 My parents taught me not to waste food. My mom always found ways to make leftovers(剩余食物)taste good. I went to Ilan to learn about their special foods. As I was there,I learned about both the food and the history of the area. I learned that people in Ilan don't waste food,either,and they make good use of leftovers !

  Many years ago,there was not enough food for everyone. People learned to cook and eat almost everything. They had to think of ways to make special dishes. One of these dishes is kao zha. It's made with leftovers like meat,soup,oil and fat. That might not sound very good,but it does taste good. Today, kao zha is a special dish at big banquets(宴会;).

  Another famous dish is called zao bing. It's made with fruit,meat and other things. I really like it!But I don't want to eat too much. It has a lot of fat in it.

  I smelled something burning and I saw smoke , so I found another special food of the Ilan area―duck meat. The duck meat is put in a big oven (炉子)to cook. Smoke keeps the meat fresh. I don't usually eat meat,but this duck meat is delicious! It tastes sweet.

 Who Influences Teenagers?

  "Teenager" means people from 13 to 19 years old. Although they're young,they have to make many important choices by themselves. They need to think about questions like these : Should I go to college? What kind of jobs do I want? However,other people also influence their choices. Who influences teenagers? Teenagers were asked this question and here's what they said.

  It depends on the kind of choices. When teenagers buy things,friends are the most important influence. This is especially true for clothes and music. TV shows,advertisements and parents also influence teenagers. In more serious things,parents are probably the most important influence. Some teenagers say it's best to regard both parents and friends as influences. James,a seventeen-year-old boy says he's just "a crazy man". He also says, "Parents are really important because they can tell you what's right and wrong.”

  But teenagers also feel they need to make choices by themselves―to make their own mistakes. As one teenage girl said, "If our parents don't let us make our own choices,maybe in the future we won't know how to do it. " And they feel friends can also be a big help,and sometimes friends know more about their situation(处境)than their parents do.

  Do you depend on parents or others when you decide what to do and how to do it? Whoever you depend on,the correct choice is the most important. Your future is in your hand. 

(   ) 1. People from 13 to 19 can be called teenagers.

(   ) 2. When teenagers buy clothes and music,friends are the most important influence.

(   ) 3. TV shows and advertisements can't influence teenagers.

(   ) 4. In more serious things,friends are probably the most important influence.

Experts say that it is not easy to get used to life in a new culture. "Culture shock" is the term specialists use when talking about the feelings that people have in a new environment. "There are three stages of culture shock," say the specialists. In the first stage, the newcomers like their new environment. Then,when the fresh experience dies,they begin to hate the city,the country,the people, and everything else. In the last stage, the newcomers begin to adjust to their surroundings

 

and,as a result,enjoy their life more.

There are some obvious factors in culture shock. The weather may be unpleasant. The customs may be different. The public service systems, the telephone, post office, or transportation may be difficult to work out. The simplest things seem to be big problems. The language may be difficult.

Who feels culture shock? Everyone does in this way or that. But culture shock surprises most people. Very often the people having the worst culture shock are those who never had any difficulties in their home countries and were successful in their community. Coming to a new country,these people find they do not have the same established positions. They find themselves without a role,almost without an identity(身份).They have to build a new self image.

Culture shock gives rise to a feeling of disorientation(迷惘).This feeling may be homesickness. When homesick,people feel like staying inside all the time. They want to protect themselves from the strange environment,and escape inside their room for a sense of security. This escape does solve the problem of culture shock for the short term,but it does nothing to make the person familiar with the culture. Getting to know the new environment and gaining experience are the long-term solutions to the problem of culture shock.

A.  stay inside all the time for safety

B.  phone his parents or friends in his home country for comfort
