24、   People all have problems. If we don’t deal with these problems, we can easily become unhappy. Worrying about our problems can influence how we do at school. It can also influence the way we behave with our families. So how do we deal with our problems? There are many ways, and here is one of them.

Most of us have probably been angry with our friends, parents or teachers. Perhaps they said something you didn’t like, or you felt they were unfair. Sometimes people can stay angry for years, about a small problem. Time goes by, and good friendship may be lost.

When we are angry, however, we are usually the ones influenced. Perhaps we have seen young children playing together. Sometimes they have disagreements, and decide not to talk to each other. However, this usually does not last for long, because they usually forget it quickly.

根据上述内容，判断下列句子正误，正确的在括号内填“T”，错误的在括号内填“F”。

【1】The main idea of the passage is how to deal with our problems.

【2】Worrying about our problems can’t influence how we do.

【3】Children don’t talk to each other probably because they disagree with each other.

【4】We aren’t influenced when we are angry.

【5】From the text we know an important lesson for us is learning to forget.

25、Raising pets is a popular online game among teenagers. "More than 20 of my classmates have adopted(领养) pets online." Said Wang Hui from Beijing.

If you go to some websites, you can adopt virtual(虚拟的) pets like penguins(企鹅), chickens, dogs and elephants. You can feed, wash, talk to and play with your pet.

Dai Yingshuang of Shanghai said, "It's great fun and I have also learned how to take care of others." She usually asks her uncle to take care of her pet while she is at school.

If you don’t feed and care for the pet, it will become unhappy and unhealthy. So raising an online pet means spending a lot of time online. This makes many parents worried. They fear it will have a bad influence on the children’s studies.

Wang Zhaotong from Anhui has raised a penguin since last year. She said, "My parents know about the penguin and think it's okay."

If the students can keep the balance between studying and playing, it's not bad for them to "raise" pets online.

26、The message was short. I read it three times: “Hey, Mom, can I come to see you?” I wrote back: “Yes!” He said he hoped to make it in time for dinner.

I made a quick run to the market, put sheets on the guest bed and set the TV to record the Warriors’ game, so if traffic was awful, he wouldn’t have to miss the first half. Then I began cooking, cleaning, watching the clock and listening for his footsteps coming up the walk.

It’s called waiting. I’m good at it. When he was a newborn, I’d wait for him to go to sleep. Soon then I’d stand by his bed waiting for him to wake up. I waited, as he learned to do things like walking, talking and feeding himself; throwing a ball, riding a bike and reading a book.

I waited for him to start preschool, primary school, middle school and college.

I waited with dread for him to start driving. And I waited up every time he came home late.

I wait for my son to grow up, but that doesn’t mean the waiting game is over. It never really ends.

Mothers wait for all kinds of reasons—good news or bad, happiness or heartache. But the waiting is soon forgotten, usually, the minute a long awaited child walks through the door.

My boy will be here soon. But if he’s late, I can wait. I’m good at it. And he’s worth(值得) it. I will always leave a light on for him.

27、For Schultz, 77-year-old man, this is a chance of a lifetime. Schultz is part of a group of around 50 Germans who are on a bus journey along the ancient Silk Road.
