M1U2 Reading----Home Alone
Act one
Mom and Dad arrive back from vacation a day earlier than expected.The curtains are closed and the living room is dark when Mom and Dad enter.Dad: It’s so nice to be home!
Mom: Yes, I can’t wait to surprise the boys!
Suddenly a door opens and a soccer ball flies through the room.Eric runs in after it, followed by a big dog, walking very slowly.Eric: Mom!Dad!You’re back early!(looking around room, sounding frightened)But, but---you weren’t supposed to come home until tomorrow!
The dog slowly walks to Mom and Dad.Mom:(bending to touch dog)Eric, he’s so tired and hungry!(looking at table)The money with which you were to buy dog food is gone, but Spot looks so hungry!What did you do with the money we left?
Dad: And look at the room---garbage all over the place!Where is your brother?(shouting angrily)Daniel!
Daniel:(running into room)Mom, Dad, I can explain---
Dad opens the curtains and light comes into the room.The room is in a mess, with pizza boxes on around which are pieces of garbage and waste paper.Mom and Dad both turn towards Daniel.Dad:(sounding very angry)Listen to me, young man----we left you in charge!We thought you could act like an adult, but look at the mess.I don’t know why the house is so dirty---
Mom: Daniel, we thought you were an adult, a person who would make good decisions…….Dad: How can we trust you any more? We won’t tolerate such behavior in our house!
Daniel:(shouting)Stop shouting at me.I’m still a teenager!Why is everything always my fault?Daniel runs into his bedroom and shuts the door angrily.Mom and Dad look at each other as lights go out.Act two, scene one
Daniel and Eric’s bedroom.Eric sits on his bed.Daniel has his arms crossed and looks upset.Daniel: They never even gave me a chance to defend myself.I hate them!
Eric: You don’t hate them.I can tell them we had an emergency.Then they won’t be mad anymore.Daniel: No, don’t tell them anything.Anyhow,they didn’t trust me.They don’t deserve an explanation.Let them think what they want.黑发不知勤学早，白发方悔读书迟——颜真卿
Eric: But Daniel, if they knew that Spot was sick and we used the money to take him to the clinic---
Daniel: And that we spent all of yesterday waiting there for him and that is why we had no time to clean the house---but no Eric, why didn’t they ask me what happened instead of shouting at me?Act two, scene two
高中英语课文Mom: Do you think we were too hard on Daniel? Perhaps there’s a reason why the house is a mess…..Dad: Maybe, but now that he has been so rude to us, I feel like we have to punish him or he won’t respect us.Mom: Oh, why does this have to be so difficult?
Mom sighs.End of act two.M1U2 Project---Growing pains
Many teenagers feel lonely, as if no one understands them and the changes they are going
through.Day by day, everything seems different, yet the same.Life never seems to be going fast enough;yet, in other ways, like a race car, life seems to be rushing too fast and even going out of control.Has anyone else ever felt this way?
These feelings are a common part of adolescence—the time of life between child and adult.And, though it may sometimes be difficult to believe, you are not alone—every adult has gone through adolescence, and your friends are going through it right now along with you.It is common for teenagers to feel lonely and misunderstood.These feelings can be th
ought of as growing pains—the difficulties that teenagers face as they grow to adults.As teenagers grow, it is normal for them to become confused with the changing world both inside and outside of them.During adolescence, teenagers go through great physical changes.They grow taller and their voices get deeper, among many other developments.Along with these physical changes, there come many psychological changes.Boys and girls tend to be different in this regard.Many boys become risk-takers—they want to find their own
limits and the limits of the world around them, but may not have the wisdom to make good choices in their behavior.At the same time, girls often want someone –anyone –to talk todeal with their strong feelings.In the social world, as teenagers get older, they struggle to depend on themselves.They may badly want and need their parents’ love, yet feel distant;they may want to be part of the group, yet
desire independence.Since teenagers have difficulty balancing these needs, they often question who they are and how they fit in society.In the end everything turns out OK—the
teenager becomes a healthy adult, and this period of change and challenge is traded for the changes and challenges of grown-up life.

1Anne’s Best Friend Do you want a friend whom you could tell everything to, like your deepest feelings and thoughts? Or are you afraid that your friend would laugh at you, or would not understand what you are going through? Anne Frank wanted the first kind, so she made her diary her best friend.Anne lived in Amsterdam in the Netherlands during World War Ⅱ.Her family was Jewish so nearly twenty-five months before they were discovered.During that time the only true friend was her diary.She said, ”I don’t want to set down a series of facts in a diary as most people do, but I want this diary itself to be my friend, and I shall call my friend Kitty.” Now read how she felt after being in the hiding plac
e since July 1942.Thursday 15th June, 1944 Dear Kitty, I wonder if it’s because I haven’t been able to be outdoors for so long that I’ve grown so crazy about everything to do with nature.I can well remember that there was a time when a deep blue sky, the song of the birds, moonlight and flowers could never have kept me spellbound.That’s changed since I was here.…For example, one evening when it was so warm, I stayed awake on purpose until half past eleven in order to have a good look at the moon by my self.But as the moon gave far too much light, I didn’t dare open a window.Another time five months ago, I happened to be upstairs at dusk when the window was open.I didn’t go downstairs until the window bad to be shut.The dark, rainy evening, the wind, the thundering clouds held me entirely in their power;it was the first time in a year and a half that I’d seen the night face to face… …Sadly …I am only able to look at nature through dirty curtains hanging before very dusty windows.It’s no pleasure looking through these any longer because nature is one thing that really must be experienced.Yours, Anne
