Did you ever think about how people got their surnames (family names)? Did you ever who was the first person to have your surname?
Many modern British surnames go to the Vikings and Anglo-Saxons who ruled England for 300 years, until 1066 AD. During those ，people just had one name. To tell each person apart, the Anglo-Saxons added , the place a person came from or the job they did to their first name. For example, a lady called Agatha the town of Blackburn could be called Agatha Blackburn.
The Vikings, on the other hand, the name of a person's father or mother. So Erik Jonsson was the son of a man named Jon. Many Viking men had nicknames (绰号). These used to mean the opposite of what the person was actually like. For example, John Short could be a very man, or Erik Wise could be a man who was not very clever!
So, next time someone tells you their surname, stop and think for a minute. It might tell you about their ancestors(祖先) from centuries ago!

Some learn to make things like tables and chairs and build houses. The adults {#blank#}4{#/blank#} them theses skills.
There are several free hours every weekday. Weekends are free, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} . During the free hours, some of the teenagers learn photo taking or painting. {#blank#}6{#/blank#} sit around and talk or sing. Each teenager chooses his own way to {#blank#}7{#/blank#} his free time.
When people live together, rules are necessary, In this program the teenagers and the adults make the rules together. If someone breaks a {#blank#}8{#/blank#} , the problem is brought to the whole group. They talk about it and ask, “How did it happen? {#blank#}9{#/blank#} should we do about it?”
One of the teenagers says about his experience, “{#blank#}10{#/blank#} stop thinking only about yourself. You learn to think about the group.”

As we are growing up, we really need advice from adults. Here are three people talking about their experiences.
Jasper, 26, actor
You're not alone.
Sometimes when you're a teenager, you feel as if you're all alone and there's {#blank#}1{#/blank#} you can talk to. Do you know twenty to thirty percent of teenagers in the US have a hard {#blank#}2{#/blank#} going through the period? They feel lonely and sad. I think life is so much easier if you {#blank#}3{#/blank#} your troubles with others. I regret that I didn't take the advice when someone {#blank#}4{#/blank#} it to me.
Steve, 27, teacher
Your teachers only want what's best for you.
When I was in school, I never thought I'd become a teacher. I acted badly in class, and feel {#blank#}5{#/blank#}about that now. I love my job and I know how challenging it is, so I hope kids can show their teachers more respect (尊重). I hope kids can {#blank#}6{#/blank#} that teachers push them to do their best and not just to give them a hard time.
Anna, 29, doctor
Money doesn't grow on trees.
When I was a teenager, I never learned {#blank#}7{#/blank#}to save money. I just spent it! My parents gave me everything I wanted, but I realize now they spent little {#blank#}8{#/blank#} themselves. Now I wish I knew {#blank#}9{#/blank#}about planning my money, and I am not the only one! It seems that today's teenagers know about money planning even less {#blank#}10{#/blank#}me years ago. I do wish they could learn about it earlier.
