I got so confused(困惑的) and I didn’t know what to do. I sometimes felt like crying, but I kept telling myself never to 7 .
I started to learn English hard. At the end of the year I could understand, read, speak and write English. The next year I 8 my friend Jack.

Mr. Chen living next door to us has a habit of drinking. The best present to him, of course, is wine. Now his eldest son brought him a bottle of Mao Tai. He was glad and drank it up, then wrote “105” on the corner of the trademark(商标)with a pencil, meaning he had already drunk 105 bottles of the famous wine. Two days later, a stranger came and offered(打算) to pay 5 yuan for the empty Mao Tai bottle. Mr. Chen was pleased and sold it. Several days later, his second son brought him another bottle of Mao Tai.

Boredom is something to experience. If kids don't understand this at a young age, they're in for an unpleasant surprise. School, let's face it, can be dull (枯燥的), and it isn't actually the teacher's job to entertain(娱乐) as well as educate.
In a much-read story, The Relentlessness of Modern Parenting, Claire Cain Miller referred to a recent study that found that regardless of class, income or race, parents believed that “children who were bored after school should take part in extracurricular(课外的)activities, and that parents who were busy should stop their task and draw with their children if asked."
Parents preparing for a long car ride are like army officers planning a complex land maneuver(演习)with the help of games and movies played on iPads and smartphones. What did parents in the 1970s do when kids were bored Nothing! They let them breathe in gas fumes. And since it wasn't actually for wearing, play with the broken safety belt. If you complained about being bored back then, you were really asking for it. “Clean your room,” you might get. Was this fun No. Was it helpful Yes.
Because things happen when you're bored. Some of the most boring jobs I've had were also the most creative. While checking out food at the supermarket, I invented stories about people's purchases (购买之物). The man buying eggplant and a six-pack of beer at 9 p.m.: Which was the must-get thing and which the impulse (冲动) purchase How did my former fifth-grade teacher feel about my observing her weekly purchase of cookies
The ability to do with boredom, not surprisingly, is connected with the ability to focus. Research has shown that people with attention disorders are particularly poor in dealing with boredom.
It's especially important that kids get bored - and be allowed to stay bored-when they're young. It shouldn't be considered “a problem” to be avoided or removed by the higher-ups, but instead something kids deal with on their own. We've stopped training children to do this. Rather than teach them to understand material that is duller, teachers spend more time inventing ways to “attract” students. But surely teaching children to stand boredom will prepare them for a more realistic future.
( )1. What is the finding of the study mentioned by Claire Cain Miller
A. School kids find it hard to stand boredom.
B. People are too busy to draw with their kids.
C. Extracurricular activities are gaining popularity.
D. Parents are trying their best to make their kids have fun.
( )2. What did parents in the 1970s usually do when kids were bored on a long car ride
A. They played with them. B. They left them alone.
C. They told them about famous movies.
D. They asked them to pay attention to safety.
( )3.Why does the author share her experience at the supermarket
A. To show customers' purchasing habits.
B. To show what a difficult life she was living.
C. To show boredom and jobs go hand in hand.
D.To show the connection between boredom and creativity.
( )4.What would be the best title for the text
A. Kids have enough fun B. Life is a boring journey
C. Let kids get bored again D. Turn boredom into entertainment

As prices and building costs keep rising, the“do-it-yourself”(DIY) trend in the USA
continues to grow.
“We needed furniture for our living room,”says John Ross, “and we just didn’t have enough money to buy it. So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs.”John got married six months ago, and like many young people these days, they are struggling to make a home at a time when the cost of living is very high.

country are doing everything they can so that they can fight with the high cost of living. If you want to become a“do-it-yourselfer”, you can go to DIY classes. And for those who don’t have time to take a course, there are books that tell you how you can do things yourself.
