安徽省芜湖市2020年初中英语九年级毕业暨升学模拟考试卷(三)(含听力音频)
As you grow up, you need to explore the world in new ways, while your parents need to protect you from the dangers in the world. Different ideas might lead to fights in families. Do you know how to make your home a happy and healthy place? Try the following.
Respect
Respect is more than just doing what you are told to do. Respect is about valuing(重视) what your parents have to say. It is also about them valuing what you have to say.
Mark, 14, puts it this way, "At least try to understand whatever they are trying to tell you, no matter how bad it may sound at the time."
Communication
You can communicate with your parents by expressing your thoughts in a respectful way. Your ability to explain your thoughts calmly may give your parents a chance to see you in a new light.
Trust
You are more likely to get along with your parents and have more freedom if your parents trust you.
Taking time together
Some teenagers find that doing fun activities with their parents can improve their relationships. Sharing time together can build trust and communication. Sometimes we forget that parents are more than rule-makers — they're interesting people who like to watch movies, play cards, and go shopping— just like us!
Your relationship with your parents may be sometimes good and sometimes bad. But remember that parents can be a great support when things are not going well. So try your best to improve the relationship between you and your parents. If your parents see that you try your best, they will do the same.

Your Junior 3 year will finish soon. Do you want to say something about your junior school life? What were the rewards (收获) of the three years? Our readers have their stories to share.
Ben,15,Guangzhou,Guangdong I experienced a hard time in Junior 2 when my grades suddenly dropped(下降) a lot. I faced great pressure. In the following summer vacation, I worked hard by studying for 10 hours a day. It was crazy, but when I became one of the top students again, I felt everything had been worthwhile(值得的). |
Julie, 13,Beijing In July, 2011,I had a trip to the UK with some students and teachers. When we arrived there, the other students and I didn't want to eat the local food. The teachers were worried and tried to make us eat. When we finally finished the meal, the guide said that the world now sees how spoiled(被宠坏的)Chinese kids are. I felt really sorry. |
John,14,Hangzhou,Zhejiang I lived in a dorm(寝室)during junior school. It was a great challenge since I had never left my parents before that. I had to take care of everything myself. I learned to make my bed and get along with roommates. I also learned to make a schedule to arrange(安排)my time .I've done a good job and I feel proud. |

Some students, parents and teachers in Shanghai were surveyed last month. According to the result of the survey, the generation gap (代沟) between students and parents as well as teachers is becoming wider. Here is what they said.
Voice of the students:
"Our parents hold too high expectations(期待)which put us under lots of pressure(压力). They care too much about our lives and studies," one student said.
"It's impolite that some students' parents read their children's diaries without permission!" one student said angrily.
"Some of our teachers are so serious that we can't make friends with them at all," another student said sadly.
Voice of the parents:
One mother said, "After school, my daughter usually locks herself into her room and spends lots of time talking with others on the phone. And I can't stand her clothes and hairstyle!"
"I thought my son was doing very well in his studies. I didn't realize I was being cheated (欺骗) by him until I got a call from his teacher," said a father.
Voice of the teachers:
An English teacher said, "Today, the role of the teacher is to put knowledge into students' brain. The power teachers have kept students away from them."
"Some parents pay too much attention to their children's grades. They never create a lively and colorful environment at home," another teacher said.
"In the past, teachers and students often played games together or talked with each other. Today, only studies and grades are talked about," said a teacher.
Voice of scientists:
Scientists say that a school should be a place where students can learn not only knowledge, but also how to face failure bravely enough.

Do foreigners find online shopping fun or painful? Some of my foreign friends have shared their online shopping stories with me.
Ari James(the US)
One of the first things I was told about China is Taobao. When I arrived in Nanjing, it didn't take me a long time to start buying things from Taobao. I bought bags, shoes and many other things.
Christine(Australia)
I've been shopping online for nearly three years. Now I'm completely in love with Taobao. I can find almost everything I want on it. It took me a long time to get used to online shopping, since most online shops serve Chinese people. But as soon as I got the knack(诀窍), online shopping became quite easy.
Barbara Gordon(the US)
I've only used Taobao a few times. Compared with website like Amazon, Taobao is worse. You have to be very careful about what you will buy in order to avoid scams(诈骗). If Taobao can try harder to fight against online scams, it'll be more successful.
Lindy(Canada)
I can't stop shopping on Taobao! I often search for what I want through Taobao of a whole day! I'm so crazy about traditional Chinese gifts. I won't miss this year's shopping day.

{#blank#}1{#/blank#}
The young woman at the airline check-in desk meant no harm. She greeted a customer with a question which would be no problem in Chinese," What's your problem?" But this question is impolite in English, and the customer became very angry. In this situation, the young woman should say." May I help you?" or" How can I help you?" Then she would not be facing an unhappy traveler.
{#blank#}2{#/blank#}
Maybe you would like something. Instead of saying" Giving me a hamburger," say," Could I have a hamburger, please?" or "I'd like a hamburger." English speakers often use the expressions" please "and" thank you". When requesting something, use" Can I" or "Could I". In formal situations," May I" is the best.
{#blank#}3{#/blank#}
When someone asks your opinion, you don't want to make them feel upset by saying something they think is unkind. Maybe someone asks," What do you think of my idea?" Don't say," It's a terrible idea." if you don't like it. Say," I don't think it's the best idea." Then people will accept your opinion more easily.
{#blank#}4{#/blank#}
When you can't accept an invitation, don't say." I can't. I'm busy" Refuse in a more indirect way." I'm afraid I can't…" or" I'd love to, but…" or" That sounds great, but..." These phrases soften the message and make it easier to accept.
{#blank#}5{#/blank#}
Avoid saying others have done wrong. Don't say," You don't understand me." Say, Maybe I need to make clear what I mean." Give special attention to" I" or" We" rather than" you". Take time to learn polite phrasing. Then you'll make your communication with people more pleasant.
