Many arguments teenagers have with their parents are about one thing: independence. As you get older, you’ll want to do more stuff on your own, without your mom and dad tagging along with you. The arguments generally start when your parents think you aren’t ready for extra responsibility while you think you are. Arguing with your parents isn’t the best solution at all, but the best solution is gaining trust from your parents. 1.
●Understand that it’s not your parents who do not want you to have independence, they want the best for you and think you’re not ready or you’ll hurt yourself if you have the freedom to do whatever you want. Show your parents you can be sensible. 2.If you can’t get home by 9:30, they’ll never let you out after 10:00.
●Agree with them some “friends time” and some “family time” so that they know you won’t be spending your whole weekend out with your friends. 3.They won’t imagine you getting into trouble if they know how they are.
●4. They won’t feel much worried letting you go off on your own if they know what you’re up to. Call in and tell your parents that you’re OK from time to time. The less they worry about you, the more independence you’ll gain.
●5.If they find out, all that trust will be destroyed and then you'll never get the extra independence you ever wanted.
A. Show your parents how independent you are.
B. Never lie to your parents about where you’re going.
C. Remember to ask for your parents’ help if you need it.
D. Always tell your parents where you are, and who you’re with.
E. Generally speaking, they won’t be worried about increasing your independence.
F. And before you enjoy the “friends time' introduce your friends to your parents.
G. Agree a time you’ll be home with your parents, and always make sure you keep to it.
A record 6.15 million trips were made by Chinese mainland tourists to overseas destinations during the seven-day Spring Festival holiday, which ended on Thursday, according to the China National Tourism Administration. That is an increase of 7 percent compared with last year’s Spring Festival. About 374,000 trips were organized by travel agencies, a 2.5 percent increase.
The administration also reported growth from individual and high-end (高端的) travelers and said that in addition to top and coastal cities, inland cities—such as those in the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region—became important source markets. With many Chinese now traveling abroad for Spring Festival, their choice of destinations has expanded along with their growing interest in foreign cultures and services.
“Chinese tourists are increasingly willing to experience local culture and services, including staying in private homes, appreciating plants and watching monkeys in hot springs,” Li Xuejing, the agency’s marketing manager, said.
A Chinese tourist surnamed Guo, who was vacationing on an island in the Philippines, said: UI now pay more attention to relaxation and enjoyment during the holidays instead of shopping or choosing gifts for relatives.”
Another choice is Britain. Though the devaluation (货币贬值) of the pound is a factor, Britain’s rich history and famous education tradition have caught the eye of Chinese.
1.How many trips were made to foreign countries during the Golden Week of this Spring Festival holiday?
A. 6,150,000. B. 2,500,000.
C. 7,000,000. D. 374,000.
2.What can we learn about some inland cities in Guangxi?
A. They’re reported to have become important attractions.
B. They’re famous for all kinds of plants and monkeys.
C. They have the best hot spring in the world.
D. They belong to coastal source markets.
3.What would Miss Guo do on her vacation according to the text?
A. Go shopping for gifts.
B. Study foreign cultures.
C. Relax and enjoy herself.
D. Chat with her relatives.
4.Where does the text probably come from?
A. A guide book. B. A newspaper.
