Now nobody can find me. I’ve left my chair, my house, my road, My town and my world behind me. I’m wearing the cloak, I’ve slipped on the ring, I’ve swallowed the magic potion. I’ve fought with a dragon, dined with a king And dived in a bottomless ocean. I opened a book and made some friends. I shared their tears and laughter And followed their road with its bumps and bends To the happily ever after. I finished my book and out I came. The cloak can no longer hide me. My chair and my house are just the same, But I have a book inside me.

The advice lady answered the letter and she was very helpful. She told the girl not to worry too much and to try to cheer her mother up. She also suggested that the girl's mother should talk with another woman who understands, eat healthy food and try to get some exercise. (104 words) 3 Part 1 INTENSIVE READING Problems with my Mother A. Last week I was reading the newspaper to keep up with the news, and that's where I saw the advertisement for a question and answer column. I wasn't really sure if the person would answer questions from teenagers like me, but I have a big problem so I thought I would see if she could help me with it. B. My problem is that I think my mother is sick but she won't go to the doctor. Whenever I talk to her about it, she says she's fine and not to worry. But the other day I went into the kitchen and she was crying and her shoulders were shaking. I'm sure that's not normal. I haven't seen her sneezing and she doesn't seem to have a rash, but there's definitely something very wrong. I'm not sure if Dad knows about it. He's away from home a lot because of his job. We have a new baby, too. I thought that would make her happy, but I think things are worse since the baby was born. I guess it's because she's so tired all the time. She spends a long time in bed. Today I helped with the baby before I went to school because Mum didn't want to get up. I wrote to the lady in the column to ask how I could find out what was wrong with Mum. I was worried that things might get worse. C. I am so glad I wrote! She did answer my letter, and she was very helpful. She said my Mum doesn't sound very well at all. She told me that sometimes it's hard for mothers to take care of their own needs. They get used to looking after everyone else in the family and they don't have much energy left. She said it must be hard for my mum with a new baby and my dad being away at work so often. She advised me to try not to worry about it. She thought my mum might be feeling a bit low and might need someone to talk to. She said it would be best if she talked to another woman who understands. D. However, she said I could still help her to get better by continuing what I have already been doing lately, playing with the baby and helping with the housework. She also advised that mum needs healthy food and exercise, and suggested we could go out for a walk together each day. She thought I could cheer my mother up by chatting to her, laughing and smiling and making jokes. E. I will try all the helpful advice I was given. I do hope my mum gets well soon.

Reading Passage A I don't like my parents. They always tell me I should do this, and should not do that. It sometimes makes me angry,” said Liu Dan, a middle school student in Beijing. 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 children's eyes? One of the biggest things is when someone becomes a parent, he or she likes worrying 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? It's easier than you think. Just make sure your parents know what you're doing. Get them to know your friends. Call them if you stay somewhere else later than usual. Say sorry to them when you make mistakes. Take responsibility 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 how to get on with your children. ) 16. The writer of the passage doesn't agree that ______. ( A. parents want you to grow up healthily B. parents don't want you to make some bad friends C. parents worry about everything about you D. parents want to control you ) 17. Some of the children are angry with their parents in the passage because ______. ( A. the parents think they eat too much B. the parents don't like the friends that their children have made C. the children don't live with their parents D. the children are limited by their parents ) 18. “They are still practicing being parents.” means ______. ( A. parents are not always right B. parents should practice more C. parents have many mistakes D. parents are always right ) 19. The main idea in this passage is that ______. ( A. some of the parents in China don't love their children B. children and parents should understand more about each other C. parents should worry too much about their children D. children should bear everything their parents arranged 12 Unit 24 Interpersonal Relationship Passage B James is a good student and he has lots of friends, but he also has a problem.

Dear Tina, My parents are always arguing, and it's making me feel worried most of the time. I keep getting bad headaches and I don't feel like eating very much. My little brother is also unhappy. He cries when they argue. I don't know what to do. I just want them to stop. Hong Dear Hong, I feel for you. It must be difficult to hear your parents argue a lot. I have some suggestions that I think will help. Firstly, be sure to drink plenty of water and eat a good breakfast. You might like to go for a walk in the countryside with a friend you can talk to, as this will help you to relax. I think you must talk to your parents about how you are feeling, so they can perhaps try to work out their problems more quickly. Perhaps you could offer to look after your little brother one evening so they can go out on a date night. I hope that some of these ideas and suggestions will stop you from feeling so helpless. Remember that your parents love you and they have your best interests at heart, even if they make you feel bad sometimes.

What skills will you need? That's not an easy question, because 65 percent of jobs in the future will be new. But experts agree that some skills will be necessary. Here are five questions. Can you answer "yes" to all of them? Question 1: Can you ask questions? 2 In the future, you will need to ask questions, not just answer them. Why? Because asking good questions shows that you think differently about a topic. Answering a question often means that you can remember information—and your phone can do that. Question 2: Can you work on a team? 3 Many people already work from home, but they still need to work well with others. In the future, 40 percent of people will work from home, and teams may be in different parts of the country or anywhere in the world. This means you need to be able to work by yourself and as part of a team. Question 3: Can you change? 4 You learn to do a job. You learn to do it well. But then the plan changes, or there is a new program for your computer. It makes your life difficult. Can you stay calm and learn to do your job the new way? In the future, you will need to learn things again and again. Question 4: Can you lead? 5 In the past , many jobs were about saying "yes" to the manager . In the future, they will need leaders—people who can lead others. Leaders plan their work and help others plan theirs. They help a team reach its goals. Question 5: Can you write and speak well? 6 Writing and speaking will always be important. Good communication skills are already necessary, but in the future, they will be even more important. 7 In 2030, you will need to be able to answer "yes" to all of these questions. 28 Unit 24 Interpersonal Relationship ▋ Exercise I.

However, they will be much shorter: about six seconds will be the new normal. 3 Virtual reality (VR) is a way of making people feel that they are in a movie, in an unusual place, or at a music concert. VR headsets will sell in the millions in the future. Augmented reality (AR) will also become very popular. AR works with special glasses and apps. It adds different types of digital information to the real world. These changes may make activities like shopping more enjoyable and interesting. 4 Music streaming is already a trend, but it will get much faster with new technology. You won't have to wait to get your song, and the library of available songs will be very large. To help you choose, your phone will know where you are, and it will give you the best music for the moment. Live music will also grow. Music groups, or bands, will make most of their money this way because streaming won't pay them a lot. 5 Will the changes be good or bad? Nobody knows. However, we do know that there will be a different world of entertainment for our children and our children's children. 30 Unit 24 Interpersonal Relationship Part 3 GRAMMAR 强调句 I. 定义 : __________________________________________________________________________________________ 例句 : Meggie does like reading.
