Over the last few centuries， there have been many changes in our lives.

To start with， people were not able to travel such a long distance in such a short time in the past. Planes were not very popular at that time because they used to be a very expensive way to travel. Nowadays， we have fast， comfortable cars， and more and more people can travel by plane.

Secondly， in the past， people had to work much harder because they did not have the tools that we have today. Today， most of the difficult and dangerous work is done by computers and machines.

Thirdly， in the past， the living conditions were not as good as they are now. There were no bathrooms or running water in many houses， and people could not buy lots of things like fridges， TV sets or washing machines. Now， most families have several of these things.

Finally， nowadays， more and more people have the chance to get a good education. In the past， there were fewer schools and the quality of education was much poorer. Also， it is much easier to find the educational materials that you need on the Internet now.

The scientific and technological development in the world is amazing. Life now is much faster and busier than it used to be. And we are still creating new things to make our lives better and easier.

Some students, parents and teachers in Shanghai were surveyed last month. According to the result of the survey, the generation gap (代沟) between students and parents as well as teachers is becoming wider. Here is what they said.

Voice of the students:

“Our parents hold too high expectations（期待）which put us under lots of pressure（压力. They care too much about our lives and studies,” one student said.

“It’s impolite that some students’ parents read their children’s diaries without permission!”one student said angrily.

“Some of our teachers are so serious that we can’t make friends with them at all,” another student said sadly.

Voice of the parents:

One mother said, “After school, my daughter usually locks herself into her room and spends lots of time talking with others on the phone. And I can’t stand her clothes and hairstyle!”

“I thought my son was doing very well in his studies. I didn’t realize I was being cheated (欺骗)by him until I got a call from his teacher,” said a father.

Voice of the teachers:

An English teacher said, “Today, the role of the teacher is to put knowledge into students’ brain. The power teachers have kept students away from them.”

“Some parents pay too much attention to their children’s grades. They never create a lively and colorful environment at home,” another teacher said.

“In the past, teachers and students often played games together or talked with each other. Today, only studies and grades are talked about,” said a teacher.

Voice of scientists:

Scientists say that a school should be a place where students can learn not only knowledge, but also how to face failure bravely enough.

The problem of debt(债务) among teenagers in Western countries is becoming worse and worse. Aren’t they following their parents’ advice, or aren’t the parents teaching their children about money? Here is some advice that children as young as eight or nine can understand.

First of all, you should learn to save before you buy. When you receive money, you should save some of it, maybe 30%. After this, spend what you want.

Secondly, you’d better watch your money. Don’t trust other people with it. Don’t lend money and don’t try to buy friends. If friends want your money, they aren’t real friends.

Another piece of advice is to buy only what you can buy. If that iPad or iPhone costs more than you have, then you don’t need it. Don’t borrow money for it, either. If you really want something, you can save for it. Also, after you have saved up enough money, you may understand you don’t really want it after all.

Finally, you should not compare(比较) what you have with what your friends have. Your friend may have an expensive iPad. However, your friend may borrow it or pay for it with borrowed money.

There is an old saying: “Give a person a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a person how to fish, and he will eat for the rest of his life.” This is also true when we teach our children about money. Don’t buy everything your children want. If you teach them good habits, they will always look after their money.

New Energy (能源) in the Twenty-first Century

Energy from the wind

All over the world, people use wind power. It is a clean source of energy, and there is lots of it. However, if the wind does not blow, there is no wind energy.

Energy from the water

When water moves from a higher place to a lower place, it has the power to make electricity (电). In Brittany, waterpower produces enough energy to power a town of 40, 000 people. Waterpower gives energy without pollution. However, people have to build dams to use this energy, and building dams is very expensive.

Energy from the earth

There is heat in the rocks under the earth. Scientists use the heat to make geothermal energy. San Francisco gets half of the energy it needs from geothermal power. This kind of energy is cheap, but it is only possible in a few places in the world.

Energy from the sun

Solar panels (太阳能电板) on the roofs of houses and buildings can turn energy from the sun into electricity. These panels can create enough energy to heat the whole house during winter. Solar power is clean and plentiful, but when the weather is bad, it can’t produce power.

Cindy, Jerry and Mary are giving their opinions about a good friend.

Cindy: I think a good friend should be honest(诚实的). That’s more important than any other thing and is where a good friendship starts. If a friend isn’t honest, he may lose his friends’ trust.

Jerry: I think a good friend has to be generous. Here “generous” doesn’t mean he has to give his friends his lunch money or his clothes. It means he should share(分享) his ideas and feelings with his friends. In fact, his friends can know him better in this way.

Mary: In my opinion a good friend should understand(理解) his friends. When there’s something wrong between him and his friends, he must put himself in his friends’ place and think more for his friends.
