二、阅读理解
“We said no to the invitation to the birthday party because my child says they're not even friends.”
When I read the above words,I felt heartache.
I know birthday parties can be like a trouble,but let's believe the parents who sent that invitation weren't trying to get more gifts for their kids or make things more complicated (复杂的).
For some kids,managing school and friends is easy.Maybe you have a child who's outgoing,self confident or maybe you have a child who doesn't have any problems.However,for some kids,school and friends can be very difficult.
A birthday party is a fun,exciting and good opportunity.It is a chance for the kid on the sidelines to play with other kids who don't play with him/her at school or who don't call him/her a friend.
Sometimes even when the birthday party and the theme have been decided on and the difficult decision about whom to invite has been made,there can still be doubts.Those invitations can stay untouched in the bottom of the child's backpack for days,because he/she is too scared to hand them out.
I don't know your child,and I don't know you.I do know there are parents who lie awake at night wondering if their child will have the courage to hand out the invitations in the morning;I do know there are parents who hope they can depend on other parents to teach their children to be kind enough to show up.
Maybe you'll never have to be one of the parents who find it hard.I know what that's like,because I have children who find it easy.But I also have a child who doesn't.And because of that,we've become a family that says yes to every invitation we receive.
Sometimes a birthday party invitation is not just a birthday party invitation;it's also an invitation to be a friend.

三、阅读填句
I experienced years of loneliness as a child. 1 His friends teased him about babysitting his sister and his interests were far different from mine. With no other kids of my age in the neighborhood, I had to spend hours by myself.
A bright spot for me turned out to be reading. My love of the written word began early as my mother read to me every evening. 2 I started reading books on my own before age 5 and my mother took me to the public library once a week to borrow several books. I quickly graduated from typical children’s books to ones with fewer pictures and longer chapters. Reading opened new worlds to me. 3
My mother also encouraged me to make what I wanted. I tried making toy cars with cardboard boxes and constructing buildings from leftover cardboard and bits of wood my father gave me. When my mother saw my creations, she told me how creative my designs were. 4 I learned a lot about how to extend the life of objects and transform them into something new and useful. It was a trait(特点) others found helpful, and I soon had friends who wanted to make things with me.
5 My parents made it a point for their two kids to spend time outside, no matter the weather or season. My brother, of course, raced off to be with his friends, while I had plenty to do myself. There was making leaf houses in autumn, ice skating in winter, and so much more. They’re all memories I treasure today.
A. I wasn’t alone any longer.
B. I enjoyed reading stories aloud.
C. I was invited to play with another kid.
D. I loved the colorful photographs in the books.
E. Another habit I formed early was being outdoors.
F. Thus, I began my lifelong interest in making things.
G. My older brother couldn’t be bothered to play with me.

三、阅读填句
1. G。设空处在段中, 应是承前启后句。根据后文可知, 设空处应提及“his”身份, 即G项中的“My older brother”, 且G项“我哥哥懒得和我一起玩”在此起到了承上启下的作用。故选G项。
2. D。根据前句提到“我对文字的爱始于母亲每天晚上给我读故事的时候”可知, D项“我喜欢书中的彩色照片”是对上一句的进一步说明。同时D项中的“书”指代上句提到的母亲每天给我读故事的书。故选D项。
3. A。根据前句提到“阅读为我打开了新世界”可知, A项“我不再孤独”和上句构成了因果关系。故选A项。
4. F。根据前句“当我的母亲看到我的创作时, 她说我的设计很有创意”可知, F项“于是, 我开始对制造东西产生了终生的兴趣”和上句构成因果关系, 我正是在听了母亲那句话后才开始了对制造东西产生兴趣。故选F项。
5. E。根据后句“无论天气或季节, 我的父母都要让他们的两个孩子花时间在户外”可知, E项“我很早养成的另一个习惯是去户外”和前句构成因果关系。作者有去户外的习惯是因为后句提到的父母的影响。故选E项。

Dear Aunt,
I'm sorry to hear that you're not getting on well with your children. Here is my advice.
As an adult, it's necessary to control your anger when your child doesn't see eye to eye with you on most things. The teenagers and the adults should do something to reduce the family tension rather than argue with each other. As a parent, you should try to understand your children under great stress and be concerned about their mental health. Your children are unique and they have a thirst for independence, so you shouldn't often press them to do something. Don't try to design your children's future and try to keep peace and it is likely that you and your children become good friends.
Yours,
Li Hua
