         Dear Dr Jackson, 
              My parents are never happy with me. They are always criticizing (批评) my clothes, my hair and
    the music I listen to. They hate my friends'looks and they keep complaining when I go with them. I'm
    not allowed to stay out as late as my friends do, so I can't have any fun. My parents only seem to care
    about my school marks. Although I love them, sometimes I feel we live in different worlds. If they love
    me, can't they understand me? How can I make them understand me?
    Angel 
         Dear Angel,
             Your problem is common (共同的) to both teenagers and parents. Don't worry, because all this is
    natural. You see, your parents have grown up at different times and they have different experiences (经历).
    So they think some things are strange, but you find the same things ordinary. For example, the music you
    like may sound like noise to them. Your parents love you, so they feel they must protect you from anything
    bad or strange. On the other hand, you don't want to be different from other teenagers, so you feel that
    your parents restrict you.
             I think you should talk about this problem with your parents. Try to explain to them what you want
    and let them know they can believe you. Sooner or later, they'll find you are a responsible (有责任心的)
    person and they will give you more freedom (自由).
    1. Why does Angel write to Dr. Jackson?

    [     ]

    A. Because her parents make her happy.
    B. Because her parents can't understand her.
    C. Because her friends don't like her parents.
    D. Because her parents don't think she is good at school.
    2. Angel has            than her friends.

    A. more fun
    B. less freedom
    C. more freedom
    D. less clothes
    3. What advice does Dr. Jackson give to Angel?

    [     ]

    A. Be different from the other teenagers.
    B. Don't tell her parents what she wants to do.
    C. Take no notice of her parents and do whatever she likes.
    D. Discuss her problem with her parents.

  • 书面表达。
           假如你是九年级学生John,最近遇到困扰,写信向朋友Amy倾诉,想听听她的建议,词数80左右。     
           内容要点如下:
           1.最近有困扰,不知如何处理。
           2.每天作业很多,除了做以外别无选择,经常熬夜完成,第二天很疲劳。
           3.通常接受如此多作业,但有时也拒绝做。几乎没时间给业余爱好,心情很糟,怀疑值不值得
                用功。
