The weatherman said there was going to be a terrible storm, but the weather now was so nice. Molly’s mother was going to buy some batteries (电池) in the corner store to prepare for the storm, although Molly thought it wasn’t necessary.
Her mom left and was back an hour later. It was about 6:00 p. m., and the sky began to turn dark because of the black clouds. The wind also started to blow. Then the rain started to beat against the windows. The trees shook hard. “I’m scared,” Molly said to her mother.
The storm lasted for about thirty minutes, long enough to make the lights go out and the old trees fall over. Even Dudu, the cat, was staying quietly under the sofa. Molly’s mother lit (点燃) some candles so they could see their way around the house.
“What about dinner ” asked Molly worriedly. Her mother bought some fish when she went to the corner store. “I had a feeling that we wouldn’t be able to cook, so I bought the fish and some bread,” said Molly’s mother. They ate the fish and the bread by candle light. “You know, this is kind of fun. It’s almost like camping,” said Molly.
Later that night, the lights came back on. Molly said, “Although it was a scary time, I did have fun.”

Do you find that your dinners with your parents are less happy than before Do you find it easier to chat in the past but now it’s difficult Do you and your parents often disagree on things You’re not alone. Many kids and their parents have such experiences. When you’re growing up, your body changes a lot. You might worry about your voice changing or getting spots (斑点) on your face. When you feel worried, you might get angry at your parents sometimes.
It’s also hard to balance (平衡) your feelings as you grow up. You get to a strange time called middle ground—no longer a small child but not quite an adult (成人). You want to do things by yourself more, but you still need your parents’ love and help. You want to make decisions by yourself, but your parents might not always agree. This can make you feel sad.

Remember, your parents love you and want to help you. Sometimes they forget how hard it is to grow up. But if you keep talking to them and trying to understand each other, you can work things out. So keep trying, and you’ll find that you and your parents can get along just fine.

【61题答案】
【答案】例文
Should students do chores at home We had a discussion about it in the English class today.
Here are the results. Half of the students believe that they should do chores. 30% of the students believe that they shouldn’t do any chores. They think it’s a waste of their time. And 20% don’t mind doing chores.
In my opinion, students should do chores at home. Firstly, doing chores can make us independent. We can’t depend on our parents all the time. Secondly, doing chores can keep us healthy and strong. Finally, we can learn a lot of life skills from chores. So I think it’s good for students to do some chores.
