Jack puts on his backpack（背包）and walks out of school to catch his bus home. His backpack is full of books. "Hey, Jack！”Carl says, running up to him. "My dad's doing the park clean up this weekend. Could you help out?"
"Um." Jack knows he doesn't have time to help, but he hates（讨厌）to say no. "I guess I can."
Jack gets onto the bus. He is going to have to stay up late（熬夜）tonight to do his homework so he can help Carl in the morning.
"Jack," Jane says, sitting down next to him. "I have to walk Mrs. Green's dogs this weekend. Do you think you could help me?"
"Um...I guess I can."
"Great! "
Jack's backpack feels even heavier（更重了）as he walks into the house.
“Haul day?" his mother asks.
“Hard weekend. I have to finish my homework, help Carl with the park clean-up, and he help Jane walk Mrs. Green's dogs."
"You agree（同意）to too many things this weekend." his mother says.
"I know, but Carl and Jane are my friends. I can't say 'no' to them. What should I do? "
"I'm happy you want to help your friends, but you need to have time for your things, too."
Jack knows she is right. "Maybe I can tell Carl that I can only help for two hours in the morning. And I can help Jane walk dogs early in the morning, but not at lunchtime or in the evening. " Jack says. "Mom, do you think they'll be unhappy?"
"They're your friends. Tell them you, need time to finish your homework. They'll understand.（理解）. "

黄冈创优卷系列答案阅读下面短文，根据所读内容，在空格里填入一个恰当的单词(每空只填一个单词)。
Sue and Jim were neighbours for five years but they were never interested in each other. Then one day, Sue saw Jim’s music collection. She noticed a rare punk rock CD that she also owned. At that moment, she realized that they both had the same interest in music and they started talking. Sue said, “I thought we had nothing in common until I saw his CD by the New York Dolls.” They are now married and living with each other.
Some psychologists (心理学家) think that your taste in music is related to (有联系的) your personality. As part of a test at the University of Texas, Austin, USA, volunteers created a CD of their favourite songs. The volunteers then listened to each other’s CDs and made guesses about the CD creator’s personality—outgoing, adventurous, happy, and so on. These strangers correctly guessed much more about each other’s personalities through their CDs than through their clothes or taste in films. For example, Sue and Jim love punk music, which means they have outgoing personalities.
The psychologists who did the test found Snoop Dogg (hip-hop) fans are likely to be energetic and talkative. People who like U2 (rock/pop music) are generally independent and adventurous.
The psychologists also found that Louis Armstrong(jazz) fans tend to(倾向于) be shy. The psychologists were surprised to find that rap and heavy metal fans were also shier and quieter than many other music lovers.
