The best tool you can use in communicating with parents is to keep talking to them, no matter what. Strong relationship (關(guān)系) depend heavily on keeping the lines of communication open. Try to talk about everyday things with your parents. That doesn’t mean telling them everything. In fact, turn the focus onto them for a change: Ask about their day — just as they do with you.

David, 16, is a senior school student. One evening, after he mentioned at dinner that he was thinking of trying out for the school play, his mom kept asking about it for weeks. And later, it also felt like she was getting too involved (參與) in something he wanted to do himself. Instead of telling his mom how he felt, David decided it would be easier not to tell her anything he was doing in the future.
A good way to get a parent to ask fewer questions is to offer some information on your own. This puts the communication in your hands. The more you keep a parent told about everyday things, the less they need to ask. Communicating everyday things has another advantage: It can show your parents that you’re responsible enough to make good decisions.
It won’t always be easy. You may get frustrated (受挫) at times. But try not to give up. It may take a bit for a parent who is used to making all the decisions to adjust (適合) to the independent-thinking person their child is becoming. Parents also don’t want to see their sons and daughters suffer (受苦) if the choices they make on their own aren’t the “right” ones. To many parents, it seems easier to step in and take control simply because they believe their years of experience put them in a better position to make decisions. If you feel that’s the case (情況) with your parents, talk to them about it.
小題1:The underlined part “turn the focus onto them” probably means ____.
A．talk the things about them
B．have a good time with them
C．show your thanks to them
D．do something good for them
小題2:In the third paragraph, you are advised to ____.
A．let your parents know everything about your daily life
B．tell your parents more information before you are asked

小題3:What causes parents to take control of children?
A．They find their children wrong.
B．They do well in almost everything.
C．They think they can make better decisions.
D．They are used to making choices for children.
小題4:The main idea of the passage is how to ____.
A．make decisions on your own

C．think carefully for yourself
D．communicate with parents

小題1:A
小題2:B
小題3:C

It’s possible to do many simple tricks with numbers. Here is one trick, if you follow the instructions, you will find it’s really interesting.
First, write down your house number. For example, if your address is 73 Jin Shang Road, you would write down 73. After you write down your house address number, you double it. Then add 5 to this doubled number. For example, if your address is 73 and you double it, you will get 146. Then you add 5, you will get 151.
And then, multiply this number by 50. In our example here, you’ll get 7550. The next step is to add your age to this total. For example, if you’re 16 years old, you should add 16 to this total. In our example here, the result will be 7566.
After that, you have to add the number of days in a year, which is 365. In our example here, 365 added to 7566 is 7931.
The final step is this: Subtract 615 from the number that you have. Take away 615 from the total. In our example, 7931 minus 615 is 7316.
The result here—7316—is the trick. The first part of the number is the address and the last part of the number is the age of the person. That is, 73 is the address that we started with, and 16 is the age that we used.
Isn’t it interesting? Do you want to have a try now?
小題1:How many steps are there in the trick?
A. Four                          B. Seven                    C. Nine
小題2:The third step is ______.     
A. ＋5                           B. ×50                          C.－615
小題3:Tom is 38, he lives in 89 Jin Shang Road. If he plays this trick, he will get______ in the end.
A. 3889                         B. 9150                          C. 8938
小題4:When you play this trick, ______ is Not the number you have to use every time.
A. 50                          B.73                        C. 365  
小題5:The best title of this passage is “______”.

Nearly all kids have had the same experience. They are eating in a restaurant with their parents. They finished the spaghetti minutes ago. Now, they are bored. Their little brother is kicking them under the table. He is also complaining about the desserts(餐后甜點(diǎn)). Yet their parents are still eating and talking…and talking…and talking.
“Be patient.” One parent says. “We’ll have dessert soon.”
All kids know what happens next. After dessert, their parents drink coffee. Then they talk some more. Again, the children must wait. They have been in school all day and would rather be running and playing. Instead, they must sit in a chair and stare at a wall.
Going to a restaurant doesn’t have to be this way. Many restaurants say they are “family-friendly”. Family restaurants, such as fast-food restaurants should play areas for children. At these restaurants, almost every play area is a big room full of climbing equipment. The room is usually, packed with happy kids. Parents can eat while the children play. Everyone is happy.
The real problem begins when families want to eat a fancier meal(大餐). The parents don’t want to hurry through the meal but talk to each other. They do not have bored children pestering(煩擾) them about leaving. That’s no fun for kids either. For them, going to a nicer restaurant means just one thing: sit still and be quiet.
On family blogs across the Web, dozens of parents post the same question all the time; are there any nicer restaurants with play areas for kids? Research shows that some nicer restaurants do have play areas. In warmer cities, it is easier for restaurants to build play areas outside. For example, at one restaurant kids can sail tiny little motor boats in a small, shallow pond. Parents can sit on a beautiful yard and watch the kids play. Some nicer restaurants even have indoor play areas. Research also shows that these restaurants serve more than just burgers, chickens and fries.
So, it’s possible for a restaurant to provide both food and a place where kids can play. These restaurants seem to be popular, too. For some, families must have reservation days in advance. For others, families might be forced to wait in long lines. Clearly, quality food and safe play areas are both good for business.
小題1:Why do children get unhappy at the restaurant?
A．Because they can’t join in their parents’ talk.
B．Because the dessert isn’t served in time.
C．Because they can do nothing but wait.
D．Because the food there isn’t delicious.
小題2:What is the real problem mentioned in the passage?
A．Children don’t like eating fancier food.
B．Not many nicer restaurants provide play areas.
C．Parents don’t trouble to comfort their bored kids.
D．People have to wait for seats in nicer restaurants.
小題3:What conclusion can we draw from the research?
A．It’s common for nicer restaurants to provide good food and play areas.
B．Building play areas is more difficult for restaurants in colder cities.
C．Serving more kinds of foods may help restaurants to make more money.
D．It’s possible for restaurants to find a balance to make both happy.
小題4:What does the writer mainly want to tell us?
A．Cities need to help develop restaurant business.
B．Children are supposed to be much more patient.
C．Restaurants are supposed to give kids some space.
D．Parents need to care more about their kids when eating.

We have to accept the truth: Sometimes, we just want to shout out loud.
For example, we all have days like this: our dog has made a mess on the floor we just cleaned, or our friend called to tell us he or she couldn’t come at the last minute when we had cooked dinner for him or her. We may be really angry but we tried to bear things like those. According to ancient Chinese wisdom, we should shout in a loud voice instead of keeping silent. In fact, it’s good for our health.
“Chinese people have passed on the practice from ancient times to now as a part of traditional medicine,” said Mrs. Li, a 60-year-old woman from Hangzhou. “My parents taught me to do this. It’s a part of our folk（民間的）culture. ”
Mrs. Li is a member of a group of people who love shouting. Each morning, she and some of her friends climb to the top of a hill and let out loud shouts before starting their daily exercise. They believe that shouting is good exercise for their lungs（肺）and it brings them a lot of fun.
“Sometimes I shout out and other shout back,” said Mrs. Gu, another shouting lover. “It makes you happy. You laugh and then you feel very comfortable. ”
Dr. Peter Calafiura, an American doctor, agrees that shouting can have a positive influence on people’s health.
So, next time you start your morning run, why not try to shout out first? It will make you healthier.
