With any relationship, you need to let other person know how you are feeling. If you are not able to communicate, you drift apart（疏远）. When you are mad at your parents, or anyone else, not talking to them doesn't solve anything.Communication begins with the concerns of another. It means that you can't just come home from school, go up to your room and ignore everyone. Even if you just say"Hi", and see how their day was for five minutes, it is better than nothing.If you looked up the word "communication" in a dictionary, it would say"the exchange of ideas, the conveyance (表达) of information, correspondence (一致), means of communication: a letter or a message". To maintain a good relationship, you must keep communication strong. Let people know how you feel, even if it's just by writing a note.When dealing with parents, you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as a parent. If you are trying to make them see something as you see it, tell them that you'll listen to what they have to say, but ask them politely to listen to you. Yelling or walking away only makes the situation worse.This is an example: one night, Sophie went to a street party with her friends. She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks, but she didn't feel she could just ask to go home. That would be rude. After all, they had been nice enough to take her along with them. Needless to say,she was late getting home.Her parents were mad at first, not when Sophie explained why she was late, they weren't as mad and let the incident go. Communication is the key factor here. If Sophie's parents had not been willing to listen, Sophie would have been in a lot of trouble.Communication isn't a one-way deal: it goes both ways. Just remember: if you get into a situation like Sophie's, telling the other person how you feel-listening is the key factor to communication.19.The main idea of the second paragraph is .A.the importance of friendshipB.To make your feeling known to othersC.the importance of communicationD.the dis agreement between generations20.The example in this passage proves that .A.Sophie’s parents are willing to listen to herB.Sophie is very polite to her parentsC.Sophie did well in explaining her being latemunication is the solution（解决办法）to misunderstanding21.All the following statements are correct EXCEPT ““.A.If you don’t agree with others, you’d better let them knowB.It is better to say “Hi”to others than say nothingC.If you are not able to communicate, walk awaymunication is a two—way deal答案：19.C 20. D 21.CCNot long ago, a rock band called the Backstreet Boys made a big splash on the music scene. Young people everywhere loved their songs. One of the band’s biggest fans was a young boy named Aaron Carter. Aaron had a special reason for taking such an interest in the band. NickCarter, one of the Backstreet Boys, was Aaron’s big brother.Even before Nick joined the band in 1996, Aaron loved music. From the age of two, Aaron spent most of his time listening to the radio. He sang along with his favorite songs. He made up dances to go with them. So Aaron’s family was not surprised when Aaron decided to follow Nick into the music world.Aaron got off to a fast start. At the age of seven, he joined a band in his hometown of Tampa, Florida. But after two years, Aaron didn’t want to be part of a band anymore. He wanted to sing alone. Soon, Brother Nick gave Aaron a helping hand. During a Backstreet Boys show in Germany, Aaron sang a song. He did an amazing job! After the show, someone from a record company asked Aaron to make an album (专辑). Of course, Aaron said yes!Since that day, Aaron has made lots of songs that sell well. His songs include “Crush on You”and “I’m Gonna Miss You Forever”.Aaron has worked hard to become a success. But he never forgets how his brother gave him his start. As Aaron has said, “If Nick wasn’t a singer, then I wouldn’t be there.”22.What does the underlined part “made a big splash”in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A.Led to a heated discussion.B.Drew wide attention.C.Collected a lot of money.D.Got into great trouble.23.According to the passage, Aaron .A.fell in love with music after Nick became famousB.joined the Backstreet Boys at the age of sevenC.was not allowed to sing by his familyD.was thankful for his brother Nick’s support24.How did Nick Carter help his brother get started?A.He made up some dances for Aaron.B.He wrote some songs for Aaron’s first album.C.He let Aaron sing a song during a show in Germany.D.He told Aaron to listen to the radio and sing along.25.What is discussed in the passage?A.The road to success of a singer.B.The rise and fall of a hand.C.The secret of success of a band.D.The way to be a singer.答案：22-25 BDCADI began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt's house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see-the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism (乐观主义), but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost-having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and Igot used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to "the hard times."My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with immigration officers, took my grandparents tothe doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.From my experiences I have learned one important rule: Almost all common troubles eventually go away! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.26.
