Many teenagers feel that the most important people in their lives are their friends. They believe that their family members, especially their parents, don’t know them as well as their friends do. In a large family, it is quite often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they only go to their friends for getting ideas.

It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or a circle of friends. Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking among them on the phone. This communication is very important in children’s growing up, because they can not discuss something difficult to their family members.

Parents often try to choose their children’s friends for them.Some parents may even stop their children from meeting their good friends: The question of “choice” is an interesting one. Have you ever thought of the following questions?

    Who choose your friends?

Do you choose your friend or your friends choose you?

Have you got a good friend your parents don’t like?

Your answers are welcome.

1.Who know them better than their parents for the teenagers?

2.How do they communicate when the teenagers stay alone?

3.Which of the following sentences is true?

4.What is the meaning for “Your answers are welcome. ”?

5.. Which is the best title of this passage?

Your daughter has finally reached the age of 18, and you think perhaps your job will finally get a little easier. That could be wrong thinking - as the parent of any 18-year-old will tell you.  Learning to cope with an ungrateful 18-year-old daughter takes patience, understanding and time.
_______ When she was a little girl, she wanted you to be involved（参和） in everything of her life from her daily activities to her friends. This is' no longer the case. She's a grown woman who needs her own personal life. Comment（评论） on her choices only when asked to do so - especially if you want to say no to her.
Allow her to make mistakes. No parent wants to see his or her child fall, but the days of protecting her all the time are at an end. Unless（除非） you see a train coming, let her fall when she makes poor choices. It will enable her to grow past the ungrateful "know it all" stage.
Encourage dialogue whenever you can, rather than planning talks. She's more likely to open up to you when talking over something trivial (琐碎的). Anytime she wants to talk, become a willing listener in the conversation. You never know when a deeper, more important conversation will develop.
【小题1】What does the underlined phrase "cope with" mean?

What’s language for？Some people seem to think it’s for practicing grammar rules（规则） and learning lists of words --the longer the lists, the better. That’s wrong. Language is for the exchange of ideas and information. It’s meaningless if you can’t use it freely. Many students I have met know hundreds of grammar rules, but they can’t speak correctly or fluently(流利地). They are afraid of making mistakes. One shouldn’t be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language. Native（本土的） speakers make mistakes and break rules, too. Bernard Saw once wrote, “Foreigners often speak English too correctly.” But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make. They’re English mistakes in the English language. And if enough native speakers break a rule, it is no longer a rule. What used to be wrong becomes right. So Chinese students should pay attention to grammar, but they shouldn’t overdo(做过头)it. They should put communication(交际)first.

1. Language is used to __________ .

A．express oneself

B．practise grammar rules.

C．talk with foreigners only

D．learn lists of words

2. If too many native speakers break a rule,________ .

A．what they use will become right.

B．they are against the law

C．they should say sorry to others.

D．they will become heroes

3. When we speak a foreign language, we should________ .

A．speak in Chinese way

B．speak by the rules

C．speak to native speakers

D．not be afraid of making mistakes

4.What should Chinese students put first?

A．Language         B．Communication     C．Rules             D．Grammar

The students of Class Three are going hiking for their fieldtrip. Hiking is good for people’s health. Many hikers like to hike in the countryside, forest (森林) and mountains. Just walking for fun is the first kind of hiking. Many people like to hike in the parks or just on the sidewalks.

A hike can take a few hours or weeks. For most hiking, people just need clothes and shoes that are good for the weather. At the beginning hikers should start with walks that they can do in one day. As you get stronger, you can go on overnight hikes. Later you can go longer than that. You can make your hiking last (持续) a few days or weeks.

For safety (安全), hikers should hike with someone. You should have one or two friends with you. It is also a good idea to carry a map.

Backpacking is another kind of hiking. People carry food, clothes and other things on their backs in packs. Backpackers can stay many days in the places where there is no food to buy. They carry what they need on their backs.

Now put on your hiking shoes and take a hike.

1.How many kinds of hiking are there in the passage?

2.______ is a good idea for hiking.

3.To walk for fun, many people like to walk ______.

4.The hikers often hike with somebody to ______.
