【2019 • 山东威海】

Mr Chen was puzzled（闲惑的）and a little suspicious（怀疑的）. He sat in the office and studied a letter apparently（明显地）from Mrs Wang, the mother of one of the pupils in his class. There was something about it which worried him.

“I don't understand, ”he said to himself. He shook his head as he circled four mistakes in the letter. "Mrs Wang is an educated woman. She wouldn't make mistakes like these even if she did write the letter in a hurry. "Mr Chen took out his class register（名册）and said to himself, “Yesterday was Thursday. Let me see. Ah, yes. I thought so. David was absent on Thursday last week and the week before. Hm. Why is he so often absent on Thursdays? Was he really ill yesterday? Could it be a coincidence（巧合）?”

Mr Chen stared at the register as if the answers to his questions were hidden in it somewhere. Then he took out a copy of the timetable（课程表）for his class.

"I wonder. . "he told to himself. "I wonder if his absence has anything to do with one of these lessons. "

Mr Chen looked at the subjects for Thursday: Mathematics, English, P. E. He thought about P. E. He knew that the pupils had P. E. twice a week: once on Monday, when they usually played games on the school field, and once on Thursday, when they did exercises in the gym.

Mr Chen glanced round the office to find Mr Long, the rather strict P. E. teacher, but he was not there.

"I'd better have a chat with Long and David, "Mr Chen thought.

The bell rang. "I can't do anything right now, "Mr Chen thought. "It's time to go to Class 2. I' ll do it later on. "

Mr Chen picked up his books and walked off to teach Class 2.

Later, on Friday, Mr Chen spoke to Mr Long, the P. E. teacher. Mr Long agreed that it seemed strange for David to be absent so often on gym days. They thought about it for a while.

“David is a good athlete（运动员）, ”Mr Long finally said, "but he's afraid of heights. I was hard on him once because he wouldn't climb more than a couple of metres up the rope. Do you think that's why he's been absent recently? ”

“Yes, I think so, "Mr Chen said. "I'm going to talk to him this afternoon before he goes home. "

"Well, I've got a suggestion to make, "said Mr Long. "If he's scared of heights, he'd better come and see me after school. Quite a few people suffer from（遭受）vertigo. I'll be glad to help him. ”

“That's very kind of you, "said Mr Chen. "I'll get him to come and see you on Monday or Tuesday. ”

Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true.

Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages, If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don 't worry about it. Here is some advice for you to bridge the generation gap （消除代沟） .

Don’t argue （争辩） with your parents. Don’t get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won’ consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express （表达） yourself well if you are angry. Go somewhere to cool off . Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don’t think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.

Try to reach a compromise （和解） . Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.

Of course, your parents. might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect （尊敬） to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.

    Every day there is less and less space on Earth for rubbish. Yet every day we make more and more rubbish. What can we do? We can recycle some of our rubbish. Recycling means that the rubbish will be made into something that can be used again.

Recycling helps Earth. And it saves space in rubbish dumps. Half of everything that we put into landfills could be recycled instead. In fact, most things made of paper, metal, glass and plastic can be recycled.

Paper can be broken into small pieces and made into new paper. Steel and aluminum cans（金属雄）can be melted down（熔化）and made into new cans. The same is true of glass bottles. This can be done aver and over again. Recycling doesn't take as much energy as making these things the first time. So we can use less of Earth's fuel resources.

Plastic can be melted down, too. Then it can be formed into park benches, playgrounds and so on. Some people call plastic the "wood" of the future. Things made of plastic will last about 400 years-even if they stay outside in the weather. No wood can do that!
