Five years ago, my mother gave birth to a brother for me when I was 8. I have learned a lot
from getting along with him.
After he was born, I almost became a babysitter（保姆）. I had to amuse him after school. I
would make faces or sing to him when he was crying. Sometimes I even carried him everywhere
in our yard（院子） to refresh him while my parents were busy. What I liked to do best was to
feed him when I'm looking after him. How cute he was when he tasted his favourite food! My
parents often praised（表扬）me happily, “As an elder brother, you've made contributions（贡
献）to looking after your younger brother.”
I have got happiness from sharing（分享）. When I was young, I was the only child in my
family. I could get what I wanted from my parents and get my parents' whole love. I was a “Little
Emperor”. But now, as long as I get something good, I will share it with him. I remembered the
year when he was three, he was fond of Rubik cubes (魔方). I bought one for him with my lucky
money as a birthday present. When he got the toy, he was so happy that he laughed, hugged me
and said, “Brother, I love you!”
Thanks for spending these years together with my family. It has taught me what
responsibility（责任）means and what friendship means. Not only should I look after myself, but
also I should pay attention to my family and my friends.

六、读写综合（本大题分为A、B 两部分，共25 分）
回答问题（共5 小题，每小题2 分，共10 分）
请阅读下面这篇文章，根据所提供的信息，回答问题。
If you're feeling tired and stressed because you have too much going on, like lots of after-
school activities, you might feel better if you give something up. Sometimes lots of activities—
even if they're all fun—can make you feel stressed by keeping you busy all the time. On the other
hand, if problems at home are troubling （使烦恼） you, in fact some after-school activities
may help you relax and feel better.
There are also relaxing exercises that you can use to keep stress away. The easiest one is to
breathe （呼吸） in slowly and deeply through your nose, and then exhale ( 呼出) slowly
through your mouth. Do this two to four times.
You can do breathing exercises anytime. You can even do breathing exercises in class if
you're nervous before a test.
The best way to keep stress away is to have a balanced life. That means making good
decisions about how to spend your time. If you're always busy with schoolwork and have no time
to play, you may feel stressed. Make sure you have a balance between work and play. If you take
care of yourself and get enough sleep and exercise, you'll probably be less stressed out!
Answer the following questions.
76. What can you do if you're feeling tired because of lots of after-school activities?
__________________________________________________
77. What may help if you have problems at home according to the passage?
