    Gulliver managed to get away from the small men. He found a boat and tried to sail home. However, there was a great storm at sea. The strong winds drove his boat to a strange island.
    Everyone on the island was very large. They were all more than 20 meters tall. A farmer found Gulliver first and took him home to his daughter. Gulliver seemed very small to them, like a toy or a pet. The farmer's daughter took Gulliver to town. Everyone in the town was surprised to see such a small person.
    The Queen heard about Gulliver and bought him from the farmer. She gave Gulliver to the King as a present. The King enjoyed listening to Gulliver talk about his home country and his travels. All their objects, such as chairs, tables, knives, forks and plates were too big for Gulliver to use, so they built a small house with small objects for him to live in. Wherever the King and Queen went, they carried Gulliver with them in his house.
    One day they went to the beach. While they were there, a large eagle picked up Gulliver's house, with Gulliver in it, and carried him high up into the air. But the house was too heavy, so the eagle dropped it into the sea. Gulliver used his house as a boat until a ship found him. The ship took him home.

请阅读下面一篇关于家长与孩子之间存在矛盾的短文,根据所提供的信息,完成信息卡。

    Jia Meng used to keep a diary in Chinese. But one year ago, the 14-year-old girl from Heilongjiang began to write her diaries in English, because Jia found her mother was reading her diary secretly. She changed the language because her mother can't read English. "It's like killing two birds with one stone," said Jia. "My privacy(隐私) becomes safe and my English improves a lot."

    Jia's mother is not the only mom who reads her child's diary. Recently, Renmin University of China had a national survey among over 2,300 parents. The results show that about 40% of parents read their children's secrets.

That's why many teenagers try to find ways to protect their privacy.

    Wu Lei, 15, from Shanxi, keeps a diary, too. But he doesn't write it on paper. He writes online, which he thinks is perfectly safe because his parents "know nothing about the Internet".

    Lu Huan, 13, from Guangdong, said her parents always secretly listened to the talk between her friends and her on the telephone in their room. To solve this problem, Lu asked her parents to buy her a cell phone.

    "Parents want to know what is going on in their children's lives," said Shao Xiaozhen, a teenage expert in Beijing. "But sometimes they go about it the wrong way." Shao suggested the teenagers that instead of hiding their secrets, talking with parents is a better solution. "If your parents know that you are safe, they'll let you keep your secrets."
