1、   Li Fang used to be an easy-going (随和的) girl. 1.她几乎不跟她的父母争吵。 But when she became a ninth-grader, things started to change. “We often have arguments, sometimes because of some little things, ”she said.

A study shows that the lack (缺乏) of support from parents makes things even worse. Li Fang said sadly, “2.The exams in Grade Nine are more difficult. So I’m under great pressure. But my parents push me too hard. They don’t support me at all”.

As ninth-graders enter the rebellious phase (叛逆期), 3.他们想要有他们自己的主意。 They try to make their parents agree with them. For example, Li Fang thinks there is nothing wrong with playing with boys, but her parents disagree.

4.To deal with these problems, experts gave some useful advice. Keep trying to talk with your parents though sometimes you may not understand each other.  5.Pay more attention to the changes in your body. Then try to accept them and control your feelings.

27、If you’re working to become better or hoping to make a change, you’ll probably hear your family and friends say “go big or go home”. But sometimes big goals can shoot you in the foot. So, is it good to set high expectations?

Having high expectations could be beneficial. It can motivate (激励) you and increase your productivity. When you have high expectations for something, you’ll probably behave in ways which can help make your expectations come true. For example, if you believe that you’re able to score an A in a test, you will probably spend a lot of time working on it. And when you have to complete a written task before the deadline, having expectations on yourself can motivate you to keep on going. Another benefit of setting high expectations is that as you start meeting your expectations, you’ll be even more motivated to set higher goals for yourself. In addition, having high expectations on yourself doesn’t only benefit you. You’re likely to encourage others to be more productive! While there’s plenty of good that comes from setting high expectations, going overboard and being unrealistic in expectations can be detrimental.

Having high expectations sometimes can cause psychological (心理的) problems, such as worry and unhappiness. The findings of a study showed that a group of students who were expected to do perfectly by their parents experienced serious stress and anxiety (焦虑). Great expectations can also lead to great disappointment. This is especially true when you set expectations on other people whose actions you cannot control. For example, if you’re feeling alone and you call up your friends, you surely expect them to make you feel better. When this fails to happen, you will feel disappointed and displeased with your friends. To avoid this situation, you should accept your friends for who they are and set your expectations around reality.

It is hard to manage expectations, but the main goal is to find the perfect balance in setting a more realistic and achievable expectation. Learn to let go of things, especially when they don’t turn out the way you hoped. Most importantly, don’t be afraid to celebrate your victories no matter how small they are.

【1】If you have a high expectation on yourself, you will probably _________.

A．discourage others

B．work hard to realize it

C．be more confident than before

D．have high expectations on others

【2】The word “detrimental” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_________ ”.

A．harmful

B．unusual

C．disappointing

D．impossible

【3】The writer probably agrees that _________.

A．it’s wise to ask your friends to help you set expectations

B．stress is very likely to help you achieve your expectations

C．parents should avoid setting expectations on their children

D．we should set expectations on others according to the reality

【4】What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?

A．To offer advice on how to realize expectations.

B．To explain why people like to set high expectations.

C．To lead people to take a right attitude towards expectations.

D．To encourage people to set high expectations for themselves.
