5、f the traditional 40 minutes. On this particular day, I was being observed by two college professors.

12、their teachers. 3 . Living and dealing with kids can be a tough job these days, but living and dealing with parents can be even tougher.If I have learned anything in my 16 years, it is that communication is very important, both when you disagree and when you get along. With any relationship, you nee

13、d to let other person know how you are feeling. If you are not able to communicate, you drift apart（）疏远）. When you are mad at your parents, or anyone else, not talking to them doesnt solve anything. Communication begins with the concerns of another. It means that you cant just come home from school,

14、 go up to your room and ignore everyone. Even if you just say “Hi”, and see how their day was for five minutes, it is better than nothing. If you looked up the word “communication” in a dictionary, it would say “the exchange of ideas, the conveyance（表达）of information, correspondence （通信）, means of c

15、ommunication: a letter or a message”. To maintain （保持） a good relationship, you must keep communication strong. Let people know how you feel, even if its just by writing a note. When dealing with parents, you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as a parent. If you are trying

16、to make them see something as you see it, tell them that youll listen to what they have to say, but ask them politely to listen to you. Yelling or walking away only makes the situation worse. This is an example: one night, Sophie went to a street party with her friends. She knew she had to be home b

17、y midnight after the fireworks, but she didnt feel she could just ask to go home. That would be rude. After all, they had been nice enough to take her along with them. Needless to say, she was late getting home. Her parents were mad at first, but when Sophie explained why she was late, they werent a

18、s mad and let the incident go. Communication is the key factor here. If Sophies parents had not been willing to listen, Sophie would have been in a lot of trouble. Communication isnt a one-way deal: it goes both ways. Just remember: if you get into a situation like Sophies, telling the other person

19、how you feel and listening is the key factor to communication.【小题1】In the writers view, dealing with parents is _ than with children.

22、 inferno（火海） in the latest big fire. A nearby town, Paradise, was reduced to ash. Nearly 50 people are confirmed dead and over 200 missing. Six of the ten most destructive fires in Californias history have occurred in the past decade. Last year was the most destructive year on record, until this yea

23、r. Why is the Golden State so flammable? 2.There are three reasons why California has been surrounded by flames. First, the climate is becoming warmer. This has led to snow melting earlier, drier landscapes and a longer season when fires are likely to occur. 3.A second reason is that more people liv

24、e in flammable places. Since the 1990s 60% of new homes in California, Washington and Oregon have been built in spaces next to nature. These areas, which environmentalists call the wildland-urban interface, are at higher risk of wildfire. 4.A third reason is that there is more fuel. Before western s

25、ettlers arrived, fires used to happen often and naturally, which made less fuel available for future fires. For the past century fires have been controlled well. This has led to a build-up of dry brush, and makes the average wildfire much likelier to turn into a big one. 5.Putting out the flame is t

26、he most immediate task for California, but not the last. Many survivors will want to rebuild their homes exactly where they were. Californians will also want to ensure that utility companies（公用事业公司） are acting and investing responsibly. Investigations into what caused the fire are still going on, bu

27、t some reports suggest it may have begun with sparks （火花） from lines owned by an electricity company.【小题1】What may directly cause the big fire in California?AThe warm climate.BLiving too close to nature.CToo much fuel.DSparks from electric wire【小题2】What does the underlined sentences in Paragraph 1 suggest?AThe fires in California are all very destructive.BThe latest big fire in Cal
