One of his earliest inventions was paddles(短桨）for swimming. Ben had wondered for some time to swim faster, maybe with something on his hands or feet. Slowly a picture of swimming shoes, or paddles, came into his mind. Ben thought for a long time. The paddles must be neither too big nor too small. The right kind of wood was important, too. It must be neither too heavy nor too light. He started to work on the paddles and soon finished them. And then Ben was ready to try them out. He decided to try them the following Sunday afternoon in a lake.Boys gathered around the lake as Ben got ready. Ben got into the water and began to paddle. He swam slowly at first, then faster and faster until he was travelling through the water like a fish. The boys around the lake jumped up and down, crying with joy. They had never seen such fast swimming.36.According to the passage, Ben liked singing very much when he was a boy.37.Paddles can help children play faster games.38.It took Ben a long time to think about how to make the paddles.39.The boys around the lake were very joyful after Bens fast swimming.40.We know that the paddles were on Bens back when he swam in the lake.BDear Dr. Jackson,My parents are never happy with me. They are always criticizing(批评）my clothes, my hair and the music I listen to. They hate my friends looks and they keep complaining(抱怨）when I go with them. Im not allowed to stay out as late as my friends do, so I cant have any fun. My parents only seem to care about my school marks. Though I love them, sometimes I feel we live in different worlds. If they love me, cant they understand me? How can I make them understand me?AngelDear Angel,Your problem is common to both teenagers and parents. Dont worry, because all this is natural.You see, your parents have grown up at a different time and they have different experiences. So, they think some things are strange, but you find the same things common. For example, music you like may sound like noise to them. Your parents love you, so they feel they must protect you from whatever they find strange. On the other hand, you dont want to be different from other teenagers, so you feel that your parents restrict you.I think you should talk about this problem with your parents. Try to explain to them what you want and make them know they can believe you. Sooner or later, they will find you are a responsible(有责任心的）person and they will give you more freedom(自由）.Jackson41.Why does Angel write to Dr. Jackson?A. Because her parents make her happy.B.
