Monday: Here I am, in the middle of nowhere. This camping trip idea is not getting off to a very good start. It’s raining and the tent leaks (漏). The hiking seemed to take forever, and I still can’t understand how it could all have been up hill! How did I ever let my brother persuade me into doing this? When we get home—if we ever get home—he’s going to have to do something great to get back on my good side. Maybe he should sponsor (赞助) a shopping spree（狂购）at the mall!

Tuesday: Things are looking up. The sun came out today, so we were able to leave the tents and dry out. We’re camped at the edge of a small lake that I couldn’t see before because of the rain and fog. The mountains are all around us, and the forest is absolutely beautiful. We spent most of the day dragging out everything out of our backpacks or tents and putting it where the sun could dry it out. Later in the afternoon we tried to catch the fish for dinner, but the fish were smarter than we were. At night we built a fire and sang songs happily.

Wednesday: We hiked to the far side of the lake and climbed to the top of a small peak. From there we could see how high the other mountains were and how far the forest spread around us. On the way up we passed through a snowfield!

Thursday: I caught my first fish! We followed the stream that fed the lake. After about two miles, we came to a section (区域) that Carol said looked “fishy”. She had a pack rod (竿) , which can be carried in a backpack. I asked to cast (投掷) it, and I caught a fish on my first try. Carol caught a few more. But they were just too pretty to eat for lunch, so we put them back in the stream.

Friday: I can’t believe we are going home already. It will be nice to get a hot shower, sleep in a real bed, and eat junk food, but the trip has been wonderful. We’re already talking about another camping adventure next year where we canoe (乘独木舟) down a river. It’s hard to believe, but I think this city girl has a little country blood in her veins.

2. The whole morning of Tuesday, the writer ____________．

3.It can be inferred that Carol had a pack rod with her because ____________．

4. It is likely that the writer will ____________．

When I was in the ninth grade, my parents started fighting. I could hear them   36  at each other at night. It always seemed like they were fighting about me. I started to   37  and couldn’t fall asleep. Some nights I didn’t feel like I   38  at all. My grades really started to   39  too. It was hard to pay attention during class because I felt so   40  all the time.

My mom had to take me to see a therapist(治疗专家). On the way, I   41  to worry even more. What would my friends   42  me if they knew I was going to see a therapist? What if the therapist couldn’t   43   me?

It was not that   44 . My therapist asked me a lot of questions and then we talked about how my life might   45  if I was able to get more sleep.   46  I understood how the future could be better, I felt really   47  to try new things. At the end of the session, I was sent home with a piece of paper called a sleep diary. When I woke up each morning, I had to answer all these questions about my sleep.

  48 , she gave me homework related to my sleep. I wasn’t   49  to text or be on my computer after 8 pm. If I couldn’t fall asleep after about ten minutes, she wanted me to get up and do something in another room that would help me to   50  and feel sleepy.

During the therapy sessions, she was a cheerleader for my life and kept   51  out all the things I was doing right. With her help, it was so much easier to notice the   52  things that were happening all around me.

After about two months of seeing my therapist, I was sleeping at least eight hours a night, sometimes even nine! I felt happier. I could   53 . My grades got better. Basically, I felt like myself! It was so much better to admit that something was   54  and to do something to fix it   55  just watch my whole life get worse and worse.

［1］It’s a fine line parents walk as they try to guide their kids into adulthood.You want to protect but not treat too kindly,advise but not control and let them live their own lives—with some input,of course.

［2］When your child asks for help or advice，give only what was asked for.If your Child asks you to tie a particular hard-to-tie knot（绳结）for a project she is working on，just tie the knot.Don’t start helping with the rest of the project or making suggestions on how to do it.She wants to do it herself,in her own way.Befor                 which your child has not askd for,count to ten.Perhaps in those seconds you’ll decide that the advice would do no good，or isn’t really that important，and you’ll drop it.If the advice still seems important,you will give it，but the pause may lead you to give it in a more thoughtful way.

［3］Remember that your child is not you and is not a reflection of you.We mak a serious mistake if we try to shape our children into copies of ourselves,or if we think of them as extensions or reflections of ourselves.We need to help them to be them,not try to turn them into us or into something that we think will make us look good.

［4］Our primary responsibility to our children is not that of telling them moment-to-moment or day-to-day how to behave but providing them with a healthy environment in which to develop.For example,one of the best ways you can help your kids is to work with your community to create safe-enough outdoor places to play in your neighborhood.

Translate the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 into Chinese.

We tried so hard to make things better for our kids but we made them worse. For my naughty boys, I’d know better. I’d really like for them to know about hand-me-down clothes and home-made ice cream and leftover meatloaf. I really would.

My cherished boys, I hope you learn humility (谦逊) by surviving failure and that you learn to be honest even when no one is looking. I hope you get a black eye fighting for something you believe in. I hope you have to share a bedroom with your younger brother. And it is all right to draw a line down the middle of the room, but when he wants to crawl (爬) under the covers (被子) with you because he’s scared, I hope you’ll let him. And when you want to see a Disney movie and your kid brother wants to tag along, I hope you take him.

　　I hope you have to walk uphill with your friends and that you live in a town where you can do it safely. I hope you learn to dig in the dirt and read books, and when you learn to use computers, you also learn how to add and subtract (减) in your head.

May you skin your knee climbing a mountain, burn your hand on the stove and stick your tongue on a frozen flagpole (旗杆). I hope you get sick when someone blows smoke in your face. I don’t care if you try beer once, but I hope you won’t like it.

I sure hope you make time to sit on a porch with your grandpa or go fishing with your uncle.

I hope your father punishes you when you throw a baseball through a neighbor’s window, and that your mother hugs you and kisses you when you give her a plaster of pared mold (一个石膏模型) of your hand.

　 These things I wish for you—tough times and disappointment, hard work and happiness.

I shall never forget the day when the earthquake took place. It was about 5 o’clock in the afternoon and I was   16  to my daughter’s school. Our plan was to go   17 together. I’d stopped at a   18  to get some fresh fruit. We like to have some fruit to eat   19  our swim. I was driving along a high road on the way.  20  my road was another road which was built like a   21 . I was hungry so I put the bag of apples   22  me and started to eat one.  23  I saw the cars in front of me start to  24  from side to side. Then my car started to shake! I didn’t know what was happening. Perhaps something had   25  wrong with my car. I drove a little more slowly and then I   26  the car and at the same moment the road   27  onto the cars in front of me. I found myself in the __28 . I couldn’t move. My legs and feet were hurting badly and I couldn’t move them. All round me was  29 But above me I could hear shouts and a lot of noise. Then I memorized what had happened. I had been   30  an earthquake. For about two hours nobody came. Luckily I could reach the bag of   31 , so at least I had plenty to eat. Then I heard people   32  towards me. A team of people had come to   33  if anyone was under the   34  road. I called out, “I’m here!” I heard a shout. Soon a stranger climbed to my car. “How are you   35 ?”He asked. “Not too bad,”I said. They didn’t get me out until the next morning.
