2．solving/olving 3．willing/illing 4．matter/atter 5．born/orn 6．also/lso 7．less/ess 8．what/hat 9．suitable/uitable 10．change/hange 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了选择职业时需要考虑兴趣、技能、就业市场等因素，并且职业道路并非一成不变。 1．句意：关键是找到一份符合你兴趣和技能的工作——做你喜欢的事情你会更快乐。根据“your interests and skills”和首字母可知，此处是指工作与兴趣和技能相匹配，match“匹配”，动词，句子是一般现在时，主语work是第三人称单数，动词用三单形式。故填matches。 2．句意：你喜欢解决问题和与数字打交道吗？根据“problems and working with numbers”和首字母可知，此处是指解决问题，solve“解决”，动词，like doing sth.“喜欢做某事”，动名词作宾语。故填solving。 3．句意：如果你愿意帮助别人，尝试医疗保健或教学等领域。根据“help people”和首字母可知，此处是指愿意帮助别人，be willing to do sth.“愿意做某事”。故填willing。 4．句意：然而，这不仅仅是你喜欢什么——你的技能也很重要。根据“However, it’s not only about what you like”和首字母可知，此处是指技能也很重要，matter“重要”，动词，句子是一般现在时，主语your skills是复数，动词用原形。故填matter。 5．句意：有些人擅长数学和科学，而有些人天生具有创造力和沟通能力。根据“Some people are amazing at maths and science”和首字母可知，此处是指有些人天生具有创造力和沟通能力，be born with“天生具有”。故填born。 6．句意：你不仅想要一份你擅长的工作。你还想要一份你喜欢的工作。根据“You don’t just want a job you’re good at.”和首字母可知，此处是指还想要一份喜欢的工作，also“也”，副词，用于肯定句句中。故填also。 7．句意：当你把爱和技能结合在一起时，你的工作就不再像一份“工作”，而更像是你真正喜欢的事情。根据“When you join love and skills together”和首字母可知，此处是指工作不再像一份工作，less of“更不像”，固定搭配。故填less。 8．句意：此外，当你热爱你所做的事情时，在一天结束时更容易感到快乐。根据“you do”和首字母可知，此处是指热爱你所做的事情，what“什么”，引导宾语从句，在从句中作宾语。故填what。 9．句意：如果你住在一个充满科技公司的地方，编程或工程方面的工作可能更适合。根据“If you live in a place full of technology companies”和首字母可知，此处是指编程或工程方面的工作可能更适合，suitable“合适的”，形容词，作表语。故填suitable。 10．句意：人们一直在换工作！根据“It’s okay if you start one job and then decide you want to try something new.”和首字母可知，此处是指人们一直在改变职业，change“改变”，动词，句子是一般现在时，主语People是复数，动词用原形。故填change。 Have you ever wondered what your dream job might be? Choosing a career is one of the most important decisions in life, but it doesn’t have to be a worry. The key is to find a j 1 that matches both your interests and your abilities. To start with, ask yourself what you really enjoy doing. Some people are p 2 about helping others, so they may choose to become teachers, doctors or social workers. Others are fond of c 3 new things with their hands, so careers in art, cooking or engineering might suit them well. Next, think about your s 4 . If you are good at maths and logic, you might be interested in jobs related to technology or finance. If you e 5 in writing and expressing ideas, careers in journalism, law or advertising could be a good fit. It is also wise to learn about the job market. Are there many chances in the field you like? Will this job still be n 6 in the future? Doing some research can help you make a wise choice. Remember, your first job doesn’t have to be your last one. Many people change their c 7 several times in their lives. It’s perfectly fine to try different things before you find the one that truly makes you happy. Most importantly, never s 8 learning. The world is developing fast, and new skills are always in demand. Whether you become a scientist, an artist or a businessman, staying curious and hard-working will always lead you to s 9 . In the end, your career is not just about making money. It is about finding meaning and i 10 in what you do every day. Choose wisely, but also bravely. 【答案】 1．job/ob 2．passionate/assionate 3．creating/reating 4．strengths/trengths 5．excel/xcel 6．needed/eeded 7．careers/areers 8．stop/top 9．success/uccess 10．importance/mportance 【导语】本文是一篇建议指导类说明文，主要围绕“如何选择职业”展开，从兴趣、能力、市场前景、终身学习和工作意义等多个角度，向读者提供实用建议和积极引导。 1．句意：关键是找到一份既匹配你的兴趣又匹配你的能力的工作。前文一直在谈论选择职业、理想工作，文章主题是工作，不定冠词a后接单数可数名词，job意为“工作”，贴合主题。 2．句意：有些人热衷于帮助他人，所以他们可能会选择成为教师、医生或是社会工作者。系动词are后需用形容词作表语，固定搭配be passionate about意为“对……热衷”，passionate意为“热衷的”。 3．句意：另一些人喜欢亲手创造新事物，所以艺术、烹饪或者工程类职业会很适合他们。根据“with their hands”及首字母c可知，此处是指亲手创造，create意为“创造”。固定搭配be fond of后接动名词，create变动名词为creating。 4．句意：接下来，想想你的优势。后文在讲述擅长的各类能力，即“优势，强项”，根据首字母s，strengths符合，常用复数形式strengths泛指多项能力。 5．句意：如果你擅长写作与表达想法，新闻、法律或者广告行业的职业会很合适。固定搭配excel in意为“擅长”，主语为you，一般现在时动词用原形，excel含义为“擅长”。 6．句意：这份工作在未来还会被人们需要吗？ 本句属于被动语态，“结构为be + 动词过去分词”。前文讲述要了解就业市场、行业就业机会，本句询问该行业岗位未来是否还有需求，动词need意为“需要”，过去分词形式是needed。 7．句意：很多人一生中会多次更换自己的职业。前一句“Remember, your first job doesn’t have to be your last one”表明第一份工作不一定是终身工作，对应后文人们会更换职业；结合首字母c，career意为“职业”，贴合全文择业、工作的主题。their后接可数名词，句中“several times”说明不止一份职业，因此career要使用复数形式careers。 8． 句意：最重要的是，永远不要停止学习。后文说明世界发展迅速，人们一直需要新技能，由此得出要坚持学习、不能停下学习的观点；根据首字母s，stop意为“停止”，符合语境，never stop learning意为“永远不要停止学习”。 9．句意：无论你成为科学家、艺术家还是商人，保持求知欲和勤奋终将带你走向成功。前文提出不能停止学习，持续保持好奇、勤奋的状态会带来好的结果，对应“成功”的含义；固定搭配lead sb. to sth.，to是介词，后面需要接名词；success是名词，意为“成功”，符合句子逻辑。 10．句意：说到底，你的职业不只是赚钱，而是在你每天做的事情中找到意义与重要性。前一句说“你的职业不仅仅是为了赚钱”，此处要表达的是职业的深层价值，即工作不仅有意义，而且很重要、有分量；and连接并列名词，共同作finding的宾语，需要填入名词；根据首字母i，importance作名词时意为“重要性”，符合语境。 A new study has shown that almost half of teenagers in the UK feel addicted (沉溺的) to using social media.

It is quite true for students to enjoy a rest after a long and difficult year. But more and more parents fear their kids forgetting a lot of knowledge, so they s 1 their children to summer schools. Because summer schools can help children go over the knowledge that they have l 2 during the school year. In summer schools, students probably study in a more r 3 situation and can come up with interesting topics for discussion with their teachers. Usually, the number of students attending summer schools is smaller, so this gives them a good c 4 to connect with other students and teachers better. If a student has f 5 an exam, summer schools may help him or her. Moreover, they are building their creativity and imagination as well as learning social s 6 . On the other hand, summer schools bring children problems at the same time. It takes children the whole summer vacation to learn w 7 playing. That is too long. As a result, it may make them less interested in school during the coming year. For many students, taking summer classes can be a tiring e 8 . Teachers teach the subjects too quickly, which only harms the whole education of students. Summer schools are usually expensive. They usually c 9 only a few subjects. So many students have to take classes that they don’t like. A summer school can be a good chance for students who need it, but it can be difficult for students who need a rest. So you can decide w 10 a summer school is suitable for your children. 【答案】 1．send/end 2．learned/earned/learnt/earnt 3．relaxing/elaxing 4．chance/hance 5．failed/ailed 6．skills/kills 7．without/ithout 8．experience/xperience 9．cover/over 10．whether/hether 【导语】本文谈论暑期学校的优缺点，它能帮学生复习知识、提升能力，也会让孩子缺少玩耍时间，家长可自行判断是否适合孩子。 1．句意：但是越来越多的家长担心孩子会忘记很多知识，所以他们把孩子送去暑期学校。固定搭配“send sb. to...”意为“送某人去某地”，句子为一般现在时，主语是they，首字母s对应send。 2．句意：因为暑期学校可以帮助孩子们复习他们在学年期间学到的知识。结构“have learned during the school year”表明所学内容，后文复习知识的语境提示该含义，句中have构成现在完成时，要使用动词的过去分词形式，首字母l对应learned/learnt。 3．句意：在暑期学校，学生可能在更轻松的环境中学习，并且可以和老师提出有趣的话题进行讨论。结构“in a more relaxing situation”表明学习氛围，后文轻松讨论的语境提示该状态，首字母r及上下文逻辑提示填relaxing。 4．句意：通常，参加暑期学校的学生人数较少，所以这给了他们一个更好地与其他学生和老师建立联系的好机会。固定搭配“give sb. a chance to do sth.”意为“给某人做某事的机会”，首字母c对应chance。 5．句意：如果一个学生考试不及格，暑期学校可能会帮助他或她。结构“has failed an exam”表明考试结果，后文需要帮助的语境提示该情况，句中have构成现在完成时，要使用动词的过去分词形式，首字母f对应failed。 6．句意：此外，他们在培养创造力和想象力的同时，也在学习社交技能。结构“learning social skills”表明学习内容，与创造力想象力并列，首字母s及上下文逻辑提示填skills，用复数表泛指。 7．句意：孩子们要花整个暑假的时间来学习而没有玩耍。结构“learn without playing”表明假期状态，前文整段时间学习的语境提示该含义，首字母w及上下文逻辑提示填without。 8．句意：对许多学生来说，上暑期班可能是一次累人的经历。结构“a tiring experience”表明个人感受，前文上课疲惫的语境提示该含义，首字母e及上下文逻辑提示填experience。 9．句意：它们通常只涵盖几门学科。结构“cover only a few subjects”表明课程情况，后文学生上不喜欢课程的语境提示该原因，首字母c及上下文逻辑提示填cover。 10．句意：所以你可以决定暑期学校是否适合你的孩子。结构“decide whether...”表明选择判断，前文利弊分析的语境提示该含义，首字母w及上下文逻辑提示填whether。 根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词。 Teenagers often experience ups and downs in emotions (情感). Sometimes negative (消极的) emotions from present schoolwork and worries about f 1 are with us. When negative thoughts and feelings appear, they may be h 2 to many parts of life. They even influence a person’s confidence greatly and make it hard to realize dreams. For example, people who think “I can’t do this” or “I doubt my skills” may f 3 to finish their tasks. This is one reason why it’s important to know some negative emotions and find ways that c 4 them for the better. It takes practice to know about emotions. Sometimes they can be so sudden and powerful that it’s hard to know e 5 what you’re experiencing. The best way is to stop for a short time and think for a moment when you notice yourself feeling unhappy. Try to name what emotion it is and say to y 6 , “I feel angry, sad, or worried.” By doing this, you will be able to know your emotions b 7 and understand your problems more clearly. If you’re unhappy but aren’t quite sure why, it can help to talk to someone you t 8 , like a close friend or family members who can keep a secret. Talking things over can also help deal with your feelings. If you have much difficulty talking about your feelings or you think people can h 9 understand you, keep a diary, draw or paint, or do something else that helps you get through hard times. Anyway, e 10 your feelings in a proper way instead of hiding them deep in your heart is a good choice! If you spend time finding out more about your feelings, you will become skilled at solving the emotional problems as they come up. 【答案】 1．(f)uture 2．(h)armful 3．(f)ail 4．(c)hange 5．(e)xactly 6．(y)ourself 7．(b)etter 8．(t)rust 9．(h)ardly 10．(e)xpressing 【导语】本文讲述了青少年经常经历情绪波动，介绍了负面情绪对个人生活的影响，并提出了识别、理解和处理这些情绪的方法，强调了积极面对和处理情感问题的重要性。 1．句意：有时，来自当前学业和对未来的担忧的负面情绪会伴随着我们。根据“Sometimes negative (消极的) emotions from present schoolwork and worries about...”和首字母f可知，与“present schoolwork”对应的应是不可数名词future“未来”。故填(f)uture。 2．句意：当消极的想法和情绪出现时，它们可能会对生活的许多方面造成伤害。根据“When negative thoughts and feelings appear, they may be...to many parts of life.”和首字母h可知，消极的想法和情绪可能对生活有害，形容词harmful“有害的”符合语境，在句中作表语。故填(h)armful。 3．句意：例如，那些认为“我做不到”或“我怀疑我的技能”的人可能无法完成他们的任务。根据“people who think ‘I can’t do this’ or ‘I doubt my skills’ may...to finish their tasks.”和首字母f可知，怀疑自己能力的人可能不能完成任务，短语fail to do sth.“未能做某事”符合语境，情态动词may后接动词原形。故填(f)ail。 4．句意：这就是了解一些消极情绪并找到改善它们的方法之所以重要的一个原因。根据“know some negative emotions and find ways that...them for the better.”和首字母c可知，为了变好，要找到改变消极情绪的方法，动词change“改变”符合语境；此从句为一般现在时，主语“ways”为复数，谓语动词用原形。故填(c)hange。 5．句意：有时它们会如此突然和强大，以至于你很难确切地知道你正在经历什么。根据“Sometimes they can be so sudden and powerful that it’s hard to know...what you’re experiencing.”和首字母e可知，此处指消极情绪如此突然和强大，以至于人们难以确切地知道正在经历什么，副词exactly“确切地”符合语境。故填(e)xactly。 6．句意：试着说出它是什么情绪，然后对自己说：“我感到生气、悲伤或担心。”根据“say to..., ‘I feel angry, sad, or worried.’”和首字母y可知，此处指对你自己说这些话，反身代词yourself“你自己”符合语境。故填(y)ourself。 7．句意：通过这样做，你将能够更好地了解你的情绪，更清楚地了解你的问题。根据“By doing this, you will be able to know your emotions...”和首字母b可知，通过这种方法，你能更好地了解自己的情绪，与“more clearly”并列，应用副词的比较级better“更好”。故填(b)etter。 8．句意：如果你不开心但又不确定原因，和你信任的人谈谈可能会有所帮助，比如一个亲密的朋友或能保守秘密的家庭成员。根据“like a close friend or family members who can keep a secret.”和首字母t可推测，亲密的朋友或能保守秘密的家庭成员应是值得信任的人，动词trust“信任”符合语境；此句为一般现在时，主语为“you”，谓语动词用原形。故填(t)rust。 9．句意：如果你很难谈论你的感受，或者你认为人们很难理解你，那就写日记、画画或做其他能帮助你度过困难时期的事情。根据“you think people can...understand you”和首字母h可知，此处指认为人们几乎不能理解你，副词hardly“几乎不”符合语境。故填(h)ardly。 10．句意：无论如何，用一种恰当的方式表达你的感受，而不是把它们藏在心里，这是一个很好的选择！根据“your feelings”和首字母e可知，此处指表达你的感受，动词express“表达”符合语境；is前为主语，应用动名词形式作主语。故填(e)xpressing。 根据短文内容及首字母提示填写所缺单词 Many great people have s 1 from all kinds of hardships in their lives, but they never gave up.

It was a warm family shop. My mum, my uncle and my cousin took charge of different work. E 1 my retired grandpa comes to help bake bread on weekends. Mum told me the most valuable thing in the bakery wasn’t the oven—it was the free tea pot at the door. The tea was free, and nearly every c 2 would get a cup and talk with our family while waiting for their bread. During the hours a 3 school or holidays, my job was to keep the tea pot full. Over ten times every day, I cleaned used tea leaves, weighed tea leaves, filled the pot with hot water and boiled it. It was such a b 4 and simple job that I could finish it without thinking. One busy afternoon, I complained loudly: “W 5 must we offer free tea? We run a bakery, not a tea house!” Mum looked shocked at my words. She immediately s 6 her work and walked over to me. With a calm look on her f 7 , she said gently: “Kid, customers choose our bakery b 8 we treat them as old friends. We share tea with them, chat and laugh together. People don’t only need a p 9 to buy bread. They need warmth and friendship. That’s why your small job is the most important work here.” Mum’s words changed my mind completely. From that day, I finished my work much more c 10 . After all, I held the most meaningful job in our bakery. Choosing a career is a big choice, but it doesn’t have to be scary (可怕的). Some people already know what they want to do, while others need more time. The key is to find work that m 1 your interests and skills—you’ll be happier doing what you love. Think about what excites you most. Do you like s 2 problems and working with numbers? You might want to work in technology or engineering. If you are w 3 to help people, try fields like healthcare or teaching. However, it’s not only about what you like—your skills m 4 too. Are you great at talking to people and understanding their needs? Or are you better at solving puzzles and using technology? Some people are amazing at maths and science, while others are b 5 with creativity and communication. You don’t just want a job you’re good at. You a 6 want one that you enjoy. When you join love and skills together, your work becomes l 7 of a “job” and more of something you really enjoy. Moreover, when you love w 8 you do, it’s easier to feel happier at the end of the day. But it’s also important to think about the job market and chances. If you live in a place full of technology companies, jobs in programming or engineering may be more s 9 . One more thing: your career path isn’t set in stone. People c 10 careers all the time! It’s okay if you start one job and then decide you want to try something new. What’s important is to keep learning and growing along the way. Have you ever wondered what your dream job might be? Choosing a career is one of the most important decisions in life, but it doesn’t have to be a worry. The key is to find a j 1 that matches both your interests and your abilities. To start with, ask yourself what you really enjoy doing. Some people are p 2 about helping others, so they may choose to become teachers, doctors or social workers. Others are fond of c 3 new things with their hands, so careers in art, cooking or engineering might suit them well. Next, think about your s 4 . If you are good at maths and logic, you might be interested in jobs related to technology or finance. If you e 5 in writing and expressing ideas, careers in journalism, law or advertising could be a good fit. It is also wise to learn about the job market. Are there many chances in the field you like? Will this job still be n 6 in the future? Doing some research can help you make a wise choice. Remember, your first job doesn’t have to be your last one. Many people change their c 7 several times in their lives. It’s perfectly fine to try different things before you find the one that truly makes you happy. Most importantly, never s 8 learning. The world is developing fast, and new skills are always in demand. Whether you become a scientist, an artist or a businessman, staying curious and hard-working will always lead you to s 9 . In the end, your career is not just about making money. It is about finding meaning and i 10 in what you do every day. Choose wisely, but also bravely. A new study has shown that almost half of teenagers in the UK feel addicted (沉溺的) to using social media. The r 1 was done by a team at the University of Cambridge England.

The summer vacation means long days, sleeping in or enjoying the summer sun. It is quite true for students to enjoy a rest after a long and difficult year. But more and more parents fear their kids forgetting a lot of knowledge, so they s 1 their children to summer schools. Because summer schools can help children go over the knowledge that they have l 2 during the school year. In summer schools, students probably study in a more r 3 situation and can come up with interesting topics for discussion with their teachers. Usually, the number of students attending summer schools is smaller, so this gives them a good c 4 to connect with other students and teachers better. If a student has f 5 an exam, summer schools may help him or her. Moreover, they are building their creativity and imagination as well as learning social s 6 . On the other hand, summer schools bring children problems at the same time. It takes children the whole summer vacation to learn w 7 playing. That is too long. As a result, it may make them less interested in school during the coming year. For many students, taking summer classes can be a tiring e 8 . Teachers teach the subjects too quickly, which only harms the whole education of students. Summer schools are usually expensive. They usually c 9 only a few subjects. So many students have to take classes that they don’t like. A summer school can be a good chance for students who need it, but it can be difficult for students who need a rest. So you can decide w 10 a summer school is suitable for your children. 根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词。 Teenagers often experience ups and downs in emotions (情感).
