Emma is good at solving problems, so many students write to her to ask for advice. Here
are some students’ problems and Emma’s replies.
Hi, Emma. I share a bedroom and a desk with my elder sister. She hardly ever keeps quiet. I
have to prepare for my exams these days, but I can’t focus (把……集中在) my mind on my
schoolwork when she’s studying, too. The desk is always full of her things, so I can’t find my
things easily. When I talk with my sister about that, she gets angry. Can you help me?
MegHi, Meg. Why not use the desk at different times? Or maybe you can study in the library a
few days a week. If it’s easier to write instead of talking face to face, put pen to paper and
explain how you feel.

Hi, Emma. My problem is a bit embarrassing. I just find it hard to study. I can’t keep on
studying hard. What’s worse, I keep feeling that I’m learning the wrong thing. I’m hopeless.

together and take turns teaching each other. It is useful to lots of students, so have a try!

Dear Dr. Smith,
My mom always keeps asking me, “What’s going on?” If I want to go to a concert, she asks
who I will go with. I think that’s my own thing. Sometimes it seems that she doesn’t trust me. It
makes me very sad. How can I make her stop?Kate
Dear Kate,
Many young people have the same problem as you. If you don’t talk much with your
parents, they might feel they need to ask you questions to know about your life. It seems that
your mom is getting into your thing, but I think she’s just trying to keep a close relationship
with you. In fact, some experts often tell parents to stay close to their kids by asking them about
what’s going on in their life.
Some parents do this better than others. But some parents ask questions because they don’t
trust their kids. Your mom is just trying to stay close to you because she loves and cares about
you. You can have a talk with her about it.
Of course, that doesn’t make the questions less boring. If you’re tired of so many questions,
tell your mom about your day before she asks. If you offer more information, your mom won’t
ask you too many questions!
If you do this, I’m sure you can get on well with your mom.
Dr. Smith
（ ）36．Kate’s problem is that _________.
A．she is sad about the person at the concert
B．she doesn’t like or care about her mother
C．her mother always asks her lots of questions
D．her mother doesn’t want her to make new friends
（ ）37．The underlined word “trust” means “_______” in Chinese.
A．关心 B．讨厌 C．信任 D．爱
（ ）38．Dr. Smith thinks Kate’s mother maybe _____.
A．doesn’t love Kate B．doesn’t trust Kate
C．tries to stop Kate D．tries to stay close to Kate
（ ）39．Which of the following is TRUE?
A．Kate’s problem is a special one to young people.
B．Dr. Smith believes that all parents trust their kids.
C．Dr. Smith advises Kate to offer more information to her mom.
D．Some experts advise parents should only ask their kids about their study.
（ ）40．In which column (栏目) can we find this passage in a magazine?
A．World Animals. B．Problems and Advice.
C．Sports. D．Health.
（三）
Fights at school sometimes happen. But how can you keep away from a fight? Here’ssomething you can do.
Be calm (冷静的). Sometimes, you feel so angry that you really want to teach somebody a
lesson. But being angry can’t solve problems. Neither can a fight. Instead, it may bring you
more problems. In the school, everyone involved (卷入) in a fight will be punished, no matter
who started it. There are no winners in a fight.
Shout loudly. If you know someone is coming up behind you to attack, turn toward the
person with your hands up in front of your body and loudly say “stop” before walking away.
Loud voice can usually make the attacker calm down. If the person doesn’t stop, cry for help by
calling out the name of a teacher whose office is nearby.
________ Your friend may ask you to join in a fight. Learn to say no. Helping him fight is
not really helpful to him. If you really want to give him a hand, try to ask him to give it up.
Also, you can tell him if he gets involved in a fight, he may get hurt and be punished. Then, try
to learn why he wants a fight and help him find a right way to deal with the problem.
（ ）41．The underlined word “attack” in Paragraph 3 means “________” in Chinese.
A．拥抱 B．攻击 C．阻止 D．吸引
（ ）42．If someone wants to fight with you, you’d better ________.
A．run to home as fast as possible B．gather your friends to fight
C．call the police up for help D．try to make the attacker calm down
（ ）43．Which of the following sentences can be put in the ________?
A．Face bravely.B．Join in a fight. C．Learn to refuse. D．Talk to someone.
（ ）44．The passage is written in a/an ________ tone (语气).
A．sad B．angry C．serious D．crazy
（ ）45．The passage is written to ________.

“I don’t like my parents. They always tell me that I should do this and should not do that. It
sometimes makes me angry,” said Zhang Hua, a middle school student in Guangzhou. Do you
have the same problem? Perhaps your parents had the same problem when they were young.
Why aren’t some parents so friendly in their children’s eyes?
One of the most important reasons is when someone becomes a parent, he/she often worries
about things. Since you were born (出生), your parents have worried about everything about
you. They do a lot for you. Though something would make you angry, they care about you and
worry about you. They worry about your choice (选择) of friends, the food you eat, your study
at school, how much sleep you get and so on. All these things are part of your life, because they
want you to grow up healthily and happily.
So how can you make things easier on yourself? It’s easier than you think. Just make sure
your parents know what you’re doing. Get them to know your friends. Phone them if you gethome later than usual. Say sorry to them when you make mistakes. Talk about your ideas with
them and they may talk about theirs with you.
Most of all, try to think why your parents do this or do that. They are still practicing being
parents and need help that you can give them. When you become a parent, they may be able to
help you learn how to get on with your children.
根据短文内容回答问题。
66．Why don’t Zhang Hua like his/her parents?
