七、阅读理解（每题2分，共10分）
The Journey of Growing Up
Growing up is a lifelong journey that brings both joys and challenges. It’s a process of learning, changing, and becoming a better person.
During childhood, we learn basic skills like walking, talking, and reading. We depend on our parents for everything, from food to safety. As we enter primary school, we start to make friends and learn how to get along with others. This is the time when we begin to develop our own personalities and interests.
As teenagers, we face more complex challenges. We may struggle with study pressure, friendship problems, or self-doubt. We start to think about our future and what we want to do with our lives. It’s also a time when we become more independent and want to make our own decisions. Many teenagers experience big changes in their emotions and behavior, which is a normal part of growing up.
When we become adults, we take on more responsibilities. We may start working, get married, or have children. We learn to balance work and life, and to take care of our families. Growing up doesn’t mean we stop learning—we continue to grow and change through new experiences and challenges.
The journey of growing up is different for everyone, but there’s one thing in common: it’s full of valuable lessons. We learn to be brave, kind, and responsible. We learn to face difficulties and never give up. Most importantly, we learn to be true to ourselves.
( ) 1. What do we learn during childhood
A. How to balance work and life.
B. Basic skills like walking and talking.
C. How to make important life decisions.
( ) 2. What challenges do teenagers often face
A. Study pressure and friendship problems.
B. Taking care of their families.
C. Finding a job.
( ) 3. When do we start to become more independent

My Growing-Up Journey
My growing-up journey has been full of changes and growth. I used to be a shy girl who was afraid to speak in public. Whenever there was a class activity, I would hide behind my classmates.
As I grew older, my teacher encouraged me to join the school English corner. At first, I was nervous, but I decided to face the challenge. I practiced speaking every week and gradually became more confident. I also made many friends there.
During my journey, I faced some study difficulties. But I learned to deal with them by asking teachers for help and making study plans. Now, I’m an outgoing and independent teenager. I’ve made great progress not only in my study but also in my personal development. Growing up has taught me that courage and perseverance can help us overcome any difficulty.
