How to Love Your Parents
Even if you think that your parents are mean-spirited at times, loving your parents is a normal and fulfilling part of life.You love them for the fact that they created you, raised you, and are in part, a source of who you are.
Tell them you love them every morning.A gentle "good morning" and "I love you" will warm a coldest heart. Remember that they brought you into this world. Without your parents, we might still wander at an unknown corner in an unknown world.
Respect them more and cherish these moments.You can use these moments to learn from them, preparing yourself for when you're off on your own.It's OK to get angry but angry actions don't help you or your parents. Act calmly, cool off, write down your feelings, or talk to a friend.Obey their requests. It will make your attitude better and earn you more respect from them.It may seem like you are going through hell when you don't get what you want or you have to clean.However, you had better remember they keep a roof over your head when it's cold, raining, snowing, or too hot.Understand that parents are human beings and make mistakes.

第一节 任务型读写(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
阅读下面短文,根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。注意:每个空格只填一个单词。
Some people believe that greed and selfishness has become the basis of modern society, and we should return to the old traditions of family and community then we will have a better life.To what extent do you agree or disagree with the above opinion?
In this fast-paced world, many values are undergoing major changes.While people traditionally prioritize(优先) caring, sharing and generosity in life and work, modern people seem to be more self-absorbed and self-concerned.
Modern people act selfishly to survive the severe competition of life.They say that it is a struggle out there.To survive, you have to fight with whatever means that come handy.Obviously greed and selfishness go perfectly well with such ideas.In a company, employees do everything they can to get better pay and higher position, even at the cost of colleagues.We are in any way advocating any selfish conduct.It is just that people are pressured to act in a certain way due to outside influences.
In spite of common practice, it is hard to conclude that modern society is built on greed and selfishness, both of which are not newly invented vocabulary.In ancient times people also did greedy and selfish things though such behaviors were more criticized then.But we can not ignore the fact that people in the past lived a relatively more isolated life and faced less pressure compared with their modern counterparts.
Are we happier to share with others and be generous to them? There is no fixed answer either.Some people take great pleasure helping and giving to others while others feel happy doing the opposite.But I personally think that people should not be too selfish.Caring for others can actually encourage the development of a mutually beneficial relationship.
In conclusion, modern people appear to be more self-centered than those in the past due to strong outside pressure.However, we should encourage people to know the importance of being caring and generous and to build a mutually beneficial relationship with others.
