It is a very common thing for a person to have a good friend. My good friend is Diana. She is a rich and proud girl. She often thinks that she is too good for anyone, so nobody wants to be her friend.
One day after school, I was waiting for Diana when Vivien came up to me. She gave me a biscuit. I accepted it. We talked and joked, and from then on, I began to spend more time with Vivien than with Diana. I felt a little uneasy.
After a few days, I went to see Diana for some snacks when Vivien came and sat with me. She offered me a sandwich. She also offered one to Diana, but Diana refused it. She walked away. I was angry with Diana for being so rude and thoughtless.
“Never mind,” Vivien said, “I’m used to it.”
After school, I tried to catch up with Diana. While walking home, I tried to correct her attitude, but she would not listen to me. She said, “Go and join your ‘dear’ Vivien. I know you make new friends and forget the old ones.”
For the next few weeks, we did not talk to each other. Then, one day, Diana came to Vivien and me, saying, “I’m really sorry about what I did.

Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true.
Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don’t worry about it. Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (消除代沟).
Don’t argue (争辩) with your parents. Don’t get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry. Go someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don’t think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.
Try to reach a compromise (和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.
Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect (尊敬) to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.
Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.
A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try!
56. The passage tells us _______ have a communication problem.
A. parents and other people B. school kids and their parents
C. teachers and their students D. parents and children of all ages
57. Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you _______.
A. don’t get to them often B. write a letter to them
C. don’t speak to them politely D. express yourself well
58. The underlined phrase “cool off” in the passage means “_______”.
A. to make yourself happy B. to get you quiet and relaxed
C. to have a good rest D. to hide yourself quickly
59. If there’s really a generation gap between you and your parents, you’d better _______.
A. have a talk with them often B. keep away from them
C. agree with them all the time D. know about their values
60. From the passage we learn that _______.
A. parents and children should not have a generation gap

书面表达
My parents are very strict with me, and they have made some basic rules which I must obey. Firstly, I must finish my homework in time. Secondly, I cannot play computer games, even in my free time or on weekends. Thirdly, I have to do some chores, such as making the bed and tidying my bedroom and so on. If I break one of them, I will be punished. But thanks to these rules, I can live a healthy and regular life.
I think the second rule is unfair to me. I hope sometimes I could be allowed to play computer games for a while, it will make me relaxed.

Dear Sue,
You asked about my town. It’s a great place to live in. There are three places that l love the most and spend a lot of time in. Firstly, there is the park. It’s a great place because it’s so big and it’s just a short walk from my home. I go there every day after school and play a quick game of football with my friends. Another place I love is the library. It’s new and has a lot of books. I love reading and I do all my homework there. The other place is Top Food Center. The food there costs a little but is delicious. All the restaurants there sell different kinds of food, so there’s always something different to eat.
That’s my town, what about yours?
Please write back and tell me about it.
Yours,
Amy
