B(2025·安徽中考)
Relationships with your siblings (兄弟姐妹) can help you practice social skills. Having a good relationship with them can help you communicate with other people, and understand other people's feelings. You can even learn things when you don't get on with your siblings. When you have argued (争吵) with them, you have to work out how to be in the same space as them. As a result, you often learn how to accept differences. It is very useful in the outside world.
It's completely normal (正常的) that sometimes you and your sibling won't see eye to eye. "Have a good think about why the two of you don't get on. Try to talk when you both cool down," says Dr Owen, a researcher in new children develop. "Tell them how you feel. You could say, 'It really hurts me when you make jokes about me.' If the trouble carries on, talk to a trusted adult (成年人)."
All families are different. What if you don't have siblings? That doesn't mean you won't experience the advantages people get from having a brother or sister. There are ways to help only children develop these skills too.

C(2025·新疆中考)
It is believed that reading is not only good for our self-development but also quite easy to do. There are so many benefits(好处) to read books.
Reading is a good way to deal with stress. In one study, reading was found to be effective(有效的) in reducing stress. When you are reading books, you can keep the noisy world out and needn't worry about the problems that $\underline{\mathrm{bother}}$ you. This means that reading can help you feel relaxed.
Reading protects brain health. If you read at least once a week, you probably have a better ability in understanding at an old age than those who do not. Because when you are reading, you actually keep thinking even imagining. And that is a good exercise for your mind.
Reading is an excellent bedtime activity. On one hand, reading before bed can help you fall asleep in a shorter time. On the other hand, it is better for your eyes to hold a book while going to bed instead of your mobile phone.
All in all, there is no doubt that reading is good for you. Why not pick up a book to read right now?
