(A)

After saying goodbye to Captain Black-eye Jack and One-legged Rosie, Jessica decided it would be a good idea to paint some pictures to help her remember them.
While the paintings dried, Jessica noticed a long line of trucks driving into the park and stopped in a large

playing field. “Vanessa Feather’s Famous Flying Circus,” Jessica read out.

“If we joined the circus, we would be able to travel around and have adventures,” with the thought, Jessica marched up to the two children, a boy and a girl who were practising.
“Hello,” she said. “My name’s Jessica and this is Zebedee. We thought your act was fantastic and we’d like to join your circus to be acrobats.”
“Hi, I’m Shula,” said the girl. “Mum’s the ringmaster. You’ll have to talk to her if you want to join us.” “Well,” Vanessa said after listening to Jessica, “we’d be happy to teach you to be an acrobat if you seem good
at it. Why don’t you have a go on the swing now?”

Jessica reached the top of the pole, took hold of the swing, sat down and pushed off. However, she was so afraid that she was stuck.
Vanessa helped her down kindly. “I’m so sorry,” said Jessica, when she had stopped shaking.

“Now, don’t worry, you never know if you can do something until you try,” said Vanessa. “Stay with us for a while. There are plenty of things to do on the ground.”
During her stay with the circus, Jessica painted pictures of her new friends.

When it was time for the circus to leave, Jessica and Zebedee felt very sad. They watched the truck disappear.

As it was raining, Jessica decided to go into the shopping mall. They sat down on a bench, and Jessica took out her paintings to remind them of the friends they had made.
“Zebedee, how are we going to make our way in the world?” As they sat lost in thought, a crowd came around the pictures.
“I’ll have that one, dearie,” a voice said. “The one of the man with the patch. He reminds me of my brother Jake. How much?”
“Oh it isn’t for…” began Jessica, and then she noticed the crowd. Suddenly she had a wonderful idea. “£10,” she said loudly.
“I’ll take it,” said the woman.

It seemed everyone wanted a picture. Lots of children had been to the circus and wanted a picture of their favourite act. An old lady took two portraits of Zebedee. A young man wanted the portraits of One-legged Rosie.
Soon Jessica had no pictures left, but she did have quite a lot of money.

“Look at this,” she cried. “We can make our way in the world and have adventures after all.”

Conflict (冲突) happens when two people disagree because of their own goals, values, or beliefs. It’s not always as simple as an argument. Instead, conflict is what happens right before the argument; it’s what the two people disagree about before they start calling each other names.
What may cause conflict?

Parents and teenagers have many chances to experience conflict with one another. Teenage years are a time when independence and parental influence fight, since teens are able to think on their own but still live with parents who have rules and expectations for them. Teenagers don’t necessarily hold the same beliefs and values as their parents, and their goal to have fun often conflicts with their parents’ goal to keep them safe.
If kids don’t come back home at the time when they’re supposed to, their parents will get worried. A worried parent becomes a scolding (责骂的) parent. The conflict happens.
Sometimes, teens want to have noisy fun while their parents want to sleep. This is a common conflict that

happens every day. Also, parents and teenagers usually prefer different types of music. So when parents don’t like

the music the kids are listening to, they are more likely to tell them to turn it down. Then conflict begins.

This may not be totally true. However, one thing is for sure: parents might use the teenager’s exam results to judge (判断) him/her. Every time the parents’ expectations aren’t met, they will scold their kids. And the conflict happens.
How to deal with conflict?

See each other as friends in the common goals you agree on. Such goals usually include keeping teens safe and seeing them make success. Pay attention to these goals to avoid getting unsatisfied with each other.
List possible solutions to the conflict together. You can try listing creative ideas, whether they seem reasonable or not. Creativity is your friend when you’re solving any problem in life, including conflict with others.
30. What does the underlined phrase “calling each other names” mean?

A Singing loudly to each other. B. Speaking angrily to each other.

C. Making a call to someone. D. Making someone feel at home.

31. Why do teenagers and parents get into conflict?

A. They have different beliefs and values. B. They live independent lives separately.

C. They hold common views on teenage years. D. They don’t show much patience to each other.

32 How can a teenager solve conflict with parents?

A. By writing down creative ideas with parents. B. By writing an article about different opinions.

C. By spending more time talking with parents. D. By making parents change their opinions.

33. In which section of the magazine Family would you probably read this article?

A. Activities. B. Rules. C. Relationship. D. Possessions.

How to be a HEALTHY COOK
As more research warns the danger of overcooking, an expert tells us how we can make mealtimes healthier with the right kitchen Know-How.

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has recently started an activity to help people understand the danger of
being exposed to acrylamide (丙烯酰胺), a possible
cancer-causing chemical, while cooking at home.

According to some scientific research, overcooking can cause cancer, so we should try to keep a golden yellow colour or lighter when frying, baking or roasting foods such as potatoes, root vegetables, and bread.
So, how can we cook up delicious meals without hurting health?

SHOP SMARTER

Although it is nearly impossible to completely avoid acrylamide, it’s worth knowing which products contain it.
Acrylamide is a chemical that is produced when

starchy (淀粉类) foods are heated to very high

“The risks of overcooking food are two-fold,” explains the expert. “Many nutrients (营养物) like some vitamins are damaged by heat and therefore cooking can destroy
some of the goodness in certain foods such as fruit and vegetables. What’s worse, certain foods are believed to cause cancer when cooked.”

temperatures for longer periods and is found in a wide range of foods, including chips, cakes and bread.
The expert explains, “There are no clear guidelines on the ‘safe’ level of acrylamide that a person can eat, so try to reduce eating it whenever possible instead of trying to completely get rid of it, which could be so hard.”
The way we store our food can also increase acrylamide levels. The FSA advises keeping raw potatoes for frying in a dark, cool place at a temperatu
