1、 Li Fang used to be an easy-going (随和的) girl. 1.她几乎不跟她的父母争吵。 But when she became a ninth-grader, things started to change. “We often have arguments, sometimes because of some little things, ”she said.
A study shows that the lack (缺乏) of support from parents makes things even worse. Li Fang said sadly, “2.The exams in Grade Nine are more difficult. So I’m under great pressure. But my parents push me too hard. They don’t support me at all”.
As ninth-graders enter the rebellious phase (叛逆期), 3.他们想要有他们自己的主意。 They try to make their parents agree with them. For example, Li Fang thinks there is nothing wrong with playing with boys, but her parents disagree.
4.To deal with these problems, experts gave some useful advice. Keep trying to talk with your parents though sometimes you may not understand each other. 5.Pay more attention to the changes in your body. Then try to accept them and control your feelings.

24、
During Beijing’s two sessions (两会), many proposals and suggestions were referred to. Here are three problems that might interest you. | |
Smartphone ban (禁止) | According to the survey made last year, 68.1 percent of Chinese school students have their own smartphones. Lei Yanqin, a deputy of NPC, suggested that smartphones should be banned at schools nationwide. She said that listening to music and playing games in class not only disturb teachers, but also make it difficult for students to listen carefully. She added that students might also show off (炫耀) their phones too much. |
New uniform designs | Most junior high schools in China require students to wear a uniform. However, only three in ten students are satisfied with their uniforms, as they think they are old-fashioned and of poor quality, China Education Daily reported. The Revolutionary Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang Central Committee suggested that the uniforms could be redesigned. The committee said the new design could include more elements (元素) of traditional Chinese culture. They added that better quality clothing should be used to make the uniforms so that they will be more comfortable to wear. |
Video game rating system | Over 200 million teenagers across China play online games like King of Glory, Guangming Daily reported. With their computers and ipads, teenagers are able to play most online games produced in China and abroad. However, some violent games might not be suitable for young people. Many NPC deputies suggested that a rating system (分级制度) for online games should be introduced. All games would be sorted into age groups according to their content. Players would have to provide their ID numbers before playing certain games. |

25、Mark Twain is someone Americans are taught to love. Older relatives, English teachers and the media always praise him. But when you actually take the time to read The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, you find that his work is more wonderful than you could ever imagine.
The novel describes a young boy named Tom Sawyer growing up in a small town along the Mississippi River. He explores the countryside on a riverboat with his friends, falls in love with girls, starts secret clubs and searches for treasure. Twain’s idea of childhood is magical – a time of imagination, wonder and, of course, adventure.
More importantly, through the eyes of Tom Sawyer, Twain cleverly makes fun of US culture. For example, Tom hates going to church, and Twain uses scenes of Tom there to mock religion and its old traditions.
Twain’s writing is full of these kinds of critical (批判的) points about culture and politics. That’s why he is so loved in the US – he wasn’t afraid to state his opinions, and he did so clearly.
He also believed strongly in women’s right to vote in elections and gave a famous speech on the subject, called “Votes for Women”, in 1901.
