What are your parents like Do they have any strict family rules for you Do they make you feel stressed Recently, a mother's unique idea about her kids' playtime has caught people's attention online.
Jessi Meeks says every day, her three kids get an hour to do “whatever” they want. She calls it “whatever-makes-you-happy hour”.
Meeks’ idea arose naturally from one of her kids’ suggestions. “One afternoon, the kids were outside painting and my husband and I were trying to talk. My oldest son Cannon looked at me and asked, ‘Can I paint my hands ’ And I said, ‘Whatever makes you happy. You all just do it and be quiet so Mommy and Daddy can talk to each other,’” Meeks recalls. “And from then on, around that same time of the day, they would ask if they could do something and we'd answer, ‘Sure, whatever makes you happy.’”
But Meeks also sets necessary boundaries(界限). “If they start hurting themselves or hurting each other, we step in,” she adds. “And we don't let them watch TV.”
Meeks believes the hour of free playtime has been beneficial for her kids. If they make a big mess, she thinks it's a good chance to teach little ones the practice of tidying up. At the same time,it's also a great way for them to explore(探索) and play the way they want.
“Even though the kids make a mess at times, it has worked out well for everyone in my family,” Meeks says. She considers“ whatever-makes-you-happy hour” as a daily period to make new memories and build a good family relationship.

Her classroom was filled with fun and creative activities. Even such a shy girl as me, would always stay by her side, feeling love and warmth. That was how I remembered my primary school teacher, Miss H.
I still remembered it was a sunny afternoon when Miss H invited us to her home. In her house, we could see paintings students gave her, thank-you notes parents wrote, and many of her teaching tools. My classmates and I knew that she cared deeply about us. For me, these were the symbols of an excellent teacher —— one who gave students both the love of learning and the excitement of going to school. Whenever we were with her, she could always provide a safe place for us. And we could be whatever we wanted —— a painter, a fire-fighter, a dancer or a writer...
After leaving university in Toronto in 1998,influenced by Miss H, I found myself standing on the stage in front of my students. And I couldn't wait to invite her to my classroom. She arrived one day with her guitar. When she sat in the chair, I saw joy on the faces of my students. They felt so happy and excited. She easily drew the students' attention through her tricks. Those tricks brought me back to the good old days when I was a student of hers. It seemed that things changed so little because I was still a student of Miss H.
For years, Miss H volunteered to help in my classroom. On one visit, she helped me and children plant potatoes in our school's garden. On another visit, she helped my class fly butterflies that we'd raised. And then she helped my students read and write stories. I felt lucky to learn about teaching from her. And these days, she started to give me lessons. The lessons were about love, relationships and making time for what was important in life. We also talked about the education, in the past and today, and challenges in the classroom. Little by little, I started to feel the pressure on my shoulder when I faced my own students. It seemed that everything changed so much because now I had to teach what I had learned to my students.
So little and so much I have changed!
1. Did the writer become a teacher after leaving university
2. How did the writer's students feel when they were with Miss H
3. Why did the writer say “So little and so much I have changed”
4. If you have a teacher like Miss H, what changes will you make Why

Instead of telling her how he felt, Jim decided it would be much 4 not to tell her anything he was doing in the future.
A good way to get parents to ask fewer questions is to offer some 5 on your own. You could share with them the 6 knowledge you learned in school. This puts the communication in your hands.

In February 2025, China introduced a nationwide policy (政策) to give high school students two full days off(休假) every weekend. This change hopes to reduce(减少) the heavy study pressure that students have faced for years. Before the policy, many high school students in provinces like Hebei only had one day or even half a day to rest each week. Now, schools are required to cancel(取消) all weekend classes and exams, allowing students to have time to relax or discover personal interests.
According to the new rules, teachers cannot give extra(额外的) homework during weekends. Besides, schools mustn't lock libraries so that students can study there whenever they want. Sports fields should also be available for those students who want to play sports there on weekends. In cities like Changsha and Hangzhou, some schools have even started organizing weekend activities such as science clubs and community service programs.
Most students welcome the policy. “I finally have time to play basketball and read novels,” said Li Ming, a 16-year-old student. “I feel less tired and much happier during weekdays. ” Studies also show that students who get enough rest do better in exams.
However, some parents are still worried.“ Weekends used to be important for reviewing lessons. I'm afraid my child will fall behind,” said a parent. Besides, schools in the countryside face bigger challenges. In some poor villages, students have fewer chances to take part in after-school activities.
Many teachers believe this policy marks a turning point in China's education. It brings both benefits(好处) and challenges to students. They suggest that schools, parents and the government should work together to help students make the most use of the extra free time.
根据语篇与任务要求,在空格处填上适当的短语或句子。

As a fan of computer science, Zeng Guolai wanted to buy a classic book about computers. But his parents turned him down. “You won't have time to read it,” they said.
However, this 16-year-old finally got it — by lying. As he said the book was required by his school, his parents agreed.
Many teenagers have had similar experiences to Zeng's. They have lied to their parents for different reasons including getting things they want, staying away from criticism(批评), and winning their parents' praise. “But there are some main reasons behind this situation,” said Wang Bing, a famous teacher in the field of mental health at Peking University. “ When children are becoming independent and want more freedom, parents just don't let go. For teenagers, lying seems to be a good way to get freedom and they don't want to have arguments with their parents, either,” Wang told the newspaper.
In fact, as children grow up, they have less communication with their parents, which leads to less mutual ( 相互的) trust. This is also an important reason for lying, as Wang mentioned. But unlike many parents who see telling lies as a signal(信号) of children becoming rebellious(叛逆的) or “bad”, Wang believed that this action should hardly be called a“ moral ( 道 德 的)problem”. Rather, it is a way for teenagers to step into the adults’ world — they have long been told to do certain things, but as they are growing up, they want to challenge rules and see the results.
Parents should put themselves in their children's shoes and guide their children to think positively, rather than simply blame(责备) them when things go wrong. As for teenagers, 4 .

Family rules are important for teens to grow up healthily and happily. Teens, however, are always testing their limits (极限). So fights between parents and teens are nothing new. What should parents do when the fights are there Maybe the following advice can help the parents.
①
Learning how to control emotions(情绪) isn't just important to teens. For your teen to remain calm, you need to remain calm first. Instead of letting your emotions get the best of you, take five minutes and calm down.
②
As a parent, you want your teen to be able to do their best. However, wanting teens to be perfect in grades, sports, behavior, etc. can be bad for them. Parents need to praise(赞扬) their teen for their hard work instead of the grade. For example, if your child is trying to complete a chore or studying for a test, praise them for their effort(努力). While the chore might not be done perfectly or the grade might not be an A, praising them for their hard work is important.
③
Friends can be a tricky subject for both teens and parents. Parents want their children to hang out with the right crowd. But teens want to be able to make their own friend choices. While hanging out with the wrong crowd can make parents worried, parents need to think more about their teens' behavior instead of the behavior of their friends. Believe that your teens will make the right choices.
Parents and teens are on different planes most of the time, so lots of different problems can show up. Being patient, both parents and teens can find the right ways to solve the problems.

C. “Work harder and get a better grade next time.”

Ⅳ读写结合。
A teenage boy is playing a new song on his guitar and his mother is filming him. Two days later, the boy discovers that other people are watching the video online.
Parents in the UK post(发布) about 1,000photos of their children online from when they are born until their fifth birthday. Babies and toddlers don't care about this at the time. But a study by the University of Michigan suggests that there is a difference between little children and teenagers. It isn't always acceptable to teenagers when parents post their photos or videos online. All babies cry, but teenagers don't want people to see old photos of themselves doing this.
Some parents share all kinds of photos of their children, even silly ones. They do it with good purposes(意图), for example, to share special moments with family members who live far away. But some middle-aged users of social media don't check their privacy settings(隐私设置) and share posts with others by accident.
In some countries, parents are not allowed to post photos of their own children without their permission ( 同意). In fact, children's privacy matters a great deal in these countries. In France, parents pay fines of up to 45,000 francs and can spend a year in prison(监狱) when they post photos of their children without their permission.
The study from the University of Michigan suggests this is an area where it's important for parents to listen to children over ten. Let them decide what they are happy to share, and whom to share with. That way the whole family can enjoy looking back at all those special moments.
根据语篇与任务要求,在空格处填上适当的短语或句子。

While little ones may not mind, 2 .They don't want old, silly photos or videos out there. Usually, parents share these with good purposes. However, this may violate(侵犯) their children's privacy. What's worse, this can lead to
terrible results. Some countries are 3 . For example, in France, if parents post their kids'
photos without asking first, they’ ll get into big trouble. They might have to pay large fines or even go to prison. In my opinion, parents should learn to 4 as they grow up. Thank you for your listening!

Children need time to stand and stare(凝视). They should be allowed to get bored so that they can develop their ability to be creative.
Children are expected by their parents to be reading a textbook all the time. However, research shows that it may hamper the development of their imagination, while boredom can give them chances to develop creativity.
Boredom is often connected with loneliness, but a writer named Meera Syal said boredom had helped her in developing her mind. She told researchers about her childhood. Having few things to do, Syal often talked with her neighbors. She also tried to do things like learning to bake cakes.
“But importantly, I thought and wrote a lot, because I was bored,” Syal said. She kept a diary, filling her time with short stories and poems she made up.
Grayson Perry, an artist, grew up in a family with little money. He enjoyed himself by making up stories, drawing pictures for his stories and reading many books in the library. Bored but free, he spent hours looking out of the window, watching the changing clouds and seasons. Perry filled up his free time with what he liked. He became creative, because he could think freely.
Dr. Belton is an expert on the effects(作用) of emotions(情绪) on learning. “Boredom could be an uncomfortable feeling,” she said. “And some young people cannot deal with that boredom creatively. So sometimes they may break a classroom window, or drive a car out for a mad race.”
Usually, when children have nothing to do, they would turn on the TV, the computer, or the phone. Their time on these things has increased, yet they need to have time to think about their experiences through play or just watching the world around them. It is this kind of thinking that can inspire(激发) the imagination. On the other hand, the TV or phone may cut short the thinking process. That can be bad for the development of creativity. “For developing the ability to be creative,” Dr. Belton advised, “perhaps we need to stand and stare, and stay off-line from time to time.”

We often hear a parent shout, “Tidy your room!”. It's thought that an unmade bed and the messy floor can make other family members stressed.
A study found that mess and managing it are “important to happiness”, while a messy living space makes people more stressed. On the other hand, some untidiness may be the sign of creativity. So what do you think Is it OK to have a messy bedroom Recently, this topic(话题) has caused hot discussion online.
Yes
It is important for children to have their own space where they can be themselves. By allowing children to keep their room as they want, parents are helping children prepare for their later lives. Also, cleaning up the room is a waste of time and there are more important things to focus on, like work and hobbies. Anyway, there is a great chance of getting the room messy again.
No
Research shows that in a messy room, you may feel worried and can't focus on tasks like homework. A tidy room can improve clear thinking and bring calmness. It also means you have more space for activities and won't lose things. What's more, mess might be dangerous —— you may fall down or knock something onto the floor and break it.
In my opinion, we can live according to our own willingness if we don't live with anyone else. However, keeping our space clean and tidy is an important life skill. It is unfair to other family members if our room is messy as it is part of their home too, and we should respect that.

【写作实践】 One of the rules in my family is that I can't watch TV. My parents think that watching TV influences my schoolwork, but I don't agree with them.
First, not all TV programs are bad for me. Some of them can help me with my study. Second, I don't think it's a good idea to spend all the time studying. I need time to relax. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
For these reasons, I think I should be allowed to watch TV on weekends.
I would like to watch some programs about education, music, sports and science. I can do even better in my study if I'm allowed to do this. I hope my parents will understand me.
