They always tell me I should do this, and should not do that. It sometimes makes me angry,” said Li Ping, a middle school student in Hunan. Do you have the same problem? Perhaps your parents had the same problem when they were your age long ago. Why does it seem that some parents are not so friendly in their childrens eyes?One of the biggest things is when someone becomes a parent, he / she likes worrying about things. They worry about everything about you, from the time you were born. They do a lot for you, though something would make you angry, because they care about you and worry about you. They worry about your choice of friends, the food you eat, your work at school, how much sleep you get, etc. All these things are part of your life. They want you to grow up healthily and happily.So how can you make things easier on yourself? Its easier than you think. Just make sure your parents know what youre doing. Get them to know your friends. Phone if you stay somewhere else so that your parents dont call every hospital in the phone book looking for your body. Say sorry to them when you make mistakes. Take responsibility (责任) for what you have done. Talk about your ideas with them. They may talk about theirs with you.Most of all, try to think about why your parents do this or do that. They are still practicing being parents and need help you can give them. Someday, when you become a parent, they may be able to help you know how to get on with your children.51.

Which do you think is the best title for the passage?A. Parents Responsibility B. How to Get on with ParentsC. Zhang Huas Problem D. What Are Parents Worrying about BShakespeares Birthplace and Exhibition of Shakespeares World Welcome to the world-famous house where William Shakespeare was born in l564 and where he grew up. The property(房产)remained in the ownership of Shakespeares family until 1806.The House has welcomed visitors traveling from all over the world for over 250 years. Enter through the Visitors Centre and see the highly-praised exhibition Shakespeares World，a lively and full introduction to the life and work of Shakespeare. Stand in the rooms where Shakespeare grew up. Discover examples of furniture and needlework from Shakespeares period. Enjoy the traditional(传统的)English garden, planted with trees and flower mentioned in the poets works.The Birthplace is within easy walking distance of all the car parks shown on the map；nearest is Windsor Street(3 minutes Walk)The House may present difficulties but the Visitors Centre，its exhibition Hall and the garden are accessible (可进入的)to wheelchair users.The Shakespeare Coffee House(opposite the Birthplace)54.

Its convenient: three or four words per exchange. It takes cleverness, concentration and quick fingers.And it requires very simple language. Theres neither time nor space for explanations. Why waste valuable time telling six friends you have to leave for a moment to take care of your little brother when BRB (=be right back) will do?Want to enter a conversation? Just type PMFJI (=pardon me for jumping in).Interested in whom youre talking to? Type A/S/L, the common request to know your pals age, sex and location. You may get 15/M/NY as a reply from your pal. If something makes you laugh, say youre OTF (=on the floor), or LOL (=laughing out loud), or join the two into ROTFL (=rolling on the floor laughing). And when its time to get back to work or go to bed, you type GTG (=got to go) or TTYL (=talk to you later).People want to write as fast as possible, and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can. Capital letters are left in the dust, except when expressing feeling, as it takes more time to hold down the “shift” key and use capitals. Punctuation (标点) is going too.57. When people are online, they talk by _.A. using body language B. drawing some strange pictures C. making phone calls D. making use of an especially short form of English58.

If you get 17/F/NY as an answer to your A/S/L, it means _.A. the people on the other end is 17 from New York and he is fineB. you are talking to a girl who is 17 and lives in New YorkC. you are talking to 17 girls who are from New YorkD. the people you are talking to is a 17-foot tall New York girl60. Which of the following is a way to save online time?A. People seldom use capital letters or punctuation marks. B. Many people draw pictures. C. People only use the mouse instead of the keyboard. D. People never use the “shift” key. DThe whole morning we just checked our own things. We were looking for items to give away. We thought of blankets, food and clothing. Our aim was not to find things we no longer wanted, but things we use every day and would be useful to others.We made up boxes with the things and added some small toys. Inside the boxes a simple letter was placed, reading:“Please take these items and know that your life is important. Times are difficult but they will pass. We share what we have, believing it will matter. Use the blanket to stay warm. Be safe and know that the human spirit can overcome（战胜） anything. Dont hold your head down. Someday please do the same when you can. How you do it and when, your heart will tell you.This kind act was not because the phone rang or for any reason. It was simply because it was the right time to do. We have often seen homeless people at the park where we left the belongings. The city would say that it isnt a problem but I see the lives walking to and from it. I noticed that my wife had put her favorite green coat into one of the boxes. I asked if she was sure about it and she simply replied that it had a hood (风帽). She liked the coat but knew the hood could shelter (遮挡)someone from the rain.We dont know where these gifts of compassion（同情）will go. We never go back and see what happens. Its unimportant. The right things will find the right people and that is all that counts. On the way my wife started to cry. When I asked why, she said because some things felt so right.61.

Why did the author ask his wife if she was sure about giving away her green coat? _.A. Because he thought the coat was very valuableB. Because he thought the coat was of a very high priceC. Because he thought he liked the coat very much himselfD. Because he thought she liked the coat very much herself64. The couple liked this kind act because _.A. they thought it was the right thing to doB. they had a good habit of saving thingsC. they often received telephone calls for helpD. they hated being troubled by homeless people65.
