Parents are probably the closest people in the world to us. However, parent-child relationships are not always easy to deal with. What's worse, now that we live in an information age, the internet is bringing new challenges to family relations.
The China Youth Children Research Center did a survey about such relationships in the United States, Japan, South Korea and China. According to the survey, the use of the Internet has become one of the main reasons for fights between parents and children in China and South Korea. “This shows that some parents consider the internet being a toy instead of a tool," China Youth Daily said. "In addition, they don't have enough trust in their children, so it leads to conflicts sometimes.”
However, the internet can actually improve parent-child relationships if both sides use it the right way. Kim Se-Yeon, a 20-year-old South Korean who goes to college in Beijing, says that she believes the internet has brought her closer to her parents. She taught her parents how to use chat apps and post pictures on social media. Her parents trust her when they found that she can control herself well. These days, she and her parents often chat with each other and make video calls through the internet.
Experts suggest that to reduce your parents' concern about your internet usage, you should show them that you can manage your time well. Children are just as responsible for creating healthy family relationships as their parents are.
1.Which of the following countries DID NOT take part in the survey about parent-child relationship mentioned in the passage?
A.The United State B.South Korea
C.The United Kingdom D.Japan
2.What does the underlined word conflicts mean in the second paragraph?
A.Decisions B.Fights C.Agreement D.Progress
3.Why does the writer mention Kim Se-Yeon as an example
A.Because she goes to college in Beijing
B.Because her parents learn to use chat apps
C.Because the internet didn't play an important role in her daily life
D.Because the internet improves her relationship with her parents
4.According to the passage which statement is NOT true?
A.Children should tell parents that they can manage their time well
B.Children can do nothing to create healthy family relationships
C.If parents have not enough trust in children, problems may appear
D.Parent-child relationships are sometimes difficult to deal with

Parents are the closest people to you in the world. They love you just because you are you. And they would do anything for you.
Like a lot of middle school students, Zhuang Shuxia has a problem. She and her parents don’t get on well.
“I really want to be my daddy’s little girl. But it feels like he just doesn’t understand. He doesn’t listen to me,” said Zhuang, a Junior 3 student in Shijiazhuang, Hebei.
Do you and your parents also have problems? Well, why don’t you all take a walk and have a talk? It’s the International Day of Families on May 15. People around the world give thanks for good things about their families and work on family problems.
A study last year showed that 1,500 Beijing families had the same problem as Zhuang’s family: The children, 12 to 15 years old, didn’t like talking with their parents much. They weren’t happy at home.
But you and your parents will be much happier if you can be friends. Here are some ways to have a good talk with them:
＊Find a good time to talk, like when you’re eating dinner, going out for a walk or watching TV .
＊Tell them something you’re interested in, or ask them about their lives when the young. They love to talk about it.
＊Listen to them carefully, and look at them in the eye.
＊Be honest, and your parents will trust you more. And a trusting family is a happy family.

3.What does the writer suggest the students do if they have problems with their parents?

As China’s influence grows, many students in the US are working hard to learn Chinese. Parents and education experts (专家) in the US think Chinese speakers may have greater chances.
The number of schools that teach Chinese has grown. Ten years ago, only about 300 schools in the US had Chinese lessons. Today, about 1,600 schools teach Chinese.
Lomond Elementary School (小学) in Ohio is one of them. Each week, all students in grades one through five have a one-hour Chinese class. They learn the language through songs, games and lots of talking.
“We’re trying to make students interested in the language,” teacher James told Times for Kids. “We think it’s really important that all children receive these lessons,” he says. “We’d like to do even more.”
“Schools are looking to the future,” says Nancy, a US education expert. “China is becoming a really powerful country. Young people should not only know the language but understand the culture.” Students may not be thinking about the future, but they think learning Chinese language and culture is fun.
“We wish we could go to China one day.” said Karl and his classmate, Walt, from Miami.
More than 40 million foreigners around the world are studying Chinese. About 50,000 people in the US are learning the language. Chinese has become the second most spoken foreign language in the US after Spanish.

According to the World Happiness Report, people who live in Denmark (丹麦) are the happiest in the world. Why? Because they know the secret to happiness—“hygge”. But what is “hygge”？
The Danish (丹麦的) word “hygge” (pronounced “hooga”) is often translated(翻译) in English as “coziness”. But coziness paints only part of the picture. It's also about spending peaceful time in a quiet environment with no calendar. It's about spending time alone or spending time with family.
Danish people are very good at “hygge”. For example, they create a “hygge” environment by burning candles in classrooms, kitchens, bedrooms, etc. According to some reports, Danish people burn more candles every year than people from any other European country.
However, “hygge” isn't just about creating a nice and warm environment; it is best enjoyed with family members and friends.

To many people, pandas are the loveliest animal in the world. However, it's impossible for everyone to hug and play with the cute bears. That is why panda fans gathered at a cafe (咖啡馆) in Chengdu, Sichuan. They stayed with the dogs that look like the lovely bears.
"A relative showed me photos of dogs that look like pandas the other day. I came specially to have a look on my way home after school, said Wang Shuhan, a middle-school student.
The Cute Pet Games cafe opened in September. Covering 300 square meters and accommodating 80 people at most, it does a hot business because of its six panda-like Chow Chow dogs (松狮犬) .
But there is another different voice about animal abuse (虐待) . While the dogs are naturally short and cute, their fur has been coloured black and white to make them look more like China's national symbol.
One of the managers of the cafe, Lyu Yunning, said that the six dogs came from Japan and were coloured black and white before they arrived in China to attract customers. The cafe chose Chow Chow dogs because they are light and quiet.
But the cafe brought a heated online discussion over the treatment of animals when a local newspaper reported that the owner, surnamed Huang, said it had started offering pet colouring services after the panda dogs became a hit. The cost of the dog colouring is 1,500 yuan as the colouring material is from Japan and very expensive, the newspaper reported. It takes trained worker about a day to change a Chow Chow into a "panda", the owner was quoted as saying.
The story led to angry online words from pet owners stressing the possible bad effects of colouring the animals' fur.
However, the manager Lyu said the cafe had never coloured any animal and charged the newspaper with making up an untrue story.
1.What does the underlined word "it" in the third paragraph refer to (指代)?
A.The city. B.The cafe. C.The enough space. D.The lovely dog.
2.What does the phrase "a heated online discussion" in the sixth paragraph mean?
A.Pet colouring services are too expensive for common pet owners.
B.Some people have an opposite opinion on colouring the animals' fur.
C.The cafe invited more and more local people to join in the discussion.
D.Most people in Chengdu would like to share their opinions with others.
3.What can be inferred (推断) from the report?
A.Panda dogs attract more attention of the middle-school students.
B.Both the manager and the owner of the cafe made up the untrue story.
C.We don't know whether the cafe has coloured any animal or not before. .
D.Most of the pet owners in Chengdu would like to colour their own dogs
