High-quality relationships make people happy. Some people living in the poorest communities have almost nothing but turn out to be the happiest because they share a life, together. If effective relationships are working, happiness is always possible.
Here are some simple tips for building effective relationships.
Listen to and try to understand others' positions and feelings. Listening in itself can lead to understanding, and if you understand someone else fully, then you know how to work better with him or her. Openly express your needs and feeling. Sometimes we expect people particularly those close to us at home or work to understand what we want and to give us what we need intuitively (凭直觉地). However, people are so complicated and so different that even when they have lived together for 60 years, they can still surprise each other. So we need to say what we need and to express how we feel.
In order to make our relationships more effective, we should treat ourselves and other people with respect. Respect is one of the most important elements of any good relationship.
Finally, learn to face differences correctly. Learning this takes time and can be uncomfortable. However, if we can try to remove differences in an effective way, we are more likely to build exciting and satisfying relationships with others.
By doing these things you may discover that the happiness you long for is much closer than you thought.

A major source of teen stress is school exams, and test anxiety is not uncommon. When you recognize your teen is under stress, how can parents help your teen stay calm before an exam
Be involved. Parents need to be involved in their teen’s work. 71 _ What they look for is your presence — to talk, to cry, or simply to sit with them quietly. Communicate openly with your teen. Encourage your teen to express her worries and fears, but don’t let them focus on those fears.
Help them get organized. 72 Together , you and your teen can work out a time—table in which she can study for what she knows will be on the test. Provide a calm setting. Help your teen set up a quiet place to study and protect his privacy. Give them a nutritious diet. It is important for your teen to eat a healthy, balanced diet during exam times to focus and do her best. 73 If this happens, encourage your teen to eat light meals or sandwiches. A healthy diet, rather than junk food, is best for reducing stress.
74 Persuade your teenager to get some sleep and /or do something active when she needs a real break from studying. Making time for relaxation, fun, and exercise are all important in reducing stress. Help your teen balance her time so that she will feel comfortable taking time out from studying to spend time with friends or rest.
;
Show a positive attitude. 75 Your panic, anxiety and blame contribute to your teen’s pressure. Make your teen feel accepted and valued for her efforts. Most importantly, reassure your teen that things will be all right , no matter what the results are.

Making Peace with Your Parents
As a teen, you’re going through big changes physical ly and mentally. Your interests are expanding. 71
Here is the challenge：Kids need to explore the world in new ways, and parents need to protect them from the dangers that all out in that world. These conflicts can easily set off fireworks in otherwise calm houses. Sometimes conflicts can’t be avoided. But by paying attention to the building blocks of successful relationships, you can work towards making home a happy and healthy place for you and your parents.
For instance, try to find a time to talk when your parents are not angry, tired, distracted, or hungry. A good time to talk is when you’re all relaxed. Timing is everything. If the conversation begins to turn into an argument, you’d better calmly and coolly ask to stop the conversation--for now. 72 Listen to what your parents are saying, and repeat it back to them. This shows them that you’re listening. 73 Respect is the building block of good communication. People who respect each other and care about each others’ feelings call disagree without things getting ugly.
74 How do you build trust Trust comes by actually doing what you say you’re going to do. Some teens find that doing fun activities with their parents can improve their relationships. Sometimes we forget that parents are more than rule-makers--they’re interesting people who like to watch movies. And go shopping--just like their teenagers!
What do you do if you are trying your best, but your relationship with your parents continues to be rocky 75 You can find supportive adults, such as a teacher or a coach, who can lend an ear.
Remember you can only change your own behavior. Your parents are the only ones who can change theirs.
A．It also gives them a chance to clear things up if you’re not on the same page.
B．You can pick it up again when everyone’s more relaxed.
(
C．And then you’ll be able to accept what your parents say.
D．Faced with the challenge, children don’t know what to do.
E．You are more likely to get along with your parents and have more independence if your parents believe in you.
F．And your desire to take control of your own life is growing.
G．You may consider seeking outside help.

So when Mardy McGarry wanted to build a playground for kids with special needs, she knew it wouldn't take long to create interest in the project. But she never expected that a third of the town people would join in it. __1__. “A lot of learning comes through play，”says McGarry, a special education teacher for 28 years. She'd seen the wood chips and sand of traditional playgrounds stop wheelchairs dead in their tracks. When a piece of land became available, the city council agreed to choose a part for a playground. __2__ She asked many kids for their wish list. She also asked experts for help. And she brought on board her friend Sue Mayer, whose eight-year-old son, Sam, has a serious disease. Her Kiwanis Club chapter came through with $7,000, and that's when the grassroots movement really got started. One woman gave $25,000 and had her company donate the same amount. __3__ There were silent auctions (拍卖) and T-shirt sales. The local Pieper Family Foundation offered to donate half of the remaining $170,000 balance if McGarry could raise the rest. The $450,000 covered materials, but the actual construction would cost an additional $900,000. Not a choice. But the community could build it. On September 16, 2008, the first day of construction, they came. Two women heard about the project on the radio on the way to work and took the day off to help. __4__ Ten-year-olds sanded surfaces. Today, Possibility Playground is one of the most popular destinations in Ozaukee County, There's a giant pirate ship, a sandbox, monkey bars, swings and so on. __5__ It's exactly what McGarry wanted. People used to ask why she wanted to build a playground just for children with disabilities. “They didn't get it. It's only when you build a playground for children with disabilities that you build one for all children.” she said. A．Soon smaller businesses were helping.

Bud went to an all-white high school in a beautiful, all-white neighborhood. There were very few big buildings in his community.

In his bedroom, he had a nice desk, complete with reference books and his own little TV on which he could play his video games. 3 My family lived in a nice apartment in an all-black housing project. Our project housed many families, so we were used to living in small crowded houses. 4 There were all kinds of stores nearby. For beauty, we had basketball courts and the rose garden in front of the project building. We were never jealous or looked down on one another, either. We both felt we had lost something because we lived in worlds set apart from others. Bud's only contact (接触) with blacks of his age was in the All-City Chorus. 5 And it was not as interesting as it would have been if he had grown up with people of different groups and races living together. I felt the same way. Both races could learn a great deal from one another, and I knew this because Bud and I surely did learn from each other. A. Bud's house was another point of interest. B. Because of this, he felt his life was sheltered. C. We never had to walk far to the nearest store. D. My home and neighborhood were totally different. E.

The weather’s nice, and the youngsters are out of time. Here are a few tips to help you along the way: Nature is all around us. 37 For small kids, there’s likely plenty in the backyard, courtyard, or schoolyard. National parks are great, but kids foster a deep connection with nature close to home! 38 Don’t worry too much about what to do once you arrive at your nature-rich destination. What kids really need is free time to engage all their senses and use their imaginations. You can learn too. What counts is simply to get out there, show that you value the outdoors, and be ready to have fun. 39 In fact, it is not necessary for you to know anything at all about science or nature. And remember, questions are more powerful than answers anyway! Sit back and watch your kids learn. Don’t be too much of a helicopter parent, always saying “no”. Instead, try to spare more time to stay with your kids when necessary.
2017年高考英语阅读专练（七选五） 1. Brain Transplants Research on the human brain has been attracting more and more scientists in recent years. 1 If we compare a human brain to a hard disc, what the scientists are doing is to make better use of the hard disc. The idea that a human brain could be transplanted may come from Frankenstein. In 1999, an experiment turned a bear into a dolphin. 2 They were made of the memory area in the dolphin’s brain containing information about swimming. They had a series of useful information, which was saved into a button-sized chip (芯片). Later the information was transplanted into the action memory area in the bear’s brain. 3 It proved to be a highly successful experiment and a bear was turned into a dolphin. Recently, another memory transplant was performed at the Motor Nerve Research Institute of the University of California. The experiment had an entire transplant of the memory area. 4 The transplant was performed from a dog named Genius to a dog named Idiot. Genius could follow up to 100 gestures and orders made by its master. It was a real genius in memorizing. However, Idiot had no contact with people since its birth. It became an animal with nothing in its brain, without any memory. 5 When the two dogs woke up, Idiot had grasped all the abilities Genius possessed; it was good at memorizing and sensible. It could follow every gesture and any command given by its master. But Genius gave no response to its master, and did not recognize him at all. A. The experiment was a complete success. B. It included actions, moods, logic, words, images, etc. C. Then it was released by means of electric power. D. Different images have different meanings in the memory area. E. Using the most advanced technology, detailed images were produced. F. Discoveries show that messages are carried by the central nervous system in the brain. G. One of the latest topics is how to change the human brain or combine it with the computer. 2. W. Lloyd Jerome’s Dental Surgery If you walk into W.Lloyd Jerome’s dental surgery in Glasgow,

Everything about the school seemed so difficult. When I got home, my parents said, “You’re nervous and that’s okay. Everyone is afraid of high school.”36 I wanted to be strong, so I refused to let anyone know about my fear, even my closest friends. On the first day I was late for every class and was constantly lost. 37 Was thi s how the whole year was going to be? I didn’t think I could rise to this challenge, especially carrying a huge backpack that I could hardly lift. It was so big that I could knock someone out with it! The schoolmates seemed to regard me as a fool, and they were probably right. 38 With the exception of falling up and down the stairs a couple of times and getting laughed at, high school was turning out to be not so bad. It was actually much better than middle school and much more challenging. Since then, I’ve been elected vice president of my class, which wasn’t much of a victory since only three people ran for the four positions. It is normal to be scared about a new school. Take a deep breath and relax. 39 Make sure you participate in some out-of-class activities because you’ll find it easier to make friends. Try to do your best, even if it isn’t straight A’s.
