阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
We often talk about ourselves as if we have permanent genetic defects(缺陷) that can never be changed. “I’m impatient.” “I’m always behind.” “I always put things 16 !” You’ve surely heard them. Maybe you’ve used them to describe 17 .
These comments may come from stories about us that have been 18 for years—often from 19 childhood. These stories may have no 20 in fact. But they can set low expectations for us. As a child, my mother said to me, “Marshall, you have no mechanical （操作机械的） skills, and you will never have any mechanical skills for the rest of your life. ” How did these expectations 21 my development? I was never 22 to work on cars or be around 23 . When I was 18, I took the US Army’s Mechanical Aptitude Test. My scores were in the bottom for the entire nation!
Six years later, 24 , I was at California University, working on my doctor’s degree. One of my professors, Dr. Bob Tannbaum, asked me to write down things I did well and things I couldn’t do. For my strong points, I 25 down, “research, writing, analysis, and speaking. ” For the 26 , I wrote, “I have no mechanical skills. ”
Bob asked me how I knew I had no mechanical skills. I explained my life 27 and told him about my 28 performance on the Army test. Bob then asked, “ 29 is it that you can solve 30 mathematical problems, but you can’t solve easy mechanical problems?”
Suddenly I realized that I didn’t 31 from some sort of genetic defect. I was just living out expectations that I had chosen to 32 . At that point, it wasn’t just my family and friends who had been 33 my belief that I was mechanically hopeless. And it wasn’t just the Army test, either. I was the one who kept telling myself, “You can’t do this!” I realized that as long as I kept saying that, it was going to remain true. 34 , if we don’t treat ourselves as if we have genetic defects that we can never get over, we can do well in almost 35 we choose.

三、阅读理解
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
A young, dark haired woman appeared in the doorway.
“Good morning, children! My name is Mrs. Murray. I am replacing your regular teacher,” she said, as she wrote her name on the blackboard. “I will enjoy getting to know each of you personally, over the next few months.”
The children in the class remained silent, as this was totally unexpected.
“Come on, someone say something,” she thought nervously. The children were too quiet.
“This probably won’t last long,” she thought, smiling kindly at them. Grade Three students were normally very lively and seldom, if ever silent. “If you have problems, please come to me. I will help you.”
The children gradually began to relax, but not one of them spoke.
“How can I get them to accept me?” she wondered. Suddenly, she had an idea.
“Your first homework will be to write a new song. To make it even more exciting, challenging and fun for everyone, it must be a new love song for Valentine’s Day. The winner will be awarded a prize, at our class party.”
The children looked amazed, but pleased.
“You may sing your new song, or play it with a musical instrument.”
As if something had suddenly awakened the children, the silence in the room ended suddenly.
“A love song?” a boy asked, smiling sweetly, at his new teacher.
“We each have to write one,” said a dark haired girl, “We never had to do that before.”
“And perform it too!” a red haired boy responded, laughing aloud. “I love it! Me, sing a love song?”
“Want to know what the first prize will be?”
Immediately, every hand in the room went up.
Mrs. Murray reached into her handbag and pulled out a harmonica（口琴）.
“What do you think of this?” She waited.
“I am also a music teacher, so I will be able to help you write your new love songs.” added Mrs. Murray, smiling at her new students. Obviously, her smile and intelligent idea about the homework impressed every student in the class.
1. The children remained silent at the beginning because __________.
they missed their former teacher
they didn’t accept the new-comer
they were surprised at the situation
they were waiting for their homework.
2. We can learn from the passage that __________.
most children in the class were good at performing music
it was the prize that made the students accept their new teacher
children in the class liked to write their own love songs
the students in this class are not as active as other Grade Three students
3. Which of the following words can best describe Mrs. Murray?
Kind and curious.
Helpful and clever.
Faithful and honest.
Patient and humorous.
B
Last week, my granddaughter started kindergarten, and I wished her every success. But part of me didn’t. I actually wanted her to fail in some ways because I believe that failure can be good for our learning process. Success is proving that you can do something that you already know you can do, or doing something correctly the first time, which can often be a problematic (存在问题的) victory. First-time success is usually a fluke (侥幸). First-time failure, by contrast, is supposed to be the natural order of things. Failure is how we learn.
In Africa they describe a good cook as “She who has broken many pots.” If you’ve spent enough time in the kitchen to have broken a lot of pots, probably you know a fair amount about cooking. I once had dinner with a group of cooks, and they spent time comparing knife wounds and burn scars. They knew how much credibility (可信) their failures gave them.
I earn my living by writing a daily newspaper column. Each week I am aware that one column I write is going to be the worst column. I try my best every day. I have learned to cherish that column. A successful column usually means that I am discussing my familiar topic, writing in a style I am used to or saying the same things as anyone else but in a fancy way.
My younger daughter is a trapeze artist. She spent three years putting together a show, and she did it successfully for years. There was no reason for her to change it but she did anyway. She said she was no longer learning anything new and she was bored. And if she was bored, there was no point in subjecting (使……服从于) her body to all that stress. She risked failure and great public embarrassment in order to feed her soul.
My granddaughter is a perfectionist. She will feel her failures, and I will want to comfort her. But I will also, I hope, remind her of what she learned, and how she can do better next time. I hope I can tell her, though, that it’s not the end of the world. Indeed, with luck, it is the beginning.
4. Why did the author want his granddaughter to fail?
A. Success is boring though beneficial.
B. She would learn more from failure.
C. It’s impossible to do everything successfully.
D. He wanted her to be strong enough to face hardships.
5. What’s the author’s attitude toward his daughter changing her show?
A. Negative B. Worried C. Positive D. Ambiguous(模凌两可的)
6. The author develops the article mainly by __________.
A. giving examples
B. following the time order
C. comparing different opinions
D. presenting a cause and analyzing its effects
C
Israel has passed a law banning the use of underweight models in advertising. Known as the “Photoshop Law”, it also requires that agencies tell their audience if they’ve digitally changed pictures to make models look thinner.
The new law forbids the use of models with a body mass index of 18.5 or less, a standard based on internationally accepted measures. The figure matches the set of fixed limits by the U. S. Department of Health.
The law doesn’t set a money amount that can be gained in court from such a suit. Lawmakers realize that it may be a long and difficult process to prove in court that a company broke the new law, but they feel that simply having the law in place will accomplish what they want; stopping advertising companies from continuing to influence Israelis with images of unhealthy-looking models as the gold standard of beauty.
Some modeling agencies in Israel aren’t happy. They say that the indexes on which the law is based are arbitrary (任意的)and are not suitable for every model. Many models who are totally healthy girls might be disqualified because of the law. Some models are naturally thin and unable to gain weight and the new law would unfairly prevent them from finding jobs.
However, plus-size American supermodel Emme told CNN that she thinks the law will cause other countries to make similar measures against showing underweight models. “I think this is fantastic because so many young women and men are suffering to look in a way that is unrealistic and unhealthy,” she said.
7.What is “Photoshop Law” about?
A. Banning the use of underweight models.
B. Banning underweight models in advertising.
C. Banning changing pictures digitally.
D. Banning models in advertising.
8. The underlined word “suit” in Paragraph 3 means .
A . a set of clothing
B. a group of rooms
C. an action in court
D. a performance in advertising
9. What can we know from the passage?
A. All models are happy about the law.
B. All advertising agencies are happy about the law.
C. The law makes no sense.
D. There are arguments over the beauty standard of models.
D
When an ant dies, other ants take it out of the nest, often within an hour after its death. This behavior interests scientists and they wonder how ants know for sure—and so soon—that another ant is dead.
One scientist recently came up with a way to explain this ant behavior. Dong-Hwan Choe is a biologist, a scientist who studies animals and plants. He found that ants have a chemical on the outside of their bodies that signals to other ants, “I'm dead—take me away” when it is dead.
But there's a question to answer: As we know, if an ant is dead, it stops moving. But when an ant is sleeping or knocked unconscious, it is also not moving. However, other ants don't move the living ant out of the nest. How do they know this ant is not dead? Choe found that ants have another chemical on their bodies, which tells nearby ants something like, “Wait—I'm not dead yet” when it is not dead. Choe suspects that when an ant dies, the chemical that says, “Wait— I'm not dead yet” quickly goes away. When other ants detect the “dead” chemical without the “not dead yet” chemical, they move away the body.
To test his theory, Choe and his team put different chemicals on ants. When the scientists used the “I'm dead” chemical, other ants quickly moved the treated ant away. When the scientists used the “Wait—I'm not dead yet” chemical, other ants left the treated ant alone. Choe believes this behavior shows that the “not dead yet” chemical overrides the “dead” chemical when picked up by other ants. And that when an ant dies, the “not dead yet” chemical dies away. Other nearby ants then notice the remaining “dead” chemical and remove the body from the nest.
Understanding this behavior can help scientists figure out how to stop ants from invading new places and causing problems.
10. What is the fun_ction of the first paragraph?
A. Leading the following paragraphs. B. Showing the main idea of the passage.
C. Introducing the background of the passage. D. Giving a summary of the passage.
11. Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word “overrides” in the fourth paragraph?
A. is weaker than B. is stronger than C. is better than D. is worse than
12. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Living ants can also be taken away when they are not moving.
B. When an ant dies, it can tell others using a certain chemical.
C. A living ant can pretend to be dead using a special chemical.
D. Ants often use chemicals to communicate with each other.

Each time I see a balloon, my mind flies back to a memory of when I was a six-year-old girl. It was a rainy Sunday and my father had recently died. I asked my mom if Dad had gone to heaven. "Yes, honey. Of course." she said.
"Can we write him a letter?"
She paused, the longest pause of my short life, and answered, "Yes."
My heart jumped. "How? Does the mailman go there?" I asked.
"No, but I have an idea." Mom drove to a party store and returned with a red balloon. I asked her what it was for.
"Just wait, honey. You'll see." Mom told me to write my letter. Eagerly, I got my favorite pen, and poured out my six-year-old heart in the form of blue ink. I wrote about my day, what I learned at school, how Mom was doing, and even about what happened in a story I had read. For a few minutes it was as if Dad were still alive. I gave the letter to Mom. She read it over, and a smile crossed her face.
She made a hole in the corner of the letter where she looped the balloon string. We went outside and she gave me the balloon. It was still raining.
"Okay, on the count of three, let go. One, two, three."
The balloon, carrying my letter, darted upward against the rain. We watched until it was swallowed by the mass of clouds.
Later I realized, like the balloon, that Dad had never let his sickness get him down. He was strong. No matter what he suffered, he'd persevere, dart up, and finally transcend this cold world and his sick body. He rose into sky and became something beautiful. I watched until the balloon disappeared into the gray and white and I prayed that his strength was hereditary. I prayed to be a balloon.
13．When the girl asked her mother if they could write to her father, her mother _________.

Things adults should learn from kids
Children can teach adults a lot. In other words, there are many things adults can learn from children. For example, kids tend to show love. Every action they do for parents, friends, pets, and people they like, is filled with love. They don’t think twice before loving, and they just love. So adults can learn this: the best way to receive love is to first give it. Unfortunately, most of us have developed the habit of questioning everything. We often try too hard with love, and associate it with weakness. Actually, the only way to experience love is to have minimal expectations, and love your dear ones unconditionally.
Kids never hide emotions. They cry when they hurt themselves, and express displeasure when things don’t go their way. On the contrary, we adults always try to hide our feelings, and never express ourselves sincerely. We often feel happy for others with negative thoughts in our hearts. Crying or expressing oneself is what normal people do. Never hold back tears or happiness. If you want to cry, cry your eyes out, and if you are happy or pleased about something, don’t be afraid to show or share it.
Kids are curious little beings, who always try to understand their surroundings by completely involving themselves in every task they undertake. They have a huge appetite for knowledge, and ask lots of questions every day. This curious nature guides their life, and often leads them to simple yet brilliant discoveries. Are adults as curious as kids? Well, most of us aren’t. Also, they no longer have the thirst for knowledge, and don’t even ask questions if they don’t understand something. Adults often forget that it isn’t talent or skill but our curiosity and a huge appetite for knowledge that makes us worthy.
Kids live in the present, and give 100% to any task they are doing. They never worry about the future, and since they are so busy enjoying their present, life is great today. However, with a job, money, and relationships, it does get hard for an adult to enjoy life. The best thing to do here is to change oneself, and if that isn’t possible, we can live like a child. Just don’t bother about the future, because it isn’t in your control. The only thing you can control is your present, so work hard toward it.
As kids treat everyone equally, they make friends soon and also play a lot with them. Through playing, they make a lot of astonishing discoveries about their friends and surroundings. They also learn a lot about life, because they are out in the open and are playing with all their hearts. So how long has it been since you played outdoors for fun as an adult? Not some serious sporting event or activity, just kicking a ball, running in the park, or any other silly game! Playing doesn’t mean that you have to achieve a purpose. Sometimes, it is healthy to just have some fun.

Possible version:
Boys and girls:
We high school students do have some growing pains, but we can get rid of them correctly and wisely. First, some of us are upset about their body styles and looks. It’s unnecessary and it’s not important at all. We needn’t care about it. It is one’s inner beauty that matters. Second, some of us have fewer friends. I think being open-minded and friendly will do you good. We sometimes seem to be misunderstood by our teachers or classmates. Faced with this, we can find a proper time to have a heart-to-heart talk with them, trying to remove the misunderstanding. Third, some of us often quarrel with our parents because of the generation gap between us. It is necessary for us to communicate with our parents after school, telling them what we think or what we want to do in the future. Last of all, we may fall behind others, which makes us stressed. Actually we can encourage ourselves to work efficiently, full of determination.
That’s all. Thank you.

A
A young, dark haired woman appeared in the doorway.
“Good morning, children! My name is Mrs. Murray. I am replacing your regular teacher,” she said, as she wrote her name on the blackboard. “I will enjoy getting to know each of you personally, over the next few months.”
The children in the class remained silent, as this was totally unexpected.
“Come on, someone say something,” she thought nervously. The children were too quiet.
“This probably won’t last long,” she thought, smiling kindly at them. Grade Three students were normally very lively and seldom, if ever silent. “If you have problems, please come to me. I will help you.”
The children gradually began to relax, but not one of them spoke.
“How can I get them to accept me?” she wondered. Suddenly, she had an idea.
“Your first homework will be to write a new song. To make it even more exciting, challenging and fun for everyone, it must be a new love song for Valentine’s Day. The winner will be awarded a prize, at our class party.”
The children looked amazed, but pleased.
“You may sing your new song, or play it with a musical instrument.”
As if something had suddenly awakened the children, the silence in the room ended suddenly.
“A love song?” a boy asked, smiling sweetly, at his new teacher.
“We each have to write one,” said a dark haired girl, “We never had to do that before.”
“And perform it too!” a red haired boy responded, laughing aloud. “I love it! Me, sing a love song?”
“Want to know what the first prize will be?”
Immediately, every hand in the room went up.
Mrs. Murray reached into her handbag and pulled out a harmonica（口琴）.
“What do you think of this?” She waited.
“I am also a music teacher, so I will be able to help you write your new love songs.” added Mrs. Murray, smiling at her new students. Obviously, her smile and intelligent idea about the homework impressed every student in the class.

it was the prize that made the students accept their new teacher
children in the class liked to write their own love songs
the students in this class are not as active as other Grade Three students
3. Which of the following words can best describe Mrs. Murray?

Last week, my granddaughter started kindergarten, and I wished her every success. But part of me didn’t. I actually wanted her to fail in some ways because I believe that failure can be good for our learning process. Success is proving that you can do something that you already know you can do, or doing something correctly the first time, which can often be a problematic (存在问题的) victory. First-time success is usually a fluke (侥幸). First-time failure, by contrast, is supposed to be the natural order of things. Failure is how we learn.
In Africa they describe a good cook as “She who has broken many pots.” If you’ve spent enough time in the kitchen to have broken a lot of pots, probably you know a fair amount about cooking. I once had dinner with a group of cooks, and they spent time comparing knife wounds and burn scars. They knew how much credibility (可信) their failures gave them.
I earn my living by writing a daily newspaper column. Each week I am aware that one column I write is going to be the worst column. I try my best every day. I have learned to cherish that column. A successful column usually means that I am discussing my familiar topic, writing in a style I am used to or saying the same things as anyone else but in a fancy way.
My younger daughter is a trapeze artist. She spent three years putting together a show, and she did it successfully for years. There was no reason for her to change it but she did anyway. She said she was no longer learning anything new and she was bored. And if she was bored, there was no point in subjecting (使……服从于) her body to all that stress. She risked failure and great public embarrassment in order to feed her soul.
My granddaughter is a perfectionist. She will feel her failures, and I will want to comfort her. But I will also, I hope, remind her of what she learned, and how she can do better next time. I hope I can tell her, though, that it’s not the end of the world. Indeed, with luck, it is the beginning.
4. Why did the author want his granddaughter to fail?
A. Success is boring though beneficial.
B. She would learn more from failure.
C. It’s impossible to do everything successfully.
D. He wanted her to be strong enough to face hardships.
5. What’s the author’s attitude toward his daughter changing her show?
A. Negative B. Worried C. Positive D. Ambiguous(模凌两可的)
6. The author develops the article mainly by __________.
A. giving examples
B. following the time order
C. comparing different opinions
D. presenting a cause and analyzing its effects
C
Israel has passed a law banning the use of underweight models in advertising. Known as the “Photoshop Law”, it also requires that agencies tell their audience if they’ve digitally changed pictures to make models look thinner.
The new law forbids the use of models with a body mass index of 18.5 or less, a standard based on internationally accepted measures. The figure matches the set of fixed limits by the U. S. Department of Health.
The law doesn’t set a money amount that can be gained in court from such a suit. Lawmakers realize that it may be a long and difficult process to prove in court that a company broke the new law, but they feel that simply having the law in place will accomplish what they want; stopping advertising companies from continuing to influence Israelis with images of unhealthy-looking models as the gold standard of beauty.
Some modeling agencies in Israel aren’t happy. They say that the indexes on which the law is based are arbitrary (任意的)and are not suitable for every model. Many models who are totally healthy girls might be disqualified because of the law. Some models are naturally thin and unable to gain weight and the new law would unfairly prevent them from finding jobs.
However, plus-size American supermodel Emme told CNN that she thinks the law will cause other countries to make similar measures against showing underweight models. “I think this is fantastic because so many young women and men are suffering to look in a way that is unrealistic and unhealthy,” she said.
7.What is “Photoshop Law” about?
A. Banning the use of underweight models.
B. Banning underweight models in advertising.
C. Banning changing pictures digitally.
D. Banning models in advertising.
8. The underlined word “suit” in Paragraph 3 means .
A . a set of clothing
B. a group of rooms
C. an action in court
D. a performance in advertising
9. What can we know from the passage?
A. All models are happy about the law.
B. All advertising agencies are happy about the law.
C. The law makes no sense.
D. There are arguments over the beauty standard of models.
D
When an ant dies, other ants take it out of the nest, often within an hour after its death. This behavior interests scientists and they wonder how ants know for sure—and so soon—that another ant is dead.
One scientist recently came up with a way to explain this ant behavior. Dong-Hwan Choe is a biologist, a scientist who studies animals and plants. He found that ants have a chemical on the outside of their bodies that signals to other ants, “I'm dead—take me away” when it is dead.
But there's a question to answer: As we know, if an ant is dead, it stops moving. But when an ant is sleeping or knocked unconscious, it is also not moving. However, other ants don't move the living ant out of the nest. How do they know this ant is not dead? Choe found that ants have another chemical on their bodies, which tells nearby ants something like, “Wait—I'm not dead yet” when it is not dead. Choe suspects that when an ant dies, the chemical that says, “Wait— I'm not dead yet” quickly goes away. When other ants detect the “dead” chemical without the “not dead yet” chemical, they move away the body.
To test his theory, Choe and his team put different chemicals on ants. When the scientists used the “I'm dead” chemical, other ants quickly moved the treated ant away. When the scientists used the “Wait—I'm not dead yet” chemical, other ants left the treated ant alone. Choe believes this behavior shows that the “not dead yet” chemical overrides the “dead” chemical when picked up by other ants. And that when an ant dies, the “not dead yet” chemical dies away. Other nearby ants then notice the remaining “dead” chemical and remove the body from the nest.
Understanding this behavior can help scientists figure out how to stop ants from invading new places and causing problems.
10. What is the fun_ction of the first paragraph?
A. Leading the following paragraphs. B. Showing the main idea of the passage.

11. Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word “overrides” in the fourth paragraph?
A. is weaker than B. is stronger than C. is better than D. is worse than
12. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Living ants can also be taken away when they are not moving.
B. When an ant dies, it can tell others using a certain chemical.
C. A living ant can pretend to be dead using a special chemical.
D. Ants often use chemicals to communicate with each other.

Each time I see a balloon, my mind flies back to a memory of when I was a six-year-old girl. It was a rainy Sunday and my father had recently died. I asked my mom if Dad had gone to heaven. "Yes, honey. Of course." she said.
"Can we write him a letter?"
She paused, the longest pause of my short life, and answered, "Yes."
My heart jumped. "How? Does the mailman go there?" I asked.
"No, but I have an idea." Mom drove to a party store and returned with a red balloon. I asked her what it was for.
"Just wait, honey. You'll see." Mom told me to write my letter. Eagerly, I got my favorite pen, and poured out my six-year-old heart in the form of blue ink. I wrote about my day, what I learned at school, how Mom was doing, and even about what happened in a story I had read. For a few minutes it was as if Dad were still alive. I gave the letter to Mom. She read it over, and a smile crossed her face.
She made a hole in the corner of the letter where she looped the balloon string. We went outside and she gave me the balloon. It was still raining.
"Okay, on the count of three, let go. One, two, three."
The balloon, carrying my letter, darted upward against the rain. We watched until it was swallowed by the mass of clouds.
Later I realized, like the balloon, that Dad had never let his sickness get him down. He was strong. No matter what he suffered, he'd persevere, dart up, and finally transcend this cold world and his sick body. He rose into sky and became something beautiful. I watched until the balloon disappeared into the gray and white and I prayed that his strength was hereditary. I prayed to be a balloon.

Things adults should learn from kids
Children can teach adults a lot. In other words, there are many things adults can learn from children. For example, kids tend to show love. Every action they do for parents, friends, pets, and people they like, is filled with love. They don’t think twice before loving, and they just love. So adults can learn this: the best way to receive love is to first give it. Unfortunately, most of us have developed the habit of questioning everything. We often try too hard with love, and associate it with weakness. Actually, the only way to experience love is to have minimal expectations, and love your dear ones unconditionally.
Kids never hide emotions. They cry when they hurt themselves, and express displeasure when things don’t go their way. On the contrary, we adults always try to hide our feelings, and never express ourselves sincerely. We often feel happy for others with negative thoughts in our hearts. Crying or expressing oneself is what normal people do. Never hold back tears or happiness. If you want to cry, cry your eyes out, and if you are happy or pleased about something, don’t be afraid to show or share it.
Kids are curious little beings, who always try to understand their surroundings by completely involving themselves in every task they undertake. They have a huge appetite for knowledge, and ask lots of questions every day. This curious nature guides their life, and often leads them to simple yet brilliant discoveries. Are adults as curious as kids? Well, most of us aren’t. Also, they no longer have the thirst for knowledge, and don’t even ask questions if they don’t understand something. Adults often forget that it isn’t talent or skill but our curiosity and a huge appetite for knowledge that makes us worthy.
Kids live in the present, and give 100% to any task they are doing. They never worry about the future, and since they are so busy enjoying their present, life is great today. However, with a job, money, and relationships, it does get hard for an adult to enjoy life. The best thing to do here is to change oneself, and if that isn’t possible, we can live like a child. Just don’t bother about the future, because it isn’t in your control. The only thing you can control is your present, so work hard toward it.
As kids treat everyone equally, they make friends soon and also play a lot with them. Through playing, they make a lot of astonishing discoveries about their friends and surroundings. They also learn a lot about life, because they are out in the open and are playing with all their hearts. So how long has it been since you played outdoors for fun as an adult? Not some serious sporting event or activity, just kicking a ball, running in the park, or any other silly game! Playing doesn’t mean that you have to achieve a purpose. Sometimes, it is healthy to just have some fun.

Possible version:
Boys and girls:
We high school students do have some growing pains, but we can get rid of them correctly and wisely. First, some of us are upset about their body styles and looks. It’s unnecessary and it’s not important at all. We needn’t care about it. It is one’s inner beauty that matters. Second, some of us have fewer friends. I think being open-minded and friendly will do you good. We sometimes seem to be misunderstood by our teachers or classmates. Faced with this, we can find a proper time to have a heart-to-heart talk with them, trying to remove the misunderstanding. Third, some of us often quarrel with our parents because of the generation gap between us. It is necessary for us to communicate with our parents after school, telling them what we think or what we want to do in the future. Last of all, we may fall behind others, which makes us stressed. Actually we can encourage ourselves to work efficiently, full of determination.
That’s all. Thank you.
