Have you felt that you are out of style,either in language,or in ways of expending,or in songs,or even in food and clothing? A kind of culture comes into your life and the world quietly or on a large scale. It has been said that yesterday's cultural icons are on the ash heap today and what's "in" today will be "out" tomorrow. 1 But practically speaking,how does one find time to keep up with all of the trends and changes that take place? I suggest not wasting all of your energy trying！
Allow me to explain. The adolescent years has always been about the process of individuation,separating from parents and becoming an independent adult. Over the past 50 years,youth culture has become more easily identifiable. 2 This makes it difficult for the average parents to keep up. Yet,whatever forms today's youth culture takes,it is important to remember that adolescents use youth culture to express that process―nothing more and nothing less.
Reading a good book on youth culture,periodically thumbing through a magazine marketed to teens or occasionally watching an hour of television programs aimed at teens are all worthy endeavors to keep up with today's youth culture. 3 It is an organization that does an excellent job of watching global youth culture trends that most parents would find difficult to track by themselves.
While keeping track of trends in youth culture throughout the country and the world is good parenting practices,you are supposed to approach them. 4 For instance,it may become trendy on the east coasts for teenage guys to wear Capri pants,but it could also be a trend that never makes it to Sioux Falls. So,if you happen to live in a place that is less trendy by nature,I would not advise that parents spend time preparing against the " Great Capri Pant Invasion". 5
A. So don't let the speeding changes make you lose the directions.
B. Still,changes within youth culture itself are rapid.
C. Keeping up with what's going on at your kids' school just down the road is the most important and practical thing to do.
D. Another great resource is the Center for Parent/Youth Understanding.
E. The youth culture nearly takes the leading part in the gap between young and old.
F. It is wise for parents to be students of youth culture.
G. You should also know what youth culture matters most to you and your kids.

I first heard this story a few years ago from a girl I met in New York. Probably the story is one of those mysterious folk belief that reappear every few years. However,I still like to think that it really does happen,somewhere and sometime.
Three girls and three boys were going to Fort Lauderdale,and when they were boarded the bus,they were carrying sandwiches and wine,dreamed of golden beaches. As the bus past by New Jersey,they began to notice Vingo. He sat in the front of them,dressed in an illfitting suit,his dust face masking his age. He kept chewing the inside of his lips,frozen into silence. Deeply into the night,the bus pulled at a restaurant,and everybody got off except that Vingo. He sat rooting in his seat,and the young people began to wonder about him.

How often have you used brainstorming to solve a problem? Chances are,you've used it at least once,even if you did not realize it. For decades,people have used brainstorming to generate (生成) ideas,and to come up with creative solutions to problems. However,you need to use brainstorming correctly for it to be fully effective. 1 Step 1 ：Prepare the Group First,set up a comfortable meeting environment for the session. Make sure that the room is well lit and that you have the tools,resources,and refreshments that you need.
How much information or preparation does your team need in order to brainstorm solutions? Remember that prep is important,but too much can limit―or even destroy―the freewheeling nature of a brainstorming session.
2 A room full of likeminded people won't generate as many creative ideas as a diverse group,so try to include people from a wide range of disciplines and include people with a variety of different thinking styles.
Step 2 ：Present the Problem Clearly define the problem that you want to solve,and lay out any criteria that you must meet. Make it clear that the meeting's objective is to generate as many ideas as possible.
Give people plenty of quiet time at the start of the session to write down as many of their own ideas as they can. 3 Step 3 ：Guide the Discussion Once everyone has shared their ideas,start a group discussion to develop other people's ideas,and use them to create new ideas. 4 Encourage everyone to contribute and to develop ideas,including the quietest people,and discourage anyone from criticizing ideas.
Share ideas if you have them,but spend your time and energy supporting your team and guiding the discussion.
5 People are most creative when they are enjoying themselves in a relaxing environment.
A. Consider who will attend the meeting.
B. After the brainstorming session,you'll have a lot of ideas.
C. Above all,remember to let everyone have fun while brainstorming.
D. To run a group brainstorming session (会议，会期) effectively,follow these steps.
E. Building on others' ideas is one of the most valuable aspects of group brainstorming.
F. Then,ask them to share their ideas,while giving everyone a fair opportunity to contribute.
G. Make sure that you get a good number of different ideas,and explore individual ideas in detail.

Newspapers and websites are two major new medium in the world today,both of them can provide us with lots of news and information. But they're different in some way.
Newspapers enjoy a longer history and often come out daily with more reliable news and information. They can be carried and read almost somewhere you like. So many people like reading them. But they can only contain texts and photos.
On the other hand,websites are quite new and popular,specially among young people. Websites have not only texts with pictures but also audios and videos,they make stories more interested. What's more,they are updated from time to time. So late news is always seen on websites. And it is not quite convenient for people without a computer is connected to the Internet to get information from websites.

Sometimes,you'd better use pen and paper than open up your mouth to convey just the right emotion. Margaret Shepherd,author of The Art of Civilized Conversation,shares these proper occasions.
* Condolences (吊唁) At first,everything is a blur (模糊不清) for the bereaved (死者的亲友) so it's comforting to have notes to read later at their own pace. I For instance, "I know you're going to be busy with family right now,but in a few weeks,Fm going to call you so we can have coffee together."Then do it.
* 2 An apology is easier to put on paper―you're calmer and you can choose better words and take more care with what you say. Apologize very clearly and don't use weasel words (推诿词) like "I'm sorry if you were upset by me." 3
* Praises If you compliment people to their face,they often feel they should be modest,but a written note can be savored (品味) in private. For example, "I really appreciate your patience as I learn to stop drinking."
氺 4
A request to work on a campaign,help out a fundraiser―put them all on paper to avoid putting people on the spot.
* Thank You Most of us think we're covered if we've verbally thanked someone or sent an email,but if the person put effort into a gathering or a gift,you should put effort into making a thankyou note. I am strongly agreed that people should hand write a thankyou note for a hand cooked dinner rather than call the next day and talk about how fun it was. They just saw you the night before!5
A. And remember to use your pen instead of words always.
B. Finish with something appreciative,such as "Thanks for putting up with me."
C. Make an Offer
D. A Request for Help
E. Give them something to look forward to.
F. Apologies
G. And there isn't a person on earth who doesn't appreciate a thankyou note.
