Growth is painful. It’s like clearing out your drawers by pulling out every little thing inside of you, examining it, and deciding whether to throw it out or not. It can be scary. Therefore, if you have the following feelings, that’s the beginning of growing.

Uncertainty

During t he process of growth, you should feel uncertain. 1.. Let it run its course and enjoy the aimlessness as much as you can.

Self-doubt

2.. Everything you’ve come to know about yourself and your life is now being examined. If you’re not feeling self-doubt, you’re not going deep enough. Keep digging. The moment that you feel self-doubt is the dark night before the dawn.

Insecurity(不安全感 )

Many people believe that insecurity is shameful. However, it means that you are moving from one stage to the next. You are stepping into a completely unknown part of yourself. 3..

Fear

Do you know why you’ve been kept away from your chances to grow? 4.. Keep moving forward and pushing beyond it.

Anxiety

Where there is insecurity, fear, and uncertainty, there is surely anxiety. Anxiety is part of growth. You have very little control over what happens to you. However. you can control how you react to it. You can choose to stick your head in the sand and stay the same, or you can grow and be free.5..

A. The choice is yours

B. You don’t know where to go yet

C. Be grateful for these scary feelings

D. You’re growing into a whole new stage

E. That’s the fear that has kept you from moving on

F. Of course you will feel doubtful about what you’re doing

G. It’s only natural that you wouldn’t feel wholly sure of yourself

For many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner. Like a border conflict（冲突）between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?

Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part，this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it. From the parents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’ （青少年）complete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely. Both feel trapped.

In this article, I’ll describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no-win situation is quarrel on unimportant things. Examples include the color of the teen’s hair, the cleanness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the child’s failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends. Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right. It doesn’t matter what the topic is—politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg—the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong，for both wish to be considered an authority—someone who actually knows something—and therefore to command respect. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, they’ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.

1.Why does the author compare the parent teen war to a border conflict?

A. Both can continue for generations.

B. Both are about where to draw the line.

C. Neither has any clear winner.

D. Neither can be put to an end.

2.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.

B. The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict.

C. The teens accuse their parents of misleading them.

D. The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents.

3.Parents and teens want to be right because they want to__________.

A. give orders to the other          B. know more than the other

C. gain respect from the other       D. get the other to behave properly

4.What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?

A. Causes for the parent-teen conflicts

B. Examples of the parent-teen war

C. Solutions for the parent-teen problems

D. Future of the parent-teen relationship

We’re surrounded by chemistry in everyday life. Sometimes it is easy to see, like when your science teacher does a big experiment in class. At other times, it can be pretty hard to see everyday chemistry at work, but nearly everything you touch or use has some element of chemistry in it.

Something as simple as toothpaste contains at least three chemicals, if not more. It is the mixture of them and its chemical reaction that keeps your teeth clean. Other things you use every day are created by chemistry, such as hair products, shampoo and soap. Adding detergent (洗涤剂) to water involves chemistry. Without chemistry, we would never have known that we need soap to get the oil out of clothes or skin. Chemistry not only helps us make products for use, but it also helps us understand the world around us. Chemistry helps us understand what the ozone layer (臭氧层) is and how it protects us. Chemistry also gives us sunscreen to protect us from the sun. Thanks to chemistry, we know bleach (漂白剂) can’t be mixed with vinegar(醋), because it can produce poisonous gas.Without chemistry, we wouldn’t have fireworks displays on important days.

Chemistry plays a big role in food preparation. Cooking food causes it to go through a chemical change. That is why cooked food often tastes different from raw food. Baking is a great example of chemistry. Too much or too little of any ingredient（成分，尤指烹饪） makes a difference to the result of baking, for example, the dough (面团) won’t rise or the cake will be flat.

Chemistry isn’t something that just lives in a lab; it’s something that you meet hundreds of times every day. Knowing how chemistry works will give you a greater understanding of the science behind some of the simplest-looking things.

1.What’s the main idea of Paragraph 1?

A．Chemistry is easy to see around us.

B．Sometimes chemistry is hard to see around us.

C．How a science teacher does a big experiment.

D．Few things in everyday life contain chemistry.

2.The following actions are about chemistry EXCEPT _____.

A．cleaning teeth with toothpaste

B．washing hair with hair products

C．using soap to get the oil out of clothes

D．washing your face with water

3.The underlined word “poisonous” in Paragraph 3 means _____.

A．harmful           B．healthy           C．fresh             D．pleasant

4.Which one is TRUE according to Paragraph 4?

A．One can’t find chemistry when cooking food.

B．Chemistry plays an important part in food mak-ing.

C．That dough rises is nothing to do with chemistry.

D．A flat cake is the result of too many ingredients.

5.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

A．Chemistry Around the House

C．Chemistry for Dinner

D．Chemistry in everyday life
