She said, “Every day just before Wen’s nap, I would imagine him being the main character in one of my favorite scenes and paint a background setting with common clothes, lovely animals and other household materials, just like how an artist would deal with the paint brush. After he fell asleep, I would place him at the centre of the theme I had creates and start taking photos.”
    With a collection of more than one hundred photos of Wen, Mrs. Liao published a book in Chinese in Taiwan. And there are plans for an English version to be published. She told her fans, “I’m truly touched by your support.”

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 fearful, and sometimes we just don’t understand why we can’t stay young forever. But we should take a look back on all the hardships (苦难) in life with a positive attitude and learn from them. We should realize that a ll of our growing pains actually turn into growing gains!
    Throughout our lives we are going to face many challenges and pains, but we should never let these obstacles keep us from following our dreams. We must overcome every obstacle one small step at a time.
    As a young girl, my parents forced me to do so m any things that I didn’t like. They made me learn to play the violin and then the piano. At that time I hated music and I also hated them. But looking back now, I am so glad 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 th emselves.
    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!
42. What would be the best title for this passage?
A. No Pains, No Gains
B. Growing Pains and Gains
C. Growing up is a Pain         
D. Growing up is Easy
43. The underlined word “obstacles” (in Paragraph 2) refers to things that _____. 
A. make it easy for you to do sth        
B. make it difficult for you to do sth
C. make you happy                            
D. make you full of energy
44. What does the writer now think about what her parents did for her in the past?
A. She is angry with them.                     
B. She is unhappy with them.
C. She thanks them very much.                  
D. She can’t believe them.
45. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Growing pains are part of our life.
B. Our growing pains will finally turn into growing gains.
C. We should stop when facing many challenges.
D. Life without challenges is boring and meaningless.

 Tele vision is good. You'd like to watch it all day and all night. But too much TV is a very bad thing, especially for kids. It may negatively affect their study and health.
Scientists have found that kids who watch too much TV may have more trouble learning to read than other kids. They may have worse language skills. Kids learn language skills best by reading, talking and playing with others. If they spend too much time watching TV, they'll have less time for those things.

Watching too much TV is also harmful for kid's health. It’s bad for the eyes. Kids don’t move much while watching TV. What’s more, they may eat a  lot of food while watching TV. This can make them fat. We call people wh o watch too  much TV “couch potatoes.”
Fighting on TV is a big p roblem for kids. An American child will watch a lot of fighting acts on TV every year. Young people are good at following others. Scientists say that those who watch a lot of fighting shows are more likely to fight.

One day, when a boy named Ted returned from school in a h   66   , his mother complained, "It is six o'clock, and
your school c    67     at four — where have you been?"
    "Oh, mom," said Ted, "when we play ball games, we f   68      everything else. We don't think of the time. Is supper ready?"
The boy's mother believed him. Ted's answer led her to think that he had been playing with his c   69   . But he
hadn't been playing at all.
He had been "kept in" by the school librarian, because he had made the l   70      in a complete mess. He didn't like to t   71    his mother about that. He wished her to think that he had been playing.
"What a shame it is for you to try to deceive(欺骗) your mother!" said something in Ted's heart, as he q    72     sat
down to his supper.
    "I don't care," said the boy to h   73     . "I don't care. I didn't tell a lie."
