Many years ago, I was a shy boy and lived a very peaceful life. I liked school but I felt bored.
And then I started the fourth grade. My teacher, Mrs. Chen, was a young woman who was good at writing, art and music. Her class was very interesting.With her help, I started the Fun Club with some boys in my class. I also wrote a book called Through the Forest. And lots of my classmates liked it.
However, I was surprised when fifty years later I got a letter from a classmate about a reunion(聚会). A few days later, we had a reunion at Mrs.Chen's home. Reconnecting (重新联系) with Mrs. Chen was a journey back in time. Fifty years has passed, but my teacher still remembers every student.She even doesn't forget the class bully(恃强凌弱者)--a boy used to hit me with snowballs on my way to school. Lots of teachers thought bullying was nothing serious at that time, but Mrs. Chen didn't agree. She put a stop to it at once when she found out about it.
Now I appreciate the gifts Mrs. Chen has given me even more. It's never too late to say thanks to this fantastic teacher. I hope you are lucky enough to have one teacher like Mrs. Chen.

Everyone needs help sometimes. People depend on one another. That's why communities have special people ready to lend a helping hand to anyone who needs it.
For example, what would we do without a community fire station If a home catches fire, as the Jackson place did last week, it might be burned down and people get hurt... or worse. We're so lucky to have firemen to come to save people and put out the fire, safely. If the fire station hadn't come so fast,the Jacksons might have lost everything.
And what about our local police who protect our families, our homes and valuable things The police have helped so many families this past year,especially saving people and pets and protecting our houses and other things after the heavy rains.
Think about all the other service workers we have in this community. We have people who collect waste and rubbish and keep our community sanitary. We have road workers who put up and repair traffic signs and fix holes in the streets to protect not just us, but our cars! And where would this community be without the teachers in our school and the doctors, and nurses in our community hospitals
Think again about what we eat every day; think again about what we wear every day. We cannot produce them, but we use them all the time. We get a lot from all these tireless workers who keep our community running. We need these people in the community. We depend on each other. Let's support each other and help each other. Only in this way can we make our community a better place.

( )69. Which question could best help us find out the writer's purpose
A. Did the writer make us laugh
B. Did the writer want us to do something
C. Did the writer tell us about how to become a teacher
D. Did the writer teach us what to do when a fire breaks out
( )70. What is the best title for the passage

Anger (愤怒) often makes us uncomfortable. Seeing your child's anger can be especially uncomfortable. In order to relieve (缓解) this feeling, parents often encourage children to "stop crying" and say things like "It's nothing to cry about."It's moments like those that plant the seeds of unhealthy anger. The"stop crying"parents are just doing what they were taught by their own parents,who were probably taught by their parents on and on. However, we should learn how to create healthy anger in our kids.
If a child never sees his or her parents express anger, he or she should never express anger, either. But if parents always express their anger loudly, their child may start to think of anger as something that is always frightening.
The first thing you can do to create healthy anger in your children is to practice creating healthy anger in yourself. Once you're better at experiencing anger and expressing it in a healthy way, you'll be able to set a good example for your kids.
Stopping kids from expressing their feelings is wrong. You may feel bad when you believe you are wrong. When children express their feelings and are told that it's nothing to cry about, they come to know that they themselves are bad.
We need to raise them in an environment where it's safe to express feelings.Once you feel more comfortable with your own anger, you can teach your children why anger is a helpful feeling. When your kids express anger, help them examine what it is that has made them angry. Why did it make them angry How did it do that Then, you can teach them that those feelings are never wrong and our expressions of feelings are in our control.
Anger is natural and normal, and it can be experienced and expressed in a healthy way.
( )71. Why do parents say "It's nothing to cry about" to their children
A. To encourage them to stop crying. B. To make them uncomfortable.
C. To relieve their anger. D. To plant the seeds of unhealthy anger.
( )72. From the second paragraph we can infer(推断) .
A. parents have a great influence on their children
B. parents should get angry with their children
C. expressing anger loudly is right, not wrong
D. children should express their anger like their parents
( )73. Parents should set a good example for children by .
A. stopping them from expressing their anger
B. expressing their own anger in a healthy way
C. letting them know they are right or wrong
D. raising them in a safe environment
( )74. The writer thinks that anger is a kind of feeling that is always .
A.wrong B. uncomfortable C. harmful D. helpful
( )75. What's the main idea of the passage
A. Anger often makes us and our children uncomfortable.
B. Parents should create healthy anger in themselves.
C. Parents should create healthy anger in their kids.
D. Parents should never express their anger.

How to Communicate with Our Parents
Communication with parents is one of the first things we have done since we were born. As we grow older, we'll find it's not easy to communicate with our parents openly and effectively. So what should we do when communicating with them Here are some of my ideas.
Firstly, we can make a list of things our parents and we disagree about most.Try to find out the reason why we disagree with each other. Accept each others' ideas little by little. If we still have disagreements, we'd better not get too angry.Secondly, we should talk with them more! Sharing ideas can make us closer.Besides, we should also learn how to really listen. Listening is a skill that must be learned and practiced. Finally, be sure to be polite. We are a family in which everyone is loved and cared for.
