Dear Sir,
My parents always put so much pressure (压力) on me. In my free time, they only   26   me to go to all kinds of classes. A few days ago, I didn’t get a good   27   in the science exam. My mum got angry and said she “failed (失败) to raise me”. I’m so   28   now. What should I do?
Bob

Dear Bob,
Sometimes parents make   29  , too. Your mother shouldn’t talk to you like that. Maybe your parents grew up in a   30   situation. They saw so many difficulties  in their poor lives. So they want to give you the best. As a result, they try to   31   you hard.
You must be angry about all these,   32   you can’t argue (争吵) with your parents. You should have open 65munication with them. You could say, “Mum, I   33   you and I want to do best, but what you said hurts me and   34   me so nervous. I understand you want    35   to have an easier life than you had, but I also need to have more time to relax and be a child.”
After you tell your parents your ideas, maybe they can understand you.
Mr White

Ⅴ. 阅读理解(共20分，每小题2分)
A
I travelled to Canada one summer with students from my French class. It was my first trip outside the United States. It was exciting because I could finally speak the foreign language I was learning and I could hear native speakers (说母语的人).
Canada is an excellent place to practise French for two reasons.
First, most people in the French-speaking part of Canada can speak both French and English. I can use French when I’m ready. There wouldn’t be much pressure (压力). If I have something very important to 65municate, they can understand me if I speak English. 
Second, people there like it when you try to speak French, although you only speak a little. They hold French in higher esteem (认为……更高贵) than English.
Interestingly enough, although I wanted to 65municate in my newly learnt language, I soon found I could hardly use any of the words I had learnt when I tried to use them. We learnt the accent (口音) used in France, but the accent used in Canada is different from what we learnt. It sounded a little strange to me. And many words are 65pletely different.
Although I didn’t get many chances to practise French in Canada, I’m still thankful for this experience.

B
Baby kangaroos (袋鼠) are called joeys. While grown kangaroos can be as tall as people, newborn joeys are as small as beans and weigh just a gram or two. A newborn joey is hairless and its eyes are closed. As soon as a joey is born, it climbs into its mother’s pouch (育儿袋). It stays there and drinks milk there for months. During this time its eyes open, and it grows hair. Soon it looks less like a bean and more like a small kangaroo.
At about four months old, a joey begins peeking out (微露出) of its mother’s pouch. It stays in the pouch to drink its mother’s milk, but it also starts to learn about the outside world. Sometimes when its mother eats grass, a joey will taste the grass, too.
When a joey is about six months old, it begins to take short trips away from its mother. It learns to jump but quickly returns to its mother’s pouch.
By the time it is eight months old, it is able to leave the pouch and stand on its own. Over the next few months the joey will spend more time out of the pouch. But it will still 65e back sometimes and put its head into the mother’s pouch to have a drink.

46. How much does a newborn joey weigh?
_____________________________________
47. What does a joey do after it is born?

48. When does a joey start to learn about the outside world?
