It's not easy growing up. Growing up can be a real "pain" for some of us. We are always doing things that
someone else makes us do and aren't allowed to do all the things we like. Sometimes we feel sad， sometimes we
are afraid， and sometimes we just don't understand why we can't stay young forever. But we should take a look
back on all the hard periods life with a positive attitude （积极的态度） and learn from them. We should realize

that my parents encouraged me to take music lessons. Music has enriched（丰富）my life in so many ways. I now
realize that my parents and teachers wanted me to have a better life than they did themselves.
We are all going to experience growing pains， but they are just part of our life. Think about how we would
feel if we had no challenges and lived a life like that. Life would be really boring and meaningless. The future is
ours! A little hard work and sweat （汗水） never hurt anyone! If we realize that these pains are just small bumps
（碰撞） on our road to success， we will realize that our growing pains are actually growing gains！

As time goes by，are you still the same person you used to be？Many of you might think you are.But
according to a new study，your personality can change greatly.You could be a completely different person at 77
compared to when you were 14 years old，HuflPost reported.
Psychologists（心理学家）at the UK's University of Edinburgh did the study on a group of Scottish people.The
research found that almost everyone's personality changed when they grew old.The findings were published in the
journal Psychology and Aging.
The research is based on a study that began in 1950.A group of teachers gave more than 1，200 14-year-old
students personality tests.They tested six basic personalities：self-confidence，conscientiousness （责任心），
perseverance（耐性），desire to excel （好胜心），creativity and moods.
In 2012，researchers successfully found 174 of the 1，200 students，who were 77 years old on average at the
time.They agreed to take a personality test similar to the one they had completed 63 years earlier.
Researchers then compared（比较）the then-and-now test results.They were surprised a lot to find great
changes to all six personalities of these people.Moods and conscientiousness had changed.But there were still not
too many similarities between the two results.
The younger and older seemed to be totally different for each person.It was"as if the second tests had been
given to different people，" the study's authors noted.
In the past，personality was widely believed to be stable .William James，the father of American psychology，
said that personality is"set like a plaster （石膏板）".This new study may bring some fresh ideas to the theory.
（1）The writer begins the passage by .
A.telling a joke B.asking a question C.describing a problem D.introducing a study
（2）How many people were tested in 2012 according to the passage？
A.77. B.174. C.1，200. D.63.
（3）The underlined word" stable" in the last paragraph means .
A.fixed B.skilled C.stressed D.amazed
（4）Which of the following is TRUE？
A.The researchers did the research on a group of Irish teenagers.
B.The 2012 personality test was the opposite of the old one completely.
C.In 2012，other students no longer wanted to take part in the test.
D.The researchers were very surprised after comparing the results.
（5）What does the result of the study show？
A.People's personalities changes for the better with age.
B.A person's personalities can change as people age.
C.Different people have different personalities.
D.personalities don’t change in adulthood

Blind Box Pets Craze
Blind box toys have become very popular recently in China.For many young people，not knowing what is
inside the box until they open it adds more surprise and fun to their buying experience.More and more companies
start selling their goods in blind boxes，such as stationery，books and even flights.However，some of them have
really gone too far.
On May 3，160 little dogs and cats were found inside a van （厢式货车） at a delivery station （快递站点）
in Chengdu.Like other goods，they were packed in boxes to be sent to different places through the post.
According to the Chengdu Aizhijia Animal Rescue Center，when volunteers found those animals，four of them

were dead and many were sick.All of them were under three months old.
In fact，the sale of blind box pets is nothing new.On Taobao and Pinduoduo，some live animals were being sold
for prices as low as 9.9 yuan.Lots of animals on sale died on their way to their buyers or within weeks after
arriving.As a rule set by those pet shops，buyers cannot return whatever they get because that is how blind boxes
work.So if the buyer gets a dead cat in the post，that's bad luck!
The delivery company，ZTO（中通快递），has said sorry on Weibo for collecting live animals from sellers for
delivery，yet public anger is not cooling down.People are calling for an end to the crazy sale of blind box pets.State

A.They can call the police to punish the seller.
B.They can't do anything but shout "Bad luck".
C.They can return it through ZTO within seven days.

future.This will give them the chance to get their basic skills and be creative in the kitchen.
Cooking can save money
One of the main reasons why cooking should be taught in schools is that the students always use a lot of
money to buy ready-made food，while they can spend less money to buy the necessary ingredients（烹调的原料）
