Lily was an adventurous and lively spirit, always jumping from one activity to another. But there was one thing that bothered her— she found it challenging to communicate with her parents.
One day, Lily found a magical book in an old bookstore. The book was called The Secret Language of Parents. Lily began reading the book and discovered that it held the key to understanding her parents better. Excited, Lily decided to put her newfound knowledge into practice. She met her parents with a smile and said, “Mom and Dad, I know the secret to a great adventure!”
Her parents felt very curious. Lily continued, “It’s called The Land of Listening. You see, when we truly listen to each other, magical things happen!” Attracted by Lily’s passion, her parents nodded, willing to give it a try. From that day on, at dinner time, they built up a new tradition— the “Family Listening Circle”.
During the circle, each family member would take turns sharing their days, dreams, and concerns while the rest listened carefully. They learned about each other’s success, hard work. and even silly stories that made everyone laugh. Lily’s dad, who had always been busy with work, realized the importance of quality time spent with his family. He started planning regular outings and adventures to create lasting memories together. Lily’s mom, who often worried about her daughter’s wild thinking, saw how listening to her stories raised Lily’s creativity and encouraged her to pursue her dreams.
As the days went by, their communication improved, and the bond within the family grew stronger. They discovered that by truly listening and understanding each other, they could solve problems together, support one another’s dreams, and find joy in even the simplest moments. Lily couldn’t have been happier. She realized that the secret to strong communication with her parents was not simply talking but listening, understanding, and appreciating each other. From that day forward, Lily and her parents built a habit of open and honest communication. They understood that their family was a team, and they could conquer anything together.
And so, a new chapter began. Lily and her family became a shining example of how the power of communication could transform relationships and create love-tilled adventures that would last a lifetime.

Alex, a 15-year-old student, deeply loved his parents. However, between morning classes and late-night homework, schoolwork, hobbies, and social media left him little time for family talks. Quick chats during meals often turned into arguments about grades or screen time.
One Friday evening, after a heated fight about math scores, Alex rushed to the park. The setting sun painted the sky orange as he kicked pebbles (砾石) along the path. He noticed a young mother holding a flower and talking with her little boy.“Thank you for your beautiful flower, my boy, I love you,” the woman said softly to her son. Alex’s eyes filled with tears, wishing for such closeness with his own parents.
The next morning at breakfast, Alex made a decision. He put down his phone and said, “Mom, Dad, can we talk after dinner?” That night, they gathered in the living room instead of looking at different screens. At first, awkward silences hung in the air. Alex nervously described a science project, while his parents shared work stories. Gradually, 15-minute daily talks became their new routine (常规).
Two weeks later, something wonderful happened. During a discussion about weekend plans, Alex’s father asked, “What do you think we should do, son?” His mother began sharing stories of her own teenage years. They even laughed about the park argument, calling it “the math war.” Though differences remained, patience and active listening melted tensions (紧张) away.
By the month’s end, the family felt reconnected. Alex discovered his mom loved painting as a teen, while his dad once failed a chemistry test. Regular (定期的) communication became their bridge. They still argued sometimes, but now they know how to say “I’m sorry” and “I understand.”
Looking back, Alex realized love needs nurturing like plants need water. With courage to start and willingness to listen, the flowers in their family garden began coming out again.

①In many homes, there are rules that manage daily life. These rules ensure harmony (和谐), safety, and disciplines (纪律) in the family. In my house, there are several important rules. Let’s take a look at some of these rules.
Bedtime Routine
②Every night, bedtime must be followed strictly. In our house, lights are turned off at 9:00 PM. This rule makes sure that everyone gets enough sleep and have a good rest for the next day. My younger brother often tries not to follow, but he is reminded gently but firmly that the rule cannot be changed. Although he may not like it, he is forced to be in bed by 9:15 PM every evening.
Chores and Responsibilities
③On weekends, each family member has specific chores to complete. The dishes are washed by my sister after every meal. She may not enjoy it, but it is her responsibility to keep the kitchen clean. My job is a bit more fun. I am allowed to choose which room to clean each week. However, I am also responsible for taking out the trash on Mondays and Thursdays. Even our dog has a job. He is trained to pick up his toys when ordered.
Screen Time
④In our house, screen time is carefully monitored (监管). Homework is completed before any TV or video games are allowed. This means that we are not allowed to watch TV or play video games until all homework is finished. On week days, only one hour of screen time is allowed per day, and it is usually spent watching educational programs or playing educational games. Weekends are a bit more reasonable, but even then, screen time is limited to two hours per day.
Family Dinner
⑤Family dinner is a sacred (神圣的) time in our house. Every evening, dinner is prepared by either my mom or dad. We all sit down together, and stories are shared, and laughter is often heard. It’s a time when we are encouraged to talk about our day and any problem we might be facing. Although decisions are not always made during dinner, it’s a great time for us to get closer to each other and support each other.
Outings
⑥When it comes to going out, we have to be back home by 10:00 PM on weekdays and 11:00 PM on weekends. If we are late, we are not allowed to go out for a week. This rule makes us safe and lets us know that our parents care about where we are and who we are with. For special outings, the time for coming back home depends on the situation.
⑦Living with these rules may sound strict, but they create a stable (稳固的) and loving environment. By following these rules, we learn responsibilities and the importance of family time.
13. What time are the lights turned off in the writer’s house every night?
A. 8:00 PM. B. 9:00 PM. C. 10:00 PM. D. 11:00 PM.
14. How much screen time is allowed during the week?
A. Nine hours. B. One hour. C. Two hours. D. Five hours.

How to Have a Good Family Life
Improving your family life can help make your family members closer and prevent conflicts (冲突) from getting in the way of everyone’s happiness. 17
· Make celebrating birthdays and holidays together a family tradition.
You don’t have to do the same thing every birthday or holiday. For example, you could go to a family member’s favorite restaurant or do his/her favorite activity on his/her birthday. You’d be sticking to a tradition, but the activities would be varied (多样的).
· Have meals together as often as possible.
Parents work and kids have after-school activities, so it’s difficult to have breakfast and dinner together every day. However, do your best to eat together as often as possible. 18
· Do housework together.
Few people actually enjoy doing housework. 19 Try to make it as fun as possible, such as by playing music or having contests (比赛).
· Avoid comparing your family to those you see on social media.
20 However, it’s important to keep in mind that every family has to work to keep their relationships healthy and strong. If you start to envy (羡慕) someone else’s family, just remind yourself that you don’t know what their life is really like, and they also have family problems just like everyone else.
A. However, sharing housework can help everyone in your family take pride in your home.
B. Family meals are important things and can help you get along well with your family.
C. Luckily, there are lots of useful steps you can take to make your time with your family more enjoyable.
D. Family members should understand and help each other, and know how to devote themselves to one another.
E. It can be easy to believe that other people always look happy in their pictures and videos.

Many parents believe that chores are just about keeping the house clean. 31 a Harvard study suggests something different. It shows that doing chores plays 32 important role in children’s development, as they bring many unexpected benefits.
First of all, when children do chores, they can get a sense of 33 (achieve) because they can easily see the results after finishing the chores. Especially when their parents say thanks 34 their help and tell them they’ve made the day easier, they will know they are useful and able to help their families. This experience can also encourage children to be more active in helping others outside of the family.
Besides, children will learn how 35 (manage) their time through chores. Life is full of different 36 (activity). Chores are part of life, and 37 (do) chores from a young age helps children to get used to them. Children learn to plan ahead so that they can balance their time 38 (wise). This skill becomes even 39 (valuable) when they grow up and need to manage work and family.
What’s more, chores also teach practical life skills. Washing dishes, sweeping the floor, making the bed—these may seem simple, but they are all skills children need before they set out on 40 (they) own. The only way to learn them is by doing.
Chores aren’t just about keeping the house clean. They are life lessons.
四、任务型阅读
Filial piety, or “xiào” (孝) in Chinese is one of the most important traditional values. It means respecting, loving and taking care of our parents and elder family members. For thousands of years, Chinese people have believed that family is of great importance.
The Chinese character for “xiào” is made up of two parts. The top part is the character “lǎo”, which means old. It stands for our parents, grandparents and the elders in our family. The lower part is the character “zi”, which means “son” or “child”. When we put these two parts together, it shows a picture of a child supporting an elder.
In old stories, people showed filial piety in many ways. For example, there’s a story about a boy named Huang Xiang. In winter, he warmed his father’s bed with his own body. In summer, he fanned his father’s pillow (枕头) to make it cool. These stories teach us that showing love doesn’t need big actions—small acts matter a lot.
We Chinese pay much attention to the traditional value—Filial piety. It helps us become better people. Filial piety is important for our families because we can understand how much our parents have done for us.
As middle school students, we can show our filial piety or “xiào” to our parents, grandparents and elder family members by doing small things. For example, “I can help my mother clean the room.” These simple actions can show our love and keep this beautiful tradition alive.
41. What does the Chinese value “xiào” mean?
42. How did Huang Xiang warm his father’s bed in winter?
43. Why is filial piety important for our families?
44. How can you show your filial piety in your daily life? (Your answer should be different from the underlined one in the text.)

This rule makes us safe and lets us know that our parents care about where we are and who we are with. For special outings, the time for coming back home depends on the situation.
⑦Living with these rules may sound strict, but they create a stable (稳固的) and loving environment. By following these rules, we learn responsibilities and the importance of family time.

How to Have a Good Family Life
Improving your family life can help make your family members closer and prevent conflicts (冲突) from getting in the way of everyone’s happiness. 17
· Make celebrating birthdays and holidays together a family tradition.
You don’t have to do the same thing every birthday or holiday. For example, you could go to a family member’s favorite restaurant or do his/her favorite activity on his/her birthday. You’d be sticking to a tradition, but the activities would be varied (多样的).
· Have meals together as often as possible.
Parents work and kids have after-school activities, so it’s difficult to have breakfast and dinner together every day. However, do your best to eat together as often as possible. 18
· Do housework together.
Few people actually enjoy doing housework. 19 Try to make it as fun as possible, such as by playing music or having contests (比赛).
· Avoid comparing your family to those you see on social media.
20 However, it’s important to keep in mind that every family has to work to keep their relationships healthy and strong. If you start to envy (羡慕) someone else’s family, just remind yourself that you don’t know what their life is really like, and they also have family problems just like everyone else.
A. However, sharing housework can help everyone in your family take pride in your home.
B. Family meals are important things and can help you get along well with your family.
C. Luckily, there are lots of useful steps you can take to make your time with your family more enjoyable.
D. Family members should understand and help each other, and know how to devote themselves to one another.
E. It can be easy to believe that other people always look happy in their pictures and videos.

18. 本段小标题和建议均围绕“一起吃饭”展开。前文建议尽力一起吃饭,B选项“家庭聚餐很重要,能帮助你与家人相处融洽”是对家庭聚餐意义的总结,与段落主题一致。
19. 本段主题是共同做家务。空前说“很少有人喜欢做家务”,空后建议“让它变得有趣”。A选项“然而,分担家务能让家人为家感到自豪”用However表示转折,指出了做家务的积极意义,衔接上下文。
20. 本段主题是避免在社交媒体上比较家庭生活。空后以However开头,指出每个家庭都需要努力维护关系。E选项“很容易相信别人在图片和视频中看起来总是很快乐”描述了社交媒体带来的错觉,与空后内容形成转折对比,且关键词“pictures and videos”对应“social media”。

Especially when their parents say thanks 34 their help and tell them they’ve made the day easier, they will know they are useful and able to help their families. This experience can also encourage children to be more active in helping others outside of the family.
Besides, children will learn how 35 (manage) their time through chores. Life is full of different 36 (activity). Chores are part of life, and 37 (do) chores from a young age helps children to get used to them. Children learn to plan ahead so that they can balance their time 38 (wise). This skill becomes even 39 (valuable) when they grow up and need to manage work and family.
What’s more, chores also teach practical life skills. Washing dishes, sweeping the floor, making the bed—these may seem simple, but they are all skills children need before they set out on 40 (they) own. The only way to learn them is by doing.

四、任务型阅读
Filial piety, or “xiào” (孝) in Chinese is one of the most important traditional values. It means respecting, loving and taking care of our parents and elder family members. For thousands of years, Chinese people have believed that family is of great importance.
The Chinese character for “xiào” is made up of two parts. The top part is the character “lǎo”, which means old. It stands for our parents, grandparents and the elders in our family. The lower part is the character “zi”, which means “son” or “child”. When we put these two parts together, it shows a picture of a child supporting an elder.
In old stories, people showed filial piety in many ways. For example, there’s a story about a boy named Huang Xiang. In winter, he warmed his father’s bed with his own body. In summer, he fanned his father’s pillow (枕头) to make it cool. These stories teach us that showing love doesn’t need big actions—small acts matter a lot.
We Chinese pay much attention to the traditional value—Filial piety. It helps us become better people. Filial piety is important for our families because we can understand how much our parents have done for us.
As middle school students, we can show our filial piety or “xiào” to our parents, grandparents and elder family members by doing small things. For example, “I can help my mother clean the room.” These simple actions can show our love and keep this beautiful tradition alive.
41. What does the Chinese value “xiào” mean?
42. How did Huang Xiang warm his father’s bed in winter?
43. Why is filial piety important for our families?
44. How can you show your filial piety in your daily life? (Your answer should be different from the underlined one in the text.)
【答案】41. It means respecting, loving and taking care of our parents and elder family members. 42. He warmed his father’s bed with his own body. 43. Because we can understand how much our parents have done for us. 44. I can help my father wash the car.(答案不唯一)

Every Sunday, my parents come home early from work and cook delicious food. My grandparents also come to our house. We sit around the table and share what happened to us during the week. We laugh and talk happily. Sometimes we also play games after dinner.
