A
There are many fun,free activities that you can do as a family.All that is required is a bit of imagination and some time.And the best part is that these are the kind of fun and family memories that a child will remember for a lifetime.
Family Game Night
Kids often get games for Christmas or birthdays,and would love to have a chance to play with their family or make up some games of their own.Charades (打哑谜猜字游戏) is a fun game that will challenge children to use their imagination.Divide the family into teams and let each team come up with words and the other has to act out.
Family Art Time
Pick some time for the family to sit down and come up with their own art.It doesn’t need to be just a drawing—take some old magazines,let the kids cut out pictures and paste them into their own shape.Or let them use leaves,branches and whatever else they can find to make something from their imagination.
Family Picnic
Taking the family for a picnic is a great way for some fun that doesn’t cost any money.If the weather is nice,take them to a park or playground and let them have a day of playing.
Family Field Trip
A family field trip doesn’t have to cost a cent.Ask a nearby farm if you could bring your kids out for a tour to see some of the animals.Or take them to a park to find certain items from nature.Ask a local business if you could bring the family for a tour to see how things work—you might be surprised at the number of people who would be excited to share what they do with others,and it could be an interesting lesson for kids.
【语篇导读】 本文是应用文。文章主要介绍了几个以家庭为单位的免费活动,这些活动能带给参与的家庭很多的乐趣和回忆。
(　　)21.When playing the game charades,what are kids supposed to do
[A]Prepare some cakes for each other.
[B]Be quick to follow others’ actions.
[C]Sing a song for each other in turn.
[D]Connect actions with certain words.
(　　)22.What can be inferred from the last paragraph
[A]It costs a lot to visit a park for a family.
[B]You may share your own experience with workers.
[C]You should ask for permission from the farm owner.
[D]All the people will be excited to share what they have with you.
(　　)23.Who is the passage mainly intended for
[A]Teachers. [B]Parents.
[C]Tourists. [D]Teenagers.

As a college student in Boston,I formed the habit of buying used books.I enjoy the hunt,the good price and the unrecognised treasures.I find old textbooks,ex-bestsellers,and books on subjects I’ve never heard of and now must learn all about.I don’t search for rare books,first editions,or leather-bound editions but books that are worth reading.
Rereading,for me,is a pleasure during retirement.The theater and the concert hall become less appealing to me,along with crowds.Staying alone and reading books have become extremely important to me.Literature needs the flesh of experience to have its full effect.Different books offer me insights (见解) and ways of expressing that stuck in my mind as grains of sand in an oyster (牡蛎) now shine like pearls.My taste in books improves with age.
While packing for a move,which occurs at intervals of five to seven years,I clear my shelves and pick my books.I abandon a few,later regret my decisions,and look for them again.Several years ago,I got rid of books related to my job—architecture.Some were design guides,reference books,product catalogs,and things that went out of date.Some were historical or centered on a period or an architect.These had given me many hours of pleasure.Will I ever open their covers again Certainly.I held on to the red bulk of Sir Banister Fletcher’s A History of Architecture and books on Paris,Rome,and Boston.
I gave away drafting equipment and instruments.I threw out rolls and rolls of paper,and old drawings of projects completed long ago,some of which had even been damaged.This time,I stay in a cottage that suits my status and I’ve moved on in spirit.No doubt I will acquire more used books and throw away more books as passions grow and fade,like feathers changing with the seasons.
【语篇导读】 本文是夹叙夹议文。作者从购买二手书的经历、重新阅读的意义和不断更新自己的读物等几个方面说明了阅读的重要性和意义。
(　　)24.What does the author consider most important when choosing used books
[A]Their price.
[B]Their editions.
[C]Their content.
[D]Their packaging.
(　　)25.What does the author realize as he grows older
[A]He likes the theater and the concert hall more.
[B]He will not open the abandoned books again.
[C]He keeps drafting equipment and instruments.
[D]He has a deeper understanding of life and books.
(　　)26.Why does the author mention books on architecture
[A]To show some books are worth reading repeatedly.
[B]To show he can get much pleasure when reading books.
[C]To show he loves his job—architecture.
[D]To show he always regrets his decisions.
(　　)27.What can we learn about the author from the last paragraph
[A]He will stop throwing away used books.
[B]He will update his collection of used books.
[C]He doesn’t like old drawings of projects.
[D]He enjoys leading an active life in the countryside.

Many of us spend a considerable part of our lives working—with some of us,according to personal preference,working from home.While there are many benefits offered by not going to the office—not commuting (通勤),avoiding the rat race,and not having to worry about getting a seat if you hot-desk—there are also some disadvantages.No more coffees with colleagues,daily chats by the water cooler or going out for team-bonding meals.Actually,it is important to be friends with those we work with.
Firstly,working with like-minded people can make those hours at work more fruitful and positive.Various situations are commonplace in the job you do,so having people to talk to about the difficulties of tasks could make your life easier.It’s also nice knowing that you can have jokes or a chat with people at work—and some of your colleagues may become your lifelong friends.Besides,it’s also good for the company you work for.According to Dr Emma Seppala,people who said they had friends at work were more productive,and were more satisfied with their jobs than those who didn’t.
And what can happen if you don’t connect—if you don’t stimulate (促进) your relationships with those who do the same job as you While it can be easy to avoid them physically,Dr Adam Hickman says that feelings of loneliness may come slowly,which makes sense.According to Maslow’s levels of needs,a psychological (心理的) theory which tries to explain human behaviour and motivation based on necessities,a feeling of belonging is one of the strongest psychological needs.No one wants to be where they feel unwanted,which is why many companies try to encourage workplace interaction—be it ping-pong tables in the office,or online parties.
And finally,having a good relationship with our colleagues,without doubt,would make our working atmosphere much more pleasant.So,if you’ve had a rupture in your relationship with your workmates,it might be time to start fixing it.
【语篇导读】 本文是议论文。文章主要论述了与同事交朋友的重要性。
(　　)28.What do you know about working from home according to Paragraph 1

[C]The necessity of making lifelong friends.
[D]The importance of befriending with colleagues.
(　　)30.What might happen if you don’t connect with your colleagues
[A]You will gain motivation.
[B]You will have more psychological needs.
[C]You will lack a sense of belonging.
[D]You will experience immediate loneliness.
(　　)31.What does the underlined word “rupture” in the last paragraph mean

[C]Emergency. [D]Balance.

People who sleep fewer than six hours a night are more likely to die early,researchers in University of Warwick have found in a recent study.They discovered that people who slept for less than six hours each night were 12% more likely to die before the age of 65 than those who slept the recommended six to eight hours a night.
The researchers pointed out that previous studies had shown that the lack of sleep was associated with problems like heart disease and high blood pressure.However,the researchers also found that sleeping too much was linked to an early death.Those who slept for more than nine hours a night were 30% more likely to die early,as an article in the latest authoritative journal suggested.That directly contradicts another passage in the same journal suggesting that people who slept for ten hours or longer a night were more likely to live to 100.This was thought to be because people who lived into extreme old age were healthier and therefore slept better.
However,the authors of the latest research contradicted this and suggested that long sleep was a sign of underlying illnesses such as depression and low levels of physical activity.
Professor Francesco Cappuccio at the University of Warwick said,“While short sleep may represent a cause of ill-health,long sleep is believed to represent more an indicator of ill-health.”
He also mentioned,“Modern society has seen a gradual reduction in the average amount of sleep people take,and this pattern is more common among full-time workers suggesting that it may be due to social pressures for longer working hours.On the other hand,the worsening of our health is often accompanied by an extension of our sleeping time.”
Consistently sleeping six to eight hours per night may be good for health.However,Professor Francesco Cappuccio added,“Whether to achieve the goal depends on various factors such as the environment as well as measures of public health aimed at favourable changes of the working environments.”
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。华威大学的研究人员经过研究发现,每晚睡眠不足6小时的人死亡风险更大,每晚睡6至8小时最合适,而每晚10小时或更长时间的睡眠则被认为是健康不良的一个指标。
(　　)32.What did researchers in University of Warwick find
[A]Six to eight hours’ sleep can be appropriate for people.
[B]People at an old age are healthier because they sleep longer.
[C]People who sleep fewer than 6 hours each night die before 65.
[D]Sleeping for more than 9 hours a night does good to one’s health.
(　　)33.What is Professor Francesco Cappuccio most likely to agree with
[A]How long we sleep depends on our education.
[B]Our health becomes worse because we sleep less.
[C]Modern people sleep less because they work longer.
[D]Long sleep is what causes our health problems.
(　　)34.What did the researcher think may help people have proper sleep
[A]Social pressures.
[B]Extension of sleeping time.
[C]Longer working hours.
[D]Changes of working environments.
(　　)35.What can be a suitable title for this passage
[A]Time to Sleep Early
[B]How Long Should We Sleep
[C]The Importance of Sleep
[D]Longer Sleep Makes Better Health

How often have you thought:“When I lose this weight,I’ll be more confident and happy ” Yes,you might be,but often the effect is short-lived.You’re then looking for the next thing and the next.36.　　　 And that starts with your mindset and becoming healthier and stronger physically and mentally at the same time.
·Develop a healthy attitude towards yourself.Accept yourself as the unique individual you are today.Focus on your own journey,rather than waste time comparing yourself to others.
Don’t be mean(刻薄的),critical or judgemental to anyone—including yourself!37.　　
·38.　　　 Be curious about how you honestly feel about yourself,and try to go beyond “I don’t like my body”.Try closing your eyes and slowly focusing on each part of your body and see what thoughts,feelings and emotions arise.We often avoid thoughts that are uncomfortable or painful.39.　　　 This isn’t about solving them,but exploring them might bring new insight and reduce their power.
·Take action that works for you.40.　　　 Building a personal toolkit (工具箱) of exercises to use when your thoughts are slipping to the negative will keep you on track to having a positive body image.
The long-term change will come from the internal work you do.Remember that true beauty is much more than skin deep.
A.Be kind,supportive and respect yourself.
B.The trick is to work on your body confidence now.
C.Explore your thoughts and feelings about your body.
D.Instead,learn to observe them and how they make you feel.
E.Write down three things you’re grateful to your body each day.
F.Try to focus back on the present moments,whatever you are doing.
G.It may require a bit of time to find what works for you,but it’s worth it.

“Oh,dear,I am surprised you didn’t know that your little brother is blind!” Hearing Nathan’s words,I was extremely desperate to find out the truth about my two-year-old brother,David.
With a misty vision,I ran home as fast as I could.Still out of breath,I questioned,“Is David blind ” Mother turned to me with tears in her eyes.“Yes,he’s born blind.” It was a heartbreaking moment.I knew clearly the dream of showing David my cool soccer moves or playing games with him ended cruelly.“Why did you keep the truth from me I often wondered why he didn’t look at me or why he was always tripping over things and I thought it was because he was still too young...” Before I could continue any further,mother hugged me and cried,“I’m sorry,Caleb.Dad and I just didn’t know how to tell you.”
Suddenly,it struck me that David was blind but he could still hear the whole conversation.
Not wanting him to be affected by it,I stopped crying and went forward and embraced him.“I love you so much,David.” Worry crept upon me:How hard life would be for him!
Little did I know that David was to inspire me so greatly.
As David grew up,he was fairly strong-willed.Despite the challenges that he faced,he continued to attend the school for visually impaired children.He insisted he would take the bus home on his own.Often,he would walk through the main door looking sheepish and saying the same phrase,“Sorry Mum,I am late.I boarded the wrong bus again.”
Tough as life was,there was always silver lining of misfortune.Despite not being able to see,he could play a piece of music after listening to it being played once on the piano.He even dreamed of playing solo (独奏) one day onstage.Luckily for him,the school had discovered David’s extraordinary talent.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
One day,David burst through the main door excitedly.
Paragraph 2:

M:I didn’t know there was going to be a concert.Who’s playing
W:The Golden Sail Orchestra from Beijing No.101 High School.
M:Oh,great!I heard an orchestra like that a few days ago.It was very unusual.All the players were teenagers.

M:They are excellent musicians.I just loved that last concert and I’m sure I’ll enjoy this one,too.I’m glad you asked me.
W:The concert starts at 7:00 this evening.Do you want to go out to eat dinner first

M:OK.Close your books.Listen,please,and write notes on Elizabeth Ⅰ.Ready Tom!What are you doing Listen to me!Well,OK.Elizabeth’s father,Henry Ⅷ,married Anne Boleyn in 1533.Elizabeth was born in the same year.
W:Can you repeat the date,please
M:Yes,it’s 1533.Then,when Elizabeth was only three years old,Henry killed Elizabeth’s mother.And he sent Elizabeth away.But she had a good classical education.
W:Excuse me.Can you explain that,please
M:Yes,a “classical education”means you study ancient Greek and Latin.She could speak and write six different languages and Elizabeth also loved music and the theatre.And the Elizabeth period was a very interesting time for the theatre.Remember,Elizabeth was queen from 1558 to 1603.This period was a very exciting time in English history.Sir Francis Drake sailed around the world and Walter Raleigh went to America...
W:Can you spell that,please
M:What,America
W:No,Raleigh.
M:Yes,Walter Raleigh,it’s W-A-L-T-E-R,R-A-L-E-I-G-H.Walter Raleigh introduced new things to Europe—tobacco,potatoes and coffee.

M:My friend,Vernon Davis kept birds.One day he phoned and told me he was going away for a week.He asked me to feed the birds for him and said that he would leave the key to his front door in my mailbox.Unfortunately,I forgot all about the birds until the night before Vernon was going to return.What was worse,it was already dark when I arrived at his house.I soon found the key Vernon left for me could not unlock either the front door or the back door.I was getting anxious and disappointed.I kept thinking of what Vernon would say when he came back.I was just going to give up when I noticed that one bedroom window was slightly open.I found a thick stick and pushed it under the window.I made a lot of noise.But in the end,I managed to climb up and open the window.I actually had one leg inside the bedroom when I suddenly realised that someone was shining a flashlight at me.I looked down and saw a policeman and an old lady,one of Vernon’s neighbours.I felt like a complete fool at that time.

第二部分　阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
There are many fun,free activities that you can do as a family.All that is required is a bit of imagination and some time.And the best part is that these are the kind of fun and family memories that a child will remember for a lifetime.
Family Game Night
Kids often get games for Christmas or birthdays,and would love to have a chance to play with their family or make up some games of their own.Charades (打哑谜猜字游戏) is a fun game that will challenge children to use their imagination.Divide the family into teams and let each team come up with words and the other has to act out.
Family Art Time
Pick some time for the family to sit down and come up with their own art.It doesn’t need to be just a drawing—take some old magazines,let the kids cut out pictures and paste them into their own shape.Or let them use leaves,branches and whatever else they can find to make something from their imagination.
Family Picnic
Taking the family for a picnic is a great way for some fun that doesn’t cost any money.If the weather is nice,take them to a park or playground and let them have a day of playing.
Family Field Trip
A family field trip doesn’t have to cost a cent.Ask a nearby farm if you could bring your kids out for a tour to see some of the animals.Or take them to a park to find certain items from nature.Ask a local business if you could bring the family for a tour to see how things work—you might be surprised at the number of people who would be excited to share what they do with others,and it could be an interesting lesson for kids.

As a college student in Boston,I formed the habit of buying used books.I enjoy the hunt,the good price and the unrecognised treasures.I find old textbooks,ex-bestsellers,and books on subjects I’ve never heard of and now must learn all about.I don’t search for rare books,first editions,or leather-bound editions but books that are worth reading.
Rereading,for me,is a pleasure during retirement.The theater and the concert hall become less appealing to me,along with crowds.Staying alone and reading books have become extremely important to me.Literature needs the flesh of experience to have its full effect.Different books offer me insights (见解) and ways of expressing that stuck in my mind as grains of sand in an oyster (牡蛎) now shine like pearls.My taste in books improves with age.
While packing for a move,which occurs at intervals of five to seven years,I clear my shelves and pick my books.I abandon a few,later regret my decisions,and look for them again.Several years ago,I got rid of books related to my job—architecture.Some were design guides,reference books,product catalogs,and things that went out of date.Some were historical or centered on a period or an architect.These had given me many hours of pleasure.Will I ever open their covers again Certainly.I held on to the red bulk of Sir Banister Fletcher’s A History of Architecture and books on Paris,Rome,and Boston.
I gave away drafting equipment and instruments.I threw out rolls and rolls of paper,and old drawings of projects completed long ago,some of which had even been damaged.This time,I stay in a cottage that suits my status and I’ve moved on in spirit.No doubt I will acquire more used books and throw away more books as passions grow and fade,like feathers changing with the seasons.

Many of us spend a considerable part of our lives working—with some of us,according to personal preference,working from home.While there are many benefits offered by not going to the office—not commuting (通勤),avoiding the rat race,and not having to worry about getting a seat if you hot-desk—there are also some disadvantages.No more coffees with colleagues,daily chats by the water cooler or going out for team-bonding meals.Actually,it is important to be friends with those we work with.
Firstly,working with like-minded people can make those hours at work more fruitful and positive.Various situations are commonplace in the job you do,so having people to talk to about the difficulties of tasks could make your life easier.It’s also nice knowing that you can have jokes or a chat with people at work—and some of your colleagues may become your lifelong friends.Besides,it’s also good for the company you work for.According to Dr Emma Seppala,people who said they had friends at work were more productive,and were more satisfied with their jobs than those who didn’t.
And what can happen if you don’t connect—if you don’t stimulate (促进) your relationships with those who do the same job as you While it can be easy to avoid them physically,Dr Adam Hickman says that feelings of loneliness may come slowly,which makes sense.According to Maslow’s levels of needs,a psychological (心理的) theory which tries to explain human behaviour and motivation based on necessities,a feeling of belonging is one of the strongest psychological needs.No one wants to be where they feel unwanted,which is why many companies try to encourage workplace interaction—be it ping-pong tables in the office,or online parties.
And finally,having a good relationship with our colleagues,without doubt,would make our working atmosphere much more pleasant.So,if you’ve had a rupture in your relationship with your workmates,it might be time to start fixing it.
【语篇导读】 本文是议论文。文章主要论述了与同事交朋友的重要性。
(　　)28.What do you know about working from home according to Paragraph 1
[A]There are no coffees.
[B]There are no outside meals.
[C]There are no daily chats.
[D]There are no worries about traffic.
【答案】 D
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第一段内容可知,在家办公就不用去办公室,不用通勤,即不用担心交通问题。故选D。
(　　)29.What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us
[A]The benefits of making lifelong friends.
[B]The way of befriending with colleagues.
[C]The necessity of making lifelong friends.
[D]The importance of befriending with colleagues.
【答案】 D
【解析】 段落大意题。根据第二段的第一句和最后两句可知,本段主要通过举例和引证专家的观点来说明与同事成为朋友的重要性。故选D。
(　　)30.What might happen if you don’t connect with your colleagues
[A]You will gain motivation.
[B]You will have more psychological needs.
[C]You will lack a sense of belonging.
[D]You will experience immediate loneliness.
【答案】 C
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知,如果你不与同事联系,你可能会缺乏归属感。故选C。
(　　)31.What does the underlined word “rupture” in the last paragraph mean
[A]Breakdown. [B]Battle.
[C]Emergency. [D]Balance.
【答案】 A
【解析】 猜测词义题。根据画线词所在句中“start fixing it”可推知,条件状语从句中假设了你与同事的关系出现了“破裂”,所以需要修复它,画线词意为“(关系的)破裂”,与breakdown意思相近。故选A。
D
People who sleep fewer than six hours a night are more likely to die early,researchers in University of Warwick have found in a recent study.They discovered that people who slept for less than six hours each night were 12% more likely to die before the age of 65 than those who slept the recommended six to eight hours a night.
The researchers pointed out that previous studies had shown that the lack of sleep was associated with problems like heart disease and high blood pressure.However,the researchers also found that sleeping too much was linked to an early death.Those who slept for more than nine hours a night were 30% more likely to die early,as an article in the latest authoritative journal suggested.That directly contradicts another passage in the same journal suggesting that people who slept for ten hours or longer a night were more likely to live to 100.This was thought to be because people who lived into extreme old age were healthier and therefore slept better.
However,the authors of the latest research contradicted this and suggested that long sleep was a sign of underlying illnesses such as depression and low levels of physical activity.
Professor Francesco Cappuccio at the University of Warwick said,“While short sleep may represent a cause of ill-health,long sleep is believed to represent more an indicator of ill-health.”
He also mentioned,“Modern society has seen a gradual reduction in the average amount of sleep people take,and this pattern is more common among full-time workers suggesting that it may be due to social pressures for longer working hours.On the other hand,the worsening of our health is often accompanied by an extension of our sleeping time.”
Consistently sleeping six to eight hours per night may be good for health.However,Professor Francesco Cappuccio added,“Whether to achieve the goal depends on various factors such as the environment as well as measures of public health aimed at favourable changes of the working environments.”
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。华威大学的研究人员经过研究发现,每晚睡眠不足6小时的人死亡风险更大,每晚睡6至8小时最合适,而每晚10小时或更长时间的睡眠则被认为是健康不良的一个指标。
(　　)32.What did researchers in University of Warwick find
[A]Six to eight hours’ sleep can be appropriate for people.
[B]People at an old age are healthier because they sleep longer.
[C]People who sleep fewer than 6 hours each night die before 65.
[D]Sleeping for more than 9 hours a night does good to one’s health.
【答案】 A
【解析】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“They discovered that...to eight hours a night.”可知,研究人员发现,每晚睡眠不足6小时的人在65岁之前死亡的可能性比那些每晚睡足6至8小时的人高出12%。由此可推出,每晚睡足6至8小时是比较合适的。故选A。
(　　)33.What is Professor Francesco Cappuccio most likely to agree with
[A]How long we sleep depends on our education.
[B]Our health becomes worse because we sleep less.
[C]Modern people sleep less because they work longer.
[D]Long sleep is what causes our health problems.
【答案】 C
【解析】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第一句可知,Professor Francesco Cappuccio认为睡眠不足在全职工作者中更为常见,这可能是社会压力导致的长时间工作造成的。故选C。
(　　)34.What did the researcher think may help people have proper sleep
[A]Social pressures.
[B]Extension of sleeping time.
[C]Longer working hours.
[D]Changes of working environments.
【答案】 D
【解析】 细节理解题。根据最后一段的内容可知,能否实现每晚睡足6至8小时这个目标取决于环境的改变以及针对工作环境变化的公共卫生措施等多种因素。由此可知,工作环境的改变是帮助人们获得适当睡眠的方法之一。故选D。
(　　)35.What can be a suitable title for this passage
[A]Time to Sleep Early
[B]How Long Should We Sleep
[C]The Importance of Sleep
[D]Longer Sleep Makes Better Health
【答案】 B
【解析】 标题归纳题。文章第一段点明研究结果:每晚睡眠不足6小时的人在65岁之前死亡的可能性比那些每晚睡足6至8小时的人高出12%。下文针对这一研究结果,分析了导致这种结果的原因,解决方法等。故第一段是中心段,其余各段都围绕着“应睡多长时间”这一话题展开。B项适合作为文章标题。故选B。

How often have you thought:“When I lose this weight,I’ll be more confident and happy ” Yes,you might be,but often the effect is short-lived.You’re then looking for the next thing and the next.36.　　　 And that starts with your mindset and becoming healthier and stronger physically and mentally at the same time.
·Develop a healthy attitude towards yourself.Accept yourself as the unique individual you are today.Focus on your own journey,rather than waste time comparing yourself to others.
Don’t be mean(刻薄的),critical or judgemental to anyone—including yourself!37.　　
·38.　　　 Be curious about how you honestly feel about yourself,and try to go beyond “I don’t like my body”.Try closing your eyes and slowly focusing on each part of your body and see what thoughts,feelings and emotions arise.We often avoid thoughts that are uncomfortable or painful.39.　　　 This isn’t about solving them,but exploring them might bring new insight and reduce their power.
·Take action that works for you.40.　　　 Building a personal toolkit (工具箱) of exercises to use when your thoughts are slipping to the negative will keep you on track to having a positive body image.
The long-term change will come from the internal work you do.Remember that true beauty is much more than skin deep.
A.Be kind,supportive and respect yourself.
B.The trick is to work on your body confidence now.
C.Explore your thoughts and feelings about your body.
D.Instead,learn to observe them and how they make you feel.
E.Write down three things you’re grateful to your body each day.
F.Try to focus back on the present moments,whatever you are doing.
G.It may require a bit of time to find what works for you,but it’s worth it.

　　One possible version:
Dear Jasmine,
I am sorry to hear that you are feeling overwhelmed and lacking freedom because your parents overprotect you.I can understand how frustrating it must be for you.
In situations like this,communication is crucial.It might be helpful to have an open and honest conversation with your parents about your feelings and concerns.Explain to them that although you appreciate their care and concern,you also need some space to grow and make decisions independently.
Hopefully,you can find a balance between your parents’ protection and your own independence.It is important to maintain a healthy relationship with them while at the same time insisting on your own needs.
Yours,
Li Hua

“Oh,dear,I am surprised you didn’t know that your little brother is blind!” Hearing Nathan’s words,I was extremely desperate to find out the truth about my two-year-old brother,David.
With a misty vision,I ran home as fast as I could.Still out of breath,I questioned,“Is David blind ” Mother turned to me with tears in her eyes.“Yes,he’s born blind.” It was a heartbreaking moment.I knew clearly the dream of showing David my cool soccer moves or playing games with him ended cruelly.“Why did you keep the truth from me I often wondered why he didn’t look at me or why he was always tripping over things and I thought it was because he was still too young...” Before I could continue any further,mother hugged me and cried,“I’m sorry,Caleb.Dad and I just didn’t know how to tell you.”
Suddenly,it struck me that David was blind but he could still hear the whole conversation.
Not wanting him to be affected by it,I stopped crying and went forward and embraced him.“I love you so much,David.” Worry crept upon me:How hard life would be for him!
Little did I know that David was to inspire me so greatly.
As David grew up,he was fairly strong-willed.Despite the challenges that he faced,he continued to attend the school for visually impaired children.He insisted he would take the bus home on his own.Often,he would walk through the main door looking sheepish and saying the same phrase,“Sorry Mum,I am late.I boarded the wrong bus again.”
Tough as life was,there was always silver lining of misfortune.Despite not being able to see,he could play a piece of music after listening to it being played once on the piano.He even dreamed of playing solo (独奏) one day onstage.Luckily for him,the school had discovered David’s extraordinary talent.

　　One possible version:
One day,David burst through the main door excitedly.Unable to conceal his delight and thrill ,he announced that the school would like him to play solo at the school music concert hall.The whole family was extremely thrilled for him,for it was a perfect opportunity to realise his music dream.There was also a bit worry that he might suffer a blow in case of failure,
which threw us into a hint of uneasiness .But we had faith in him.The following days witnessed him repeatedly practising the chosen music skillfully.Then came the big day when he would go onstage.
Tapping the ground with his walking stick,David entered the stage.With the widest smile on his face ,he walked towards the grand piano located in the middle of the stage.I sat up with anticipation,heart filled with pride .His fingers flew on the keys as his music filled the air of the concert hall.After the last note was played,the whole hall erupted into applause.
David stood up and took a bow,smiling broadly as the spotlight shone brightly on him .He would always be an inspiration to me.Through him,I learnt having a persevering spirit could overcome challenges and David truly had that.
