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.

A.children’s complaints about their parents

Venice, one of the cities in Italy,was founded in A.D.811 by the people of Malamocco, fleeing (逃跑)from the Franks. It was said that they were guided by pigeons carrying little crosses, and settled where now Venice lies.

Venice is built on 117 islands. It has 150 canals and 400 bridges. The narrow streets, with their historic names, are covered with stones,but have no footpaths. They are dotted with flower shop signs and lanterns. Shops and palaces stand by side. The brick bridges are high enough to allow boats to pass freely under them.

The center of public life is St. Mark’s Square where tourists and citizens sit in the famous Florian and Quadri cafes to listen to music, enjoying themselves. The Quadri is more popular but the Florian, founded in 1720, is the best-known cafe because it has received such great persons as Byron (an English poet) and Goethe (a German poet).

Unfortunately the special position of Venice is threatening(威胁)it’s own existence. The terrain(地势)on which it is built began to sink while the level of the surrounding waters is constantly rising. Howe’ver, many measures have already been taken to prevent the city from sinking.

57. In the second paragraph, the author ______.

A. showed up where Venice is         B. told us who built the city of Venice

C. described what Venice is like       D. talked about why Venice is surrounded by waters

Dear Mrs Brown,

We are so glad that you/re coming to join us on Saturday. Here is how you can find us. We’ll have our gathering party in the Central Park. Maybe you’ve been there, haven’t you?

Go straight on when you get out of the school gate and come to the street. Then turn right at the second crossing and you’ll find a hospital. Just opposite it is a No.7 bus stop. Take a bus and get off at the fourth stop. Cental Park is just in front of it. We’ll have our gathering party in a boat on the lake. What a funny thing! Do come on time. We’ll wait for you at the park gate.

Yours,

Li Hong
