Making Peace with Your Parents
As a teen, you are going through big changes physically and mentally. Your interests are expanding(增加;扩大) .
Here is the challenge: Kids need to explore the world in new ways, and parents need to protect them from the dangers that are all out in that world. These conflicts(冲突)can easily set off fireworks in otherwise calm house. Sometimes conflicts can't be avoided. But by paying attention to the building blocks of successful relationships, you can work towards making home a happy and healthy place for you and your parents.
For instance, try to find a time to talk when your parents are not angry, tired, distracted , or hungry. A good time to talk is when you are all relaxed. Timing is everything. If the conversation begins to turn into an argument, you'd better calmly and coolly ask to stop the conversation----for now. Listen to what your parents are saying, and repeat it back to them. This shows them that you're listening. .
Respect is the building block of good communication. People who respect each other and care about each other's feelings can disagree without getting things ugly.
How do you build trust? Trust comes by actually doing what you say you're going to do. Some teens find that doing fun activities with their parents can improve their relationships. Sometimes we forget that parents are more than rule-makers----they're interesting people who like to watch movies and go shopping----just like their teenagers!
What do you do if you are trying your best, but your relationship with your parents continues to be rocky(难以维持的;不稳定的)? You can find supportive adults, such as a teacher or a coach, who can lead an ear.
Remember you can only change your own behavior. Your parents are the only ones who can change theirs.
A. It also gives them a chance to clear things up if you're not on the same page.
B. You can pick it up again when everyone's more relaxed.
C. And then you will be able to accept what your parents say.
D. Faced with the challenge, children don't know what to do.
E. You are more likely to get along with your parents and have more independence if your parents believe in you.
F. And your desire to take control of your own life is growing.
G. You may consider seeking outside help.

Many facts suggest that children are overweight (超重的) and the situation is getting worse, according to the doctors. I feel there are a number of reasons for this.
Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy less take-away food.
There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives.
There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime (消遣), it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food. What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.
The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.
(1)According to the text, what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food?
A.Those who often take exercise.
B.Those who often watch television.
C.Those who often have meals at home.
D.Those who often walk to school.
(2)What is one reason that children become overweight?
A.Children can' t choose what to eat.
B.Children are too busy to go out and play.
C.Children's parents often cook meals for them.
D.There are too many fast food shops around.
(3)What does the underlined word “steering” in the last sentence most probably mean?
A.Forcing.
B.Guiding.
C.Driving.
D.Moving.
(4)What' s the main purpose of the text?
A.To tell a story.
B.To provide facts.
C.To give advice.
D.To compare opinions.

You might think that “global warming” means nothing more than a rise in the world's temperature. But rising sea levels caused by it have resulted in the first evacuation (撤离) of an island nation, the citizens of Tuvalu will have to leave their homeland.
During the 20th century, sea level rose 8~12 inches. As a result, Tuvalu has experienced lowland flooding of salt water that has polluted the country's drinking water.
Paani Laupepa, a Tuvaluan government official, reported to the Earth Policy Institute that the nation suffered an unusually high number of fierce storms in the past ten years. Many scientists connect higher surface water temperatures resulting from global warming to greater and more damaging storms.
Laupepa expressed dissatisfaction with the United States for refusing to sign the Kyoto Protocol, an international agreement calling for industrialized nations to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions (排放), which are a main cause of global warming. “By refusing to sign the agreement, the US has effectively taken away the freedom of future generations of Tuvaluans to live where their forefathers have lived for thousands of years.” Laupepa told the BBC.
Tuvalu has asked Australia and New Zealand to allow the gradual move of its people to both countries.
Tuvalu is not the only country that is vulnerable (易受影响的) to rising sea levels. Maumoon Gayoon, president of the Maldives, told the United Nations that global warming has made his country of 311,000 an “endangered nation”.
(1)What is the text mainly about?
A.Rapid changes in earth's temperature.
B.Bad effects of global warming.
C.A country moving to a new place.
D.Reasons for lowland flooding.
(2)According to scientists, what is the direct cause of more and fiercer storms?
A.Greenhouse gas emissions in industrialized nations.
B.Higher surface water temperatures of the sea.
C.Continuous global warming.
D.Rising sea levels.
(3)Laupepa was not satisfied with the United States because it did not ________.
A.agree to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions
B.believe the problems facing Tuvalu were real
C.allow Tuvaluans to move to the US
D.sign an agreement with Tuvalu
(4)The country whose situation is similar to that of Tuvalu is ________.
A.Australia
B.New Zealand
C.the Maldives
D.the United States

Tea drinking was common in China for nearly one thousand years before anyone in Europe had ever heard about tea. People in Britain were much slower in finding out what tea was like, mainly because tea was very expensive. It could not be bought in shops and even those people who could afford to have it sent from Holland did so only because it was a fashionable curiosity. Some of them were not sure how to use it. They thought it was a vegetable and tried cooking the leaves. Then they served them mixed with butter and salt. They soon discovered their mistake but many people used to spread the used tea leaves on bread and give them to their children as sandwiches.
Tea remained scarce and very expensive in England until the ships of the East India Company began to bring it direct from China early in the seventeenth century. During the next few years so much tea came into the country that the price fell and many people could afford to buy it.
At the same time people on the Continent were becoming more and more fond of tea. Until then tea had been drunk without milk in it, but one day a famous French lady named Madame de Sevigne decided to see what tea tasted like when milk was added. She found it so pleasant that she would never again drink it without milk. Because she was such a great lady that her friends thought they must copy everything she did, they also drank their tea with milk in it. Slowly this habit spread until it reached England and today only very few Britons drink tea without milk.
At first, tea was usually drunk after dinner in the evening. No one ever thought of drinking tea in the afternoon until a duchess(公爵夫人)found that a cup of tea and a piece of cake at three or four o'clock stopped her getting “a sinking feeling” as she called it. She invited her friends to have this new meal with her and so, tea-time was born .
(1)This passage mainly discusses.
A.the history of tea drinking in Britain
B.how tea became a popular drink in Britain
C.how the Britons got the habit of drinking tea
D.how tea-time was born
(2)Tea became a popular drink in Britain.
A.in the sixteenth century
B.in the seventeenth century
C.in the eighteenth century
D.in the late seventeenth century
(3)We may infer from the passage that the habit of drinking tea in Britain was mostly due to the influence of .
A.a famous French lady
B.the ancient Chinese
C.the upper(上层的) social class
D.people in Holland
