There are many ways we can deal with it, but some are more useful than others:One thing we must remember is that no Mom or Dad is an island unto themselves. Parenting is about social connections and learning, and it means other parents will give us more experience we use to teach our kids.Parenting may become very difficult if you come across problems you may have had when you were a little kid. We must do better than what we experienced when we were young. We should also make sure it never happens to our kids. Kids may have difficulties in studying or making friends. We must be there when they need advice and help.Kids may cry for a number of reasons and you should allow them to show their feelings. It is a very common thing. Even for boys, they should not be forced to hide their true feelings. Tears contain the hormones (荷尔蒙) of stress. They leave the body when we are crying. We must provide kids with proper emotional support (恰当的感情支持) so they can heal their pain.（1）What can we know from the underlined sentence? A . Mom and Dad are not lonely.B .

Researchers have found out some interesting facts.Perhaps unsurprisingly, we prefer to sit closer to people like ourselves. Girls sit by girls and boys sit by boys. Adults sit together and young people choose another young person to sit near. But it goes further than this. We even choose to sit near someone who looks like us. People with glasses are more likely to sit near other people with glasses. People with long hair sit closer to other people with long hair.We seem to believe that people with similar habits or hobbies will share similar attitude and we are more likely to be accepted by people like ourselves or even, we think we may be safer with people who look like us. Sometimes thats true but its a pity if we always stick to the same people, the same group. The danger in always staying in our comfort zone (舒适区)is that we just recycle the same opinions, the same tastes and the same ideas. We lose the chance to learn something new, find out about interesting things, hear funny stories and discover difference.When we always stick to the same people, how can we ever break down the barriers which prevent us from getting to know people with different ideas? And how can we avoid the ignorance (无知),which too often leads to prejudice (偏见) and even fear? If instead you want to live in a society that opens to changes and new things and different opinions, be the cat among the pigeons.Move out of your comfort zone. Go and sit next to someone different. And dont just sit there in silence. Say hello. Ask a question. Start a conversation. Thats how we make friends. Thats how we learn about people. Thats how we open our minds to new ideas. Thats how we live an exciting life.（1）From the passage, we know that people prefer sitting by someone who A . is like themselvesB . has a sense of humorC . is open-mindedD . lives an exciting life（2）People like staying in their comfort zone because they may A . remain comfortable and specialB . be accepted easily and feel safeC . find out more interesting thingsD . discover differences among themselves（3）The underlined word barriers” in Paragraph 4 means .

Because we can enjoy an interesting and different ideas.C . Because we can say hello and ask them questions.D . Because we want to live in a society full of humour.（5）What is the title of this passage? A . Just to be ourselvesB . Learn more about the foreign countriesC . Live an exciting lifeD . Jump out of the comfort zone3. （10分） Fire can help people in many ways. But can also be very harmful. Fire can heat water warm your houses, give light, and cook food. But fire can burn things too. It can burn trees, houses, animals, or people. Sometimes big fires can burn forests.Nobody knows for sure how people began to use fire. But there are many interesting, old stories about the first time a man or woman started a fire. One story from Australia tells about a man very, very long time ago. He went up to the sun by a rope and brought fire down.Today people know how to make a fire with matches. Children sometimes like to play with them. But matches can be very dangerous.
