31、ds around me. This was to stop the crowd of people from hurting me. An officer told the guards to hold six men who made me angry. These men were given to me and I had to choose their punishment.

32、. The guards were worried when they saw my knife in my hand. Was I going to cut up the man? But I only cut the binding(捆绑物) round his hands. Then I put him on his feet and let him go. I lifted the other five men out of my pocket and put them gently on the ground too.The people and the soldiers were
33、very pleased with my great kindness. They told the Emperor about it immediately.

39、ard job these days, but living and dealing with parents can be even harder. If I have learned anything in my 16 years, it is that communication is very important, whether you agree or not. With any relationship, you need to let other person know how you are feeling. If you are not able to communicat
40、e, you will be away from them. When you are mad at your parents, or anyone else, not talking to them doesnt solve anything. Communication begins with the concerns (关心) of another. It means that you cant just come home from school, go up to your room and take no notice to anyone. Even you just say “H
41、i“. 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, the way of communicating: a letter or a message“. To keep a good relationship, you must keep communication strong. Let people know how you
42、feel, even if its 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 youll listen to what they have to say, but ask them politely to listen to you.
43、Yelling or walking away only makes the situation worse. Here 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 didnt tell her parents before going. That was rude.She was late getting home. Her parents were m
44、ad at first. But after Sophie explained why she was late, they weren t as mad and let it go. Communication is the key here. If sophies parents didnt want to listen to her, sophie would be in a lot of trouble. Communication isnt a one-way matter but both ways. Just remember: if you get into a situati
45、on like Sophies, telling the other person how you feel-listening is the key factor to communication.41.how does the writer feel about dealing with parents?.A. difficult B. easy C. interesting D. mad42, whats the meaning of communication?A; the exchange of ideas. B; the conveyance of information.C, t
46、he ways of communicating,D, all the above43.What does the example in paragraph 4 show?A: Sophie is very polite to her parents.b. Sophies parents dont want to miss her.C; Sophie should communicate with her parents better.D Sophie did well in communicating with her parents44. Which of the following st
47、atements is not true? A, communication is a two-way matterB, Its better to say hi to others than say nothing. C: When dealing with parents, you only need to listen to them. D: If you do agree with others, youd better let them know45. Whats the best title of the article?A; The expression of communica
48、tion.B: The importance of communicationC: The ways of communication. D; The example of communication.第二节,阅读填空,共5小题,每小题1分,满分5分.阅读短文及文后选项,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Have you heard about “Survival Holidays“?_46_ Now about 1,100 companies are allowed to take children into the great outdoors without thei
