文档简介
Test 1
When you say, “You shouldn't do that，” to a teenager, your feedback (反馈) is likely to be met with an eye roll. By the time kids turn into teens, they don't think they need much help from adults — especially their parents. __1__
It's important for your teens to be able to hear constructive criticism without automatically becoming defensive. __2__ They'll need your advice on how they can improve their chances of success. But before they can take that advice, they'll have to be open to listening to it. __3__ Every time you give your teens constructive criticism, you give them an opportunity to grow and change.
If you're offering constructive feedback, view your role as a guide. Point out what your teen did well while adding what she/he could do better next time. Besides, point out mistakes in a gentle manner. It can help them see that mistakes aren't something they should be ashamed of. __4__ They can learn how to bounce back from failure.
__5__ If your teens don't trust you when you are giving them feedback, they won't listen to what you have to say. Rather than thinking about how to apply your feedback to their life, they'll invest their energy into thinking why your advice doesn't matter. If your teens respect you, they'll have respect for your opinion.
It must be noted that after you've expressed your concern, ask your teens for their opinion. Showing a willingness to listen to them can go a long way toward encouraging them to listen to you.
A．Listen to your teens' opinion.
B．It could help them become a better person.
C.Instead, they can use it as a learning opportunity.
D．Your teens need to know how to improve their social skills.

Test 2
There are hundreds of genres (流派) of music, so while some might like one kind, others might like something completely different. Why do people like different kinds of music
__1__ At the same time, music can also help us feel like part of a group or a culture, especially one that shares an interest in a certain kind of music.
Music can also be nostalgic, that is, it creates a kind of longing for the past. Musicians leave behind a footprint with their music.__2__ Even long after the musicians are gone, people still find something in the musicians' recordings that they can enjoy.
We may also find that the music we like is strongly tied to our memory. Maybe there was a song that someone sang to us when we were little that brings up good memories. __3__
When we listen to music that we like, a chemical called dopamine is sometimes released in the brain, which can make us feel good. __4__ There are some algorithms (算法) today that can help pick up on the kind of music we like. When we are streaming music, some programs will let us like or dislike songs.
People's taste in music can remain the same in their whole life or it can change many times. But the truth is, we don't know all the exact answers to why people like different kinds of music—or sports, or food, or colors. __5__ We are all different people who like different things.

B．Music can be a part of our identity.

Test 4
How I Improved My Life in 2022
By the turn of 2022,I thought I was living mindfully and rather sustainably.I had been composting(施堆肥) fruit and vegetable leftovers,and repairing my own clothes.But as life was easing back into normal,certain aspects made me feel uncomfortable,like the amount of plastic being thrown away. 1 These feelings made me realize there was still room for improvement and I was up for it throughout the year.

Establish a morning routine.Waking up early comes with its own set of benefits,namely a morning routine.I do some morning reading before I brush,followed by my walk.Then,I cycle for 20 minutes before I shower. 5 Meanwhile,they keep my evenings free so that I can meet friends,read,or connect with family,and slowly prepare my body to rest as night approaches.

Test 6
A major benefit of growing your own tomatoes is variety.If you visit a garden center,you will find seeds and small starter plants for yellow tomatoes,purple tomatoes,huge tomatoes,and even very small tomatoes.
1 The most important things are to give the plants plenty of water,well-draining soil,heat and light.It is best to grow tomatoes in a place that receives at least six hours of sunlight each day.Removing weeds will keep pests and diseases away while giving the plants enough nutrients to produce fruit.
Tomatoes grow best in soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 6.8.If the pH reading is lower than 6.0,you can add about 2 cups of dolomitic lime (石灰) into the soil for each plant.
If you want to grow really big tomatoes,try following these seven tips from expert growers:Select tomato seeds with names like Big Zac or Bull’s Heart. 2
Start seeds early indoors and re-plant them into larger containers several times before moving them outdoors. 3 removing leaves from the bottom one-third of plants and burying stems up to the next set of leaves.This will produce stronger plants.
Remove new flowers that develop at the top of the plant when older fruits near the bottom begin to grow. 4 Pay close attention!Observe the plants daily for pests and diseases.React quickly to prevent problems.
Remove the small growths where the plant’s stems and branches meet.This will prevent them from taking away nutrients and shading developing fruit under them.
5 instead of letting them develop into a shorter,wider shrub (灌木).
Finally,water,fertilize and weed!
A.Plant them deep each time,
B.Rich soil benefits the growth,
C.Tomatoes are not difficult to grow.
D.Skills are demanding in growing tomatoes,
E.Cut back the plants to keep only one main branch,
F.They are genetically designed to produce large fruit.
G.This will force the plant to produce fewer but larger tomatoes.
Test 7
Family meals are important and connect family members. 1 There is no need to worry about going to school,work and more.
Studies have shown family mealtime increases positive social skills,school engagement and decreases the frequency of negative behaviors. 2 Trying new food or not restricting on food is encouraged.Children who engage in family mealtime are less likely to have eating disorders.In addition,those who share frequent family meals are more likely to eat a larger number of fruits and vegetables and be less picky about food.
3 For example,we need to consider the budget,the time for meal preparation,the availability of recommended foods or supplements(补充物品)at a typical grocery store. 4 Members may have various cultural or dietary preferences.In view of this,we should make sure that the eating plan offers nutritional value for different calorie and nutritional needs—for people of different ages,different activity levels and health conditions.
Healthy eating should be a family affair,and some recommended diets will help you reach that goal by highlighting eating plans that are safe,flexible and nutritious for everyone at the table.In addition,the foods in the diets can be purchased fresh,canned or frozen. 5
A.They prefer junk food like hamburgers,fried chicken.
B.A team of health experts think family meals are difficult.
C.They can get people to relax and make their relationship closer.
D.It also offers an opportunity to set healthy eating habits for kids.
E.Thus,it is convenient and easy for families to have family meals.
F.We also considered how adaptable this diet would be for a whole family.
G.We should have a balanced diet and pay attention to what we have every day.

A major benefit of growing your own tomatoes is variety.If you visit a garden center,you will find seeds and small starter plants for yellow tomatoes,purple tomatoes,huge tomatoes,and even very small tomatoes.
1 The most important things are to give the plants plenty of water,well-draining soil,heat and light.It is best to grow tomatoes in a place that receives at least six hours of sunlight each day.Removing weeds will keep pests and diseases away while giving the plants enough nutrients to produce fruit.

Remove new flowers that develop at the top of the plant when older fruits near the bottom begin to grow. 4 Pay close attention!Observe the plants daily for pests and diseases.React quickly to prevent problems.
Remove the small growths where the plant’s stems and branches meet.This will prevent them from taking away nutrients and shading developing fruit under them.
