We are always doing things that someone else makes us do and arent allowed to do all the things we like. Sometimes we feel sad; sometimes we are fearful; sometimes we just dont understand why we cant stay young forever. But through it all, all the suffering, all the worrying, we find a reason. We should take a look back on all the hardships in life with positive attitudes and learn from them. We should realize that all of our growing pains actually turn into growing gainsSome of us are going to take the university entrance exams soon, the first obstacle in our lives. Throughout our lives we are going to have many challenges. But we cant let these obstacles keep us from following our dreams. We must overcome these obstacles one small step at a time.We are all going to experience growing pains, but they are just small pains in the scheme of life. They might seem so huge at the time but we must be strong.As a young girl my parents pressured me to do so many things that I never liked. They made me learn to play the violin and then the piano. At that time I hated music. But looking back now, I am so glad that my parents encouraged me to take music lessons. Music has enriched my life in countless ways.In fact, a little hard work and sweat never hurt anyone! If we realize that these pains are just small bumps on our road to success we will realize that our growing pains are actually growing gains!64.

Parents disagree with children in many ways.D It was my first day at school in London and I was half-excited and half-frightened. On my way to school I wondered what sort of questions the other boys would ask me and rehearsed (practiced) all the answers: “I am nine years old. I was born here but I havent lived here since I was two. I was living in Farley. Its about thirty miles away. I came back to London two months ago. ” I also wondered if it was the custom for boys to fight strangers like me, but I was tall for my age. I hoped they would decide not to risk it.No one took any notice of me before school. I stood in the center of the playground, expecting someone to say “hello”, but no one spoke to me. when a teacher called my name and told me where my classroom was, one or two boys looked at me but that was all the curiosity my arrival aroused.My teacher was called Mr. Jones. There were 42 boys in the class, so I didnt stand out there, either, until the first lesson of the afternoon. Mr. Jones was very fond of Charles Dickens and he had decided to read aloud to us from David Copperfield, but first he asked several boys if they knew Dickens birthplace, but no one guessed right. A boy called Brian, the biggest in the class, said: “Timbuktu”, and Mr. Jones went red in the face. Then he asked me. I said: “Ports-mouth”, and everyone stared at me because Mr. Jones said I was right. This didnt make me very popular, of course.“He thinks hes clever,” I heard Brian say.After that, we went out to the playground to play football. I was in Brians team, and he obviously had Dickens in mind because he told me to go in goal. No one ever wanted to be the goal-keeper.“Hes big enough and useless enough.” Brian said when someone asked him why he had chosen me.I suppose Mr. Jones remembered Dickens, too, because when the game was nearly over. Brian pushed one of the players on the other team, and he gave them a penalty. As the boy kicked the ball hand along the ground to my right, I threw myself down instinctively and saved it. All my team crowed round me. “Do you want to join my gang (team)?” he said.At the end of the day, I was no longer a stranger.68. The writer prepared to answer all of the following questions EXCEPT “_”.A. How old are you? B. Where are you from?C. Do you want to join my gang? D. When did you come back to London?69. We can learn from the passage that _.A. boys were usually unfriendly to new students B. the writer was not greeted as he expectedC. Brian praised the writer for his cleverness D. the writer was glad to be a goalkeeper70. The underlined part “I didnt stand out” in paragraph 3 means that the writer was not_.A. noticeable B. welcome C. important D. outstanding71. The writer was offered a handkerchief because _. A. he threw himself down and saved the goal B. he pushed a player on the other teamC. he was beginning to be accepted D. he was no longer a new comerENearly everyone is shy in some ways. If shyness is making you uncomfortable, it may be time for a few lessons in self-confidence. You can build your confidence by following some suggestions from doctors and psychologists.Make a decision not to hold back in conversations. What you have to say is just as important as what other people say. And dont turn down party invitations just because of your shyness.Prepare yourself for being with others in groups.
