parents don"t understand them. They often think that their parents are out of touch with modern ways, that they are too serious and too strict with their children, and that they seldom give their children a free hand.
It is true that parents often find it difficult to win their children"s trust and they tend to forget how they
themselves felt when young. For example, young people like to act on the spot without much thinking. It is one of their ways to show that they have grown up and they can face any difficult situation. Older people worry
more easily. Most of them plan things ahead, at least in the back of their minds, and do not like their plans to
be upset by something unexpected.
When you want your parents to let you do something, you will have better success if you ask before you
really start doing it.
Young people often make their parents angry with their choice in clothes, in entertainment and in music. But
they do not mean to cause any trouble; it is just that they feel cut off from the older people"s world, into which
they have not yet been accepted. That"s why young people want to make a new culture of their own, and if
their parents do not like their music or enter-tainment or clothes or their way of speech, this will make the
young people extremely happy.
Sometimes you are so proud of yourself that you do not want your parents to say,"Yes" to what you do.
All you want is to be left alone and do what you like. It is natural enough, after being a child for so many years, when you were completely under your parents" control.
If you plan to control your life, you"d better win your parents over and try to get them to understand you.
If your parents see that you have a high sense of responsibility, they will certainly give you the right to do what
you want to do.
B. do things without thinking carefully ahead
C. think in the same way as their parents do
D. be very strict with themselves
B. they try to get their parents to believe them
C. they want to try on something new and look different from the older
D. they want to test whether they are cleverer than old people
B. they do not want to get into trouble
C. they feel they are as clever as old people
D. they want to show they have grown up
B. do everything the way his parents do
C. do everything beyond his parents" control
D. hold himself responsible for everything he does

举一反三
a getaway, a short trip to leave the stress of their everyday lives behind and explore, learn, or relax.
Hotel Romance
Many hotels and resorts feature something special to start the getaway, such as champagnes, flowers, or
a fruit basket in the room on arrival. Getaway packages usually include a room with something special, a heart
shaped bed, for example. Additional benefits could be room service meals or other private dining, plus tickets
or discounts for local attractions.
Visit a Spa
Spa getaway can take place at a location that focuses only on spa services or at a hotel that offers a spa as
one of its features. Some spas emphasize treatments fit for their geographic area or a local attraction. A spa in
a grape growing region might provide grape juice masks, or a hotel near a hot spring could offer mineral baths.
Most spas offer a range of massage, health and beauty treatments, so a spa getaway can be relaxing with other
benefits.
Learn a Skill
A long weekend may not be enough time to become an expert at something new, but it provides a way for
people to begin their explorations. Some organizations offer intensive courses that last two or three days. People
with special interests can get away from their routines while learning such things as how to make beer, speak
a new language, or take better photos.
Help Others
Some organizations cooperate with businesses to have accommodations (住宿) and activities for short-term
volunteers. Most volunteer vacations involve ecology friendly or charity activities. A volunteer getaway is a way
to relieve stress and help others at the same time.
Stay in a National Park
For those who want to relax in a rural environment, a national park fits the bill. Most national parks provide
camping areas for tents and trailers. Several have cabins (小屋) within the parks available to rent. A getaway to
a national park provides privacy, stress relief, and the time to get to know some important natural resources.
B. an interesting location
C. a short vacation
D. an unforgettable experience
B. intensive courses of some organizations help people get away from home

Frequently hearing the phrase "thank you" or "well done" means the same to staff as a modest pay rise,
researchers say. Praise and encouragement also makes employees more likely to work hard and stay in
their jobs, saving on the cost of finding replacements.
A third of 1,000 workers surveyed by consulting firm White Water Strategies said they did not get
thanked at all when they did well, and a further third said they were not thanked enough. In both cases,
staff said they felt undervalued, meaning they were less likely to exert themselves and were more likely
to look for employment elsewhere. The net result is around ￡5.2billion in lost productivity from employees
who would raise their game if they felt more appreciated, White Water claimed. According to the company,
praising staff has the same motivational kick as a 1 per cent pay rise-and works out much cheaper for bosses.
Three out of four employees said that regular acknowledgement by their bosses was important to them, but
only a quarter said they were actually given as much praise as they felt they needed. The survey found that
those in blue-collar and manual jobs were less likely to be given any recognition for doing well.
In regional terms, Scottish staff felt most undervalued. Four out of ten workers said they were never
thanked and eight out of ten said they would like more praise. However, workers in the North-East are less
impressed by being buttered up by the boss, as only 69 per cent said they felt the need to be told "well done"
regularly.
Older employees and women need the most reassurance, according to psychologist Averil Leimon, a
director of White Water Strategies. She said that words of praise did more than create a pleasant place to
work-they could even boost profits.
B. British staff felt most undervalued than staff of other counties.
C. White-collar were more likely to be praised than manual jobs.
D. Praise and encouragement can make employees more likely to work hard than stay in their jobs.
B. less likely to be moved by boss" praise
C. less eager for boss" praise
D. more likely to be moved by boss" praise
B. Older female employees.
C. Young female employees.
D. Young female employees.
B. You have to cost no money to become polite.
C. If you are polite, you don"t have to cost anything to get everything.
D. Politeness benefits you a lot.
Then we are frustrated that the kids aren"t old enough and we"ll be more content when they are. After that
we"re frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. we will certainly be happy when they are out of that
stage.
We always tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse (配偶) gets his or her act
together, when we get a nice car, and are able to go on a nice vocation and when we retire. The truth is,
there"s no better time than right now. If not now, when? our life will always be filled with challenges. It"s
best to admit this to ourselves and decide to be happy anyway.
One of my favorite quotes comes from Alfred Souza. He said." for a long time it had seemed to me that
life was about to begin-real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten
through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid.
Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life." This perspective has
helped me to see that there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. So treasure every moment that
you have.
And remember that time waits for no one. So stop waiting until you finish school, until you go back to
school; until you get married, until you get divorced; until you have kids; until you retire; until you get a new
car or home; until spring; until you are born again to decide that there is no better time than right now to be
happy...
Happiness is a journey, not a destination. So, work like you don"t need money, love like you"ve never
been hurt, And dance like no one"s watching.
B. Be Brave to Face the Challenges in Our Life
C. Happiness is A Journey
D. Don"t Wait
a baby, than another?
B. Because we don"t realize treasuring every moment means happiness.
C. Because no one will be happy until he gets married.
D. Because only if we get to a destination, we can lead a happy life.
B. he had to face more obstacles than anyone else
C. the obstacles in life helped him to see what happiness is
D. he realized that there is no way to happiness
B. Will is power,so do what you want to do.
C. A thousand words will not leave so deep an impression as one deed, so do not talk, just do it.
D. So said, so done, so do what you said.

| I believe that my country, Poland, is a perfect example for a place where food is particularly important. When we were little children, we began to understand how much a loaf of bread meant to our parents-to some it might sound silly but for me the custom of kissing bread before you started cutting it was simply amazing. It"s not so common nowadays to treat food that way, since you hardly ever bake your own bread. Besides, everyone would call you crazy if you tried to kiss every bread roll before you ate them! But though we no longer make our food from scratch (起点), some customs have been kept--that"s why I feel so sorry every time I have to throw any food away-even though I no longer live with my parents and nobody would blame me for this anymore! Many people of our nation are still working as farmers, eating what they grow and harvest and therefore enjoying everything more. It"s widely known that you value more anything that needs your effort in the first place. In most homes in Poland, especially those of farmers, the whole family would try and have their meals together--extremely difficult now, but so rewarding (值得)! You can share other members" troubles and successes, give your children some attention, or just sit down for a moment instead of rushing through life aimlessly. Furthermore, your body, and stomach in particular will be very grateful (感激) for such a time! In Poland, a wedding, Christmas or even a birthday is celebrated with a great meal. Women in the house get together and cook, sometimes for a few days before the event, and the extremely good or unusual food will be remembered and widely talked about. You cannot over-value the importance of food in the country. What@^@^@s more, almost everyone in Poland will be as interested in the topic as I am. | |||
