Mom Knows Best ! When I was a tiny baby crying all night, my mom sang to me and stayed by my side. When I was tired and hungry, she gave me food and warm arms to sleep in. When I was two running through the field, she made sure I was safe and kept me from danger. When I fell and hurt myself, she gave me a hug and lifted me up. When I was seven coughing badly, she said no ice-cream for me,But I talked back loudly,“I should be allowed to eat some! Give it to me now!” When I was nine watching scary movies,she said itd give me awful dreams. But I shouted back angrily,“I should be allowed to watch it! Im not a baby!” When I was a teen going out with friends,she said,“Please be back by ten!” But I talked back again-“I should not be told what to do! Im seventeen now!”,Now Im an adult, thinking back to those times. I coughed for days after eating that ice-cream And had scary dreams after watching that film. I was late for school from staying out past ten. I regret talking back,not listening to Mom. Mom knows best,and for me she wanted only the best!,1呆在某人身边 2 穿越田野 3 确保 4 让某人远离。 5 伤到自己 6 给某人一个拥抱 7 举起某人 8 咳嗽地厉害 9 大声地顶嘴 10 生气地反驳 11 回想起 12 后悔做某事,1 stay by ones side 2 run through the field 3 make sure 4 keep sb (away) from 5 hurt oneself 6 give sb a hug 7 lift sb up 8 cough badly 9 talk back loudly (to sb) 10 shout back angrily 11 think back to 12 regret doing sth,P51 3a 1 确保 2让某人远离。 3 伤到自己 4举起某人 5 咳嗽地厉害 6 大声地顶嘴 7 生气地反驳 8 回想起 9后悔做某事,1 make sure 2keep sb (away) from 3 hurt oneself 4 lift sb up 5 cough badly 6 talk back loudly (to sb) 7 shout back angrily 8 think back to 9 regret doing sth,p54 Should I Be Allowed to Make My Own Decisions? Many teenagers have hobbies.But sometimes these can get in the way of their schoolwork, and parents might worry about their success at school.Teenagers often think they should be allowed to pratice their hobbies as much as they want. Do you agree?,Liu Yu, a fifteen-year-old boy from Shandong, is a running star. He is on his school team and has always wanted to be a professional runner when he grows up.However, his parents wont allow him to train so much.“Of course we want to see him achieve his dreams,”saysMr.Liu.“And we know how much he loves running. My wife and I supported every one of his races.We have nothing against running! But we think our son needs to think about other possible jobs. Hes getting older now,so he needs to think about other possible jobs.Hes getting older now, so he needs to think about what will happen if he doesnt end up as a professional runner.”,Liu Yu doesnt really agree.“Well,I think I should be allowed to decide for myself,”he says.“My parents have always taught me how important it is to work hard at school and enter university. I understand this, but Im serious about running. Its the only thing Ive ever wanted do.”His parents believe that Liu Yu should study hard in the evenings so they dont allow him to practice running at night.“Maybe he thinks its too strict or unfair,”says Mrs.Liu.“But we think were doing the right thing. He needs to spend more time on his homework because it is difficult to become a professional sports star.”,But Liu Yu still disagrees.“I know my parents care about me.They always talk about what will happen if I dont succeed. But I will!Im a quick runner!I think I should be allowed to make this choice myself.Only then will I have a chance to achieve my dream.”,1阻碍 2 担心 3 尽可能 4 跑步明星 5 职业跑步者 6 不反对做某事 7 以。结束 8 为自己做决定 9 认真做某事 10 在。花费 11 关心 12 做出选择,1 get in the way of 2 worry about 3 asas sb can 4 a running star 5 a professional runner 6 have nothing against doing 7 end up 8 decide for oneself 9 be serious about doing 10 spend on 11 care about 12 make choice,巨石阵,由巨大的石头组成，每块约重50吨。它的主轴线、通往石柱的古道和夏至日早晨初升的太阳，在同一条线上；另外，其中还有两块石头的连线指向冬至日落的方向。公元前4000-公元前2000年建造。是欧洲著名的史前时代文化神庙遗址，位于英格兰威尔特郡索尔兹伯里平原，约建于公元前40002000年（2008年3月至4月，英国考古学家研究发现，巨石阵的准确建造年代距今已经有4300年，即建于公元前2300年左右）。 2013年8月，考古学家研究显示史前巨石阵挖掘发现至少63具人类尸骨，推测最初这里曾是一个墓地，大约100年之后才开始建造巨石阵。,P62 Stonehenge-Can Anyone Explain Why It Is There ?
