During the winter break , I found my dad 's old CD player in a drawer that I had never seen before . It reminded me of the three CDs I recently bought from Mostly Books , a second - hand media store on South Street . I knew I could put the player to good use with them .
However , I was a naughty kid who broke closet doors and shelves , so my dad was often unwilling to let me borrow his things . I couldn’t decide whether to ask my dad about using the player ." Can you help me with your old CD player I want to play some CDs ," I finally asked him after walking into his home office that day . Despite my worries , my dad said yes .
Growing up , I felt that my dad disagreed with nearly everything I did . I was frightened to take his advice because listening to him felt like going against my own ideas .
That day I looked at his office wall and saw a painting and he told me he bought it in the 1990s for a couple thousand dollars . Imagining him buying the artwork challenged my idea of him being too frugal (节俭的) and boring (没有情调的)to spend so much money on art .
This new side of my dad encouraged me to finally take the time to look for our similarities . I discovered how similar we really are while fixing the CD player with my dad , which helped me see him as someone I could relate to , instead of someone to avoid . Watching my dad prepare his old CD player for use was my first step toward understanding him . I observed several of his characters that I recognized in myself , like persistence , patience and calmness.Seeing these characters in my dad showed me how similar we are , which lowered the defenses （防御） I built against him , allowing our relationship to heal（愈合）.

A. He had no CDs to play then .

At Granger High School,freshmen(新生)came from different junior high schools. Some freshmen were worried and nervous when going into senior high school. “When we were registering (注册) for our classes , I was a little nervous . I didn’t know anyone at Granger. I’m kind of social. If a teacher puts me with someone, I can get along well with them.However,it’s different starting in a new school with lots of strangers ,”Mark Calderon said .
While many had similar feelings to Calderon , others had a different opinion ." I didn’t really care about going to senior high school . I already had lots of friends at Granger. Besides , my friends from other junior high schools were going to go to Granger, so going there meant we all would get to be together ," Jordan Thomas said .
The transition （过渡） to senior high school is just the first part . The other part is being able to get through high school with a comfortable experience , meaning trying to get the grades they want ." I’m not doing so well in my schoolwork ." Calderon said . Many other freshmen can relate . The first year of senior high school can be difficult for students to get used to because classes are more difficult than those in junior high school . The pace（节奏）feels a little faster for those who have a hard time dealing with their study.
Not only that , surveys also showed that about 40 percent of freshmen are always not going to school . Unluckily , lots of freshmen have failing grades . “The time that’s provided for them on Mondays and Tuesdays is to help them catch up in classes. Instead they’re busy talking to their friends and playing around,” Mr Timothy , a senior high school teacher , said.
28. What worried Mark Calderon
A. His grades .
B. His personality .
C. Fast - paced high school life .
D. Relationship with new classmates .
What did Jordan Thomas say about his new life in senior high school
A. He was afraid of it .
B. He had no idea of it .
C. He avoided sharing it .
D. He looked forward to it .
30. What does the author mean by writing " Many other freshmen can relate ." in paragraph 3
A. Many freshmen have similar experiences .
B. Many freshmen will get used to new life .
C. Many freshmen want to get good grades .
D. Many freshmen will get on well with others .
31. What does the last paragraph focus on
A. Ways that help keep students’ grades up .
B. Reasons why students fall behind in study .
C. Students’ difficulties in improving their grades .
D. Teachers’ worry about the future of their students .
D
Whether shyness is part of your child’s personality or just something they feel when they are in front of a group of strangers , it is a typical experience. “ Shyness isn’t always as socially valued as more outgoing personalities. However, we should step back and think about different personalities and their unique advantages,” said Pérez-Edgar , professor of psychology(心理学)at The Pennsylvania State University. “ Everyone can feel shy at times . And those who are especially shy often have happy social lives ----they just aren’t likely to be the liveliest person in a crowded room .”
But there are things to watch out for . If your children are avoiding situations that are important or could be enjoyable for them because they’re feeling nervous , it might be time to take action , said Chiappini , a child expert . “That could mean not speaking in class , trouble making friends , or not joining in activities they like .” she said .
Chiappini recommended first saying something like : “You seem a little nervous or unsure about who everyone is/what to say . We haven’t met them before and that can feel a little uncomfortable .”From there , you can encourage them to join someone or say something when they are ready -----with the promise that you will be there to support them , she added .
The more we avoid situations where kids may feel shy , the more anxiety（担心）we will have about them in the future . But that doesn’t mean to push your child into the deep end .
“We may have to deal with the situation step by step . For example , you may have to encourage your child just to make eye contact during an outing before expecting them to ask someone a question ,” Chiappini said .
32. What may Pérez - Edgar agree with
A. Shyness is not as bad as people have thought .
B. Children are more likely to feel shy than adults .
C. Shy people like to stay with lively people .
D. It’s difficult for people to get over shyness .
33. When should action be taken to help shy kids
A. When they ask for instructions from others .
B. When they feel nervous in school activities .
C. When they try hard to mix with other children .
D. When they are absent from important situations .
34. What does Chiappini advise parents to do at first
A. Tell their kids what they should say .
B. Ask their kids how they are feeling .
C. Help their kids stay away from some situations.
D. Show their kids they understand how they feel .
What can we infer from the last two paragraph
A. Parents should be strict with the shy children.
B. Parents should push the shy children to be outgoing.
C. Parents should be patiently guide the shy children.
D. Parents should encourage shy children to make eye contact with them .

Dear fellow students,
Welcome to senior high! It’s a great honor to be here and deliver a speech on behalf of our school. As freshmen, you are likely to face a variety of problems. Don't worry about them. In fact, the situation is easy to change if you take my advice. Here are some tips to help you．
To begin with, why not invite some of your classmates to take part in some activities together after school This will help you understand each other better by communicating with others. In addition, try your best to help others when they are in trouble. Just as the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed. Last but not least, it would be a good idea to ask them to help you when you have difficulty. It is well known to us all that good friends should share happiness and sorrow. I believe, through your effort, you will adapt to new school life and make a lot of friends.
In a word, we may meet with different problems, but if we go all out , we can overcome them and achieve the goals we set.
That’ all. Thank you for listening!
听力材料
【原文1】W: You have thinned down a lot. How did you do it
M: Well, I just try to drive less, walk more and force myself to climb the stairs instead of taking the elevator.
W: Sounds great. Eating right can also help keep our weight down.
【原文2】M: Anne, our order hasn’t come yet.
W: Yes. I guess the waiter forgot our order. Actually I was going to order takeout at home.
【原文3】W: Peter, what do you think of the speech I think it’s inspiring.
M: I don’t find it inspiring at all. Quite the contrary, I just want it to be over with.
【原文4】M: Good morning, I bought the sweater yesterday. But it doesn’t fit.
W: Oh, I know. Do you want to change it for another size
M: No. I found the sweater was faulty. So can I get my money back
【原文5】W: Please give me a second. I’ll see whether Dr. Banks is available.
M: OK.
W: Sorry, he’s with a patient right now. It’s probably going to be about another 30 minutes. Would you mind waiting a little longer
M: I’ve been waiting since 8:20 and it’s been half an hour.
【原文6】M: Good evening, what can I do for you
W: Hello, this is Anna in Room 102. I’d like to order some food.
M: Sure, what would you like to order
W: Could you please bring me pasta and a chocolate cake
M: OK. Would you like something to drink
W: Yes, a bottle of wine, please.
M: Sorry, ma’am. We only serve soft drinks from the kitchen. You can find alcohol drinks from the mini bar in your room.
W: Great. I’ll get it. Thanks.
【原文7】W: Good morning, I’d like to open a bank account.
M: OK. What kind of account would you like to open
W: Could you please introduce the different types of accounts to me
M: Sure. We have checking accounts and saving accounts. Checking accounts are for everyday transactions, such as purchases, bill payments. Saving accounts are for saving money and earning interest over time.
W: Actually I’d like to apply for a debit card (借记卡). Does that mean I need to open a checking account
M: Yes, you’re right. And there is a minimum deposit of 25 dollars.
W: I know. Here you are.
M: OK. Just fill in the form and I’ll give you a temporary card. Today is Monday. New bank card will be mailed within three days.
W: Thank you.
【原文8】W: Arthur, stop staring at the TV screen. There’s something wrong with my e and help me with it.
M: Just a moment. The chicken looks so delicious. I think I need to make a note of this recipe.
W: Come on. I’m in a hurry to use my computer. I’ll take it to a shop and have it repaired professionally if you can’t fix it.
M: Okay, okay. Let me see... Oh, the problem is beyond my ability.
W: What should I do I’ve got work to do.
M: Why not turn to Allen I’m sure he will solve the problem soon. Moreover, he actually lives next door.
W: Good idea.
【原文9】M: Excuse me, ma’am. But I think you’re in my seat.
W: Oh, I’m sorry. Hey! Ian! What a surprise! It’s me, Alice. We were classmates in high school.
M: Alice! Fancy meeting you here. Long time no see.
W: Yeah, it’s been ages. I haven’t seen you since graduation. You look very different now. I almost didn’t recognize you.
M: Really Well, you haven’t changed a lot, but you look more elegant than before.
W: Thanks. By the way, you didn’t show up at our 10-year high school reunion last year. We all thought it was a pity.
M: I was abroad on a business trip and couldn’t make it. Was I the only one absent from the party
W: No. Actually Mark and Helen didn’t attend the party, either. They were on their honeymoon.
M: What I can’t believe they got married.
W: Yes. Ian, would you like to see our monitor David after we get off the plane He lives in Paris now. I’ve arranged to meet him at the coffee shop. I’m sure he’ll be glad to see you.
M: OK.
【原文10】W: I have a question for all of us. Is all winning success Winning is really, really fun. But I am here to share my idea: Winning does not always equal success. All around the world, we have created the win-at-all-costs culture. We have become so focused on that end result instead of the process, and particularly when the end result is a win. Real success is developing champions in life for our world, win or lose. We may be able to plan our way to a win, but we can’t plan our way to success. Back to 1990, when I was first made the head coach of the UCLA Women’s Gymnastics Team. I acted like a head coach whose only thought was to figure out how to win. So I became tough-talking and mean. Our team asked me for a team meeting for over two hours. They gave me examples of how my arrogance was hurtful. Then I chose to change. It is so much easier to give orders than to figure out how to motivate someone to be better. We all know this motivation takes a really long time to take root. The key to promote motivation is to develop trust through patience and honesty. We are all coaches in some ways. We all have the responsibility to develop champions in life for our world. This is what real success looks like, and that is what we call a win-win.
