Most Chinese parents have great expectations of their children. When children are born, their parents have planned everything for them. It is common for parents to want their children to be successful. However, many children in China are unhappy. They live a planned life and are forced to fulfill the dreams.

In my opinion, there are two sides to parents’ expectations. The expectations can encourage children to work harder for a better life. According to some studies, whether a child will be successful or not depends largely on his or her parents’ expectations. However, unrealistic（不切实际的）expectations can be harmful to children. Every child has his or her own thoughts and feelings. Parents’ expectations can take children’s freedom away. Wise parents allow their children to have some freedom. They encourage their children to do things they like to do and never judge them only by their grades.

My parents’ expectations of me are to be happy, kind and healthy. They never put too much pressure on me, and I live a happy life. However, I have my own dreams. I keep working hard, though my parents do not force me to do so. I will never give up because my parents always encourage me when I am in trouble.

In a word, I think parents’ expectations are necessary. However, parents should not give their children too much pressure. Instead, give them enough freedom. Parents must make sure their expectations of their children are realistic so that their children will not lose their self-confidence.

（   ）26. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “fulfill”?

A. 实现  B. 补充  C. 拥有  D. 放弃

（   ）27. According to some studies, whether a child will be successful or not mainly depends on _________.

A. his or her hard work.   B. his or her parents’ expectations

C. his or her thoughts and feelings  D. his or her parents’ family background

（   ）28. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Parents’ expectations are necessary for children.

B. Parents should judge their children only by their grades.

C. Parents’ expectations make children have less freedom.

D. Parents should encourage children to do things they like to do.

（   ）29. What are the author’s parents’ expectations of him?

A. To become a successful person.  B. To get better and better scores.

C. To be happy, kind and healthy.  D. To make his dream come true.

（   ）30. According to the author, parents’ expectations are __________.

A. harmful  B. normal  C. necessary  D. tiring

C

Sally didn’t know what was wrong with her grandma. She was always forgetting things, like where she put the sugar and what time to have dinner.

“She might have Alzheimer’s disease（阿尔茨海默症）,” her mother said. “We might have to put her in a nursing home so that she can get proper care.”

“Oh, that’s terrible! She’ll miss her own house!” Sally said.

“Maybe, but we can see her on weekends,” her mother answered. “We can bring her presents”. “Like ice cream? Grandma loves strawberry ice cream!” Sally said.

The first time they visited Grandma, Sally wanted to cry. Grandma sat all by herself in the corner of the room.

Sally hugged Grandma. “Look,” she said, “we brought you strawberry ice cream!” Grandma took it and began to eat without saying a word.

“She doesn’t seem to know us,” Sally was upset. “You have to give her time,” her mother said. But the next time it was the same. Grandma ate the ice cream, but didn’t say anything.

“Grandma, do you know who I am?” Sally asked.

“You’re the girl who brings me the ice cream,” Grandma said.

“Yes, but I’m Sally, your granddaughter. Don’t you remember me?”

“Sure. You’re the girl who brings me ice cream.” All of a sudden, Sally realized that Grandma would never remember her.

“Oh, how I love you, Grandma!” she said. Just then she saw a tear roll down Grandma’s cheek. “Love,” she said. “I remember love.”

“You see, dear, that’s all she wants,” her mother said. “Love.”

“I’ll bring her ice cream every weekend then, and hug her even if she doesn’t remember me,” Sally said.

After all, remembering love is more important than just being able to remember a name.

To deal with this problem, Douyin added a new function. If someone uses the app for 90 minutes nonstop, a reminder will pop up（突然出现）.40. ___________.

My Hometown

In the middle of Zhejiang lies the peaceful city of Zhuji. The air here is always moist. People here lives a slow life.

My hometown is not only known as the hometown of Xishi, one of the Four Beauties of ancient China, but is also famous for Wuxie Waterfalls. It has attracted many tourists.

In the past few years, Zhuji has become different from what it used to be like. We can see changes in the environment, traffic and entertainment facilities. Tall buildings have sprung up. More shopping malls have been built. However, one thing didn’t change. My family still lives here. My heart belongs here forever.
