together. Just as you start to get ready, your dad reminds you that it is your aunt"s birthday and the whole
family is going out to dinner to celebrate. How can this possibly end without a huge argument?
One of the greatest sources of tension (紧张情绪) between teenagers and their families is the struggle
to balance personal desires with family expectations. As you are getting older, you are becoming more
independent and more interested in being with your friends.
However, at the same time, your family is trying to figure out how to deal with these changes. While
you once spent most of your free time with your family, you are now often absent from home. Parents
may get their feelings hurt. Or they might feel that they are losing control of their family during this period.
You might feel angry that so many family demands are placed on you.
There are a few things you can try to make it a little easier to ease (缓解) the tension.
* Make your plans in advance. Ask your parents if there is anything else planned at that time.
* When something with your friends interferes (冲突) with a family event,try to figure out if there is
any way you can do both.
* Suggest something you would really like to do with your family. Sometimes parents feel better just
knowing their teenager wants to spend time with them.
Some of the time you won"t be happy with the outcome (结果). You might either have to disappoint
your parents or have to miss out being with your friends. However, if you show consideration for the
feelings of both your family and your friends,you can solve the problem in a tender way.

举一反三
(打断) by the noisy sound of a cellphone (手机)! Cellphones are everywhere, and some people don"t know
what the limits of cellphone use are.
For me, it"s just a matter of education, good manners, and common sense. If I go to a beautiful place,
it is because I want to enjoy nature. I can do it, but without bothering (打扰) other people.
Nowadays, that"s the biggest problem. People disturb other people, first with the ringing of their
cellphones and then with their conversations because they usually speak very loudly. Not everybody in a
public place should have to listen to private conversations (私人谈话). Even more annoying, you hear just
one part of the conversation.
People need to learn how to use cellphones correctly. If there is an emergency (紧急情况), cellphones
are acceptable, but remember that just a few years ago few people had cellphones and the whole society
survived!
But again, not everybody wants to listen to other people"s private conversations. It"s like smoking. People
don"t want to be bothered by smokers. Our society has to learn to respect other people.
Sometimes when you are talking to someone, that person interrupts the conversation because of a
cellphone call, without saying "I"m sorry." That is bad manners. They don"t know how to respect other people.
It"s just common sense! But our society is sometimes so "common senseless!" So, we have to write some
rules to prohibit (禁止) cellphone use in some places.
B. How to Use Cellphones
C. Don"t Disturb Others
D. The Popularity (流行) of Cellphones
B. People can"t hear the other part of the conversation.
C. Private conversations are carried out on cellphone.
D. Not everyone uses a cellphone in public places.
B. people don"t want to listen to others talk
C. people don"t want to be bothered by cellphone talkers
D. some people don"t want others to smoke
B. Some of the cellphone users don"t have good manners.
C. Before using cellphones, we must know how to respect others.
D. People who use cellphones are not interested in beautiful scenery at all.
that special day with your mother.
While it seems almost a tradition to take your mother out for dinner on Mother"s Day, perhaps this year
you could try something else. You could invite her to a restaurant before or after the actual day. This way you
don"t have to fight the crowds, and the prices will be lower.
Take your mother out for a picnic lunch if the weather is nice. You and she can enjoy the cool breeze under
the shade of a tree while having a nice meal that you have made for her. Be sure to pack some of her favorite
foods.
Another idea would be to invite your mother to go bowling (打保龄球). Even if she has never bowled in
her life, trying something new is always interesting.
You could treat her to a movie she is dying to see, and make sure you buy her all the popcorn and candies
she can eat. If you are a male, the chances are you won"t like the movie she wants to see, so instead you could
go to the mall and get your picture taken with your mother, which she can proudly display in her house.
Take her to a spa on Mother"s Day. She has been working so hard and needs a way to release her stress.
If she doesn"t want to go to a spa, buy her special soaps and oils so she can relax herself in her own tub.
There are various types of soaps and oils with delicious flavors available. You could also buy her some
scented (芬芳的) candles that she could light by her tub to make the atmosphere peaceful.
No matter what you choose, make sure you do something special for the woman who took care of you
for so long.

| Traveling It is exciting to visit different places. As you travel, you will admire the beauty of nature. Besides, you can make friends with people from different places. Finally, you can get to know the culture and enjoy the delicious food. Today people are so fond of traveling that tourism has become one of the faster growing industries in most countries. The main reason why people travel is, perhaps, to relax. For example, having worked hard throughout the weekdays, people will find a trip to the nearby mountains or beaches for a real relaxation. For another example, spending a holiday traveling abroad is an especially satisfying experience for those who do not have much of an opportunity to be away from their homelands. When people return from their travel, they will generally feel fresh and energetic, ready to work harder. Traveling is also one of the best means for learning and broadening your views. You may have read or heard about something but you can never get an accurate picture of it until you see it for yourself. Seeing is believing. Furthermore, if you are a careful observer, you can learn much during your travel about the geography, biology, and history of the places you visit. No matter how well educated you are, there is always a lot for you to learn through traveling. The knowledge acquired from travel, as you will have found in your life, is no less valuable than that from any influential reference book. |
