Dear Kids Advice Magazine

June 10,2017

Hi,my name is Evan and being the eldest child in the family surely has its disadvantages.First of all,I have to share all my toys and games with my younger Siblings,William and Julia.Of course,they don't need to return the favour because I'm totally uninterested in their things.Besides that,Julia and William are always hanging around me.It's especially annoying when I have a friend over.We look for a secluded place in the house where they can't disturb (打扰) us,but within minutes,they've found us and are asking to join in.I just can't seem to get a moment's peace.At meal times,I have to eat whatever is on my plate regardless of the portion size or taste.William and Julia only need to try one bite when it's not their favorite food.Not only this,but I'm expected to be cooperative (合作的,配台的) at all times because I'm the oldest and need to be a role model for them.

It doesn't seem fair either that I have more chores to do around the house than Julia and William put together.Plus,when it comes to practising our musical instruments,I have to practise more than double the time.Oh,and the worst part of it all is the huge quantities of homework I get compared to them.

I'm feeling rather annoyed with my sibling situation.Can you please write back with some advice?

                                                                                                                          Yours truly

                                                                                                                          Evan Smith

21.How many children are there in Evan's family?

22.What does the underlined phrase "a secluded place" mean in Chinese?

23.Why is Evan expected to be cooperative at all times?

24.How did Evan feel when he wrote this letter?

25.Evan thinks many things unfair,but in fact some of them are not his brother and sister's fault.List 2 of the unfair things.

(1)  Air Jordan(飞人乔丹) shoes are very popular and expensive. The first Air Jordan shoes were made in 1985. The next Air Jordan shoes came out in 1986. These shoes were special for basketball shoes, because they were made in Italy in 1990, which gave them a luxury (奢侈的) feel. Two years later, the third Air Jordan shoes were produced.

(2)  If you want to make your shoes look new, first, get out a toothbrush and some cleaning oil. Second, spray (喷) the oil on the shoes. Third, wash the dirt off with the toothbrush repeatedly while you are scrubbing (擦). Finally, scrub the shoes with a paper towel or clean cloth. If you did a good job,your shoes should look as nice as when you first got them.

(3)  If you go to a dance party, you'll need to wear dress shoes. However, wearing dress shoes for a few minutes can be really painful. To solve the problem, you can bring a box of band﹣aids (创口贴) with you. When your feet hurt, put on those band﹣aids. The band﹣aids will create something that will reduce pain.

(4)  When playing golf and bowling (保龄球), people need to wear special shoes. Golf shoes have sharp metal spikes (鞋钉), while bowling shoes have almost no spikes at all. Both these shoes help players perform. Besides looking silly, golf shoes and bowling shoes do not have soles (鞋底) that are fit for street use.

(5)  Are you wearing shoes? Why? People wear shoes for many reasons. The first and most important reason is to protect their feet. Shoes keep people from hurting their feet while walking on hard roads.

                               Athletics vs. Gardening

     The students of Southside School were asked to give their opinions about whether the school should run an athletic program or start a vegetable garden.

An athletic program is hatch better than gardening. How are we ever going to win anything at the Inter﹣School Athletics without proper training? At the moment, we only do athletics for one tam and the teachers train us. We need experts(专家)to teach us things like throwing and high jump.

I know lots of kids say they're tot interested in competitions, but that's because they've never won anything. If they got better training and started winning things, they'd soon change their minds.

People always say kids don't get enough exercise. Just because you do gardening outdoors doesn't make it exercise, so I don't sec how it matters.

Athletics is much better for fitness and lots of kids can have a go at the same tine. I don't think there would be enough jobs for everyone in a garden.

In fact, I think a garden is a really bad idea. I don't know why we're even considering it.

Liz, Grade 8

I think a vegetable garden is a great idea. We already do hours of sport, including athletics. And not everyone likes sport.

Gardening is a great way to get exercise without worrying about whether you're any good at it, or whether you're going to win. And you really do gel exercise when you garden. There's digging, weeding and watering Even picking things can be hard work ﹣ pumpkins aren't light you know!

There are lots of kids around here who don't have gardens so they can't grow things even they want to. If you really want to do more sport, you can join a club.

And think about it: What helps you to be good at sport? You need to eat lots of fruit and vegetables. If we learn to cook all the things we grow, the garden will keep us all fit and healthy and then we'll be better at sport.

Sam, Grade 8

(1)Which of these points do Liz and Sam both make?  

A. Kids should take exercise.

B. Kids should eat vegetables.

C. Kids should try to win more.

D. Kids should be outside more.

(2)What is one reason Liz gives for saying "a garden is a really bad idea"?  

A. Some students don't like getting dirty.

B. Some students don't enjoy being outside.

C. Some students already know how to garden.

D. Some students may have no chance to garden.

(3)Why does Sam say, "And think about it.: what helps you to be good at sport?"  

A. To change the subject.

B. To introduce his next reason.

C. To support Liz's idea.

D. To find an answer to the question.

    Putting the backpack on.Put the pack on a smooth surface,at waist height.Put on the pack,one shoulder at a time,then adjust(调整)the straps to fit comfortably.Remember when lifting a backpack, or anything,to lift using the arms and legs and to bend at the knee.

   The right way to wear a backpack,Both shoulder straps should be used,and adjusted so that the pack fits the body,without hanging to one side.Backpacks should never be worn over just one shoulder.You should be able to move your hands between the backpack and your back.The waist strap should also be worn.

According to the World Happiness Report,people who live in Denmark(丹麦) are the happiest in the world.Why?Because they know the secret to happiness﹣"hygge".But what is"hygge"?

The Danish(丹麦的) word"hygge"(pronounced"hoo﹣ga") is often translated in English as"coziness".But coziness paints only part of the picture.It's also about spending peaceful time in a quiet environment with no calendar.It's about spending time alone or spending time with family.

Danish people are very good at"hygge".For example,they create a"hygge"environment by burning candles in classrooms,kitchens,bedrooms,etc.According to some reports,Danish people burn more candles every year than people from any other European country.

However,"hygge"isn't just about creating a nice and warm environment; it is best enjoyed with family members and friends.With up to 17 hours of darkness every day in winter,Danish people spend more time indoors as a result,and they often get together for a meal or hot drinks,without the distraction(使人分心的事物) of technology or the stress of daily life.
