What should a friend be like? Let’s see what these students say about it.

I believe a friend is someone who makes you laugh. When I feel worried, my friend Lily always tells funny jokes. She makes me forget my problems. A good friend always brings happiness into your life.
I think a friend should be honest. Once, I made a mistake. Then, my friend Jack told me the truth. At first, I was unhappy, but later I realized he was right. A true friend tells you the truth, even if it’s hard to accept.

C
If you have a brother or sister, you already know you are different. You live in the same house and with the same parents, but you have different personalities (性格). Why? The reasons are as follows.
Firstborn (第一胎生的) children get more love from their parents. Parents usually give firstborn children more responsibility (责任) and ask them to look after younger brothers or sisters. So, firstborn children are often responsible, hard-working and jealous (妒忌的). They often want to do well at school and work.
When a second child arrives, parents are more relaxed. The second child has to compete (竞争) with the firstborn for parents and love. These children often have different sports and interests to do well in at school and work, but they must have a new way to get their family’s care. They are often friendly and cool.
Do you think so?
28. Why are firstborn children often responsible?
A. Because they get more love from their parents.
B. Because they have to compete with the secondborn children.
C. Because their parents usually give them more responsibility.

四、任务型阅读:根据短文回答问题(共4小题,42题1分,43、44每小题2分, 45题3分,共8分)
As we all know, Chinese people usually put the parent-child relationship first. We should build a good parent-child relationship because it is very important in the family. The Children Research Centre did a survey (调查) among 1,000 Chinese children. It showed that 85% of them wanted to be friends with their parents.
The parent-child relationship is like friendship. Both parents and children should treasure it and try their best to create a good relationship in the family. Here is some advice for children.
▲Listen to your parents’ experiences and thoughts. You can learn about their past, like how they studied or played. This helps you understand them better. And you can find useful tips from their experiences.
▲Care for your parents. Do something nice or helpful for your parents. For example, you can help them by doing some housework. You can also make some gifts for them. They will be very happy and trust you more.
▲Act like an adult (成年人). If you want your parents to give you more freedom, you should show them you’re not a child. For example, you should learn to use self-control to show them that you can plan your time well.
▲Open your heart. Sharing feelings with parents can bring lots of joy and good changes.
A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person.

I believe a friend is someone who makes you laugh. When I feel worried, my friend Lily always tells funny jokes. She makes me forget my problems. A good friend always brings happiness into your life.
I think a friend should be honest. Once, I made a mistake. Then, my friend Jack told me the truth. At first, I was unhappy, but later I realized he was right. A true friend tells you the truth, even if it’s hard to accept.

If you have a brother or sister, you already know you are different. You live in the same house and with the same parents, but you have different personalities (性格). Why? The reasons are as follows.

These children often have different sports and interests to do well in at school and work, but they must have a new way to get their family’s care. They are often friendly and cool.

As we all know, Chinese people usually put the parent-child relationship first. We should build a good parent-child relationship because it is very important in the family. The Children Research Centre did a survey (调查) among 1,000 Chinese children. It showed that 85% of them wanted to be friends with their parents.
The parent-child relationship is like friendship. Both parents and children should treasure it and try their best to create a good relationship in the family. Here is some advice for children.
▲Listen to your parents’ experiences and thoughts. You can learn about their past, like how they studied or played. This helps you understand them better. And you can find useful tips from their experiences.
▲Care for your parents. Do something nice or helpful for your parents. For example, you can help them by doing some housework. You can also make some gifts for them. They will be very happy and trust you more.
▲Act like an adult (成年人). If you want your parents to give you more freedom, you should show them you’re not a child. For example, you should learn to use self-control to show them that you can plan your time well.
▲Open your heart. Sharing feelings with parents can bring lots of joy and good changes.
A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person.
