B. Choose the best words and complete the passage. (选择最恰当的单词完成短文)
Today many students have much trouble when they are at school. They are not confident (自信), independent(独立) and patient. For example, some middle school students can get 69 easily and lose temper (发脾气)with their classmates, teachers and parents. How to deal with these problems Here is some experts' 70 to teachers and parents:
You must have enough patience if your children are impatient about everything. Experts find that fishing, 71 music or taking walks is good for children to develop their patience. They suggest parents and teachers give their children some time to do their own thing sand allow them to make their_ 72 about their clothes, hairstyle and hobbies.
As for independence, teachers should help their students to know how to be independent when they are alone at school or outside. First of all, teachers should teach the importance of independence to the students. In the USA, parents never help their children 73 when they fall down. They let their kids start to know how to rely on (依靠)themselves 74 asking them for help They also like to talk with their kids like friends all the time.
Some students don't have confidence in their ability. The experts suggest that parents and teachers can start by 75 more about their kids and respecting their ideas and opinions Parents and teachers can also encourage kids to do something they are good at.
It takes patience and hard work to help children have these good qualities(素养).

We all know that it is important to get exercise. But how can we get e 76 exercise and have fun as well
The answer is: team sports! Team sports are great. When were playing, our friends will encourage us if we are not doing a good job, and there will be friends to give us cool advice on h 77 to play the sports better. Many times, we get to meet and m 78 some new friends!
We play team sports for fun and good health. We play team sports to know about the team spirit. However, some teams try hard to win e 79 game and become very competitive (好竞争的). If we are on such a team, we will have too much pressure(压力山大). And we may even get h 80 if we play too hard.
Sometimes it can be hard to find a team that works for us. But we can always start one by ourselves! Start a team with some of our best friends, find out what kind of sports we like.
And while we're playing team sports, we should remember to play s 81 , too! We need to listen to our parents and teachers b 82 having fun! Safety always comes first.

If you ask someone why he or she wears clothes, the answer will probably be "To keep warm and to cover my body". These are the basic reasons why clothes are won, but people also want to look attractive(有吸引力) and appear successful(成功的) to others.
If people only wore clothes for warmth and to cover their bodies, most clothing would be simple and cheap. In many countries, however, clothing is sometimes very expensive. The main reason for this is not the fabric(面料)or the cost of making the clothes. The clothes are expensive because of fashion.
Successful businessmen, for example, often wear very expensive suits, shirts and ties. Sometimes they pay thousands of dollars for a suit and hundreds of dollars for a tie, it's still a suit and a tie but they pay these prices because of the famous name of the designer(设计师).A suit costing much less would be just as warm and would cover the wearer's body just as well.
Fashion is changing all the time, which means that people who want to be fashionable have to buy new clothes every few months, even if last month's clothes have only been worn once or twice. Some people have closets (柜子) full of clothes that have hardly been worn (破旧) but are no longer in fashion, Being fashionable, therefore, can be a very expensive enjoyment!
63. What are the basic reasons that people wear clothes
A. To cover their bodies and look attractive. B. To keep warm and appear successful.
C. To look attractive and appear successful. D. To keep warm and cover their bodies.
64. According to the passage, what does "fashion" mean
A.季节 B.牢固 C.时尚 D.精致
65. If people don’t wear clothes for , most clothing will be simple and cheap
A. fashion B. warmth C. covering D. the fabric
66. what's the main reason why some clothes are expensive
A. Because of the cost of the fabric. B. Because of the cost of making the clothes.
C. Because successful businessmen make them. D. Because famous designers make them.
67. Why do fashionable people have to keep buying new clothes
A. Because they are changing their minds all the time. B. Because fashion is changing all the time.
C. Because they like to keep their closets full of clothes. D. Because they keep losing the clothes they already have.
68. What DON’ T the writer tell us
A. Clothes can meet(迎合)people's different needs.
B. We should save money to buy expensive clothes.
C. It is expensive to keep fashionable.
