Understanding
    Young people are often troubled when they are talking with their parents. They say that their parents don’t understand them. They often think that their parents don’t like modern  ways; that they are too serious and too strict with their children; and that they don’t often give their children a free hand.
    It is true that parents often find it difficult to win their children’s trust and they have forgotten how they themselves felt when they were young.
    For example, young people like to do things without much thinking. It’s one of their ways to show that they have grown up and they can face any difficulty. Older people worry more easily. Most of them think more before they do things, and they don’t like their plans to be upset.
    Young people often make their parents angry with their choices in clothes, in entertainment and in music. This doesn’t mean that they will cause any trouble. They want to make a new culture of their own. Young people are unhappy when their parents don’t like the music or entertainment or clothes or their way of speech.
    If you want to control your life, you’d better win your parents over and try to get them to understand you. If your parents see that you have a high sense of responsibility, they will certainly give you the right to do what you want to do. They are also very happy when you have done well.
(    ) 31. Young people feel troubled when they are with their parents because_________.
A. their parents don’t like them
B. their parents don’t give them enough money

D. their parents don’t understand them
(    ) 32. Which of the following is true?
A. Parents felt the same as young people when they were young
B. Parents can win their children’s trust easily
C. Young people often make their parents happy with their clothes and music
D. Young people don’t want their parents to understand them
(    ) 33. The difference between young people and their parents is that_________.
A. parents don’t enjoy modern living ways
B. they can’t agree with each other in many things
C. they don’t have the same feeling in many things
D. they often do things in different ways
(    ) 34. Young people do things without much thinking because_________.

    “If you want to see a thing well, reach out and touch it!”
    That may seem a strange thing to say. But touching things can help you to see them better. Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth and cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass is. When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it.
    With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too. You can even feel sounds against your skin. Have you ever wanted to know why some people like very loud music? They must like to feel the sounds of music.
    All children soon learn what “Don’t touch!” means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we touch things we might buy ：food, clothes. To see something well, we have to touch it.
    The bottoms of our feet can feel things, too. You know this when you walk on warm sand, cool grass or a hard floor. All feel different under your feet.
    There are ways of learning to see well by feeling. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on our skin. At first, it is not easy to feel these things. You are too used to them!
    Most museums are just for looking. But today some museums have some things for visitors to touch. Their signs say, “Do touch!” There you can feel everything on show.
    If you want to see better, reach out and touch. Then you will really see!
(    ) 36. By touching things_________.
A. you will have a strange feeling                   B. you will learn how to reach out your hand
C. you can tell the differences of the things           D. you can tell what colors they are
(    ) 37. Which of the following can be the best title of the story?
A. Touching By Feeling                  B. To See or to Feel  C. To See Better—Feel                   D. Ways of Feeling
(    ) 38. When people buy things in shops, they often __________.
A. try them on first                 B. feel and touch them      C. ask about them                       D. keep off their hands on them
(    ) 39. It is not easy to feel these things because __________.
A. these things are not strange to us         B. people feel the things too much
C. people know how to use the things       D. the things are used by people
(    ) 40. Which of the following is true?
A. Touching is more important than seeing.                 B. Our feet, fingers, hands and skin can help us enjoy music.
C. People have to learn to see by feeling as they grow up.    D. Visitors can feel the things on show in some museums.

    Most great inventors often met with much trouble in their work. Before they could succeed, they had to overcome thousands of difficulties which Were put in their way. The following is one of such examples.
    George Stephenson(1781—1848), a famous British inventor, made the first train in 1825, using a steam engine. When he was experimenting with the engine on the train, he met with troubles from the government in the country. They said the noise and the smoke would kill cows, horses and sheep, that the engine would burst or that the hot coals from it would set fire to their houses. People believed what they said.
    George Stephenson told the people that the train could go on small rails, could pull carriages full of goods and passengers and that there was no great harm to them. It was a very difficult matter for him to make them believe. However, after some time, he was able to do it, and the first train that was driven by George Stephenson himself proved what he had said. On the train, there was a new steam engine. It was invented by him and was proved a complete success.
    The first day when the train was on the rails, people along the way heard the noise of the train far-away, and saw it running quickly to them. They thought it was a genie. They ran quickly home for fear and closed their doors tightly. They did not dare to come out until it had passed. A week later an old woman still said that her hen had been so frightened that it hadn’t laid any eggs for three days.

    When I was at the age of thirteen, I began to keep a diary in English. At first it seemed difficult to me,but now it has begun to be easy. I know it’s not possible to learn English well without more praetice. I like reading, listening and speaking. After school I often go to the school library to read English stories. My English teacher always helps me put some passages into English.
    I have little time to watch TV. After I finish writing my diary, I always try to correct mistakes with the help of the dictionary. I think that keeping diary is one of the best ways to improve Our English study.
