   As children get older,what they are able to contribute around the house will increase. For every new duty you introduce,or even for small favors,you might find your child asking ,“How much will you give me?” You shouldn’t have to negotiate “wages” for responsibilities (责任) that are shared or for things that just need doing.

   By paying children for chores with an allowance,you may be teaching your kids the value of work,but you’ll also be sending the message that work isn’t worth doing unless he/she is getting paid for it. Suppose you’re giving your son an allowance for mowing the lawn,but then your neighbor offers him slightly more for mowing his lawn. Does that mean your son should stop mowing your family's lawn and mow the neighbor's instead?

   As your children grow and mature,they may find other avenues to earn money for themselves— babysitting after school,even birthday money. The fact that they may have outside sources of money should not excuse them from having to do their basic household duties. By keeping chores and allowances separate,parents can avoid this conflict (冲突) altogether.

   You probably talk to friends much more than you talk to your parents. That's natural. Even if you and your parents have a great relationship,you want to find your own path and make your own choices. Still,most of us want a parent's help,advice,and support at times. However talking to the adults in your life can seem difficult. But how to make it easier?

   First,talk about everyday stuff and do it every day. The more you do something,the easier it gets. Talking to the adults in your life about everyday stuff builds a bond that can smooth the way when you need to discuss something more serious.

   Find something unimportant to chat about each day. Talk about how your team did or share something one of your teachers said. Even small talk about what's for dinner can keep your relationship strong and comfortable.

   It's never too late to start. If you feel your relationship with your parents is nervous,try relaxing conversations. Talk about how well your little sister is doing in math. Chatting with parents every day keeps the relationship stronger.

   It was a dark and stormy night. I was about to go to bed when I heard a tapping sound on my window.

   “Who's there?” I shouted. Suddenly there was a flash of lightning;I saw a face at the window. It looked like an alien that I had seen on the television show ,“the X files."

   I felt very scared. I ran to my bed and pulled my blanket over my head. I started to shout for my parents but there was no reply. Then I remembered that they were at a fancy dress party.

I felt too scared. I sat up,and my mind was full of thoughts. I didn't fall asleep until late at night.
