Dear Kangkang,

      Can you help me? I have too many rules! I have to get up at five thirty every morning. My mom goes to work at 6:30 a. m, so I have to cook breakfast! After breakfast, I run to school because I can't be late. At school I have more rules. Don't be noisy and don't talk in class, and so on.

      After school, Dad says I can't go out with my friends. I can only go out with them on weekends. I can't have a rest after school. Why? Because it's a rule again—do my homework after dinner. I also have rules for sleeping! I have to go to bed before half past nine. Rules, rules, rules!

      I can't stand（忍受）them any more. What can I do?

      Write to me soon!

Yours,

Li Lei   

    Are your parents often angry with you? Or you always disagree with your parents. Maybe the relationships between you and your parents are terrible. It's difficult to make your home a happy and healthy place. In fact, you can change the situations by the following keys.

    Respect（尊重）   It's important to show your respect and care about your parents feelings. Though you have disagreements（分歧）, at least try to understand whatever they are trying to tell you. You shouldn't keep your own thoughts only.

    Communication   You can communicate with your parents in a polite way. You may not get what you want, but explaining your thoughts calmly and rationally（理性的）may show your parents that you are no longer a kid.

    Trust   How can your parents build trust in you? It depends on what you do. For example, if you get home late without calling first, next time your parents may not believe you. To earn（赢得）their trust, you must pay attention to the ways you do things instead of fighting with them. It will make your life much easier.

    Taking time together   Some teens find that sharing time together can build trust and communication. Your parents may be interested in going shopping, hanging out and playing cards with you. Spending time together will drive away the“black cloud”hanging over your home.

    Your parents give all their love to you. Why not these ways actively to own a happy family as you want?

    Samuel Langhorne Clemens was born in 1835,in the state of Missouri. When he was four, his family moved to the town ofHannibal, Missouri. Hannibal was a port on the Missippi River, and Clemensloved to watch the big steamboats going up and down the river. He said that allthe boys in his school had one ambition in life: to work on a steamboat!

    His father died when he was just 12 yearsold, and Clemens then went to work for a printer to help support his family. Hetravelled around, and worked in many different cities. But when he was 22, heachieved his ambition—he got a job working on a steamboat. He sailed up anddown the wide Missippi River until the American Civil War began.

    He then moved around America, and triedseveral jobs. He was a soldier, and a silver miner. Then he started working asa writer for a newspaper. It was at that time that he decided to use a pen namefor his stories, and he chose the name "Mark Twain".

    The name is interesting. It comes from hisdays on the steamboats. He used to throw a piece of rope into the river. Therewas a heavy weight on the end of the rope, and the rope had some marks on it.He used the rope to find how deep the river was. Then he shouted out, "MarkOne" or "Mark Twain", meaning "Mark Two". Each markwas about two metres, so when he shouted "Mark Twain", it meant thatthe river was deep enough for the big boat.

    In 1865 Clemens wrote a story about ajumping frog. The story and the writer became famous. In 1867 he toured Europe.He married when he returned, and lived for most of the rest of his in Harfort,Connecticut. He wrote many books, including The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, whichhe wrote in 1876. He also gave many lectures, and became a very famous andpopular man.

    Once two of his friends decided to write tohim, but they had lost his address. So on the envelope they just wrote "MarkTwain, God knows where". Several weeks later, they received a replay fromthe writer. It just said, "He does!"

    Samuel Clemens died in 1910. He isconsidered to be one of America's most important writers.

"Do you know Macao was never my real name? I have been away from you for too long, mother..."

Song of the Seven Sons-Macao, written by Wen Yiduo in 1925, is still in the hearts of Macao's teenagers today. The Basic Law of Macao Special Administrative Region (《中华人民共和国澳门特别行政区基本法》) came out in 1993 and started to work on Dec. 20, 1999, as Macao returned to China. From then on, it has become much easier for young people to build a closer relationship with their motherland.

Chan U, an 18-year-old, is studying at the University of Macao. She said "Traveling to the Chinese mainland (大陆) has become easier. Visits to Zhuhai have become a part of the daily life of some people." Kun Lot U, 25, studies at the South China University of Technology. She said "Many local people go to Zhuhai to buy vegetables as they are fresher and cheaper than those in local markets. Young people often go to Zhuhai to play jubensha, a role-playing game."

The number of trips out of Macao in January was 2.23 million, and most of them went to the Chinese mainland. Cities like Chongqing, Changsha and Hangzhou are popular places for young people, according to Chan. Guangdong is also a good choice since the language and food are similar.

"Young people in Macao care a lot about what's happening on the mainland," said Kun. Like the young people on the mainland. they also use apps from the mainland to know the hot issues(话题). They have learned many mainland Internet catcbphrases (流行语). "1know about the most popular ones such as ‘yyds'," said Kun. "They make us understand more about people and life on the mainland."

More than half of the people in Macao use online shopping apps from the mainland.Kun said that it's because they can find almost everything they need at good prices on the apps. The products are first shipped to a collection station in Macao. It usually takes about three to seven days for local people to get the products. "The connection between Macao and the motherland is getting stronger and stronger," said Chan.
