Over the past fifty years, my hometown has changed a lot. In the past, there were only muddy roads and very few cars. People mostly walked or rode bicycles to get around. Now the roads are much wider and far busier than before, filled with cars, buses, and motorcycles day and night.
The buildings have also changed. Fifty years ago, most buildings were short, simple, and made of brick or wood. Today, they are much taller and more modern, with glass and steel structures everywhere.
The environment has changed too. The air was fresher and cleaner before, but now it is more polluted because of the growing number of factories and cars. However, people are trying to plant more trees and build parks to make the city greener and healthier.
There are also more fun and convenient places now. We have a huge new shopping mall which is larger, brighter, and more exciting than the old market. Young people think life is more interesting and convenient now because there are more activities and things to do. But some old people still remember the past and say life was simpler, quieter, and more peaceful back then.

Do you have a landline at home These are phones that people plug (插入) into their living room walls. Mobile phones didn’t use to be so common at that time, so most families had a landline.

__②__
People today store plenty of information online, or on SD cards. But in the 1980s and 1990s, people used to use floppy disks.

Feelings are difficult to deal with, especially for a 4-year-old who doesn’t know why his mum won’t let him eat another cake and a 7-year-old who is unhappy because his dad returns to work and has to leave the playground early.
For parents, it’s very important to begin teaching children about their feelings as early as possible because their feelings influence (影响) every choice they make. Children who understand their feelings are less likely to act out by getting angry or fighting with others. They can use clear sentences to express their feelings.
A good way to help children learn about feelings is to talk about how different roles in TV series may feel. When watching TV, a parent could stop and ask the child, “How do you think he feels right now ” Then, discuss the feelings that person may experience and the reasons.
Doing so also teaches empathy (共鸣). Young children think the world centers around them, so it can be an experience for them to learn other people have feelings too. When young children can understand other people’s feelings, they are less likely to do bad things to them. For example, if a child knows that pushing his friend to the ground may make his friend sad, he will do so less.
Teaching a child about feelings will help him become mentally (精神上) strong. Children who have the skills to deal with their feelings will be so confident that they can deal with whatever they meet in their life.
1. What is a good way to help children learn about feelings according to the text
A. Asking children to leave the playground early.
B. Letting children eat more cakes to make them happy.
C. Making children fight with others to express feelings.
D. Talking about how different roles in TV series may feel.
2. If a child can understand others’ feelings, which of the following behaviors (行为) is he/she the least likely (最不可能) to do
A. Helping a younger kid who is lost. B. Sharing toys with a friend who is sad.
C. Laughing at a friend who fails an exam. D. Saying sorry to a classmate after hurting him/her.
3. What is the writer’s purpose of writing this passage
A. To describe how children express their feelings.
B. To advise parents to teach children about feelings early.
C. To explain why children don’t want to leave the playground.
D. To tell parents to let children eat as many cookies as they like.
