Making Peace with Your Parents

As a teen, you’re going through big changes physically and mentally. Your interests are expanding. 71 (结构复现)

Here is the challenge：Kids need to explore the world in new ways, and parents need to protect them from the dangers that all out in that world. These conflicts can easily set off fireworks in otherwise calm houses. Sometimes conflicts can’t be avoided. But by paying attention to the building blocks of successful relationships, you can work towards making home a happy and healthy place for you and your parents.

For instance, try to find a time to talk when your parents are not angry, tired,

distracted, or hungry. A good time to talk is when you’re all relaxed. Timing is everything. If the conversation begins to turn into an argument, you’d better calmly and coolly ask to stop the conversation--for now. 72 Listen to what your parents are saying, and repeat it back to them. This shows them that you’re listening. 73

Respect is the building block of good communication. People who respect each other and care about each others’ feelings call disagree without things getting ugly.

74 How do you build trust? Trust comes by actually doing what you say you’re going to do. Some teens find that doing fun activities with their parents can improve their relationships. Sometimes we forget that parents are more than rule-makers--they’re interesting people who like to watch movies. And go shopping--just like their teenagers!

What do you do if you are trying your best, but your relationship with your parents continues to be rocky? 75 You can find supportive adults, such as a teacher or a coach, who can lend an ear.

Remember you can only change your own behavior. Your parents are the only ones who can change theirs.

A．It also gives them a chance to clear things up if you’re not on the same page.

B．You can pick it up again when everyone’s more relaxed.

C．And then you’ll be able to accept what your parents say.

D．Faced with the challenge, children don’t know what to do.

E．You are more likely to get along with your parents and have more independence if your parents believe in you.

F．And your desire to take control of your own life is growing.

G．You may consider seeking outside help.

71 People traveled in search of food and shelter or in order to flee from their enemies. Sometimes they were looking for gold or silver in order to become rich. On other occasions they were searching for rich farmland.

This is not to say that no one ever traveled just for fun. Even in ancient times, some pleasure travel occurred. During a typical season, 700,000 tourists would

crowd into the ancient city of Rome, where animals performed and magicians entertained them. 72

73 International tourist arrivals alone reached as many as 6 million in 1994 and are forecast to rise to 937 million in 2010, according to the World Trade Organization.

74 Probably the most common reason for traveling is related to our physical well – being. Actually, traveling to sports events is one of the fastest growing types of travel. In our fast developing society where stress has become part of people’s life, people can rest and relax by having a change of environment and activities.

75 No one seems to doubt that travel broadens the mind. In 18 th century Europe, young men would go on a Grand Tour to various countries in order to complete their education. Today the desire to travel to different countries is encouraged by modern mass media. People who travel to other counters can at the same time learn more about their own country and culture.

A．But why do people like traveling so much?

B．Throughout history, most travel was not for pleasure.

C．So they travel to a lake for a swim or to a park for a hike.

D．The improvement in transportation has also encouraged people to travel

E．Pending

F．The growth of tourism has become a modern phenomenon experienced by all countries in the world.

G．Another important reason for traveling is to satisfy our curiosity about different places and cultures.

Warren Buffett

For someone who is such a successful investor, Warren Buffett comes off as a pretty ordinary

guy. He was born on August 30, 1930. 71 He used to go door-to-door and sell soda water. When his family moved to Washington, Buffett became a paperboy

for The Washington Post. Buffett ran his five paper routes and even added magazines to round out his product offerings. While still in school, he was making $175 a month, a full-time wag for many men.

72 He spent $1,200 on 40 acres of farmland in Nebraska. He and a friend also made $50 a week by placing pinball machines in barber shops. They called their venture（企业）Wilson Coin Operated Machine Co.

already a successful small-time businessman, Buffett wasn’t interested in going to college but ended up at the University of Pennsylvania-his father encouraged him to go. 73 But he was turned down in what had to be one of the worst admission decisions in Harvard history. The outcome affected Buffett’s life, for he ended up attending Columbia Business School, where he studied under Professor Benjamin Graham, the father of securities analysis who provided the foundation （基础）for Buffett’s investment strategy.

From the beginning, Buffett made his fortune from investing. He started with all the money he had made from selling soda water, delivering papers, and operating pinball machines. Between 1950 and 1956, he grew his $9,800 to $14,000. 74 And then he gradually drew in other investors through word of mouth and very attractive terms.

75 He doesn’t collect houses or cars or works of art, and he disdains（鄙视）companies that waste money on expensive ears, private dining rooms, and high-priced real villas. He is a creature of habit-same house, same office, same city,

same soda water.

A．Then Buffett applied to Harvard Business School.

B．Buffett is more likely to be found in a four star restaurant.

C．When he was 14, Buffett still kept great interest in investment.

D．Even as a young child, Buffett was serious about making money.

E．One thing is for sure about Buffett: he is happy doing what he is doing.

F．Buffett’s investment strategy mirrors his lifestyle and his overall philosophy.

G．From there, he organized investment partnerships with his family and friends.
