family home for a while. Many parents will say no to this demand. But experts say it might be a good idea
to let your teens live with a friend or relative.
"It was the break I need at the time," said Richant Lerner. He is talking about the time he spent living
with grandmother when he was 15.
"It allowed me to be a different person than I was with my parents," Lerner said. He now heads the
Institute (学会)for Children, Youth and Families at Michigan State University. Experts say teens living away
from their families can test new ways of thinking and getting along with people. They may see new solutions
to problems.
This is different from running away, the experts stress (强调). Runaways are often feeing serious
problems.
Some teens who want some time away from family attend a structured summer program. Others live for
a while with a relative or with the family of a friend. If there is a conflict (冲突) at home, having a teen live
elsewhere can benefit other family members. It gives everyone space to develop better relationships.
Joseph Kett teaches history at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. He says living at home until the
late years has become the norm (准则) only in recent times. "In the 17 th century, children were often sent to
live in other people's homes when they were about 10 or 11," he said.

This week, London will be full of celebrations to welcome the Year of the Rat. Every year, London’s Chinatown holds a great event to celebrate Chinese New Year, the largest event outside of Asia.
This year in the UK, there seems to be a huge amount of interest in Chinese culture. For the third year running, the “China in London” season is being held. This extended event will run from February to April, ending in the Olympic torch relay, when the Olympic flame will pass through London on its way to the start of the Beijing Games.
The “China in London” season will incorporate a huge number of events, ranging from art exhibitions to modern dance, film festivals to tea tastings, musical concerts to children’s half-term activities. In addition, another Chinese culture festival, “China Now” is launching at Chinese New Year.
This is a nationwide season of events leading up to the Beijing Olympics. As well as cultural events, this programme includes an education programme for schools to develop relationships with China, and a Football Exchange, where the UK Football Association will be coaching children in China and offering a lucky few the chance to visit Britain on a football tour.
The main Chinese New Year celebration will be held on Sunday 10th February, and is expected to attract around 300,000 visitors. It will showcase both traditional and contemporary Chinese arts, bringing together British-born and Chinese performers.
The most important thing of the day is the grand parade(游行) through the streets of London, led by a traditional dragon dance, followed by musicians, acrobats, artists and children. There will be a large stage and screen in Trafalgar Square featuring(展现) martial arts, music and dance.
It wouldn’t be Chinese New Year without fireworks and firecrackers, so Leicester Square will see displays on the hour all afternoon. Nearby theatres and arts centers will also be holding special New Year events, such as variety shows.
Happy New Year to you, we hope you enjoy your celebrations as much as we will enjoy them in London.

extinction if impact of climate change and extreme weather on their homes is not handled, a UN report
showed on Sunday.
Released during the course of global climate negotiations in Durban, the report by the United Nations
Food and Agriculture Organisation (UNFAO) shows how higher temperatures, the rise in sea levels,
deforestation and overuse of land have damaged the habitats of certain species, especially in Africa.
"Many ecosystems have already been affected by increasing population, historical and recent
deforestation, short-lasting management practices and even invasive species," Eduardo Rojas, assistant
director general at the UNFAO's forestry department, said at the release of the report.
The most affected areas include mountains, islands and coastal areas, which limit the possibilities for
animals to move elsewhere and create new habitats. "The remaining populations are limited to very small
ecosystems. They have inbreeding (近亲繁殖) problems.., and at the end these species may disappear,"
he added.
Other examples of affected animals include elephants in Mall, lions in Serengeti and crocodiles in
Malawi. The report says about 20~30 percent of plant and animal species will be at higher risk of
extinction due to global warming and a significant number of local species may disappear by 2050 as a
consequence. Other consequences could include the spread of invasive species and infectious diseases,
it said.
The report urges more focus on restoration of damaged ecosystems, especially those key to dealing
with climate change such as inland waters, forests and grasslands. The UNFAO also called for the
creation of movement channels for animals in areas where their movement was affected. The organization
said while more resources (资源) were flowing to biodiversity conservation, more action at th
government and policy level was needed. It also urges local communities to develop projects that ease
the effect of climate change on wildlife, naming ecotourism activities as an example.
B. The subject of research done by Eduardo Rojas.
C. Harmful effects of damage done to ecosystems.
D. Causes of damage done to ecosystems.
B. They have difficulty finding enough food for survival.
C. They have little chance of moving to other places.
D. They can hardly find mates to produce their young.
EXCEPT ______.
B. limiting world population growth
C. creating movement channels for animals
D. urging governments and local communities to take action
B. Human activities and the animal kingdom
C. Gorillas, tigers at risk due to climate change
D. How to balance human development and animal rights
