I was 19 and I didnt know what to do!” he said.His mother heard the 20 and got into the kitchen. “I am considering how to explain all this to you, mom.” He said.

Well, since the milk has already been spilled, would you like to play in the milk for a while? We will clean it up after that.” 22 , he did so. After a few minutes, his mother said, “You know, Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, finally you 23 clean it up.” He used a sponge (海绵) and together they cleaned up the spilled milk.His mother then said, “You know, we failed in 24 to successfully carry a big milk bottle with two small hands just now. Lets go out in the yard and fill the bottle with water to see if you can discover a way to carry it.” Then the little boy learned that if he grasped (抓紧) the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without 25 it.What a wonderful lesson!16.

No matter what your age is, you can feel stressed out by things that are happening in your life. Teenagers, however, have many more opportunities to get stressed than people in any other age group. Being a teenager is hard. You are not a child any more, but you are not an adult, even though you have to deal with some very grown-up problems and decisions. Families can be one of the biggest causes of stress, such as problems with parents arguing at home, or problems with brothers and sisters. Teenagers also have a lot of stress from school, either from their teachers or from their friends. Some teenagers also feel stressed about choosing their education after high school. Getting a place at university can be very difficult and some cannot afford to go to university. The stress about getting a job when finishing school is hard for some teenagers. There are so many young people finishing school and not enough jobs for them. Sadly, there is nothing we can do to remove these causes of stress from the 1ives of teenagers, but you can learn the best way to deal with it. Talking to people is one of the best ways to deal with stress. It may sound simple, but it is true. A problem shared is a problem halved. 36. Why is being a teenager often difficult?A. Because even though you are not an adult, you must deal with adult problems. B. Because even though you are an adult, you must deal with childrens problems. C. Because even though you are a teenager, you must do a lot of homework. D. Because adults often make them feel stressed. 37. Families can add to the stress a teenager might experience _.A. by asking them to go to universityB. by helping them with their homeworkC. as teenagers quarrel with their parents, and their brothers or sistersD. as families never support their children enough38. Why can leaving high school be a stressful time for teenagers?A. Because they will be leaving their favourite teachers. B. Because many peoples favourite memories are at school. C. Because they may worry about getting a place at university. D. Because they may worry about becoming an adult. 39. Why can finding a job after finishing school be difficult?A. Because there is a lot of competition for jobs. B. Because there are no jobs. C. Because a job is more difficult than school work. D. Because there is a lot of competition for places at university. 40. We can deal with the stress in our life _.A. by not trying to find a job B. by forgetting about our problemsC. by getting a place at universityD. by sharing our problems with our friendsDIs there someone you hate? Well, maybe you dont really hate them. But you get really angry every time you think of them. If you dont let this anger go, it can turn into bitterness (痛苦).Bitterness appears when we cant forgive someone who has hurt us or made us angry. Someone might say or do something that hurts us. But instead of controlling the anger, we keep it deep inside. Before long, a bitter feeling begins to grow. We may think were hurting that person by criticizing (指责) him or her often, but were really only hurting ourselves.Bitterness can not only lead to serious health problems such as heart disease, but also hurt our relationships with friends and family members. No one enjoys being around an angry person for very long.If you see bitterness in your life, here are some ways to deal with it.Accept it Instead of trying to deny your anger, make it clear to yourself and accept it. See your anger for what it is and quickly deal with it.Stop making excuses for it You may feel you have a right to be angry. You may think youre right and the other person is wrong. You may even secretly enjoy making the other person look bad. But in the end, bitterness hurts you much more than the other person. The bitterness will hold you back, and the other person will go on with his or her life.Forgive and forget it You probably cant completely put the anger out of your mind. But you can decide to forgive the other person. Forget it and move on. Youll enjoy better health and peace of mind.41. According to the passage, we might get angry when someone _. A. holds us back B. forgets us C. doesnt like us D. does hurt us42. Bitterness comes from _.

A. make the person who hurts us look bad B. hate the person who hurts us very often C. accept that you are hurting the other person D. forgive the person who hurts us and forget it45. What can we learn from the passage? A. We should enjoy someone who hurts us. B. We should pay more attention to our friends. C. The peace of mind is more important than the hurt itself. D. Its better to let bitterness go along with the other person. 第二卷（51分）四、语言基础知识(共16小题；每小题1分，满分16分)A) 根据括号中所给的汉语写出单词，使句子意思完整正确，并将答案填写在标号为4650 的相应位置上。46.You cant _(想象) how sad he was when he heard the news.47.Please _ (记得) to turn off the lights before leaving the classroom. 48.Some acting films have bad _(影响) on teenagers.49.Walk _(笔直地) on and youll find the post office at the end of the road.50.We mustnt do anything _ (违反) the law.B) 根据句子意思，用括号中所给单词的适当形式填空，并将答案填写在标号为 5156的相应位置上。51.

Newspapers, magazines, the Internet, radios and televisions are the most places to find advertisements. There are two main types of advertisementscommercial advertisements and public service advertisements (PSAs). A commercial advertisement is one which someone has paid for to promote(提升) a product or service. PSAs are often placed for free, and are to used to educate people about health, safety, or anything that affects public welfare(公共福利).Does an advertisement tell people the complete truth?China has strong laws to protect people from advertisements that lie or try to make people believe untrue promise about products or services. However, we still must be careful with the methods used in advertisements to try and sell us things. Even if an ad does not lie, it does not mean it tells the complete truth. One toothpaste(牙膏) ad says “Bright-teeth fights bad breath!” the advertisers want you to read the word “fights” and think that the toothpaste cures bad breath, but it does not say that! We must not fall for this kind of trick!Public service advertisements.Not all ads play tricks on us though. PSAs use some of the same methods, but they are made to serve the public. PSAs are meant to teach us and help us lead better lives. You have probably seen or heard some of them yourself, like “Yes to life, no to drugs” and “Knowledge changes life”. These ads deal with large social issues(问题). There are also
