Ways to Help Your Teen Adjust to a New School

In an ideal world, a teen could start and finish their schooling at the same school.1.. And while a move to a new city can be stressful for the entire family, it may be especially difficult for your teenager. Use these strategies to help your teen adjust to a new school.

2.

The adjustment period begins before your teen ever steps foot into the new school. Point out the new opportunities that’ll be available. If you have confidence that you can make it a new city or a new job, your teen will feel more confident about his ability to succeed in a new school.

Listen to your teen’s concerns

If you don’t have an open relationship with your teen currently, now it is the time to build one. It’s easiest to get him to open up when he’s feeling unsure. 3..Is he worried about new teachers? Does he doubt his ability to make the basketball team?

Talk about your reasons for moving

4.. If you’re preparing for a better career opportunity, or you need to find a new house because you can’t afford to stay where you are, talk about it.

Learn about the new school ahead of time

Conduct as much research as possible about the new school before your teen starts attending. Get your teen to find out about the size of the school and the types of classes offered.5..Talking to a network guidance counselor ahead of time can also be helpful.

A. Keep a positive attitude

B. Develop your teen’s different abilities

C. Keep asking questions about his biggest concerns

D. Be honest with your teen about why you’re moving

I was born and raised in England in a culture where privacy and “keeping yourself to yourself” were valued traditions. Speaking to strangers was not encouraged. People were most hospitable(好客的) and friendly.

However, I have been lucky enough to spend some time in both Italy and the US, where I found traditions of hospitality and politeness to be very different.

I experienced Italian hospitality first-hand on a crowded railway carriage travelling, one afternoon, from Genoa to Florence. Sinking gratefully into an empty seat, I was scolded in rapid Italian by a gentleman who was returning to this seat-it had not been “spare” after all. I apologized in English, and got up to allow him back into the seat. The gentleman obviously had no understanding of the English language, but he, too, realized my genuine(真诚的) mistake. He smiled and gestured for me to remain in the seat, and he himself remained standing in the corridor for the remainder of the journey. The other occupants of the carriage smiled and nodded at me and made me feel quite welcome amongst them. I feel that if this had been in England, a foreigner who made a mistake would not always be so kindly treated.

Transport also featured in the differences I noticed between English and American culture. I flew to New York on a plane with mainly English passengers. We sat together in near silence. Nobody spoke to me nor, as I expected, to anyone else they did not know. They felt it was not polite to interrupt someone else's privacy. However, when I travelled across the United States, whether by plane or Greyhound bus, I was never short of conversation. Conversation was going on all around me and whoever sat next to me was happy to introduce themselves and ask me about myself. They obviously felt it would have been rude not to speak to another person, whether they were strangers or not.

1.What do we know about the occupants when the author was travelling in Italy?

A. They were all on the side of the gentleman.

B. They all laughed at the author for his mistake.

C. They would not bear a mistake like the author's in public.

D. They all showed their understanding of the author's mistake.

2.How does the author finally believes the Italian people are?

A. Cold. B. Rude. C. Helpful. D. Hospitable.

3.Why did English passengers sit in near silence according to the last paragraph?

A. They were too tired to speak to anyone.

B. They were all strangers to each other

C. Privacy was a valued tradition in England

D. Everybody was deeply lost in thought

4.What can be the best title for the text?

A. Different Ways of Hospitality and Politeness

B. My Unforgettable Travelling Experience Abroad

C. Co-understanding Each Other

D. The Importance of Privacy

“Inspector Sands to the control room, please.” If you ever hear that at a British train station, don’t panic. But you might appreciate knowing that this is a codeword meant to inform staff that there is an emergency somewhere in the building. The idea is to avoid causing alarm among commuters(通勤者), but still get the message out to those trained to deal with the problem.

The subject of secret codewords like this was raised this week on Reddit, and the discussion has attracted thousands of examples. But what codewords and signs are really out there in the wild?

A good place to start is hospital emergency codes. These are often colour-coded, and one health centre in Canada has published its list online. “Code red” announces a fire, “code white” indicates a violent person while “code black” means a bomb threat is active. It’s been reported that hospital staff sometimes refer to the morgue as “Rose Cottage”, in order to avoid upsetting relatives of a patient who has recently died.

“I can see very good reasons for having these codes,” says Paul Baker, a linguist at the University of Lancaster. “It may be that people are unsure when they’re giving the code so there’s no point upsetting members of the public.”

Not all codes are alphanumeric(字母数字混合的). Some are visual, intended to be hidden in plain sight. As BBC Future discovered earlier this year, many banknotes feature a specific pattern of dots placed there to prevent people from photocopying money. Many copiers and scanners are programmed to spot it.

And finally, the spray-painted squiggles(扭曲的线条) you see on pavements in towns and cities all over the world are codes understood by construction workers and engineers. For example, in UK, different colours are related to different types of cable or pipe. Blue meant a water system while yellow indicated gas lines and green labelled CCTV or data wiring.

All of these codes have a purpose — to avoid causing panic, to transmit subtle signals in social groups, or to provide technical information quickly and easily. “People don’t like secrets, do they?” says Baker. “There is a drive to have as much information as possible — we do live in the information age,” he adds.

1.The following are purposes of the secret codes except ________.

A. to avoid causing alarm and panic among the public

B. to send sensitive signals in social groups

C. to provide technical information quickly and easily

D. to make people believe you are wiser

2.The underlined word “morgue” in Para. 3 refers to the room in a hospital ________.

A. where patients are treated

B. where dead bodies are kept

C. where a patient has an operation

D. where a surgeon cuts open the patient in case of emergency

3.How many kinds of secret codes are mentioned in the passage?

A. 2. B. 3. C. 4. D. 5.

4.Which of the following could be the best title of the passage?

A. The Secret Codes You Probably don’t know

B. Where to Find the Codes

C. The Origin of Different Codes

D. Secrets in the Modern Society
