Young people are often unhappy when they are with their parents. They say that their parents donrt understand them. They often think their parents are too strict with them, and they are never given a free hand.
Parents often find it difficult to win their childrenrs trust() and they seem to forget how they themselves felt when they were young.
For example, young people like to do things without much thinking. Itrs one of their ways to show that they grow up and they can do with any difficult things. Older people worry more easily. Most of them plan (/R) things ahead and donrt like their plans to be changed.
When you want your parents to let you do something, you will have better success (3￤) if you ask before you really start doing it.
Young people often make their parents angry by clothes they want, the music they enjoy and something else. But they donrt mean to cause () any trouble. They just feel that in this way they can be cut off from the old peoplers world and they want to make a new culture (》ˉ) of their own. And if their parents donrt like their music or clothes or their manner of speech, the young people feel very unhappy.
Sometimes you even donrt want your parents to say, "Yes" to what you do. You want to stay at home alone and do what you like.

2. What young people think is different from what older people do.
3. What young people do is to make their parents unhappy.

Yesterday evening, when I went to town with my mother, we met a strange old man. It was raining hard and we had no umbrella (ɡ). We were trying to get into a taxi when he came up to us. He was carrying a nice umbrella and he said that he would give it to us for only a pound. He had forgotten his wallet, he said, needed taxi-fare (3o to go back home. My mother didnrt believe what he had said at first, and asked him a lot of questions. But the old man didnrt get into a taxi. We followed ( u) him and found he went into a pub (С/and bought himself a glass of whiskey (/ with the pound. After he drank it, he put on his hat and took up one of the many wet umbrellas there and went off with the new one. Soon after that, he sold it again.
1. The old man sold an umbrella to the writer and her mother.
2. He gave it to them for only a pound because he had forgotten his wallet and needed taxi fare to go back home.

In 1605, a scientist took a willow branch(x) and planted it. He didnrt plant it in the ground, however. He planted it in a vase of soil(). For the next five years, the scientist watered that willow carefully
The willow grew and grew. Where did it get the food for its growth? To most people, this was an easy question. The willow plant, of course, took the food from the soil
The scientist, however, wanted evidence(/.If the willow took the food from the soil for its growth, then, as it grew and weighed more, the soil ought to weigh less. He weighed the willow branch before he planted it. It weighed five pounds. Then he weighed the soil. It weighed 200 pounds. After five years, he weighed the plant and the soil again. The willow tree weighed 169 pounds, but the soil weighed almost the same
The result(/) was surprising. Where did the 164 pounds come from
After many investigations(μ÷2 the scientist got the answer. He had given water to the willow, and the willow got its food from the water.
He was right, in a way. Today we know more about the question.
1. The scientist did the experiment in the sixteenth century.
2. Most people thought the plant got the food from the soil for its growth.
3. The soil in the vase weighed two hundred pounds.
4. The scientist found that the willow grew and weighed more and the soil weighed less
5. The soil weighed 164 pounds after five years
6. Now we know about the question as much as the scientist did.

Last Sunday I saw the worst stor￡Cin years It came suddenly and went on for more than three hours After lunch, I went into my room to have a rest. The air was hot, and all was quiet
Then strong wind started blowing into my room Pieces of paper on my desk flew high into the air and some flew out of the open window As I ran out to catch them, big drops of rain began to fall.
When I came back into the house, it was raining harder and harder I tried very hard to close the window Then I heard a loud crashin磨μCsound from the back of the house. I ran out of my room to rind out what it was, a big tree had fallen down and broken the top of the back room.
Before the storm, the weather was
cold cool warm hot
The wind blew some of the paper
all over the floor out of the door
into the back room out of the open window
The top of the back room was broken because of
the strong the falling tree the rain the crashing sound

Light travels at a speed which is about a million times faster than the speed of sound. You can get some idea of this difference by watching the start of a race. If you stand some distance away from the starter, you can see smoke from his gun before the sound reaches your ears.
This great speed of light produces some strange facts Sunlight takes about 8 minutes to reach us If you look at the light of the moon tonight, remember that the light rays left the moon 1.3 seconds before they reached you The nearest star is so far away that the light that you can see from it tonight started to travel towards you four years ago at a speed of nearly 2 million km. per minute. In some cases, the light from one of tonight's stars had started on its journey to you before you were born.
Thus, if we want to be honest, we can't say, "The stars are shining tonight" We have to say instead, "The stars look pretty They were shining four years ago, but their light has only just reached the earth."
Light speed is sound speed
as fast as
a million times slower than
about millions of times faster than
about a million times faster than
If you stand 200 metres away from a man who is firing a gun to start a race, you
will find out that _______
you can hear the sound before you see the smoke
the sound does not travel as fast as light
the sound will reach you before the man fires
sound travels about a million times faster than light
Sunlight obviousl飨÷μC_than the light of the moon
has to travel a greater distance moves less quickly
travels much more quickly is less powerfufμC
The scientific way of saying "The stars are shining tonight" should be ________
the stars have been shining all the time
the stars seen tonight will shine four years later
the stars were shining long ago but seen tonight
the starlight seen today could be seen four years ago
