Nowadays more and more Chinese teenagers find life more difficult without their parents. They don’t know how to do 1.h because their parents do almost everything for them at home. This is a big 2.p .
Joy is 14 years old. Last month her parents went aboard on 3.b , so she had to stay at home alone. At first she thought she would be 4.h when her parents were not in. She could do everything that she liked. 5.B when it was six o’clock in the afternoon, she felt 6.h . “Oh, it’s time to have supper. Where can I get my food?” she said to herself. 7.L she found some food in the fridge, but she didn’t know how to cook. At that moment, she 8.m her parents very much. At last she could only go to the supermarket and bought some food to9.e .
Many teenagers are the same as Joy. So I think they should 10.l some life skills, like cooking, tidying up their rooms or dressing themselves properly. They shouldn’t depend too much on their parents.

The right name is important in the business world. All you have to do is think of the names for some of the products you buy every day and you’ll agree that the name and the product are connected in everyone’s mind.
In many countries, successful trade or brand(商标) names are protected by law so that other companies cannot make the same product by copying. Businesses register(注册) a company or a product name with the government. In fact, more than 1,000 product and company names are registered every hour. Many companies spend a lot of money to find the right name for their products. A good example of this is in the car industry. Some successful names for cars have powerful associations(联系). The Ford Mustang and the Jaguar are only two examples of choosing the names of animals that are fast and strong.
When a U. S company decides to sell its product in another country, it has to make sure that the product name translates(翻译) properly. When Coca-Cola introduced its soft drink to China, it looked for the right name. It wanted a name that would do two things. One was to present its image in Chinese and the second was to be close to its first brand name—Coke. It took some efforts before finding the right word — which sounds similar and translates as “happiness in the mouth”. Asian company names are not new to the United States. The brand names of Samsung and Sony have been successful. Finding the right brand name is a big business. Asian companies that sell to foreign markets pay to find a name that will connect with its customers. There are even naming companies that offer help in inventing product names. These companies can charge up to $100,000 a word for their good names. But it’s worth it. Successful companies know how important the right brand names are for their development.
