A woman remarried a man from Mexico. She already had a 16-year-old daughter named Bethany, while her husband had a 14-year-old daughter named Maria. Maria and Bethany had been in each other’s lives since they were children. Their relationship as stepsisters was good until recently.

The entire family was busy planning Maria’s Quinceanera (成人礼). The woman’s husband and his ex-wife joined forces to get her a beautiful dress to celebrate the occasion. In total, the dress cost $3,000.

Bethany made it clear that she was jealous (嫉妒的) of the party. Her mom had to make her understand that in Mexican culture, a Quinceanera was a great deal, just like how she had a sweet sixteen party. However, Bethany kept comparing her party to that of Maria’s. It was a massive issue for her, and it reflected in the way she behaved around everyone at home.

Knowing how it made Bethany feel, the mom tried to spend more time with her daughter to assure her that she wasn’t being disregarded. They even got her a lovely dress for the Quinceanera, but much cheaper than Maria’s dress.

Two weeks before the big day, Maria and Bethany got into an argument regarding the TV. Bethany retaliated (报复) against her stepsister by tearing off the back part of her Quinceanera dress. After finding out what Bethany did, everyone was angry. The mom couldn’t believe what her daughter did and quickly gave her husband and his ex-wife money to get a new dress.

The mom told Bethany that she needed to get a job to pay back the total price of the dress. It was her punishment for such an unreasonable act against her stepsister. However, Bethany claimed her mom was unfair by choosing Maria over her. This made the mom question whether she was in the wrong for giving her daughter no choice but to find a job. She wrote about the story online, hoping to get opinions from others on whether what she did was wrong.

2 . 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

I thought my parents were crazy when they said over dinner one night that I was going to have a brother or sister in about nine months. I always wanted a little brother or sister, and now I was finally going to get one. However, I was at a point in my life where I was used to not having brothers or sisters, and being the center of attention at home.

The next several months were filled with excitement as we prepared for the new addition to the family. My Aunt Dorothy and Aunt Lynda threw her a wonderful baby shower. To my surprise, I also received presents. My family was worried about how I would feel once the baby was born, so they showered me with attention. All of my friends were excited for me. In a way, I thought they were looking forward to me experiencing the pains of being an elder sister.

The following days went by rather quickly. Before I knew it, one summer morning in June my mom was taken to the hospital. I was visiting my Aunt Lynda in Missouri when we got the call that my mom was in labor (分娩), so we drove to the hospital, hoping that we wouldn’t miss the big event. We stepped into the hospital at 12:03 p.m., which was the exact time my sister, Bekah, was born.

My mom had some complications (并发症) after the delivery. What was supposed to be a time of celebration now became a life-or-death waiting game. My first reaction was to hate the baby, since I felt it was all her fault (错误) that this happened. I had my mom to myself for fifteen years of my life, and now it looked as if she was going to be taken away from me forever.

When I saw Bekah for the first time, those bad feelings went away.

3 . Building your family tree together is a wonderful chance to tell your kids your favorite family stories. It can make for some memorable quality family time.     1    . Here is a four-step guide to get you started.

Gather Your Family Objects

The objects include old photos, letters, journals, and anything else you may have hidden in the attic (阁楼) or storeroom.     2    . Go through everything you’ve gathered and share stories with your kids about the people in old objects.

Talk to Relatives

    3    . Now it’s time to talk to your relatives and ask questions about the stories. Your kids can write a list of questions and interview their relatives to get some background on their family.

Write a Family History

Write down all the related information you have already known.     4    . Once you know what's missing, you’ll know where to focus your search, what questions to ask, and who to talk to. What may seem like a common family story now can actually become interesting and informative with time.

Go Online

With so many genealogy(家谱) websites available, you can find a wealth of missing information online. In addition to searching relationship information on your home computer, you can find birth and death records, newspaper records, and official government documents.     5    .

A．Find and spread them out on a table

D．This will allow you to see where information might be missing

E．Some websites make it fun to discover more about family source.

4 . Sometimes parents wonder if they should really give their children chores (家务活). After all, isn’t it the parents’ responsibility to manage the household? And don’t children need an opportunity to “just be children” for now because they have the rest of their lives to worry about chores?

Most children have really busy schedules. They rush around from one activity to another with little time to clean the house. Despite those concerns, however, giving your children chores may be one of the most important things you’ll ever do.

While giving your children chores can certainly take some of the stress off you, that’s not the only reason you should expect your children to do the chores. Studies show chores are good for children. Research from a well-known 75-year Harvard study shows that chores can shape children to be more likely to become happy, healthy and independent adults.

Why are chores like sweeping the floor and clearing the table so important to children’s happiness in life? One reason is that children feel a sense of achievement when they do their chores. No matter whether they’re making their beds or they’re sweeping the floor, helping out around the house makes children feel capable. Doing chores also helps children feel like they’re part of the team and learn responsibility. Helping family members is good for them and it encourages them to be good adults.

Children who do chores gain important life skills that will serve them well throughout their lives. Life skills such as meal preparation, mowing the lawn, or doing the laundry will be important after high school, which helps your children live independently.

6 . Most of us regard chores as annoying tasks to get done, but the evidence shows they are actually good for us.

For some, cooking is very enjoyable, while for others it’s just a daily chore.    1    , cooking regularly can have some serious benefits for your health. The most obvious benefit is that the more you cook basic ingredients, the less processed food you’ll end up eating. As we know, processed food is often short of nutrients and can hide several questionable ingredients    2    

Another less obvious benefit is that cooking can lower stress levels. We know any type of creativity lowers stress and benefits overall health. This certainly includes making food. Planning a recipe, chopping produce, adding seasoning,making adjustments — these are all parts of the creative process of cooking.     3     , and then enjoy the creativity of cooking while you’re at it!

    4    Sharing housework evenly can improve a couple’s marital happiness. And for parents, giving kids regular chores has several benefits. It may be a difficult task to get them to happily complete their chores but, nevertheless, doing housework and other tasks can give them higher self-belief, make them more responsible, and enable them to better deal with frustration and delayed satisfaction.     5     Then they build a positive circle.

So it’s fair to say that household chores shouldn’t be looked down on anymore. In fact, it might be time to embrace your to-do list to better your health, and get your family involved as well!

A．So go ahead to try some new recipes

B．The same goes for most fast food options

10 . 阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

As a Norwegian, what we never miss every year is the celebration feast. All the    1    (grown-up) including Nanny (baby-sitter) and all the children sat down around the big dining-room table    2     the afternoon of our arrival. For the great annual celebration feast with my grandparents, the food we received never    3     (vary). This was a Norwegian household,and for Norwegians the best food in the world is fresh fish. I agree with them that the proper way to prepare fish is    4    (boil) not to roast it, and that is    5    they do with the finest specimens. Norwegians, by the way, always eat the skin of the fish, which they say is the    6     (tasty) of all. So     7     (natural )this great celebration feast started with fish. Large white pieces of this fish were carved out and put onto our plates and with it we had sauces and cooked new potatoes. Nothing else. It was delicious! As soon as the remains of the fish were cleared away, a big home-made ice-cream would    8     (carry) in. Apart from being the creamiest ice-cream in the world, the flavor was     9    (forget). The great feast was interrupted by    10     small speech of welcome from my grandfather and all adults would raise their wine glasses and say “Best wishes’” many times throughout the meal.
