How to Communicate with Our Parents
Communication with parents is one of the first things we have done since we were born． As we grow older, we’ll find it’s not easy to communicate with our parents openly and effectively. So what should we do when communicating with them Here are some of my ideas.
Firstly, we can make a list of things our parents and we disagree about most. Try to find out the reason why we disagree with each other. Accept each other’s ideas little by little. If we still have disagreements, we’d better not get too angry. Secondly, we should talk with them more! Sharing ideas can make us closer. Besides, we should also learn how to really listen. Listening is a skill that must be learned and practiced. Finally, be sure to be polite. We are a family in which everyone is loved and cared for.八年级（下） Units 3—4

Students from Taizhou Middle School, Jiangsu Province, experience farming during their labor (劳动) course. As we all know, the life skills like cooking and painting are important and should be taught as part of labor education.
On June 3, 2020, the Ministry of Education (MOE) (教育部) gave a document (文件) showing the revised curriculum (修改后的方案) for senior high schools across the country. Labor education includes housework, school labor and community voluntary (志愿的) services and so on.
“Labor education must be carried out (实施) with the purpose to make the right view (观点) of the world, life and values and develop an interest in doing chores,” said Vice-Minister of Education Zheng Fuzhi.
According to China Youth Daily, the labor course will take six credits (学分) — the same as foreign language and physics. Voluntary service, as part of labor education, would take two credits. The MOE also asks schools to make sure 40 hours of voluntary service during the full three school years.
According to Xinhua, adding labor education was out of care that the country’s young people do too little housework and that they think labor jobs aren’t important. Because of a lot of school pressure, schools pay more attention to the course of education, and parents may think that the chores waste their kids’ time.
According to a survey, middle school students in China only spend 12 minutes a day on chores, compared with 72 minutes in the US, 42 minutes in South Korea and 30 minutes in France.
However, doing housework does not distract (使分心) young people. Instead, they are necessary for developing a strong working spirit, according to Julie LythcottHaims, the writer of How to Raise an Adult. “The earlier you started, the better...” he said.
32. If you ______, you can get the credits of the labor course.
A. do homework B. do volunteer work
C. go traveling D. learn to drive a car
33. What did Zheng Fuzhi talk about
A. The time to carry out labor education.
B. The way to carry out labor education.
C. The purpose to carry out labor education.
D. The place to carry out labor education.
34. Who spend the most time on housework
A. Students in China. B. Students in America.
C. Students in South Korea. D. Students in France.
35. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Parents should learn the life skills.
B. Labor is as important as foreign language.
C. Young people should pay attention to the course of education.
D. It’s necessary for the students to develop strong working spirits.
IV. 任务型阅读。
Teens will finally grow up some day, leaving their parents and facing the challenges in life alone, so they should learn basic life skills and form good working habits.
The government has been trying to pay attention to the importance of hardworking spirit education (劳动教育). But this has been overlooked in recent years. Many teens do not value the importance of working hard. There is a teenager girl named Nancy. She never helps out around the house. Once her mother was on vacation for a week, leaving her alone at home. When her mother came home from vacation, she could not find a clean dish or a clean shirt.
Schools play an important role in teaching students about the value of working hard. Primary and middle schools should provide students with hardworking spirit courses every week. To our joy, some schools have provided each class with a piece of field to plant their favorite vegetables. For example, No.38 Middle School in Hefei, set up a 500-square-meter farm on an open platform (露天平台) of their teaching building. Each class is asked to grow and pick vegetables there.
Parents should also encourage children to learn how to do chores at home. Teens should master one or two life skills every year. These skills can include cooking, washing their own clothes and tiding their rooms. The basic skills may help teens to solve the problems they will meet in the future.
