facing. she was about 20, and in a town known as ayrlie beach in northern queensland. i asked her what it was that she needed most at that moment, and she replied that she needed support, and my arms around her would be the best thing that she could hope for! i wanted to give her a hug immediately, but i couldnt. however, i always know that there is a solution to every problem. i believed there was a solution to this problem, too. i asked her to describe her surroundings to me. then i added her to stay exactly where she was. after hanging up the phone, i just sat for a few seconds. after only a very short time a phone number “jumped into my head”. i recollected a woman who had bought a house from me about 18 months before, when i was working in real estate. i remembered she once told me her daughter was in ayrlie beach, i dialed the phone number and got through. my exact words to her were these, “hi liz. my daughter is in ayrlie beach. shes very sad now and needs a hug. could you tell your daughter to give her a hug for me?” she was very happy to help me out. she gave me her daughters phone number. i called her daughter. i gave her the description of my daughter, where she was standing, and that she needed emotional support. it happened my daughter was right across the street from where she was standing . the girl walked across the street and told my daughter that her dad had sent her! you can imagine the look on my daughters face when she heard that. my daughter got a hug from her sent by me. see, there is a solution to every problem.25. how did the author react after

“when are you planning your next?” try debating and they will be quick to add, “do you want your kid to be lonely? he needs company.” why is a single child not enough? parents of a single child are often told heir kid will grow up to be a loner, too dependent and may lack social skills, its normal for parents to feel anxious if they are making the right decisions for their kids. dr shilpa aggarwal, child and adolescent psychiatrist, says, “having a single child comes with its set of advantages and disadvantages. there is no conclusive answer to whether it is easier or more difficult to raise a single child as it depends on a range of factors (parental preference, economic condition of the family, extended family support, other parental commitments and so on).” having only one child is easier for parents. manisha singh, mother of misha, 6, has made up her mind to have an only child. “parenting requires much and i have already invested four years in raising my first child by compromising(妥协) on my career, and i cant give up four more years. this is a win-win situation for me. i can enjoy being a mother and find the right balance between work and parenting.” financial burden is a big factor in deciding on a single child. pratibha sinhs, mother of myrah, 2, says, “however much id love to have two kids, it is just not an option for us. with so many debts to settle, it will put extra pressure on our pockets.” however we still cannot take away the advantages of having a sibling(兄弟姐妹). a study published in the columbus dispatch suggests that those with siblings understand people better and are better skilled to handle social situations. kids with sibling can be taught a sense of sharing, not t mention the crucial social network sibling form when they grow up into adulthood.29. what can couples learn from dr shilpa aggarwals words?a. make decisions in the best interests of their own.b. weigh the advantages of having a single child.c. give up more for their only child.d. get to know themselves better.30. what brings manisha singh “a win-win situation”?a. her 4-year parenting. b. her work-life balance.c. her one-child decision. d. her career compromise.31. whats the authors attitude towards having siblings?a. supportive. b. disapproving. c. uncertain. c. indifferent.d im an orchestra student of lake high school and i think there is a problem that should be solved. every day , the orchestra students of my school run like mad like track stars to get back and forth from the middle school to the high school. this, of course, causes huge time conflicts for both the orchestra students and staff. because of the long hallway between the two schools, it becomes impossible to tell when the bell will ring once down the hallway. some students are slower than others; some have more complex instruments to pack. the time the students are let out of class affects all. sometimes the students are extremely late; sometimes they are early. being late causes problems for the teachers of the students next class. the excuse” i was late from orchestra” soon becomes over-used, though it is the truth. on the other hand, students dismissed early also cause an issue. students let out too early cause problems for the classes still being taught. many students find it hard to keep quiet; therefore, causing a distraction（分心） or other students. being late or early to the next class is not the only problem. because of the time it takes to get to the middle school and back, lessons are shortened to a little over half an hour. this shortens the students learning time. it harms the growth and experience of the students as musical learners. because the orchestra must go down to the middle school, many students do not feel like a member of the high school. imagine how you feel if you have to go back there every day, just because the high school has no room for the orchestra. i do hope the problem will be solved.32. which of the following statements is a problem of orchestra students?a. they have to travel back and forth from the middle school.b. they have no strength to carry these complex instruments.c. they dont know the time when the bell rings.d. they cannot run fast enough.33. why being dismissed early can be a problem?a. the students cannot practice long enough. b. the students have too much time to kill.c. the students have no other place to go.d. the students become a source of noise.34. what is the consequence of the problem according to paragraph 5?a. students emotions are negatively affected.b. students dont feel theyre attending school.c. students arent called high school students.d. students have to travel back every day.35. what does the author mainly want to show in the text?a. his school faces too many problems.b. the high school should have an orchestra room.c. orchestra students should have more time to practice.d. the distance between two schools should be
