Many people say there is a lot more conflict with parents when you're a teenager. This may be because you are changing in so many ways. Parents can sometimes have difficulty coping with all of the changes and can feel uncertain about how to respond.

      As you get older you change and grow in many ways. One of the ways is in how you think. It's a time when you start to think how to understand the world for yourself. Sometimes your values and beliefs can become different from your parents, leading to conflict.

       When you were young it was pretty easy for your parents to end a conflict with you. But now you're bigger and louder. It can seem like there are more arguments because they can be more complex and harder to resolve.

          As you were a young child, your parents were the leaders of the family. As you mature, it becomes a more equal relationship. This change doesn't happen overnight. The process of moving from one type of relationship to another can be a real struggle.

  While you're going from being a child to a teenager, your parents are moving through their life cycle as well. They're going from young adults, to middle aged people. And we're all having our own "age related" problems along the way. Parents can also change their way of handling things.

         It's OK for you to make the first move in dealing with the conflict. When you can work out your differences positively, you'll continue to have a good relationship. Here are a few tips:

●Be respectful when discussing any areas of disagreement.

●Be willing to listen to your parent's view.

●Stay calm.

●Don't blame each other.

●Work together, think about what you want in common and work it out together.

        Use a problem solving model like this one: decide together exactly what the problem is and then think of the possible solutions. Remember to be open and creative so that you can find more solutions. Think out the consequences of each possible solution and choose one to try it out. If it doesn’t work, try another idea.

       The good news is that all the studies indicate that generally things settle down when people are about 18. What they can't agree on is why this gets better. Some say it's because your parents have finally begun to see you as the young adult you are. Some say it's because you've got through all the tough growth in your thinking and emotions and your physical changes. Others say it's just because many young people move out of home around eighteen and get away from their parents!

      As you move through adolescence and into young adulthood, your relationships with your parents seem to getbetter. You’ll realize parents can be your best support. They will support young people through the good times and the bad times.

Title:66 . _____________ to become a better student

As the Internet has become widely used, the online bookstore has gained much popularity with consumers, which have a vital influence on the survival of many private small—and medium—sized physical bookshops, a cultural landmark in the cities in China.

    Apart from a campaign, “saving physical stores”, many Chinese politicians and scholars have also urged the government to adopt measures to prevent bookstores from closing down their businesses, because unlike shops selling other goods, physical bookstores play the important social role of passing down knowledge and culture to younger generations.

    Besides tax cut, the government should also take other measures to support and encourage the development of such bookstores.

    Online bookshops are popular because they offer customers easier access to books, more attractive prices, and delivery service. Readers can buy almost any book sitting at home.

    Physical bookstores have actually become “the exhibition halls” of online bookstores. People read and select books in physical bookstores, and then buy them from online bookstores.

    However, physical bookstores have their own advantages. The physical bookstores make people feel the existence of culture. Entering a bookstore is like absorbing various elements of culture. For example, they offer the choice of feeling a real book rather than just the chance to see the cover and read a few introductory lines.

    But they can also offer lower prices, sales promotions and better service, and organize readers’ club and other activities to attract more booklovers. A citywide delivery service could make it more convenient for readers to buy books from them. Moreover, the physical book stores can make use of new technologies to improve their services, develop their online sales and expand their business.

I am fond of my sister but she has one serious  (1)  . She can be really  (2)  . Although she didn’t know the best way of getting to places, she insisted that she organize the trip properly. Now I know that the proper way is always her way. I kept asking her, “ When are we leaving and when are we coming back ? ” I asked her whether she had looked at a map yet. Of course she hadn’t; my sister doesn’t care about  (3)  . So I told her that the source of the Mekong is in Qinghai Province. She gave me a  (4)  look---the kind that said she would not change her mind. When I told her that our journey would begin at an altitude of more than 5,000 metres, she seemed to be excited about it. When I told her the air would be hard to breathe and it would be very cold, she said it would be an interesting experience. I know my sister well.  (5)  she has made up her mind, nothing can change it.

Throw the bottles and boxes of drugs out of your house. A new theory suggests that medicine could be bad for your health, which should at least come as good news to people who cannot afford to buy expensive medicine. This new theory argues that healing is at our fingertips: we can be healthy by doing Yoga on a regular basis.

Supporters of medical treatment argue that medicine should be trusted since it is effective and scientifically proven. They say that there is no need for spiritual methods such as Yoga. These waste our time, somethingwhich is quite precious in our material world. There is medicine that can kill our pain, x-rays that show us our bones or MRI that scans our brain for tumors (肿瘤).

We must admit that these methods are very effective in the examples that they provide. However, there are some “everyday complaints” such as back pains, headaches, insomnia, which are treated currently with medicine. When you have a headache, you take an Aspirin; when you cannot sleep, you take Xanax without thinking of the side effects of these. When you use these pills for a long period, you become addicted to them; you cannot sleep without them. We pay huge amounts of money and become addicted instead of getting better. How about a safer and more economical way of healing? When doing Yoga, you do not need anything except your energy so it is very economical. Itspopularityhas spread particularly throughout America and Western Europe. In quantum (量子) physics, energy is recognized as the fundamental substance (物质) which the universe consists of. Yoga depends on the energy within our bodies. It is a simple and effective way of restoring the energy flow. There are no side effects and it is scientifically explained.

Opponents of alternative healing methods also claim that serious illnesses such as HIV/AIDS and cancer cannot be treated without drugs. They think so because these patients spend the rest of their lives in the hospital taking medicine. How can Yoga make these people healthy again? It is very unfortunate that these patients have to live in the hospital losing their hair because of chemotherapy (化疗), losing weight because of the side effects of the medicine they take. Actually, it is common knowledge that except for when the cancer is recognized at an early stage, drugs also cannot treat AIDS or cancer. Most of the medicines these patients use are to ease their pain and their sufferings. Instead of drugs which are expensive and have many side effects, you can use your energy to overcome the hardships of life, find an emotional balance, leave the stress of everyday life and let go of the everyday worries. We should definitely start learning Yoga and avoid illnesses before it is too late.
