24、Friends are important to the children. Research shows that children who have no friends can suffer from difficulties later in life. Friendship provides children with more than just fun. In making friends, children learn how to get in touch with the others and solve problems. Having friends even does good to children’s study for they can help each other during the class.

If the parents care about their children whether they made many friends, the important thing is that the child is comfortable and happy with his friends. Parents need to understand the steps children take in building friendships. First of all, be a friend to your child. Good friendships start at home. Children begin to develop the necessary ability to go out and meet others through getting with their parents. Greet the child warmly and let him know you are glad to see him. Children learn a lot from how their parents stay with them and other people.

Teach children how to solve conflicts(争端). Being able to work out conflicts is an important skill in getting along with others. If parents know the children have a conflict, let them work it out on their own. Only step in if it is really necessary, for example, a conflict is getting physical.

Give children chances to practice staying together. Have children play games that require team work and group problem solving skills. For example, races are fun and provide plenty of practice in teamwork. “In what ways didn’t you work well together? What might you do differently next time?” For these ideas, see books such as Games Book by Terry Orlick, Energizers by Carol Apacki, and Team-Building Activities for Every Group by Alanna Jones.

25、Six hours of walking in space! On August 20, Chinese astronauts(宇航员) Liu Boming and Nie Haisheng did the second spacewalk of the Shenzhou XII mission (任务). They set up equipment (设备) and lifted a camera outside the Tiangong space station.

Spacewalks can be dangerous. There is no air in space, of course. And it’s filled with harmful radiation (辐射). But the spacesuits, although they are bulky (肿的), can protect astronaut.

A spacesuit is like a small space station. It has everything astronauts need when they carry out a spacewalk. For example, China’s Feitian spacesuits have six layers (层). The innermost (最里面的) layer collects astronauts’ urine (尿). Then there are four layers that help control the temperature and air pressure inside the suit. Spacesuits are filled with air, so they look like they’re puffed up. The sixth layer is made of special fibers (纤维) that protect astronauts from radiation.

Astronauts are connected to the space station with safety ropes. The suit has headphones and speakers for astronauts to communicate. There is a mirror on the wrist (手腕). Astronauts can check their suits by looking at it.

Each suit costs around 30 million yuan and it takes four months to make just one! The first Feitian suit was made in 2008. Zhai Zhigang wore it to carry out China’s first spacewalk for about 19 minutes. The suits Chinese astronauts wear today are the second generation (代) of Feitian. It can support walks as long as eight hours and can be used more often. The first generation could only be used five times within two years, while the second generation can be used 15 times within three years.

B．explain the challenges of making spacesuits

C．list several famous spacewalks

D．show how the Feitian spacesuit has developed

26、If you're ever apart from your children， a new study says just talking on the phone will help just as much as a hug (拥抱).

If you're a parent who spends long hours on the job， you probably feel sorry for spending so much time away from your kids. But the results of a new study show that a mother's voice alone can be just as comforting to an anxious child as physical contact (接触).

In an experiment， researchers from the University of Wisconsin Madison asked a group of girls between the ages of 7 and 12 to solve math problems in front of judges — a stressful situation for anyone. Before the girls were set to give their answers， the researchers measured their levels of two hormones(荷尔蒙)：cortisol，which goes up during stressful periods， and oxytocin， the “love” hormone， which goes down at the same time.

After the girls finished the problems， some of them got to meet up with their mothers right away. The moms came in and hugged the girls. Another group of the girls didn't see their mothers， but received phone calls from them， in which their mothers told them how well they'd done. The final group had no contact with their mothers， but instead watched an animal movie， March of the Penguins.

Finally， the girls' hormone levels were measured again. Although the movie was interesting， it did nothing to reduce the children's anxiety—but， surprisingly， both the physical contact and phone calls from their mothers had the same effect on reducing the girls' stress levels.

 So， no matter how old you are， if you're feeling stressed about something in your life， a phone call to Mom might be just the key to help you feel better.

【1】If a girl is under stress， _______.

A. she can’t solve math problems

B. she will have high levels of hormone

a. The girls' levels of hormones were measured again.

b. The girls solved math problems.

c. The girls' levels of hormones were measured.

d. The girls were divided into three groups.

A. b-c-d-a   B. d-b-c-a   C. c-b-d-a D. d-c-b-a

【3】From the passage， we can infer that _______.

A. it is easy for girls to solve math problems

B. the girls who had watched the movie remained anxious

C. mothers should hug their kids as often as possible

D. older girls have higher cortisol than younger ones

【4】What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. A mother’s voice can comfort her anxious kids.

B. Mothers should often hug their kids.

C. Mothers should spend enough time caring about their kids.

D. Scientists discovered why kids become stressed when having tests.

27、Communicating with Our Hands

        We use our hands to communicate in many ways. The thumbs up sign shows agreement. A wave of the hand can be a gesture to mean hello. Many people make an “O” with their thumb and second finger to show that everything is OK.

        While riding a bike, people use hand signals (信号) to communicate that they are going to turn left, or stop. Policemen wave traffic on or hold their hands up to direct drivers to stop. In classrooms, children often put up their hands for permission (许可), people clap their hands to show appreciation (赞赏) for a performance.

        Some people use sign language (a system of hand gestures, facial expressions and body language) as their primary form of communication. Deaf people communicate through a system of sign language. Like different verbal (口头的) languages are spoken around the world (促进) communication and education of deaf people.

        It has become common for parents to teach signs to little children. Babies can actually imitate (模仿) and use signs before they can speak clearly. This helps parents get to know what a child is in need of before the child is able to communicate his or her needs verbally (口头地).

        Just as people study more spoken languages, an increasing number of people are choosing to study sign language in their free time. Each year, thousands of people learn sign language so they can more easily communicate with deaf people. Many companies are looking for workers with the ability to communicate through sign language. Many people learn sign language simply because they find it interesting and enjoy the challenge of learning a new skill. Sign language is growing in usage every day.

28、根据括号内所给汉语意思，写出空白处各单词的正确形式，每空一词。

Knowing more about the culture of English-speaking countries is a good way to learn English. Thus, English learners should not only pay   【1】 (关注) to the language itself, but also focus on the culture behind it. To start with, we ourselves can study western culture by   【2】  (庆祝) western festivals. For example, Halloween is a really fun one. Learners can   【3】(联系)  doing  traditional activities with learning new English words and   【4】 (表达方式), such as lanterns of pumpkins, ghosts, spiders, haunted houses, and “trick or  【5】(款待)”. Beside, when we visit an English-speaking country, we must behave   【6】(礼貌地). For example, when you communicate with women or ladies, do not talk about the age of them. Because it’s a  【7】 (秘密) from unknown strangers even close friend. So  【8】(警告) yourself not to ask questions like “How old are you?” and “Do you need my help, old gentleman?” Also, some westerners like Englishmen do care about manners(礼仪). Instead of asking  【9】(直接的) questions, please memorize some sentence patterns such as “Could you please…?”, “I’m sorry to trouble you.” and so on. If you express yourself like that, they will consider you as a good   【10】(讲话的人), i.e. a gentleman or a lady.
