Answer the questions.

    Nick is a student from California. He weighs 147 pounds (about 67kg). But do you know what he used to be like? Six months ago, he weighed about 202 pounds (91kg). How did he lose all that weight in only half a year?

    "One day, I was surprised to find that I weighed about 202 pounds," Nick said. "I thought I had to do something."

    Nick is from a boxing(拳击) family. His father and two elder brothers are all professional boxers. So he decided to start boxing. He began with simple exercises. Then he started running. "I don't like running," he said. "But I really wanted to be thin and strong at that time, so I had no choice but to keep on."

    Months later, Nick joined a boxing club in his city. He is always the first kid to begin exercising, and the last to leave the club. His coach(教练), James White said, "Nick is more hard-working than any other boy in the club. I'm very happy to see him lose the pounds so quickly."

    Nick is very happy with his weight now. There is a family photo in his room from 18 months ago. "Each time I look at the photo, I laugh at myself. I was so big then." Nick said. "I look thinner and stronger now."

    Parents with high expectations for their children are nothing new to Chinese kids. However, people often don't realize that children also have expectations for their parents. What expectations do Chinese children have for parent-child relationships?

    China Youth & Children Research Center did a survey on this topic in the United States, Japan, South Korea and China. The survey found that 83.8 percent of Chinese children want to be friends with their parents, the greatest amount among the four countries. This means that they want a more equal(平等的) relationship with their parents.

    According to China Youth Daily, traditional Chinese values (价值观) such as respecting one's elders and the concept of hierarchy (等级观念) are preventing parents from becoming friends with their children. Many Chinese parents criticize (批评) and push their children, as there is lots of competition in school. It requires efforts from both parents and children to create a friendship in family. As children, what can you do to create a pleasant atmosphere (氛围) at home and make friends with your parents? Read on to find out.

    Tips to make home a happy place

    How can we get along better with our parents, and at the same time, grow into adults ourselves? Here are some tips.

    Act like an adult

    If you want your parents to give you more freedom, you should show them that you're ready to be treated differently. For example, learn to use self-control. Show them that you can manage your time well.

    Open your heart

    US psychologist (心理学家) Carl E. Pickhard wrote in Psychology Today that sharing feelings with our parents can lead to positive changes, while not sharing them can cause misunderstandings.

    Care for your parents

Do something nice or helpful for your parents. For example, help them with some home chores, make them gifts or teach them some computer skills. Their trust in you will grow.
