4.It was a secret Eli kept until he was 8years old.
"He would scream,like we were hurting him when we tried to put a skirt on him."recalled Grace,his mother.That was when Eli was an 18-month-old baby girl already rejecting anything female.
Now,Eli's mother and Eli are sharing their story with CBS New York.Eli still remembers being a baby,and rejecting putting on a dress."Oh,I remember that,"he said."It was like torture."Now Eli is 11years old.He is,by all accounts,a happy,active boy who never doubted he was born the wrong sex.Eli said to CBS New York.It was hard to keep that secret for 8years though,"It was kind of hard because I hadn't really told anyone ever,"he said.
"He said,‘I have a secret,and the secret is I don't want to be a girl.I think I'm a boy,'"Grace recalled."…I thought,‘I don't know what we're going to do,but we're going to figure it out.'"
CBS New York reports that it was a less clear path for Ryan,now a 21-year-old man.He,too,was born female,but never felt like one.
He didn't understand his feelings at the time.Then he learned about what it meant to be transgender on the Internet,and it began to make sense."It was a relief to know what exactly I was or am,"he said.
Ryan's mother said at first it was hard to accept."It's a scary thing to think about,"she said.But she came around."I was glad my son is able to become the person he needed to be,"she said.
Experts say the kind of family support both Ryan and Eli are getting is of great significance.Without it,many transgender kids suffer from anxiety,depression and high rates of suicide.
"We see a lot of kids with a lot of mental health concerns,and we also see that those mental health concerns really reduced when the family is on board,"said Jean Malpas of Ackerman Institute for the Family,a non-profit research organization to CBS New York.
Grace said for her it went from a situation that felt really confusing and difficult to one that she now celebrates."We feel so lucky to have him."she said.

8.The living is easy in the summertime.School is out and the weather is great.For many Americans,this is the season to travel.
Throughout their history,Americans have been people on the move.The early comers had to travel to get to the New World.Once they arrived,they settled along the East Coast.But they weren't satisfied to stay there.Explorers and traders journeyed to the unknown western territories (边界).Later,settlers moved west to develop these new areas.As a result of this westward movement,Americans finally controlled the whole continent-from the Atlantic to the Pacific.Even today,Americans seem unable to stay put.Research says that the average American moves every five years.
Besides their habit of changing addresses,Americans are used to traveling.Their jobs may even require them to take frequent business trips.Most companies provide an annual (一年一次的) vacation for their employees,and people often use that time to travel.Camping out in the great outdoors is attractive to adventurous types.Some travel in comfortable vehicles to camp out in comfort,while others"rough it"by sleeping in tents.
Most Americans prefer to travel within their nation's borders.Why?For one thing,it's cheaper than traveling abr oad,and there's no language problem.But besides that,the vast American territory offers many tourist attractions.Nature lovers can enjoy beaches,mountains,canyons,lakes and a wealth of natural wonders.Major cities offer visitors plenty of urban delights.The convenience of modern freeways,railways and airplanes makes travel in America as easy as pie.
Many American vacations are as unique as the people who take them.History lovers seek out famous historical sites and museums.Environmentalists prefer"green vacations".Others hit the water to go fishing,skiing or white-water rafting.Daring souls go for safaris (游猎) in faraway places from Africa to Asia.
