跨越60岁年龄差的对话
A 10-year-old boy and a 70-year-old man sat down, asking and answering each other questions about age.
Man: What is bad about being young?
Boy: Well, going to school. You get lots of homework. But it's also fun to play with friends there. What is bad about being old?
Man: Not being able to do things you could do when you were young. Your body gets stiff(僵硬的). It hurts sometimes. And you might get sick more often. In your imagination, what is great about being old?
Boy: I can always be free and buy things I want. From your experience, what is great about being young?
Man: You are passionate(热情的) about everything in life. It helps you have fun every day. And you are more creative because you are more open to trying new things.
Then they were asked to give each other 2 pieces of advice.
Boy: ①Smile more. You look so serious that kids might not want to play with you. Smile can also bring you good luck and help you face each day without fear. ② 6
Man: ①Read more books. Reading helps you learn new things and lets you see a bigger world. It's also a way to relax yourself. ②Be kind to other people. When you show love and kindness, it creates a world full of warmth and friendship.

任务二:开放式表达。

任务一:
1. F 根据男孩说“Well, going to school. You get lots of homework. But it's also fun to play with friends there.”可知，虽然男孩觉得作业多，但他也觉得和朋友一起玩很有趣。因此，他并非完全不喜欢上学。题干表述与原文不符。
2. F 根据男士说“Not being able to do things you could do when you were young.”可知，老年人不能做年轻时能做的事情。题干表述不符。
3. T 根据男士说“And you are more creative because you are more open to trying new things.”可知，男士认为年轻人更有创造力，因为他们更愿意尝试新的事物。题干表述与原文相符。
4. T 根据男孩说“I can always be free and buy things I want.”可知，男孩想象中老年意味着可以自由/有空闲，并且买想要的东西。题干表述符合。
5. T 根据男士说“When you show love and kindness, it creates a world full of warmth and friendship.”可知，男士相信爱和善良很重要。题干表述与原文相符。

6. 新考法 读后续写 If you are the boy, give one piece of advice to the man and tell the reason(s).

词汇积累
imagination /ɪˌmædʒɪˈneɪʃn/ n. 想象
advice /ədˈvaɪs/ n. 劝告，建议
serious /ˈsɪəriəs/ adj. 严肃的
fear /fɪə(r)/ n. 恐惧
create /kriˈeɪt/ v. 创造
语法充电
be able to表示“能够，有能力”，后接动词原形，有时可以替代can/could，更强调最终成功完成某件事情。can/could通常只表示有能力去做，但不一定真正做了。

6. 答案不唯一，参考表达:Eat healthy foods. Good food can help you feel better and stay strong. Try to eat lots of fruits and vegetables.
