Have you felt that you are out of style,either in language,or in ways of expending,or in songs,or even in food and clothing? A kind of culture comes into your life and the world quietly or on a large scale. It has been said that yesterday's cultural icons are on the ash heap today and what's "in" today will be "out" tomorrow. 1 But practically speaking,how does one find time to keep up with all of the trends and changes that take place? I suggest not wasting all of your energy trying！

Allow me to explain. The adolescent years has always been about the process of individuation,separating from parents and becoming an independent adult. Over the past 50 years,youth culture has become more easily identifiable. 2 This makes it difficult for the average parents to keep up. Yet,whatever forms today's youth culture takes,it is important to remember that adolescents use youth culture to express that process―nothing more and nothing less.

Reading a good book on youth culture,periodically thumbing through a magazine marketed to teens or occasionally watching an hour of television programs aimed at teens are all worthy endeavors to keep up with today's youth culture. 3 It is an organization that does an excellent job of watching global youth culture trends that most parents would find difficult to track by themselves.

While keeping track of trends in youth culture throughout the country and the world is good parenting practices,you are supposed to approach them. 4 For instance,it may become trendy on the east coasts for teenage guys to wear Capri pants,but it could also be a trend that never makes it to Sioux Falls. So,if you happen to live in a place that is less trendy by nature,I would not advise that parents spend time preparing against the " Great Capri Pant Invasion". 5

A. So don't let the speeding changes make you lose the directions.

B. Still,changes within youth culture itself are rapid.

C. Keeping up with what's going on at your kids' school just down the road is the most important and practical thing to do.

D. Another great resource is the Center for Parent/Youth Understanding.

E. The youth culture nearly takes the leading part in the gap between young and old.

F. It is wise for parents to be students of youth culture.

G. You should also know what youth culture matters most to you and your kids.

Do you find 1 (get) up in the morning so difficult that it's painful? This might be called laziness,but Dr. Kleitman has a new 2 (explain) . He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.

During the hours when you devote to your work you may say that you're "hot". That's true. The time of day when you feel most 3 ( energy) is when your cycle of body temperature is 4 its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it 5 in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so,but it leads to such familiar monologues (自言自语) as: "Get up,John!You'll be late for work again!" The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature and energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean,and which cycle each member of the family has.

You can't change your energy cycle,but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help. Maybe your're sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay 6 late anyway. Counteract (乂于抗) your cycle to some extent 7 habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day,rise before your usual hour. This won't change your cycle,but you'll get up steam (鼓足干劲) and work better at your low point.

Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before 8 (put) your feet on the floor. 9 (avoid) the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible,do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks 10 (require) more energy of concentration for your sharper hours.

Today I had an ordinary but meaningful birthday. In the beginning of the day,my parents had intended to give me anything as my birthday present. Great to my amazement,they presented a watch to me. I knew they want me to value time and possess a meaningful life. At the noon,I had a great lunch with some good friends of me in a restaurant. Later on,I enjoyed several things. They treated me to a comic movie,giving me a great deal of pleasures. Soon after the film,I made my best wish,blew out the candles,and cut the cake happily with my classmates.

When it comes to celebrate birthdays,gifts are not the most important things. What matters a lot to me is the beloved people spend this day together.
