Mike was unhappy in class these days. One of his teachers noticed this. He called Mike out and asked, “I often see you sitting alone. What’s the matter ”
Mike said, “I lost the football match and did badly in one exam. Every time I think of them, I feel upset.” After hearing this, the teacher asked Mike to come to his house on the weekend.
When Mike got to the teacher’s house, the teacher welcomed him and asked, “Would you like to drink a cup of lemon water ” Mike answered, “Yes, please.” The teacher brought a cup of lemon water to him. As soon as Mike drank it, he made a strange face. Seeing this, the teacher asked, “Don’t you like it ”
Mike said, “There is too much salt in it.”
The teacher said, “Oh, no problem. I will throw it away and make a new one.”
As the teacher was going to pick up the cup, Mike stopped him and said, “Sir, there is no need to throw it away. If we add some sugar to it, it will be fine.”
“Good. Now think about this. Too much salt in lemon water is like the bad experience we have in life. To enhance the taste, we don’t need to throw it away. Instead, we add sugar. Similarly, we cannot control the happening of terrible things in our life. But we can make our life better by adding something good,” the teacher said. Mike finally understood what he should do.

It’s not easy growing up. Growing up can be a real “pain” for some of us. We are always doing things that someone else makes us do and aren’t allowed to do all the things we like. Sometimes we feel sad, sometimes we are fearful, and sometimes we just don’t understand why we can’t stay young forever. But we should take a look back on all the painful things in life with a positive attitude (态度) and we should learn from them. We should realize that all of our growing pains actually turn into growing gains!
Throughout our lives we are going to face many challenges and pains, but we should never let these difficulties keep us from following our dreams. We must overcome them one small step at a time.
As a young girl, my parents asked me to do so many things that I didn’t like. They made me learn to play the violin and then the piano. At that time I hated music and I also hated them. But looking back now, I am so glad that my parents encouraged me to take music lessons. Music has enriched my life in so many ways. I now understand that my parents and teachers wanted me to have a better life.
We are all going to experience growing pains, but they are just part of our life. Think about how we would feel if we had no challenges and lived a life like that. Life would be really boring and meaningless. The future is ours! A little hard work and sweat never hurt anyone! If we realize that these pains are just small bumps (碰撞) on our road to success, we will realize that our growing pains are actually growing gains!
( ) 62. What should we do when we look back on the painful things in life
A. Feel sorry for them. B. Be afraid of them.
C. Pay attention to them. D. Learn from them.
( ) 63. How does the writer feel now about what her parents did for her in the past
A. Surprised. B. Unhappy.
C. Thankful. D. Angry.
( ) 64. Which of the following is WRONG according to the text
A. Growing pains are part of our life.
B. Our growing pains will finally turn into growing gains.
C. Life without challenges is boring and meaningless.
D. Successful people never experience growing pains.
( ) 65. Which can be the best title for the text
A. Growing Up Is a Real Pain
B. Growing Up Is Quite Hard
C. Growing Pains Are Challenges
D. Growing Pains Are Growing Gains
D
My friend, Robert, has a twin sister named Amanda. Though they get along well, there are some things about Amanda and her friends that puzzle (困惑) him. He can’t understand how girls can talk for long. For example, sometimes when he leaves home to play football, Amanda and her friend, Sharon, are sitting on the sofa, talking. When he comes back three hours later, they’re still sitting there, going on with the same topic.
Boys and girls have different attitudes towards friendship. Friendships between girls are usually about sharing feelings and support, but boys prefer to share activities or interests. A boy seems to be more careful about sharing his feelings with his friends. A girl’s closest friend, however, might always be about to tell her about something that has happened in her life.
Many studies show that girls have more friendships than boys. In fact, many teenage boys cannot name a single best friend. When asked, they hesitate before answering, “My best friend Er, I don’t think about that, and I have so many different friends that it is hard to choose just one best friend.” Girls who have been asked can usually answer the question without thinking, “A best friend Of course. We have a lot to share with each other and do a lot of things together.”
We have to realize: boys share activities, while girls share feelings more. But the most important thing to remember is that both of them need friendship.
( ) 66. How does the writer start the text
A. By giving examples. B. By showing reasons.
C. By asking questions. D. By listing numbers.
( ) 67. The underlined word “hesitate” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_____”.
A. tell the answers quickly B. are shy to speak in public
C. are slow to tell the answers D. share feelings seriously
( ) 68. What do you know about friendship from the text
A. Studies show that boys have more friends than girls.
B. Boys and girls have different ways to deal with friendship.
C. Both boys and girls are quite sure who their best friends are.
D. There is no need to share activities and feelings in friendship.

As you grow older, you’ll be faced with some challenging decisions—like whether to cut class or try cigarettes. Making decisions on your own is hard enough, but when other people take part in and try to press you one way or another, it can be even harder. People who are your age, like your classmates, are called peers. When they try to influence how you act, to get you to do something, it’s called peer pressure.
Peers can have a positive influence on each other. Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in the solar system(太阳系). Maybe you got others excited about your new favourite book, and now everyone is reading it. These are examples of how peers positively influence each other.
Sometimes peers influence each other in negative ways. For example, a few kids in school might try to get you to cut class with them. Your soccer friend might try to convince (劝说) you to be mean to another player and never pass him the ball.
It is tough to be the only one who says “no” to peer pressure, but you can do it. Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do.
You’ve probably had a parent or a teacher advising you to “choose your friends wisely”. Peer pressure is a big reason why they say this. If you choose friends who don’t cut class, smoke cigarettes, or lie to their parents, then you probably won’t do these things either, even if other kids do.
If you continue to face peer pressure and you’re finding it difficult to deal with, talk to someone you trust. Don’t feel guilty（内疚的）if you’ve made a mistake or two.
( ) 69. What does the underlined word “him” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. Another player. B. Your soccer friend.
C. Your father. D. Your teacher.
( ) 70. Which of the following may help deal with peer pressure
A. Spending more time with classmates.
B. Taking up more relaxing hobbies.
C. Helping others who are in trouble.
D. Choosing friends with no bad habits.
( ) 71. Both Paragraph 2 and 3 are developed _______.
A. by space B. by time
C. by stories D. by examples
( ) 72. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage

One sunny morning, a young boy named Daniel was walking through a forest when he noticed a small, struggling butterfly trying to break free from its cocoon (茧). Curious, Daniel stopped to watch. The butterfly was pushing hard, but it seemed stuck (被卡住). Feeling sorry for the little creature (生物), Daniel decided to help. He gently tore (撕开) open the cocoon, and the butterfly came out easily. However, something was wrong. The butterfly’s wings were shriveled (皱缩的) and weak. So it couldn’t fly. Daniel didn’t understand what had happened.
An old man passing by saw the scene and explained, “The struggle to break free from the cocoon is what gives the butterfly the strength to fly. By helping it, you took away its chance to grow strong.” Daniel realized his mistake. He had wanted to help, but his actions had actually harmed the butterfly. He knew that challenges and struggles are necessary for growth. Sometimes, what seems like a kind act can prevent someone from developing the strength they need to succeed in life.

Stand taller, be stronger
In my life, I once faced some difficulties that made me upset. Luckily, I tried my best to work them out. Let me share my experience with you.
I once found it hard to do well in math. I always felt nervous before tests and worried about my grades. To solve this problem, I asked my teacher for help and made a study plan. Besides, I exercised every day to keep fit and relax. Gradually, I felt more confident and got better at math.
Through this experience, I learned never to give up and to always believe in myself. Difficulties can truly help us grow braver and stronger.
