Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true.   1   is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it’s hard for you to communicate with your   2  , don’t worry about it. Here is some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (代沟).
Don’t argue with your parents. Don’t get to your parents when you are   3   . Your parents probably won’t   4  your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express yourself   5   if you are angry. Go someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to   6  to your parents. If you don’t think you can speak to them at the moment,   7   writing a letter.
Try to reach an agreement. Sometimes you and your parents   8   on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to   9   each other. Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They   10   over it. But they finally came to an agreement. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only   11   it on certain days.
Of course, your parents might refuse to agree on something. In these   12  , it is especially   13  to show love and respect to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship with your parents strong.
Talk about your   14  . The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you  15   about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.
A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try!

This morning, I went camping along a path in Green Natural Park with my friends. We were happy because it was a sunny day. We were expecting an enjoyable two-day holiday. On the way, we kept singing and making jokes.
However, in the afternoon, when we finished our picnic at one o’clock, it was dark and windy. Soon, there was a shower. Unluckily, none of us brought an umbrella. We ran about but we could find no place to hide.
Twenty minutes passed and it was still raining. There were hours to go before we reached the campsite (野营地). It was even worse that our small compass (指南针) showed that we went to the wrong way. We had lost our way!
We had to make a quick decision as it was raining heavily. Chris said we could set up a tent to hide in, so Mary and Tom helped to set up the tent. Chris and I tried to make a fire to keep us warm. But we were unable to light the fire, as everything was wet. We dried ourselves, chatted and waited inside the tent. At about five o’clock, it stopped raining. We decided to give up the camping trip because all of us had been very tired.
This camping trip may not be very successful but we know each other better. And the most important thing I’ve learned from this trip is the importance of team spirit.
The writer with his friends went camping in Green Natural Park ______.

The writer thought it even worse that they ______.

Which of the following is NOT true？

The writer has learned the importance of ______ from the trip.

Have you heard about “Survival Holidays”? It is for children to go into the lonely place for exciting activities. Now about 1,100 companies are allowed to take children into the great outdoors without their parents.
The reason why people like “Survival Holidays” is that they think being close to nature is good for children. Many children in big cities spend all time watching TV and playing computer games. “Survival Holidays” gives them an important change.
Is “Survival Holidays” a wonderful idea? Maybe it is. Children need more free time to play. They need to be left on their own, without adults disturbing them. Parents care too much about their children. They like to see the children being busy with activities that are controlled by adults, which causes many problems. Children don’t know what to do when they are in danger. Even something like crossing a small river seems to be a hard challenge(挑战). Children are not comfortable with danger. Even slight danger like getting their feet wet or falling down seems very terrible to them.
Many people think the survival activities are good for children. Even years later, they will still remember what they have learned. Some have learned to stay calm in dangerous times. Some have learned how to keep safe. Others have learned how to work in a team. All these skills will help them a lot in their lives.
What does “Survival Holidays” mean according to the passage? ________.

Which children may take part in “Survival Holidays”?

In a “Survival Holidays” , children can NOT learn ________.

Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

The right name is important in the business world. All you have to do is think of the names for some of the products you buy every day and you’ll agree that the name and the product are connected in everyone’s mind.
In many countries, successful trade or brand(商标) names are protected by law so that other companies cannot make the same product by copying. Businesses register(注册) a company or a product name with the government. In fact, more than 1,000 product and company names are registered every hour. Many companies spend a lot of money to find the right name for their products. A good example of this is in the car industry. Some successful names for cars have powerful associations(联系). The Ford Mustang and the Jaguar are only two examples of choosing the names of animals that are fast and strong.
When a U. S company decides to sell its product in another country, it has to make sure that the product name translates(翻译) properly. When Coca-Cola introduced its soft drink to China, it looked for the right name. It wanted a name that would do two things. One was to present its image in Chinese and the second was to be close to its first brand name—Coke. It took some efforts before finding the right word — which sounds similar and translates as “happiness in the mouth”. Asian company names are not new to the United States. The brand names of Samsung and Sony have been successful. Finding the right brand name is a big business. Asian companies that sell to foreign markets pay to find a name that will connect with its customers. There are even naming companies that offer help in inventing product names. These companies can charge up to $100,000 a word for their good names. But it’s worth it. Successful companies know how important the right brand names are for their development.
Why are trade names protected by law in many countries?

What can we learn from the passage?
A. Many companies care about the cost of finding the right names.
B. Creative trade names can help companies to have a larger sale.
C. The government often does business with naming companies.
What’s the best title for the passage?

Nowadays more and more Chinese teenagers find life more difficult without their parents. They don’t know how to do h        because their parents do almost everything for them at home. This is a big p       .
Joy is 14 years old. Last month her parents went aboard on b       , so she had to stay at home alone. At first she thought she would be h        when her parents were not in. She could do everything that she liked. B        when it was six o’clock in the afternoon, she felt h       . “Oh, it’s time to have supper. Where can I get my food?” she said to herself. L        she found some food in the fridge, but she didn’t know how to cook. At that moment, she m        her parents very much. At last she could only go to the supermarket and bought some food toe       .
Many teenagers are the same as Joy. So I think they should l        some life skills, like cooking, tidying up their rooms or dressing themselves properly. They shouldn’t depend too much on their parents.

Scientists find that hard-working people can live longer than idle(不工作的) people. Career women are healthier than housewives. Evidence shows that the jobless are in poorer health than the job-holder. A report shows that whenever the unemployment rate(失业率) increases by 1%, the death rate increases by 2%. All this comes down to one point: work is helpful to health.
Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy, away from loneliness. Researches show that people feel unhappy, worried when they have nothing to do. Instead, the happiest are those who are busy. Many high achievers who love their careers feel that they are happiest when they are working hard. Work serves as a bridge between man and reality(现实). By work, people come into contact with each other. By taking part in some activities, they find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss of work means the loss of everything. It affects man in spirit and makes him easy to get ill.
Besides, work gives one a sense of fulfillment(充实感) and a sense of achievement. Work makes one feel his value in society. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow, they are happy beyond words.
From the above we can come to the conclusion that the more you work, the happier and healthier you will be. Let us work hard and study well and live a happy and healthy life.
Who can live longer, hard-working people or idle people?
