Many parents like twins(双胞胎)a lot. For many years, people think that twins have a secret(秘密的) language. A lot of parents of twins say that their children have a secret way of talking to each other by using some words they don't understand.“The twin language” was very special in people's minds for a long time. However, a study shows that twins hardly have secret languages. So why do people think that
When babies are learning to speak, they often make sounds and their parents don't understand them. For example, a child may call a bottle“baba”. Since twins are learning the language at the same time, they often make the same mistakes. So, if one of the twins calls a bottle“baba”, the other possibly starts to do the same. Soon, the twins are using the same incorrect word. Parents may think of this as a secret language. In fact, the twins are learning new words like any other child.
A study shows that true secret languages don't happen very often. They happen because babies spend a lot of time alone and don't have many people talking around them.
Some studies show that it often takes longer for twins to begin speaking than for non-twin children. This could b é because parents of twins can be busier than parents with just one baby.So they don't have much time to spend with their twin babies. Because twins understand each other's language mistakes, it may take them longer to learn words right.
As twins get older, like many non-twin children, they may make secret words for things they don't want their parents to understand!
( )9. The underlined word“incorrect”means“ ”.
A. wrong B. useful C. funny D. exciting
( )10. The true secret languages happen .
A. when the babies want to talk with others
B. when the babies stay alone for a long time
C. when the babies feel sick and want some help
D. when the babies want more care and cry for it
( )11. Which of the following ideas does the writer mention(提到)
A. The secret languages happen very often.
B. Twins’ parents know the secret languages well.
C. Twins never make the same mistakes in learning languages.
D. It takes twins longer to learn words right.
( )12. What is the passage about
A. Twins’ hobbies. B. Twins’ health.

It is common for us to have problems with our parents.(17) We should come up with good ideas to deal with it. Here is some advice. We may make peace with our parents after trying it.
First, listen carefully. Sometimes, guessing parents’ words may drive us crazy, so we refuse to talk with them. However, that may cause some misunderstandings (误解).(18) For example, we just need to care about how to solve the problem instead of caring about some meaningless words. Let the meaningless information go. Later, we will just talk about the key problem.
(19) Don't bring up conflicts(矛盾) that happened before, or the problem can't be solved in time. That may make it more difficult to solve the problem. We should make the topic of the discussion clear so that it will better help us have a good talk.
Last but not least, we should show our feelings and opinions on the problem. We. shouldn't try to find out who is right or wrong, or point fingers at our parents angrily. What we need to do is show our own real ideas. Then our parents can understand our needs. Sometimes the problem can't be solved at once. (20) This helps us make right decisions.

Do you ever find yourself in a situation where your two friends are in a fight, and you have nothing to do with it You are caught in the middle, feeling like you can only choose between the two. Choosing one friend can make the other feel sad.
If both friends spend time talking about their problems, they can understand each other,and that's what I did when I was in this situation. Here is some helpful advice.
Let them cool off. Giving each friend some time and space is the most important. Talking to them when they're really angry could make things worse, so it's useful to let them calm down(平静下来).
Let them talk to you. Hearing both sides of the fight will help you better understand the situation. And this shows that you're being a good friend, taking time to listen, and showing that you care a lot.
Keep your neutrality(中立状态). If they still refuse to work things out, it's okay. You can't always fix their problems. You can let them know that you care about both of them,and that even if they can't solve their problems, you still want to be friends with both. If you would like to listen to your friends, they should do the same for you.
41. How will the other friend feel if you don't choose him
