Teaching kids to fish sometimes puzzles us parents. Now I"d like to give you a few tips.
First of all, start them young. Get them in a boat, or on the bank at as early an age as you possibly can.
This means paying close attention to their safety. Whatever you do, DON"T plan on any fishing yourself.
If fishing is going to happen, the fishing will be done by the kids with your help! This lets you pay attention
to them and not ignore (忽略) them while you fish.
Next, choose places where you can catch a lot of fish easily. At this point, it doesn"t matter what kind
or how big; just make sure they can catch some. A small child"s patience (耐心) is very short, and waiting
30 minutes for a bite will turn them off in a hurry. You may need to go to a small pond (池塘) where the
fish are dying to eat bread balls. Any type of fish will do. Remember, this is for them, not for you.
Cheer for every fish they catch as they fish. Take pictures. And if it"s possible, take some home. Let the
child help you clean with a table knife, so he can"t get hurt.
Make sure he makes and sees the connection from catching to cleaning to cooking. Let him see the fish
cooking, and talk about how good they are. Then when it"s ready, make sure you talk proudly about the fact
that he or she has caught these fish, and "aren"t they good?"
In this way, I"m sure your kids will be interested in fishing and good at fishing. |

My mother is not a good example for me and my sister. She smokes, stays out late, and she curses (咒骂).
I love her but I am ashamed of her. I do not want to bring my friends home because she does not act like any
of the other mothers. She says I am a loser because I sit at home and study. I wish I could live in another
family that was normal, but it will be 5 years before I am 18. What am I supposed to do until then?
Prisoner of a Crazy House
Dear 7th Grader,
I am glad that you love your mother because the rest of your feelings about her may change as you get
older and mature.
While it is true that your mother"s smoking, partying and cursing bring you shame, the fact that you want
to stay separate from her doings is notable and very smart. It shows that you are a winner, not a loser. I am
guessing, therefore, that you do not bring shame to yourself, and that is a good thing. So, keep it that way
and keep away from your mother"s habits.
At the same time, try to get the best grades and join clubs and school activities. Offer social service on
weekends and visit your friends at their homes.
Fortunately, you are not alone. Many teens live in homes with immature, misguided, selfish parents. But
they develop good friendships with nice kids, do well in school, and often find a teacher or guidance advisor
who makes all the difference!
Do it, Miss Winning 13 years old, and keep looking forward to your own future. Maybe by then your
mother may even see the light and realize how good you really are.

typical (典型的) British Sunday in the 1960s. But things now could not be more different.
Some British sociologists recently studied the typical British Sunday. They found that people get up later
and do less housework than they did 40 years ago. They are far more likely to be out shopping or enjoying
themselves than cooking Sunday lunch.
Sunday mornings were busy 40 years ago. Most women caught up on their weekly housework and
cooked a nice lunch. They seldom allowed themselves any "leisure" until afternoon, after the dishes were
cleaned. Then there would be another rush to the table between 5:00 pm and 6:00 pm for tea. But now,
Britons can have brunch (早午餐) at the restaurant. Fewer people bother to cook themselves. "You only
have two free days a week. You don"t want to have to waste one because there is nothing to do but watch
boring TV," said Elizabeth Biggs, 25, a producer in London.
"On Saturday you are recovering from the week," Biggs added. "Sundays are the last chance for the
weekend - you want to get as much as you can out of the day before you have to go back to work." In
the past, British women usually did their shopping during the week, while the husband was at work. "Now
men seem to do that as much as women," said Jonathan Gershuny, a professor who took part in the study.
Men also do more housework now on Sundays. Back in the 1960s, men were far more likely to spend
Sundays out of the house at the pub or playing football before lunch. | | 1. Many Britons have brunch at the restaurant because ______. | | [ ] | A. They have no time to cook at home.
B. They get up too late.
C. They won"t bother to cook themselves.
D. They will go to church. | | 2. Which of the following is NOT true? | | [ ] | A. Britons used to go to church on Sundays.
B. Britons usually had a big lunch at home.
C. British women usually did their shopping during the week in the past.
D. British men did little housework at home in the past. | | 3. The text mainly tells us ______. | | [ ] | A. what Britons did on Sundays
B. why Britons go shopping on Sundays
C. how Britons spend their holidays
D. the changes of the ways the Britons spend their Sundays | | 4. What can we infer from the passage? | | [ ] | A. Men do more housework on Sundays.
B. Sundays in Britain might be very boring in the past.
C. No people go to church on Sundays now.
D. Britons all go out on Sundays. | | 阅读理解。 | It"s school time again! You"re probably feeling excited and maybe a little sad that summer is over. Some
kids feel nervous or a little afaid on the first day of school because of all the new things: new teachers, new
friends, and even a new school. Luckily, these "new" worries only stay for a little while. Let"s find out more
about going to a new school.
Most teachers kick off the new school year by introducing themselves and talking about all the things
you"ll be doing that year. Some teachers give students a chance to tell something about themselves to the rest
of the class, too. When teachers do the talking on the first day, they often go over classroom rules and school
rules so you"ll know what"s allowed and what"s not. Please pay close attention.
You might already know a lot of people in your classes on the first day, but it"s a great day to make a new
friend, so try to say hello to kids you know and new ones that you don"t. Make the first move and you"ll be
glad you did, and so will your new friend!
Seeing friends you haven"t seen in a while can make the first day an exciting one. You can make the day
feel special by wearing clothes that you really like. Maybe you got a great T-shirt on one of your vacations,
or a pair of shoes. It also can make you feel good to be prepared and have all the things you need, such as
pencils, paper, and whatever else you"ll be needing. But make sure that you pack (打包) them the night before
in case you don"t have time in the morning. | | 1. The underlined phrase "kick off" in the second paragraph probably means "_____". | | [ ] | A. start
B. study
C. find
D. teach | | 2. The last paragraphs mainly tell us about _____. | | [ ] | A. what to know about a new school.
B. how to prepare for a new school.
C. what to do on your first day of school.
D. how to spend your first day of school. | | 3. According to the passage you usually do everything on the first day of school except _____. | | [ ] | A. introduce yourself.
B. learn about the school rules.
C. make new friends.
D. go over your new lessons. | 4. If you happen to see an old friend on the first day of school, from the passage we know that you
will feel _____. | | [ ] | A. nervous.
B. lucky.
C. happy.
D. excited. | | 完形填空。 | When I moved into an empty dorm (宿舍) for the first time two years ago, I was certain of a few things.
Firstly, I realized that I didn"t 1 anybody at the school. Secondly, I knew that I wanted to work hard at
my lessons and 2 something useful. And thirdly, I wanted to have a good time with my new classmates,
without my parents around.
The first realization frightened me in the 3 . But that 4 quickly disappeared. It was the two goals 5
became my real difficulties. I knew that it was 6 to devote enough time to both classes and social efforts
at the same time. But I was determined to 7 my goals. I knew this would be a 8 , but I didn"t realize how
big the challenge was until classes began.
I got on well with the other girls who lived in my dorm. I often chatted with them 9 of finishing my
homework 10 it was due (到期的). I always finished it the next day between classes. I knew 11 wasn"t
good and the grades I 12 showed my lack of effort.
It was pretty 13 that I needed to find some sort of balance. So I made a schedule (时间表), 14 my time
up among going to classes, doing homework and relaxing. It seemed like a good idea, 15 I was only able to
16 to it for a few days. A schedule like that was too much pressure.
So I tried another 17 . Each week I made a list of things I had to get done during that week. Then I made
a list of things I could do 18 I had time.
This is the method I have used 19 then. I"m glad that I"ve learned to balance things and it has helped 20
me for what is come after graduation. | ( )1. A. know
