You probably talk to friends more than you talk to your parents. That's natural. Still, most of us want a parent's help, advice, and support at times. But talking to the parents may be difficult or terrible-especially when it comes to certain subjects. Here are some suggestions to make it easier.

    Talk about everyday stuff—and do it every day. The more you do something, the easier it gets. Talking to parents about everyday stuff builds a bond that can help you discuss something more serious with them later.

Find something to chat(聊天) about each day. Talk about how your team did at the sports meet. Share something one of your teachers said. Even small talk about what's for dinner can keep your relationship comfortable.

It's never too late to start. If your relationship with your parents makes you feel nervous, try getting into conversations slowly. Mention the cute thing the dog did. Talk about how well your little sister is doing in maths. Chatting with parents every day not only keeps the present relationship strong, but it can help a might-be-worse relationship get better.

    When parents feel connected to your daily life, they can be there for you if something really important             .

    Computer are very popular now .People are talking about and using the Internet everywhere, but how many of us know the history of the Internet?

    Many people are surprised when they find out that the Internet was set up in 1960s. At that time, Computers were large and expensive. Computer networks didn't work very well. If one computer in the network broke down, then the whole network stopped. A new network system had to designed. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working, information could be sent through another part. In this way, the computer network system would keep working well all the time.

    At first, the Internet was only used by few people, but in the 1970s,it was used in school, hospitals and banks. However, computers were still expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. At the beginning of the 1990s, computers became cheaper and easier to use.

    Today it's easy to get online and it is said that millions of people use the Internet every day. Sending e-mails is more and more popular among students. The Internet has now become one of the most important parts of people's life.

    In the Middle Eastern country of Lebanon, there are more than 1 million refugees (难民). Youssef was 10 years old when a local Syrian musician discovered his talent: a deep, powerful voice-well-suited to traditional songs. However, Syria's civil war took place soon. He and his family lost their home.

    When the Action for Hope Music School announced that it was looking for talented children to train, his family encouraged him to attend the school. A year and a half later, Youssef, with another 11 children, was chosen to take part in a concert.

    Youssef, a shy boy, was a lead singer in the concert. He gave a confident performance of traditional Syrian songs. "We only heard the sound of a mortar(迫击炮）. It fell near us. A whole building came down. That is all I remember," said Youssef. "Music makes me forget everything. Music is the most important thing."

    Basma, director of Action for Hope, said," The music school offers children who suffer from the war strength (力量). They can find a good way to express themselves and stop thinking of themselves as refugees."

    "Art gives strength. It comes from the ability to create," Basma said, "People who are in difficult conditions need this strength much more than the rich."
