Parents and the Young
It is natural that young people are often uncomfortable being with their parents. They say that their parents don’t understand them. 1. And they tend to feel that their parents are too serious and too strict with their children, seldom giving their children a free hand.
Parents often find it difficult to win their children’s trust. And they always forget how they themselves felt when young. 2. It is one of their ways to show that they have grown up. But older people worry more easily; most of them plan things ahead.
Young people often make their parents angry with their choice in clothes, in entertainment and in music. 3. 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, which makes their parents worried and upset.
Sometimes you are so proud of yourself that you do not want your parents say “yes” to what you do. 4. It is natural enough, after being a child for so many years, when you were completely under your parents’ control.
5. When 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.
A. So how should you understand that?
B. But they do not mean to cause any trouble.
C. All you want is to be left alone and do what you like.
D. If you plan to handle your life, try to win your parents over.

It is natural for young people to blame their parents for most of the misunderstandings between them. They have always complained (抱怨), more or less justly, that their parents are out of touch with modern ways;that they always want to control them; that they do not trust them to deal with problems; and that they have no sense of humor, at least in parent-child relationships.
Young people often irritate their parents with their choices in clothes, hairstyles, and music. Actually this is not what they really intend to do.They feel cut off from the adult world into which they have not yet been accepted. So they create a culture and society of their own. Then, if it turns out that their music or clothes or hairstyles make their parent angry, this gives them additional enjoyment. They feel they are better,at least in a small way, and that they are leaders in style and taste.
Sometimes you do not obey orders,and are proud because you do not want your parents to say yes to what you do. If they do, it looks as if you are unfaithful to your own age group. But in that case, you will probably think that you are the underdog: you can’t win but at least you can keep your honor. This is a passive way of looking at things. It is natural enough after long years of childhood, when you were completely under your parent’s control. If you plan to control your life,co-operation can be part of that plan. You can persuade others, especially your parents, into doing things the way you want. Get them to feel your sense of responsibility (责任) and initiative (进取心) so that they will allow you to do what you want to do.
1. The first paragraph is mainly about ______.
A.children’s complaints about their parents
B.misunderstandings between children and their parents
C.the control of the parents over their children
D.children’s ability to deal with problems
2. The underlined word “irritate” in this passage is closest in meaning to “______”.
A. to make someone excited B. to make someone angry
C. to please someone D. to comfort someone
3. Children choose to have certain strange clothes and hairstyles because they ______.
A. want to show their existence by creating a culture of their own
B. have a strong desire to be leaders in style and taste
C. have no other way to enjoy themselves better
D. want to make their parents angry
4. Children do not want their parents to say yes to whatever they do because they ______.
A. have already been accepted into the adult world
B. feel that they are better in a small way than the adults
C. are not likely to win over the adults
D. have a desire to be independent

There is one language that is used in every country in the world. The people who use it are young and old, short and tall, thin and fat. It is everybody’s second language. It is easy to understand, although you can’t hear it. It is sign(手势) language.
When you wave to a friend who is across the street, you are using sign language. When you smile at someone, you are saying, “I want to be friendly”, but you are not using speech. You are using body language. When you raise your hand in class, you are saying, “Please ask me. I think I know the correct answer.”
Babies who can’t talk can point at things. They are using sign language. A policeman who wants to stop traffic holds up his hands. He is using sign language.
Many years ago, a French priest, Charles Michel de Epee, became interested in education for deaf people. He invented a finger alphabet (字母表). It is still in use. People can make the sign(手势) for letters and spell words with their hands, and deaf people can read and understand them. Soon there were schools for the deaf in many countries. The only university for the deaf is Gallaudet College in Washington, D.C.
Today, in the United States, there are special TV news programs for deaf people. The newsreader tells the news in sign language. At the same time, the words appear on the TV screen.
The actors in the Theatre of Deaf don’t spell every word. Sometimes they use hand signs. When they put two hands together, it means sandwich. They can make a roof with their hands when they want to show a house. One finger in front of an actor’s mouth can mean quiet. You can talk to people who are behind windows that are closed.

One of the most popular and enduring myths about depression is that depressed people are sad all the time—and that by extension, people who are happy can’t be experiencing depression, even if they say they are. It is a mistaken version of depression. Depression doesn’t make you sad all the time.
When I’m having a depressive feeling, I’m not walking around in black clothes, and weeping. I go out with friends. I play jokes. I keep working, and have friendly chats with the people I work with. I read books. Above all, I experience moments of happiness. Yet I feel a strange conflicting pressure. On the one hand, I feel like I need to engage in a sort of sadness for people to understand that I really am depressed and that each day is a struggle for me. Because that way I will appear suitably sad, and thus, depressed—and then maybe people will recognize that I’m depressed and perhaps they’ll even offer support and assistance.
On the other hand, I feel an extreme pressure to perform just the opposite, because sad depressed people are boring and no fun, as I am continually reminded every time I speak openly about depression or express feelings of sadness and frustration. I’m caught in a trap where if I don’t perform sadness, I’m not really depressed, but if I express sadness at all to any degree, I’m annoying and boring and should stop being so self-centered. Depression can become your master, but you can slip out from under it occasionally. And many depressed people don’t actually spend it fainting dramatically on the couch and talking about how miserable they are.
1.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Sad people are always depressed.
B. Depressed people are sad all the time.
C. Happy people will never feel depressed.
D. Depressed people do not always feel sad.
2.When feeling depressed, the writer usually avoids ________.
A. expressing sad feelings straight
B. going out with friends and relatives
C. having friendly chats with colleagues
D. experiencing moments of happiness
3.What’s the writer’s attitude to being sad and depressed?
A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Indifferent. D. Cold.
4.In the passage, the writer advises depressed people to ________.
A. speak openly about depression
B. hide the depression in the heart and never express it
C. be optimistic and become the master of depression
D. lie on the couch and talk about how depressed they are

With the development of society, it is common that many people are rushing all the way and all day, tired and sub-healthy.1. She described all the things she had to do--- one was to make her bed ---from the moment she woke up until she flew out of the door for work. I suggested she experiment by not making her bed for two weeks. She was shocked, probably thinking I’d been brought up by wolves in a forest.2.
Two weeks later she went into my office merrily. She had left her bed unmade for the first time in 42 years--- and nothing bad had happened. “And you know what?” she said. “I don’t dry my dishes anymore, either.”
3. One was discovering that she had choices in her life that she had never seen before. The other was giving herself permission to be less than perfect. This story shows an important principle about managing time: no one can do it all. Each of us has to make choices and accept trade-offs(利弊权衡). The problem is that many people choose in ways that put themselves and their health last. They take better care of their houses and cars than they do of themselves.4.
So what is the solution? There’s an easy way. Decide what you want in your life, and put that first. On a daily basis, that should include regular meals, enough sleep and time with your family. Exercise, leisure, friendships and hobbies should also be regular aspects of life. 5. The choice is yours: whatever makes you feel good about yourself and your life. Take a nap. Take a walk. Take time to play the piano. Stop bringing your briefcase home from the office. Stop keeping your house as clean as your mother kept hers. Fill more of your time with want-to-dos instead of have-to-dos.
A. Most people do not take time to relax themselves.
B. The point is to do something for yourself every day.
C. This woman had made two major breakthroughs.
D. A patient came to see me about the stress in her life.
E. Above all, you needn’t do anything for yourself regularly
