You have to be very responsible if you have decided to keep birds as petsIf you really want to acquire a panion, think in advance whether you are able to handle itDepending on what pet bird you are going to have and how big it is, the cost is differentFor example, the cost of a fortable cage, the cost for nutritional food and the money for some additional things should be taken into considerationThere are also some unexpected costFor example, when your pet bird gets sick, you have to send for a vet（兽医）.You may think that you do not have free time to have a dog so youd better have a pet bird because it doesnt require a lot of attentionYou are wrong! Some people even do not have time for a short sleepThey will not have enough time for pets, eitherFor good bird health it is very important to handle them and play with them as much as you canAlso there are a lot of people who think that birds do not require a lot of space and they are wrong again. They also need to fly so if you do not have space for it, youd better reconsider the thingsBut do not forget the great advantage of having a pet birdIn the animal kingdom, birds rank near the top when it es to smarts. You can have a friend for life if you take good care of itIts a real character and can bring joy and colour in your home21What is the text mainly about?

If you are not able to municate, you drift apart. When you are mad at your parents, or anyone else, not talking to them doesnt solve anything.munication begins with the concerns of another. It means that you cant just e home from school, go up to your room and ignore everyone. Even if you just say “Hi”, and see how their day was for five minutes, it is better than nothing.If you looked up the word “munication” in a dictionary, it would say “the exchange of ideas, the conveyance of information; means of munication: a letter or a message”. To maintain a good relationship, you must keep munication strong. Let people know how you feel, even if its just by writing a note.When dealing with parents, you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as a parent. If you are trying to make them see something as you see it, tell them that youll listen to what they have to say, but ask them politely to listen to you. Yelling or walking away only makes the situation worse.This is an example: one night, Sophie went to a street party with her friends. She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks, but she didnt feel she could just ask to go home. That would be rude. After all, they had been nice enough to take her along with them. Needless to say, she was late getting home. Her parents were mad at first, not when Sophie explained why she was late, they werent as mad and let the incident go. munication is the key factor here. If Sophies parents had not been willing to listen, Sophie would have been in a lot of trouble.munication isnt a one-way deal: it goes both ways. Just remember: if you get into a situation like Sophies, telling the other person how you feel listening is the key factor to munication.28. In the writers view, dealing with parents is _ than with children. A. more difficult B. easierC. more uninterestingD. more interesting29. The underlined phrase “ drift apart” in Paragraph 2 means _. Akeep up with others Bmove along smoothly Cdistance yourself form others De closer to each other 30. The example in this passage proves that _. A. munication is the solution to misunderstanding B. Sophie is very polite to her parents C. Sophie did well in explaining her being late D. Sophies parents are willing to listen to her31. All the following statements are correct except _. A. If you dont agree with others, youd better let them know B. If you are not able to municate, walk away C. It is better to say “Hi” to others than say nothing D. munication is a two-way dealDI always figured that edians were the best kind of people to hang around with as a kid. They tell funny stories, make joke after joke, and happiness seems never to leave them. But time goes on, and we e to see these same people as clowns on the outside, but crying a river in the inside. edy from these people es from a deep pain and sadness in their lives, or out of a deep-seated anger they have at the world around them.Look at Richard Pryor, need I say more? Richard seemed to have everything. For Superman , he ended up getting more money than Christopher Reeve did. Yet he said while he was in his forties that the last truly happy moment he remembered in his life was when he was jumping around in the dirt while pretending to be a cowboy at the age of 10. This guy set himself on fire, and he played that for laugh while performing live at the Sunset Strip! edy was his constant weapon against pain, and he never held anything back.The movie Funny People understand very well this gloomy field many edians have to survive in. It stars Adam Sandler as George Simmons, a famous edian in the movie. Simmons has it all: a beautiful mansion overlooking the sea, a swimming pool, great cars, and so on. But in hiseyes, we see that he is a sad man who has e to truly look down upon himself for what he has bee. All the wealth he has collected only serves to separate him from the rest of the world and it makes himdefensive when around total strangers who cannot see him as a normal person. But now , he hears from his doctor that he has a terminal disease and has only months left to live. Simmons reacts to this news as if someone took away his blood in the heart, and it makes him clearly see just how much he hates his life. So now he has to make every minute count. Then e a series of funny stories.edy is just life as it is , isnt it?32.

Afterwards, the sales man did anything with a 51 mood and cherished every opportunity to improve himself. He worked hard and tried his best to make progress every day. Several years later, he 52 changed his life totally and became a millionaire If you 53 , you will find there are so many people who were born 54 in the society but they are confident in life and never plain about the 55 fate.
