Jenny was the only child in her family. She had a quarrel (吵架) with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn’t help weeping sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding from her mother. Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat. She stood beside a stand (货摊) for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she gave a sigh and had to leave.

The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, “Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles?”

“Oh, yes, but I don’t have money on me.” she replied.

“That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,” said the man, “Come in.”

The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently.

“What is it?” asked the man kindly.

“Nothing. Actually, I was just touched by your kindness!” said Jenny as she wiped her tears. “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so merciless compared to a stranger!”

Hearing the words, the seller smiled, “Girl, do you really think so? I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you remember the times she cooked for you? Have you expressed your gratitude to her?”

Jenny sat there, speechless and numb with shock: she remembered her mother’s familiar face and weathered hands. “Why didn’t I think of that? A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel grateful. Why haven’t I thanked my mum for what she has done for me?”

On the way home. Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.

One day my grandfather gave me a gift — a piggy bank. It had an opening through which one could put money in, but the opening was not big enough to reach in and get the money out. The only way to get at the money was to break the piggy bank open. My grandfather explained that was the whole idea: the piggy bank would help save my money so that, at the end of the year, I might have enough for that bike I dreamt about. He asked if I would put some of the money he gave me into the piggy bank. I agreed immediately and promised that I wouldn’t break it open until I could afford my dream bike.

Whenever he gave me a little bit of money, he would say, “This is for spending. But you can save some and put it in the piggy bank if you want to save it up.” When he gave me larger amounts, it was clearly for saving in the piggy bank. For some time, this worked fine. I loved shaking the piggy bank and hearing the sound of the coins. As it became heavier, I grew more excited, dreaming about buying my new bike, and all the adventures I could have on it.

Whenever I wanted to take some money from the piggy bank to buy delicious ice-creams or beautiful pens, I would imagine riding my bike on the street, and thinking of that, my thoughts about ice-creams or pens went away. So for almost six months, I only put money into the piggy bank without taking any out. I thought I wouldn’t break my piggy bank for anything. But one day something unexpected happened. I saw a piece of news on the television that a serious earthquake (地震) had happened in a nearby province. As many houses were destroyed, a lot of children became homeless. Seeing their shabby clothes and crying faces, I was sleepless that night.

4 . When we’re in trouble, we always ask our parents for help. But would you like them to hear the conversations you have with your friends on the school playground? Social networking sites have become extensions(延伸) of the school hallways, so would you add your parents as “friends” and allow them to view your online activities and conversations with friends?

In the past the generation gap included a technology gap, where children were up to date with the latest technology and parents were left behind, content to continue their day-to-day lives as they always had because they didn’t need to know more about technology. However, many parents are beginning to realize just how important social networks are in their lives. This realization has given many parents the motivation(动机) to educate themselves about social networking sites. These days many people are attracted to social networking sites because they can choose who they have around them, there’s also a amount of control over privacy(隐私) that we don’t get in real life. Sometimes we feel that privacy is violated(违背) when we must accept a “friend” request from family members.

It’s a difficult choice whether or not to allow parents to become a part of our online lives. Sometimes we don’t want to “refuse” their request because that might hurt their feelings or make them feel you have something to hide. But if you do accept, then you will feel yourself being watched and no longer feel free to communicate the way you did before.

A survey suggested parents shouldn’t take it personally if their children overlook(忽略) their requests. When a teenager overlooks a parent’s friend request, it doesn’t necessarily mean that he is hiding something, but it means that he wants to be independent.

Perhaps talking with parents and explaining would help soften the blow if you choose not to add them to your friend list.

1. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?

A．Parents feel secure about their privacy online.

B．Parents have realized the importance of social networks.

C．Social networks successfully fill the generation gap.

3. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?

A．How to use the social networks correctly.

B．How do social networks affect people’s life.

C．Why do most of teenagers refuse their parents’ friend requests.

C．The Importance of Relationship.	D．The Development of Social Networks.

Family Game Night

Kids often get games for birthdays, and they wanted to have a chance to play with their family or create some games of their own. Charades(看手势猜字谜游戏) will encourage children to use their imagination. Divide the family into teams and let each team come up with words and the other should act out.

8 . After entering high school, you will meet many problems in study. In this guide, your problems will hopefully be solved.     1    .

Manage your time wisely

    2    . At the same time, time-management skills are highly valued by teachers. Because they can help ensure that you prepare well for tests and exams.

    3    

Every teacher designs tests and exams differently. If your teacher hasn’t specified(详细说明) how he or she arranges tests and exams and which materials will be covered, you’ll need to ask your teacher outside of class. In this way you can fully prepare for the test well.

Get help if your grades fall behind

Whether you miss an important class, have trouble with certain concepts, or are dealing with a stressful family emergency, there’s a chance that your grades might fall at some point.     4    . Remember that you don’t have to feel dissatisfied with grades, if you’re actively absorbed in your studies.

Take responsibility for your words and actions

If you fail to finish your homework, turn in a paper on time, or show up to your task on time, it’s no one’s fault but your own. You shouldn’t excuse for your fault.     5    . In part because taking your responsibility can help you stay focused and decide what to do in the future.

A．Accepting responsibility is a major mark of maturity (成熟)

B．Try to stay balanced

C．You don’t have to write out every word your teacher says

D．If this happens, it’s important to get help at once

E．Study for tests and exams ahead of time

F．And you will soon find yourself confident and happy at high school

G．Managing your time will greatly help you become a more excellent student

9 . It’s time to go back to high school. Students are excited about the new beginning. But for many kids, the first day is more about friends than classes, and maybe with good reason. On that day, the teacher takes attendance(考勤), hands out books, and describes the teaching plan. If a student hears the same things in seven classes, you can’t blame(责备) them for thinking it’s going to be another long year. When the high schoolers’ parents ask what they did in school, it’s pretty likely that the answer will be “Nothing.”

It doesn’t have to be this way. Kids always want exciting changes, and you can give them a taste of how appealing your course will be. One English teacher asks students to write 77 words about what they want to get out of her class. Then she reads their responses out aloud. She keeps the responses until the last day of the school year. Finally she hands them back to students so that they can see if they achieved what they wanted. After encouraging kids with a year-long game, she begins the English course.

On the first day of science, a teacher gives students 30 minutes to build something to improve people’s lives. A history teacher organizes a debate on whether Swiss cheese is better than cheddar. In math class, another teacher puts students in groups of three, and gives them six minutes to come up with as many answers as possible to the question, “What is math good for?”

The new class activities are part of our school wide movement to improve the first day of classes. Many teachers choose to use creative ways to encourage kids from day one. And all students seem to enjoy the changes. Quite a few parents told me that their kids said, “I think English (or math or biology or Spanish) is going to be great!”

1. Which best describes the class on the first day of school in Paragraph 1?

A．Too boring.	B．A bit strange.
C．Really wonderful.	D．Quite challenging.

2. What does the underlined word “appealing” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A．Confusing.

B．Ordinary.

C．Attractive.

D．Unfamiliar.

3. What will the students find out in English class at the end of the school year?

A．If their writing skills have improved.

B．If their expectations have been realized.

C．If they can understand the 77 words.

D．If the teacher likes their responses

4. What do the teachers in Paragraph 3 have in common?

A．All try to organize different debates.

B．All ask students to work in groups.

C．All hold discussions on teaching plans.

D．All choose to do something exciting.
