In our daily life, we often hear about news about floods, war, people being hurt and so on. Do you
feel like the world is a hard place to live in sometimes?
But what you need to understand is that your feeling is natural. You won’t be the only teenager to
have this kind of feeling. There are others around you who have the same feeling as you. It is certain that
adults are worried about these things too. So what can you do?
Talk about what is on your mind with adults (成年人) you trust. Tell them a little about what you’re
worried about. If you need help, they’re always there. They will probably answer your questions and help
you better understand what’s going on.
Know that there are people who are trying to make things better. In Chongqing, China, where the
wildfires were, there were police, firefighters, soldiers and lots of volunteers who were helping people and
animals. These were also the people who would help with the clean-up after the wildfires went away.
Big problems will finally be solved. It might take some time. It might take a lot of effort. But we
will all be safe again.
The one thing that you should always remember is that what you feel and think is important. It is
OK to react in the way that you are. The news can be hard to understand, but there are people around you
who can help you out.

about your party. And you can hear if they are interested in the party.
In person (亲自)

When you wake up in the middle of the night with a nightmare (噩梦), you must be very scared.
Don’t be in fear because it’s just a bad dream. Well, maybe you’ve gotten a chance to relax, because
nightmares might actually be good for you.
According to New York Magazine, bad dreams can improve your mental (心理的) health. Most
nightmares come from real-life worries, such as an upcoming exam, or terrible things you’ve seen. To
reduce these worries, the brain turns the dream into a story in the form of a bad dream. So a bad dream can
keep you away from anxieties (忧虑), and turn something you’re worried about now into a memory (记
忆). The result is that when you wake up you’re able to move forward and face the future.
A study in The Atlantic Magazine, showed similar results. In a survey of more than 700 French
students taking a medical school entrance exam, over 60 percent had bad dreams about the test the night
before. These included not finishing on time, leaving a question blank, or being late. Those who reported
dreams about the exam, even bad ones, did better on it than those who didn’t. It shows that nightmares can
actually help us prepare for the future.
So, the next time you wake up at night after a bad dream, it may be the brain is putting your fears
behind you and readying you for the future. Although a nightmare may make you afraid for a short time,
it may help you get out of the bad things. We should try to accept our nightmares rather than allow them
to keep us awake. After all, lack of sleep causes more problems than dreaming.
28．A bad dream may be ________ to your mental health.A．careful B．fearful C．helpful D．hopeful
29．Nightmares can turn your worries into ________.
A．anxieties B．dreams C．memories D．problems
30．Which of the following is True?
A．Bad dream is from fear.
B．Nightmares must be good for you.
C．The brain can keep you away from worries.
D．Students who had dreams did better in the exam.
31．The best title of this passage is ________.
A．Accept Your Nightmares
B．Face Nightmares Correctly
C．Keep Away From Nightmares
D．Nightmares Come From Worries

When kids are at home, the house is in a mess most of the time. But in fact, your children can learn
some easy skills and they will help keep the house tidy. Here are some chores that parents should let their
kids learn.
①
Kids as young as 2 years of age can start to learn to help put away clothes. School-aged kids can
learn to fold clothes and start to learn about using the washing machine. If you start teaching your child at
a young age, by age 10 or 11, the child will finish every step of washing clothes by himself, from putting
away clothes to using a washing machine.
②
Children who are trained in a right way can be a big help with doing the dishes. Whether you are
teaching your children to use a dishwasher(洗碗机) or wash the dishes by hand, the best way to start is
with scraping and rinsing(刮和冲洗) . Even 5-year-olds to 6-year-olds can learn how to scrape and rinse
their plates. 7-year-olds to 8-year-olds can help with drying and putting away the dishes. By age 9, kids
are ready to learn how to wash different kinds of dishes or use a dishwasher.
③
Learning to mop(拖) the floor is a skill for older school-aged kids. By the age of 9 or 10, most kids
are old enough to learn to mop the floor without much help. Give them advice on how to mop different
kinds of floors in your home.

Life is like a journey. On the way, we have happiness and sadness. 36 It’s not difficult
for anyone around you to tell his regrets. When we get older, we look back and wish that we had made
better choices. How can we avoid future regrets?
Make better plans. If you start to do something, you’d better make a full plan before doing it. 37
You will know what comes first and what comes last.
Live a more active life. You can go around more often. More outdoor activities can keep you relaxed
and active. 38 “Thank you” can bring a smile to someone’s face. Learn to say “sorry” and
don’t be angry with others.
Find the right friend. A friend may make your life and he or she can break your life as well. So you
need to deliberate (仔细考虑) it when you choose a friend. 39 When you get into trouble, ask
others for help. That little help may get you good results.
Never fear failure. Everybody fails. 40 We should not fear failure, because failure is not the
end of the road. We must take failure as a chance to learn and improve ourselves.
Life is good. We don’t have to live in our past, but we do hope that we can plan better, live better,
and work better when we have the chance to do so.
