It is necessary to share your feelings with others. Sharing your feelings helps you to get closer to people you care about and who care about you.

Sometimes it can be really hard not to tell anyone that you're feeling sad, worried, or upset. Don't keep feelings locked inside. If that, it can even make you feel sick!

But if you talk with someone who cares for you, like your mom or dad, you will not be all alone with your problems or worries. It doesn't mean your problems and worries go off, but at least someone else knows what your trouble is and can help you find ways to do with it.

If the person doesn't understand what you mean right away, try explaining it in a different way or give an example that has something to do with you. Of course, there are many ways for you to speak up your feelings. If you think you'll have trouble saying what's on your mind, write it down on a piece of paper.

Some of us, just like some adults, are more private（有隐私的）than others. That means some people will feel shy about sharing their feelings. A kid doesn't have to share every feeling he or she has, but it is important to share feelings when a kid needs help.

C. the teenagers

A. Don't tell anything to others.

B. Don't care about what others think.

"Homestay is a form of study abroad program. It allows a visitor to rent a room from a local （当地的） family to understand the local lifestyle better. It also helps to improve the visitor's language ability," said a teacher, during a school meeting last term. "Students who wish to learn more about foreign cultures or to get foreign experience should join this kind of holiday. I am sure you won't be disappointed （失望的）."

After this special meeting, I always thought about this kind of holiday. Last month I had a chance at last to go on such a holiday with some of my schoolmates and we went to London—a place where I had wanted to go since years ago.

As we were still young, we had a group leader who planned things for us and looked after us. After we got to London, we went to stay with different families. I was lucky that my host family （寄宿家庭）was a white couple who had a daughter about my age. They treated me as a daughter of their family during my stay there. They were interested in me and I learnt a lot of

things from them too.

The holiday was filled with activities every day. After breakfast, a local teacher would come to take us in his car. Then we would have classes or go on a sightseeing trip to different places of interest, like the Big Ben, the London Bridge and the Buckingham Palace. We would go back to our own homes after the activities.

The holiday was a valuable experience for me. I enjoyed every minute of it. Yet, time really flew fast. Three weeks later, we had to leave "homes" for Hong Kong.

5．阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

When I was younger, bedtime was always my favorite part of the day. Wearing soft pajamas （睡衣裤） and with Lan, my stuffed monkey, in my arms, I felt no pressure at all.

I named Lan after my uncle when I compared Lan's long arms and legs to his. One night I ran up

to Uncle Lan at a family party and told him I had named my monkey after him. His eyebrows wrinkled （起皱纹）in confusion, and then a chuckle （哈哈大笑）escaped from his lips. I guess he didn't understand how important it was to me.

Even if Uncle Lan didn't think my monkey was special, I certainly did. I dressed him in a white baby nightgown （睡衣）. My mother thought that Lan was the best-dressed stuffed animal in the world. Yes, he was certainly a fashionable creature. The strong cologne （科隆香水） I used on him years ago makes him still smell "pretty".

For a long time, Lan went everywhere with me. He was my best friend, and I told him everything. But when I turned twelve, I realized I was too old for stuffed animals. I thought people would think I was babyish, so I put him in the cupboard with the rest of my teddy bears and dolls. I begged him to understand why I was doing this, but at the same time I longed to talk to him again.

It took me several years to realize that it was OK to miss Lan. I know now that maturity （成熟） doesn't only mean growing up and taking on more responsibility （责任）. It also means holding on to your childhood and acting young sometimes.

Lan has been with me since I was six years old. Holding him in my arms connects me with my past and my present as I continue growing and understanding myself.

（1）Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?

A. Bedtime used to be the writer's favorite part of the day because of the stuffed monkey.

B. Uncle Lan liked the stuffed monkey as much as the writer.

D. Years later the writer realized that it was not wrong to miss Monkey Lan.

（2）The writer loved Monkey Lan deeply because ________.

A. he could understand her

B. he was a fashionable monkey

C. he could talk with her

D. he was her most honest listener

（3）We can learn from the passage that the writer believes ________.

A. keeping stuffed animals is babyish

B. maturity doesn't mean growing up and taking on more responsibility

C. one should keep to his childhood and act young sometimes even when he has grown up

D. human beings should be kind to animals

【答案】（1）B

（2）D

（3）C

【解析】【分析】文章大意：文章讲述了自从六岁一直陪伴自己的布袋猴Lan，它是她忠实的倾听者，她走到哪里把它带到哪里，直到12岁，把它放进橱柜里，现在我才意思到成熟不仅是长大和承担更多的责任，而且是有时候坚持童年和装嫩。

（1）细节理解题。根据 When I was younger, bedtime was always my favorite part of the day.可知A是对的，根据For a long time, Lan went everywhere with me. 可知C正确，根据It took me several years to realize that it was OK to miss Lan. 可知D正确，根据 I guess he didn't

understand how important it was to me. 可知Uncle Lan不理解布袋猴对我多么重要，故选B。

（2）细节理解题。根据 He was my best friend, and I told him everything. 可知作者那么爱布袋猴Lan因为他是她最好的朋友，倾听她的一切，也就是它是她的最忠实的倾听者，故选D。

（3）细节理解题。根据I know now that maturity （成熟）doesn't only mean growing up and taking on more responsibility （责任）. It also means holding on to your childhood and acting young sometimes. 可知成熟不只意味着长大和承担更多的责任。它也意味着有时候坚持你的童年和装嫩。故选C。

6．阅读理解

More than 1,000 different kinds of pieces of plastic, including 115 cups, 25 bags, four bottles and two pairs of shoes, have been found inside a dead whale（鲸鱼） in Indonesia, according to local officials.

When the whale was found on the island, it was already decomposing when animal doctors arrived. So they were unable to be sure if the plastic caused its death, said Lukas, the leader of the World Wildlife Fund in Indonesia. The plastic weighed about 6 kilograms, or 13 pounds, he said.

But pictures of the dead whale caused a warm discussion. The people in the country have started to realize that it is because of using too much plastic. So has the government. Indonesia, a nation of about 260 million people was the world's second-biggest producer of plastic waste in 2018, behind only China.

If the whales eat too much plastic, they will have a wrong feeling. They think that they are full. And that will lead them to eat less food that provides all the good things they need, said Nicholas who is the leader of the Ocean Conservancy. Moreover, eating too much plastic can make them reduce their weight, their energy and slow down their swimming. As a result, whales are easier to be hurt by the sharks and many other dangerous animals in the sea.

More than 800 kinds of animals in the sea are affected by about 8.8 million tons of plastic which is thrown away freely in the ocean each year. Plastic can also stop the animals moving freely and sometimes they will cause them to die because they have to be under the water for too long. Some plastic can make a small hole in their stomachs after they eat it.

（1）What does the underlined word "decomposing" in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. 腐烂.

B. 吸收.

C. 凝固.

D. 飘散.（2）Which country produced most plastic waste in 2018?

A. India.

B. China.

C. Indonesia.

D. America.

（3）What happens to the whales after eating too much plastic?

A. They will feel hungry.

B. They will die at once.

C. They will eat less healthy food.

D. They will attack sharks actively.

（4）According to the passage, what can we infer?

A. Pictures of the dead whale caught few people's attention.

B. People kill whales because they are dangerous animals.

C. Plastic can stop sea animals moving freely, even cause them to die.

D. Indonesia government will take action to stop the sea pollution.

【答案】（1）A

（2）B

（3）C

（4）D

【解析】【分析】这篇文章讲述在印度尼西亚发现了一头死去的鲸鱼胃里有很多塑料。由此引起了人们对过度使用塑料的反思。

（1）细节题。根据后文So they were unable to be sure if the plastic caused its death…可知这只鲸鱼在被发现时已经死了，可推知decomposing描述的是它死后的状态，结合选项，腐烂的意思符合语境，故选A。

（2）细节题。根据第三段Indonesia, a nation of about 260 million people was the world's second-biggest producer of plastic waste in 2018, behind only China.印度尼西亚是第二大产国，仅次于中国，可见中国产生的塑料垃圾最多，故选B。

（3）细节题。根据第四段And that will lead them to eat less food that provides all the good things they need…可只吃了太多塑料，“吃饱了”的错觉，会让鲸鱼不吃健康的食物，故选C。

（4）细节题。根据第三段The people in the country have started to realize that it is because of using too much plastic. So has the government.这个国家的人们已经开始意识到这是因为使用了太多的塑料。政府也意识到了，由此可推知政府将会采取措施阻止海洋污染。故选D。

Dragon Dance（舞龙） is a kind of traditional dance in Chinese culture. It has been spread all over China and to the whole world.

Traditionally, dragons were made of wood and cloth. However, in the modern times, dragons are much lighter because they are made of lighter materials like plastic. The length（长度） of dragons can be from around 25 to 35 metres for acrobatic（杂技） models, and up to 50 to 70 metres for the largest parade（游行） styles because people believe that the longer the dragon is, the more luck it will bring. A small organization cannot run a very long dragon because it

requires great human power, much money and special skills.

The Dragon Dance itself began during the Han Dynasty. And it was started by the Chinese who had shown great respect towards the dragon. It was already a popular event during the Song Dynasty. At that time, it became a popular activity like the Lion Dance. People could often see it during some important festivals.

It was midday when I got the call that my grandfather was not well and he was quickly getting worse. My family didn't know how long he would stay in the world. I knew I had to get to the hospital to tell him how much I loved him. As I drove to the hospital, I pictured him before I got to tell him how much he meant to me. Trying to fight back the tears, I wanted to stay calm when I saw him.

When I got to the hospital, I hurriedly looked for his hospital room. I found him in a semi-conscious state*. On my knees, I said softly, "Hello, Grandpa."

Still feeling shy, I decided not to leave his bedside without letting him know. When I asked about how he was, he told me, "I'll be fine, Henry." But we both knew that wasn't true. Then he

asked me with a smile how I was doing.

Hearing what my grandpa said, I was much moved. I made the decision that I had to show my gratitude for him. As I found all the courage* I had, I hold his hand tightly. I cried out, "Grandpa, I just want to let you know how much I love you. I hope you already know that yet. I just want to make sure." By this time, the tears were rolling down my face. All those years of love that I had shut and not let him know became free.

Smiling, he said," I know. Thank you for telling me that." "All I have on this planet is my family and my love for them. If there is anything I could ask of you, I want you to be good to your family: your mother, your father, and your brother. That's all I want of you."

From then on, I began telling people how much I loved them, cared for them, and respected them. I got in touch with others to show my thanks. I went down into the city once a week and tried to help the homeless. I woke up every morning and listed everything I was thankful to in my life.

unable to say when he reached the top but thought it was around mid-day. She also said his "legs" didn't work well sometimes, so her husband was carrying a spare leg and repair tools.

Mark used to be a mountain guide before his accident. He said it was not important that no one like him had ever reached the 8,850-meter mountain.
