1、   Do you “worship” your parents?

After I came to China, I started hearing the word “xiaoshun” a lot. It is often translated into English as “filial piety”. However, I think the translation “parent worship” is easier to understand. The basic idea behind “parent worship” is that children should always listen to their parents and do everything they can to make their parents happy.

I think many Chinese people I know would agree with the idea. I guess it is a nice idea, in theory（理论上）. But I also have some Chinese friends who would disagree.This is because they have had to do things they didn’t want to, just because their parents told them to_______For example, one of my good friends had to break up with her boyfriend because her parents thought he didn’t make enough money. “孝顺”似乎有时候也是不公平的。

Most kids in the US, especially teenagers, would probably disagree with “parent worship”, too. In fact, arguing with one’s parents and being rebellious (叛逆的) is common for US teens. 我经常与我的父母就家规进行争论，而且我也不总是遵守那些规矩。

I think the best way is somewhere in the middle. Most, if not all of us, love our parents and try our best to respect（尊重） them. So of course we should follow their rules and try not to stress them out (使紧张). On the other hand, parents should respect their kids as well and give them some reasonable freedom and independence.

24、   The Eiffel Tower is the most famous building in France, and it's also famous worldwide as a symbol of France.

The Eiffel Tower was named after Gustave Eiffel, whose company designed the tower. It was built to be the main entryway for the World Expo in 1889, to celebrate 100 years since the French Revolution. The Eiffel Tower was built from 1887 to 1889. It was the tallest building in the world after it was finished, twice the size of the second tallest building in the world at that time. It was the tallest building in the world for 41 years from 1889 to 1930. It is 324 meters high.

The Eiffel Tower was opened to visitors on May 6,1889.There are three levels for visitors.

Although there are stairs, they are usually not open to the public.

At night, the tower lights up a bright golden color, so everybody in Paris can see. If you go at night, there will be fewer people---maybe you don't have to wait in line to get to the top. Most people come to visit at daytime and sometimes you need to wait in line for two hours to get to the top. The tower is open year-round until 11:45 pm, with the last admissions at 11 pm.
