山西省实验中学2019届九年级下学期英语2月月考试卷

阅读下面短文及图表,按要求完成所给任务。

    Parents with high expectations for their children are nothing new to Chinese kids. However, people often don't realize that children also have expectations for their parents. What expectations do Chinese children have for parent-child relationships?

    China Youth & Children Research Center did a survey on this topic in the United States, Japan, South Korea and China. The survey found that 83.8 percent of Chinese children want to be friends with their parents, the greatest amount among the four countries. This means that they want a more equal(平等的) relationship with their parents.

    According to China Youth Daily, traditional Chinese values (价值观) such as respecting one's elders and the concept of hierarchy (等级观念) are preventing parents from becoming friends with their children. Many Chinese parents criticize (批评) and push their children, as there is lots of competition in school. It requires efforts from both parents and children to create a friendship in family. As children, what can you do to create a pleasant atmosphere (氛围) at home and make friends with your parents? Read on to find out.

    Tips to make home a happy place

    How can we get along better with our parents, and at the same time, grow into adults ourselves? Here are some tips.

    Act like an adult

    If you want your parents to give you more freedom, you should show them that you're ready to be treated differently. For example, learn to use self-control. Show them that you can manage your time well.

    Open your heart

    US psychologist (心理学家) Carl E. Pickhard wrote in Psychology Today that sharing feelings with our parents can lead to positive changes, while not sharing them can cause misunderstandings.

    Care for your parents

Do something nice or helpful for your parents. For example, help them with some home chores, make them gifts or teach them some computer skills. Their trust in you will grow.

    I wish there would be a way to describe China in a simple word but that's impossible.

    {#blank#}1{#/blank#}In my English classes when the students were asked what they would do if they only had a few hours to live, most students told me they would spend their last few hours with their families and parents.

    {#blank#}2{#/blank#} I teach in Xiangyang, a beautiful city which the Hanjiang River goes across it and I live here better. The foods are cheaper than those in the US, so are clothing and articles(物品) of everyday us. People pay less for the public transportation, too.

    {#blank#}3{#/blank#} However, it is reported that still there are a few children who can't afford the expenses(费用) of schooling. But the government organized Project Hope many years ago. It creates conditions for the poor children to go back to school.

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#}I seldom saw the things mentioned of the creative(有创造力的) changes China has made. But the economic miracles(经济奇迹) have the big problems.

    {#blank#}5{#/blank#} To be honest, if I compare China with the US, my answer has always been the same: "We are not worse or better than each other; we are only different."

A. It's a tradition to value education in China.

B. I realize that family is everything in China.

C. I am often asked which country I consider better.

D. You'll not know China unless you go closer to it.
