There is an old style out there of young girls talking endlessly on the phone with one another. It’s an idea that is far from untrue in many families. I remember being a twelve-year-old and spending some quality time on the phone with my girl-friends, even though we’d seen each other at school. I didn’t really have anything to talk about, I guess, but I think I was just happy to have someone else to talk to and that someone wanted to talk to me.

We call this phenomenon (现象) of girls going on forever over the regular phone “girl talk”. And these days, girl talk has spread far beyond the old phone-teens communicate with each other pretty much nonstop through cell phone, texting，online chat. Is girl talk a good thing? According to experts, it can be in limited quantities.

Girl talk has its place. But too much of it, especially the kind during which problems are talked about endlessly can be not such a good thing. Psychologists (心理学家) think that too much of that kind of talking can lead to emotional problems such as depression (沮丧) and anxiety. Girls, much more so than boys, will always think of a problem and get worried, making the problem worse other than solving it. The best way is to try to guide the conversation toward something positive, or to do something about the problem rather than sit around and chat about it endlessly.

24. As a teen, the author used to chat with her friends ________.

A. over the cell phone B. over the old phone

C. through texting D. on the Internet

25. According to the first paragraph, we know that ________.

A. many people think talking on the phone untrue

B. girls do little housework but only make calls

C. girls don’t want to talk at school

D. many people find girl talk on the phone quite common

26. By saying “girl talk has its place” in paragraph 3, the author most probably considers girl talk to be ________.

A. useless B. meaningless C. acceptable D. active

27. In the opinion of the author, girls should ________.

A. find some boys to chat with B. ask for advice on chatting

C. take actions to solve problems D.talk about their emotional problems

C

Family fights are never pleasant. Whether you are dealing with a loud sister or a stubborn mom or dad, the situation can be bad. At least that’s what we have learned to expect.

What if it could be different? What if family fights and conflicts could be turned into opportunities to become closer? What if problems could be solved with everyone walking away feeling more deeply cared for and loved?

Family fighting is, on one level, about power. Someone is telling someone else what to do. In a short moment, emotions can be brought out and the fight is on. You can go down that old road or you can try something different.

In any fight, you have a need to be listened to and understood. People raise their voices and shout at each other because they’re not being listened to. It’s totally unconscious. You want your mom or dad to listen and understand. But you always seems to forget the person you’re fighting with has the same need to be listened to. So if you can put aside your need for a few minutes, the situation will change quickly. Give the other person some time to express his or her feelings, and you will earn your turn to be listened to.

And while you are listening, you have to listen for the right information. The best way to do this in emotional situations is to forget most of the words because many people can’t express what they are feeling with words alone, especially when they are upset.

But if the situation starts to get out of hand, it would be wise to just calm down and leave the problem until later because many fights happen at the wrong time. The situation will die down quickly, usually in less than 30 seconds. You can either move on to problem solving or reach an agreement to work on it at a better time.

This way, everyone will feel respected and listened to, even when there is conflict. Emotions will be understood and respected, and it will bring your family closer together.

28. From the first 3 paragraphs, we can conclude that ______.

A. when family members fight, it’s worse as they know each other’s weakness

B. family fights can be changed into something positive

C. family members fight to control each other

D. people had better avoid family fights.

29. In the author’s opinion, the key to dealing with family fights is to ______.

A. meet the need to be listened to first

B. make sure that you’re the first to be listened to

C. pay no attention to what others say in emotional situations

D. stop quarrelling when you feel you are giving orders

30. When the situation gets out of control, it’s best to ______.

A. work on a written agreement first

B move on to problem solving

C. wait for a suitable moment to speak

D. let the other person express their feelings

31. What is the main idea of this article? ______.

A. Reasons why family fights are not that bad

B. Advice on dealing with family fights

C. How to show respect in family fights

D. How to listen in family fights

D

If you are a fruit grower—or would like to become one—take advantage of Apple Day to see what's around. It's called Apple Day but in practice it's more like Apple Month. The day itself is on October 21, but since it has caught on, events now spread out over most of October around Britain.

Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see, and often taste, a wide variety of apples. To people who are used to the limited choice of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets, it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence, such as Decio which was grown by the Romans. Although it doesn't taste of anything special, it's still worth a try, as is the knobbly(多疙瘩的) Cat's Head which is more of a curiosity than anything else.

There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions. One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette, but you'll need a warm, sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it, so it's a pipe dream for most apple lovers who fall for it.

At the events, you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions, and because these are family affairs, children are well catered for with apple­themed fun and games.

Apple Days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit, including stately gardens and commercial orchards(果园). If you want to have a real orchard experience, try visiting the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale, near Faversham in Kent.

32. What can people do at the apple events?

A. Attend experts' lectures. B. Visit fruit­loving families.

C. Taste many kinds of apples. D. Plant fruit trees in an orchard.

33. What can we learn about Decio?

A. It is rarely seen now. B. It has a strange look.

C. It has a special taste. D. It is a new kind of apples.

34. What does the underlined phrase “a pipe dream” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. A practical idea. B. A brilliant plan.

C. An unrealistic hope. D. An powerful ability.

35. What is the author's purpose in writing the text?

A. To help people select apples. B. To promote apple research.

C. To show how to grow apples. D. To introduce an apple festival.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I’m writing to apply for the position of the host/hostess of the English Speech Contest to be held in our school next week.

I think I’m well qualified for the position. To begin with, I have always been learning oral English online from Tutor ABC since I was 10 and I can speak English fluently. In addition, I’ve organized several English parties successfully, which helped me gain much experience in hosting programs. Besides, I’m outgoing and easy to get along with, so I’m sure I can work in harmony with others.

I would appreciate it if you could give me the opportunity and I will try my best to make the English Speech Contest a success.

Looking forward to your early reply.
