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 when I go with them. I"m not
allowed to stay out as late as my friends do, so I can"t have any fun, My parents only seem to care about
my school marks. Although I love them, sonetimes I feel we live in different worlds. If they love me, can"t
they understand me? How can I make them understand me?

Dear Angel,
Your problem is common (共同的) to both teenagers and parents. Don"t worry, bacause 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 ordinary. For example, the 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 don"t 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"ll find you are a responsible (有责任心的) person
and they will give you more freedom (自由).
B. Because her parents can"t understand her.
C. Because her friends don"t like her parents.
D. Because her parents don"t think she is good at school.
B. less freedom
C. more freedom
D. less clothes
B. Don"t tell her parents what she wants to do.
C. Take no notice of her parents and do whatever she likes.
D. Discuss her problem with her parents.
B. 保护
C. 放纵
D. 抛弃
B. Angel"s father likes the music that Angel likes.
C. Angel should show her parents that she is a responsible person.
D. Angel doesn"t love her parents at all.
答案
举一反三
people eat almost nothing but rice. Rice is a kind of grass. There are more than 7,000 kinds of rice. Most kinds
are water plants. Farmers grow rice in many countries, even in the south of the United States and in eastern
Australia.
China is the world"s largest rice-growing country. In 2003, China grew 166 million tons of rice. But it is not
easy to feed the world"s largest population. In the 1960s, thousands of Chinese died because they didn"t have
enough food to eat. In the 1970s, Yuan Longping, a Chinese scientist, grew a new kind of rice called hybrid
rice. It makes 20% more rice than any other kind. Hybrid rice is a stronger plant, unlike ordinary (普通的) rice.
It can grow in lots of water or in not much water. It doesn"t easily get diseases or worms.
Today, half of China"s rice plants are Yuan"s special hybrid rice. China uses Yuan"s hybrid rice to grow
much more rice than before. Yuan is known as the Father of Hybrid Rice. He won the World Food Prize for
his work to help feed so many people.

school is going to use a new way to decide who the top students are. The best students won"t only have high
marks. They will also be kids who don"t dye (染) their hair, smoke or drink. The followings are some of the
new rules.
Tell the truth. Have you ever copied someone else"s work in an exam? Don"t do it again! That"s not
something an honest (诚实的) student should do. If you have played computer games for two hours in your
room, don"t tell your parents you have done homework.
Do more at school. Good students love animals and care for other people. April is Bird Loving Month in
China. Is your school doing anything to celebrate? You should join! In that way, you can learn more about
animals and how to protect them. When more people work together, it makes it more fun for everyone.
Have you ever quarreled (吵架) with your teammates when your basketball team lost? Only working together
can make your team stronger. Be friendly to the people you are with. Try to think of others, not only yourself.
Be open to new ideas. Have you ever thought that people could live on the moon? Maybe you"ll discover
EarthⅡsomeday. Don"t look down on new ideas. Everyone"s ideas are important. You should welcome them,
because new ideas make life better for everyone.
Protect yourself. Has someone ever taken money from one of your classmates? Don"t let it happen to you.
If you have to go home late, you should let your parents know.
Use the Internet carefully. The Internet can be very useful for your studies. But some things on the Internet
aren"t good for kids, so try to look at web pages that are good for you. You can use the web for fun or
homework. If you can"t find any good web sites for children, here are two: http: //kids.eastday.com;
http: //www.chinakids.net.com.
( ) 1. The school new rules will help kids by telling them what is right and what is wrong.
( ) 2. According to the passage, we know we should love animals and protect them.
( ) 3. Good web sites for children can be a waste of time.
( ) 4. As a student, we should tell the truth, even when we are wrong.
( ) 5. The passage tells us the new rules and standards about how to be a top student.
