19.It is a big problem for most teenagers to get along well with parents.Teenagers are gradually getting more mature---or at least they think they are.So they can't wait to get themselves free from their so-called bondage.Their parents are in their 40s and they are annoyed by their aging.(33)FBut people prefer harmony.How can we achieve it?Here are some tips:
First and foremost,(34)A We can't be sure if we are created by God,yet people worship him,but we are absolutely sure that our parents created us.Isn't a good enough reason why we should respect them?
What's more,(35)CWe can't just take their payment for granted or become apathetic to their kindness.We are always impressed by strangers'occasional kindness.How can we be insensitive to our parents who worry about us all the time?
In addition,don't forget to communicate with your parents.(36)BFor example,they may read our private diaries or follow us everywhere even to the bathroom.This will definitely cause strife in the family.
Last but not the least,(37)DIt may be difficult at first,but once you do it,your parents'actions will suddenly be clear.
If parents and teenagers work a little more we can all get something back.

A.We must respect our parents from the bottom of our heart.
B.If we refuse to communicate with them,parents will fell so frustrated that they will do anything they can to know us.
C.it's important to be grateful to our parents.
D.We need to switch places with our parents.
E.Gradual disappointment with patents is,in some degree,inevitable.
F.That's why people say families at this time are a confrontation between adolescence and the climacteric.
G.As we get older,we begin to realize that our parents are not as perfect as we thought.

2.Why is pink or purple a color for girls and blue or brown for boys?(16)CTo the Egyptians,green was a color that represented the hope and joy of spring,while for Muslims,it means heaven.Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures.In China,children are given money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the New Year.For many nations,blue is a symbol of protection and religious beliefs.(17)E
People's choice of colors is also influenced by their bodies'reactions(反应) toward them.Green is said to be the most restful color.(18)APeople who work in green environment have been found to have fewer stomach aches.
(19)B So many decorators will include different shades of red in the restaurant.Similarly,many commercial websites will have a red"Buy Now"button because red is a color that easily catches a person's eye.
Blue is another calming color.Unlike red,blue can cause people to lose appetite.(20)F
The next time you are deciding on what to wear or what color to decorate your room,think about the color carefully.

A.It has the ability to reduce pain and relax people both mentally and physically.
B.Red can cause a person's blood pressure to rise and increase people's appetites(食欲).
C.The answer depends largely on cultural values as well as personal experiences.
D.Red can cause people to be excited and encourage them to make a purchase.
E.Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect themselves against evils.
F.So if you want to eat less,some suggest that eating from blue plates can help.
G.Because girls like pink or purple while boys blue or brown.
3.Good news for people who always fail to see the silver lining on clouds.A report in New Scientist,suggests that a tendency to get down when life knocks you down can be good for you.A growing number of warning voices from the world of mental-health research are claiming that it isn't a good idea to use antidepressant(抗抑郁剂)to help do away with unhappiness caused by marriage breakdown,death or redundancy(下岗)because"they fear that the increasing tendency to treat normal sadness as if it were a disease is playing fast and loose with an important part of our biology.Sadness serves an evolutionary(进化的)purpose."
Jerome Wakefield,a clinical social worker at New York University explains that depressive feelings are part of our biological makeup."When you find something deep in us biologically,you should believe that it was selected because it could bring us some advantage,otherwise we wouldn't have been burdened with it.I think that one of the functions of strong negative emotions is to stop our normal functioning,to make us focus on something else for a while."While Paul Keedwell,a psychiatrist at Cardiff University claims that ever full-blown depression may have its purpose,saying the sufferer from the effects of long-term stress."Without a mental pause,"he argues,"you might stay in a state of chronic(慢性的)stress until you're exhausted or dead."
Although it is important to be careful when talking about depression,having the upside traced in your downside will have an irresistible(不可抵抗的)appeal to all those who take the phrase"cheer up,love,it might never happen"as a personal insult(侮辱).It will be manna especially for creative types,who have long doubted that crying a lot is a sign of their inward genius(天赋).In the tests at Harvard,New Scientist reports,people with signs of depression performed better at creative task,especially after receiving feedback that was designed to reinforce their low spirits.Although it is old-fashioned to claim that creativity is connected to gloomy moods and a grey outlook on life,all the best works are written by some grim-faced(面孔铁青的)people with a heart full of anxiety.
Richard Yates has written seven novels and two collections of short stories,each more hopelessly miserable(悲催的)than the last.After years of writing about his toothless,drunken mother,his experiences in the second world war and divorces,Yates finally rounds things off in Disturbing the Peace by fictionalizing how a cocktail of alcoholism and psychotropic drugs had him take off his clothes and wander the streets of LA,giving all his money to beggars.it is miserable-but so readable.
So,although the grand majority will never write anything as good as Yates,there is something to be gained from looking on the dark side.In a work environment,for example,discontented people tend to have greater success than those of a sunny nature.It's enough to make a pessimist dissolve into a Cheshire Cat grin(咧嘴笑).

14.In the last 500 years,nothing about people---not their clothes,ideas,or languages---has changed as much as what they eat.The original chocolate(巧克力) drink was made from the seeds of the cocao(可可) tree by South American Indians.The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500's.And although it was very expensive,it quickly became fashionable.In London shops where chocolate drinks were served became important meeting places.Some still exist today.The potato is also from the New World.Around 1600,the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe,where it soon was widely grown.Ireland became so dependent(依赖的) on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the"Potato Famine(土豆荒)"of 1845-1846,and thousands more were forced to emigrate.(移居) to America.
There are many other foods that have traveled from south America to the Old World.But some others went in the opposite direction.Brazil is now the world's largest grower of coffee,and coffee is an important crop in Colombia and other South American countries.But it is native to Ethiopia.It was first made into a drink by Arabs during the 1400's.
 According to an Arabic story,coffee was discovered w hen a goat keeper named Kaldi noticed that his goats were eating the red fruits on a coffee tree.He tried one and experienced the"wide-awake(彻底清醒的)"feeling.One-third of the world's population now starts the day with it.
