22、It can be painful when you feel like your parents are treating your siblings (兄弟姐妹)better than you. If you feel really sad about this, the following steps can help you improve the situation.
【1】
Since we’re all unique, nobody relates to any two people in exactly the same way. Sometimes a parent might appear to favor you in some situations and favor a sibling in others. No parent can be perfect, but they should do their best to be fair. It’s normal for parents to treat each child little differently, because each kid might benefit from a slightly different approach.
Try telling your parents how you feel.
Your goal is to communicate your feelings directly without being rude.【2】For example, saying “I feel ignored ”is better than saying “you’re ignoring me.” You can also say,“I feel left out lately. Sometimes I feel like you're so busy taking care of the baby that you don’t have enough time for me.”
Ask for what you'd like to happen.
【3】This lets them know how they can try to fix the problem. Present an idea that could help. You can say,“Could you please try to show up to more of my games so that I'll feel so happy knowing you’re there to cheer me on.”
Step away if things get heated.
Maybe you or your parents will get angry. It’s hard to have a useful conversation if one or both people are too angry to think straight. If you see this happening, take a break. Do some deep breathing and step away.【4】
Remember that your parents have to make the decision to change.
Sometimes talking about your feelings is enough for them to change their behavior.【5】This typically isn’t your fault (错误). The way they react to an honest conversation says how good they are at parenting, not how good you are at being their child. You can’t change other people. You can only control your own behavior.
A.Other times it isn't.
B.Use “I” language instead of “you” language.
C.Keep in mind that every relationship is different.
D.Remember that you can always try again another day.
E.Understand the situation by talking with your siblings.
F.Tell your parents what would help you feel closer to them.
G.You may feel better if you have another conversation immediately.
23、Today’s workplace is unique in history. Never before have we seen people working together who represent such different backgrounds and experiences. This difference of age, race, gender, and work style makes it very difficult to organize and run a company.
As a result, companies are looking for individuals who can manage a wide range of employees effectively. Increasingly, managers are discovering that age differences among workers are a major cause of concern.
This has been an important realization. The management difficulties and challenges have led some experts to study intergenerational differences for an understanding of problems in the workplace. What they have discovered is interesting and may provide ways of improving working conditions in companies that employ individuals from different generations.
The first thing to realize, they say, is that differences of opinion about the importance of work and how to get work done are not a coincidence. That is, it is not an accident that young employees will be different from older employees. In fact, if employers do not pay attention to these differences, it is possible that anger will build up between people and lead to difficulties in the company.
Resentment (仇恨) between members of different generations, if not attended to, can lead to extreme anger and unhappiness and even lasting enmity if people are not careful. That individuals from different generations should come to view each other as if they were from different sides of warring countries should not be surprising.
It is natural for individuals from the same generation to form alliances (联盟), to come together for protection. Different generations represent different experiences in life, and these lead naturally to different opinions about oneself and one’s approaches to work.
If you were raised in a time of plenty, when products were readily available and relatively inexpensive, you would believe that prosperity is natural and expectable. If, on the other hand, you were raised in a time of scarcity, you would always be careful not to waste things for fear you would not have enough. You would make angry people who seem to believe that problems will always solve themselves. Such optimism in the face of difficulties would be a source of unhappiness between you and them. It is difficult, in such circumstances, to achieve a happy, agreeable atmosphere in the workplace.
【1】According to the experts, employers should realize ______ if they want to avoid anger between employees.
A. the different understanding of problems in the workplace
B. the different views on value of work and working methods
C. the different genders of employees in the workplace
D. the different ways of expressing anger in the company
【2】The word “enmity” is closet in meaning to ______.
A. hatred B. sorrows
C. ignorance D. forgiveness
【3】What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Employees in some companies regard each other as mere enemies.
B. Employees’ attitudes towards life are related to the time when they grow up.
C. Employees who are raised in a time of scarcity tend to be angry with others.
D. Achieving a harmonious atmosphere in the workplace is the main task for employers.
【4】What does the writer mainly talk about in the passage?
A. Employees should be cooperative and friendly with each other.
B. It is difficult for employers to have workers work in a friendly way.
C. The weakness of human nature causes the anger between employees.
D. The generational differences cause the disharmony among employees.
24、 Mae Jemison was born in 1956 in Decatur, Alabama. Her father was a worker. Her mother was a school teacher. Both her parents encouraged their children to keep learning and go after their dreams.
One day when Mae was young, her thumb got hurt. She watched pus oozing out (脓流出). She was curious about pus: what was it and why was it coming out? That simple incident turned into a learning experience. She ended up doing a whole project on pus.

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My name’s Don Ball. I’m fifteen and I go to Blueway Comprehensive School, Mike is the same age and goes to the local grammar school, but we’ve been friends since junior school, We both live in the village of Saltley, which is in the Midlands. We’ve been birdwatching together since we were 11. I suppose we’re quite good at it now, because we do it regularly, read about it, use the Net to find out about birds, and we’re members of a club for birdwatchers, too.
We have a secret place, named RP, to watch birds. RP is the name we gave to a set of three small lakes surrounded by woods. They are called Redman’s Pools on large maps, but lots of people don’t know they are there because they are hidden by trees.
One day, Mike told me that he saw osprey(鱼鹰) there, which surprised me. There weren’t any in Britain because they’d been hunted too much. They were protected by the RSPB, because lots of people wanted the eggs for their collections.
By now the ospreys had finished building their nest at the top of one of the pine trees on the island in the middle of Big Pool, Of course, we still went to watch them every weekend, and a couple of nights after school, now that the days were getting longer.
One Saturday we were surprised to find a white car parked on the roadside near the track, and as we wheeled our bikes down the track to Redman’s Pools we saw a middle-aged man walking along the side of the pools with a large blue plastic bag over his shoulder.
He stopped at the point where the bank was closest to the island and started doing something with the bag. I was horrified by what I saw. The man had taken a small inflatable(可充气的) plastic boat out of his blue bag, and he was blowing it up.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
He was going to row over to the ospreys’ island!
