When you read a story in English, do you read it for the story 1. for the English language?This is a question which is not so 2.(fool) as it may seem, for I find that many students of English pay 3.(much) attention to the story than to the English. For instance, they care for how the mystery in the story 4.(settle)，but can not tell what preposition(介词)5.(use) before a certain word in the speech of a certain character.
Of course, if you want to know the story only, you need not focus 6.the language. But a student of English is different from a student of stories or what is called the general reader.7. you may also have learned from the above，you ought to read not only very 8.(care) but also aloud till you learn the passage by heart and can recite it as if it were your own. On one hand, this will teach you many useful 9. (word) and phrases; on the other hand, it will help you avoid 10.(make) many mistakes in expression.

A teenager needs to have a sense of independence in their life to feel secure（安全的）. To some teenagers independence means a lot to them, and I think that some parents don’t allow their teenagers enough independence.
Independence has something to do with freedom. Some kids are not allowed to go anywhere alone, and the only thing their schedule includes is going to school, coming home, going to sleep, and repeating the process the next day. Parents tend to be afraid that their kids can get hurt if they go outside into the world. But if parents control their kids too much, they may never learn to live on their own. The best way for a teenager to learn lesson is through experience. I think it is beneficial for teenagers to have freedom.
Teenagers’ lack of freedom can also stop them from having good friendship at school. Some might say this is a good thing, because it helps them focus more on their school work. I argue that this can only discourage them not to do their school work. Some parents do not allow their children to be around their friends outside the school, thinking that this will get them into trouble. But I don’t think so. Instead, isn’t this a good reason for parents to get their children a cellphone? Cellphones allow teenagers to stay in touch with their parents, and communicate with friends.
Privacy is another issue between parents and their teenagers. Teenagers tend to enjoy relaxation by themselves in their own room. This also gives them a sense of independence. It often annoys teenagers when their parents enter their room when they are not home. I know that my mom always goes in my room when I’m not home, and this has brought me to the point where I have asked many times to get a lock on my door.

3.How do teenagers usually feel when their parents enter their rooms in their absence?

C.Angry D.Calm
