So she asked Jenny, her elder sister in England, for help. And Jenny wrote back:Dear Mirenda, Love is one of the most beautiful things in life, but it's not the only one. I can feel the strong love between you and Michael. I also understand making friends is very important to you, but remember that studying hard is more important, too. Mom and Dad don't want you to make friends with boys. Perhaps they are afraid that you will become so interested in them that you can't do well in your study. Show them you know when to study and when to play. If they see that their little girl has grown up and doesn't need to be worried about, they will let you do what you like to do.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Love,　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Jenny

仔细阅读下列短文, 根据题目, 选出最佳选项. It is reported that many middle school students are just not getting enough sleep, especially during the school week. The problem seems to get worse as they get older. Year 7 students sleep 8.4 hours in a school night, and Year 9 students only 6.9 hours. It's also reported that not getting enough sleep can cause problems in a student's life. Many students fall asleep in school or while doing their homework, so it is not surprising that they get lower grades than those who get enough sleep. Scientists suggest nine hours a night for middle school students. Of the students who feel unhappy and nervous, 73％ don't get enough sleep at night. Why aren't students getting enough sleep Many students have one of the following things, like telephone, television, or computer in their bedrooms. Using them on a school night not only takes their time away from homework, but also makes it difficult for them to fall asleep. As a result, many students can't fall asleep before 11 p. m. , yet they must get up early to go to school. Scientists also suggest students should not do exciting activities for an hour before bedtime.

仔细阅读下列短文, 根据题目, 选出最佳选项. In America, when people say "man's best friend", they don't mean another person. Instead, they are talking about a lovely animal: a dog! These words show the friendship between people and animals. Dogs and other pets(宠物) can give joy(欢乐) to people's lives. Some people take their pets as their children. A few even leave all their money to their pets when they die! Animals can help people, too. Dogs can be taught to become the "eyes" for a blind(盲) person or "ears" for a deaf(聋) person. Scientists(科学家) have found that pets help people live longer. They make people happier, too. Because of that, animals are brought into hospitals for "visits". Americans hold "Be Kind to Animals Week" in the first week of May. Pet shows are held during the week. Even if you don't live in America, you, too, can do this. How First, think about how animals make your life richer. If you have a pet, take more time this week to play with it. Remember to give it delicious food. Also, be sure to keep your pet from those unwanted babies. If you don't have a pet, be kind to animals around you. For example, if you see a street dog, don't kick it or throw things at it. Instead, just leave it alone, or better yet, make friends with it. If others around you do bad things to an animal, try to speak up. As people, we must protect(保护) animals who can't speak for themselves.

Here are the kinds of things people say when they invite someone to their home: "Would you like to come over for dinner Saturday night " "Hey, we're having a party on Friday. Can you come " To reply to an invitation, either say thank you and accept, or say you're sorry and give an excuse: "Thanks, I'd love to. What time would you like me to come " or "Oh, sorry. I've tickets for a movie. " Sometimes, however, people use expressions that sound like invitations but which are not real invitations. For example: "Please come over for a drink sometime. " "Why not get together for a party sometime " "Why don't you come over and see us sometime soon " They are really just polite ways of ending a conversation. They are not real invitations because they don't mention a specific(确定的) time or date. They just show that the person is trying to be friendly. To reply to expressions like these, people just say "Sure, that would be great!" or "OK. Yes, thanks. " So next time when you hear what sounds like an invitation, listen carefully. Is it a real invitation or is the person just being friendly

I know you want me to find a good job when I grow up, but I would like to have a wonderful time, too. You never think about fun things for me to do like music, sports. Two days ago, when I was watching a football game on TV, you asked me to stop and do my homework. After finishing my homework, still I wasn't allowed to read my football magazines. You said I had to go to bed early. That was bad enough, but yesterday was the worst day. I bought some computer games, and put them in my bag so that you wouldn't see them. I told you I had to do my homework first. I know it was wrong to lie(说谎) to you, but you told me that Dad would talk to me later. Mum, I didn't quite like what you did to me! I really love you, mum, but I wish you could try not to be so hard on me.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Love,　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Zhang Ning
