Joey was happy because he had many special friends-four squirrels(松鼠),two rabbits, and many colorful birds. At the meal time, these wild animals came near to the family and they would feed these special friends.

In the large yard stood thirteen trees of different sizes. One day, while Joey was playing with his sister under the trees, he noticed that a tree trunk(树干)had a sad look. He ran into the house to tell his mom about it. She told Joey to find the reason why it was sad.

So Joey went into the yard, ran to the sad tree and asked,“ Why are you unhappy?”

“I am the smallest tree around. The birds don't fly to me. The rabbits don't eat grass under me. The squirrels don't climb to my top. Nobody needs me or loves me,” replied the sad tree.

After knowing the reason, the family had a meeting. Joey suggested making a seat under the sad tree. Joey's father said he could help make a seat around the tree. The family would sit under the tree and the tree wouldn't feel sad anymore.

When Joey told his special friends the tree was sad, they decided to do what they could to help make the sad tree happy again.

Early the next morning, when Joey woke up, he noticed birds singing happily in the little tree and saw squirrels running up and down in it. Rabbits were eating the fresh grass around the tree. The little tree was happy again.

Joey ran inside to tell the good news to his family. Joey's mother and father went into the yard and saw the happy tree.

Duan Jiayang, a 12-year-old student of a primary school in Yinchuan, Ningxia, learns the skills required to take care of vegetable fields.

“I learned how to place the mulch film(地膜),”he says.“It's not easy.”

In China, many parents place a heavy focus on their children's good results, but vocational (职业的)skills have little been cared.

When Leon Martin asked for his parents' advice on how to become a UX designer(设计师),they both went silent. “In fact, I had no idea what he was talking about,” said Anne, his mother. “I don't know whether he was talking about designing clothes, computer programs or a fancy brand of bike.”

Even when her 18-year-old son explained that it was something about “behind the scenes” online design, his mother was still a bit lost.“I felt like I had totally failed as a parent,” she said. “My job as a parent is to open doors so my children can achieve their potential(潜力),but now can I do that when I don't even understand what their dreams are?”

_________ Research has found that more than 2/3 of parents in England are now facing the problem that, when their children express interest in new education and job choices, they may know nothing about them. More than 75% of parents feel it is almost impossible to offer their children good advice in such a fast- changing job market.

Michelle Rea did a survey of over 2,000 parents of secondary school students in England. She found that many parents were afraid their children hardly follow them. “We all know that parents' opinions and suggestions play an important role in shaping and influencing their children's career dreams,” she said.“But we usually depend much on our own experiences. And things have changed so much since most of us were at school.”

Bryony Mathew, writer of the Awesome Career Books, said the world was changing so rapidly that parents should not try to decide on certain careers for their children.

1.What should a successful parent be able to do according to Anne?

2.Which of the following is the best sentence to fill in the blank in Paragraph 3?

3.What did Michelle Rea's survey mainly show?

A. Most of the parents in England were facing trouble in accepting new jobs.

B. Parents feared that their children would refuse to share their career dreams.

C. A lot of parents found it difficult to help their children with their education.

D. Children's career future depend a lot on their parents' working experiences.

4.What could be the best title for the passage?

A. How can children make career choices?

C. Should children take their parents' career advice?

D. Should parents choose a career for their children?

 (2022·江苏苏州中考)阅读理解

All aboard! Let's take a ride on the world's highest railway-the Qinghai-Tibet Railway(青藏铁路). Sit back and enjoy the journey. Get ready for the trip of a lifetime.

We're leaving Qinghai Station. The scenery along the way is some of the wildest in all of China. Keep your eyes open as we race through this beautiful land. You might see a rare Tibetan antelope(藏羚羊)from your window.

Before we begin our journey, let's learn about this amazing railway. It's truly one of the greatest engineering wonders of the 21st century. When it was completed on July 1, 2006,the Tibet Railway set nine world records, including the world's highest railway at 5,072 meters above sea level, the world's highest tunnel(隧道)at 4,905 meters, and the longest tunnel ever built on permafrost(冻土).

As we travel higher, the air gets thinner and thinner. Soon there will only be 50 to 60 percent of the oxygen which we are used to breathing. But don't be afraid. Each rail car has two separate oxygen systems, One system spreads oxygen throughout the train at all times. And each passenger can also get a personal oxygen mask just like those used in planes.

Here are a few more things to think about as our train leaves the station. The designers solved three main challenges when building this great railway. First, the high altitude(海拔) made the task difficult because there was no enough oxygen. Second, much of the railway runs across permafrost, a type of ground that keeps changing as the weather warms and cools. Finally, the railway goes through some of the most sensitive ecology(敏感的生态环境)in China. Great care was necessary to make sure of the smallest possible influence on nature.

All three challenges were met, making our trip possible. All aboard! The train to Tibet is leaving in fifteen minutes.

1.Where are the passengers?

2. How does the text show the railway is amazing in Paragraph 3?

A. By telling a story.

B. By using a designer's words.

C. By introducing its world records.

D. By comparing the present with the past.

3.How many oxygen systems are there in each rail car?

4.Which of the following increased the difficulty of building the railway?
