Here are some tips on how to talk with your parents.

Try to start your talk with something fun. This will make talking easier. For example, ask your parents questions about their day. How’s work? They  love this!

Make it clear what you want to tell your parents. If they have an opinion, let them finish and don’t disturb. Ask them to do the same for you. Show them respect by listening to them carefully. Look at their eyes sincerely.

Be honest. Honesty builds trust (信任). Life is good when your parents  trust you. If your parents don’t understand, that’s OK. It doesn’t mean they  don’t love you or they’re not trying. Sometimes you have to explain  things to them again or in a different way.

When you finish the talk, thank them for listening. Say something like, “thanks! That helped.” It will let them know this is important to you, and make them want to do it more often.

If you feel there are still things to talk about, set up a time with them to talk about it another day.

When I was a foreign teacher in China, every day I taught English to my students and

they taught me about China. One day the topic mentioned to  saying “I love you”. I was shocked to learn that not one of my students  had said this to their mothers, nor had their mothers said it to them.”

“Does your mom love you?” “Of course,” they answered.

“How do you know?” was my logical question. They responded that their  moms cooked and always told them what they were doing wrong to show their  earning. I was strummed. So mom's cooking and criticizing read us as “I  love you”. “Then how do you say ‘I love you to her?” They agreed that  getting good grades, followed by good jobs would be how they showed their  love.

I come from a culture where most people are expressive enough, so I  repeated these queries in classes over time. Gradually, I began to get  different responses. Some of them had exchanged those sentiments with  their moms.

One of my favorite stories of change came from a girl. When she came home  from university, her mother met her at the door and hugged（拥抱）her.  This had never happened before, but her mom said, “Now that you have gone  I have more time to myself, I noticed that in some places mothers and  children hug each other and I decided it was a good idea and that I would  begin hugging you.”

In my family we all say “I love you” a lot. While it is true that we  often say the words without having great depth of feelings at that moment,  it is almost like a blessing we give each other. Those three little words carry a word of meaning, even when said as a greeting, but most especially  if they are the lax words we say to or hear from those we love.

1. The foreign teacher _________.

A. comes from America    B. is a young woman

C. is expressive enough    D. knows much about China

2. Chinese people prefer to show love by __________.

A. saying “I love you”   B. cooking

A. She is meeting her daughter at the door.

B. She loves her daughter and misses her.

C. She is glad that she has more time to herself.

D. She finds it interesting to hug her daughter.

4. What's the main idea of the passage?

A. Say “I love you” more to your family.

B. Say “I love you” a lot to Chinese people.

C. Say “I love you” as a greeting to others.

D. Say “I love you” without great depth of feelings.

Many Americans have been leaving their cars at home and riding to work  on bicycles. Andy Clark is the leader of the League of American Bicyclists.  His group supports bicycling for fun, fitness and transportation（交通）.Clark says this is good news for the environment. He says riding a bicycle  to work does not burn fossil fuel or creates dangerous pollutions. Experts  say the effects are the most important on short trips. The Department of  Transportation says fifty percent of Americans drive eight kilometers or

fewer to work. Shorter car trips set out more pollution into the air for  each kilometer drive. This is because the car engine will set out the  harmful air when it warms up before it can work well. James, a members of Congress (国会), is a strong supporter of bicycle use.

He says cities, counties, state governments and state highway  transportation agencies are planning the roadways of the future. They are  creating roads and paths for bicycles in cities and between communities.
