When you're a teenager, it seems that every time you say “I want to...”,someone answers“No, you can't.” Also, no part of your life is safe from the “prying(窥视的) eyes” of your parents. 15-year-old Debbie says, “My dad always wants to know where I am, and what time I'm going to be home.” Most parents do that. Do they have to know everything? They  ③  give us more freedom.Young people further complain that their parents do not respect(尊重) them. When something goes wrong,more parents just don't believe in their children. Without asking why, they think their kids are wrong. And not many parents allow their kids  ①  (choose) for themselves. Yes, it is true that your parents sometimes treat(对待) you like a little child. But remember that not too long ago you were really a child.Your parents still remember those childish mistakes that you used to  ②  (make). They want to protect you though you do not want them to do so.

    So, if you want to get more freedom, please try to understand your parents and do not lie to them. 尝试一种更友好的方式。If you want them to allow you to stay out late, don't just say, “All the other kids  ④  stay out late.” Tell them as much as you can about what you want to do and where you'll be and why it's important for you to stay out late. Then they  ⑤  just say “yes” .

    If you want to have a wonderful holiday, you can visit Kingston. It's a famous Canadian city on the bank of Lake Ontario. It is about three hours' trip by bus from Kingston to Toronto. There are some famous universities in Kingston. About 25,000 students study in these universities. Queen's University, founded in 1841, is the most famous universities in Kingston. Kingston is one of the friendliest cities in the world and it welcomes tourists from all over the world. Wherever tourists go in this city, they will see a warm smile on the street or hear a happy "hello" in a public park. It's easy for them to feel at home.

   Almost everybody likes to play. All over the world men and women, boys and girls enjoy sports.{#blank#}1{#/blank#} They help people to live happily.

   {#blank#}2{#/blank#} People play different games in winters and summers. Sailing is fun in warm weather, but skating is good in winter.

   {#blank#}3{#/blank#} The Arabs are famous for their horses and camels. They use them in their work, and they use them in their sports events, too.{#blank#}4{#/blank#} －but millions of people hunt and fish for a living.

   {#blank#}5{#/blank#} but after a game on the sports field, they often become good friends. Sports help to train a person's character. One learns to fight fair and hard, to win without pride and to lose with grace(体面).

    'USA? Britain? Which country is better to study in?' We often hear such discussions. As China opens its door, it is a dream for many Chinese students to study abroad. They want to learn about the outside world.

    It's true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves. Their foreign language skills will be improved and it may be easier to find jobs.

    But there are problems that should be considered. Language is the first. Students must spend a lot of time learning another language.    

    Students must also learn to live without parents' care and deal with all kinds of things they haven't had to do before, like looking after themselves. There are reports about Chinese students abroad running into an ocean of difficulties and giving up finally. When they have to take care of themselves, it is hard for students to study well.

    Finally, studying abroad brings a heavy burden (负担) to the family. For most Chinese parents, the cost of studying abroad is very high. But is it worth it?

    We know that there are many famous people who have achieved success through their hard work in China. Liu Xiang is a good example. Once an American teacher invited him there, but he refused. He kept training hard with his Chinese teacher. He surprised the world when he won a gold medal at the Athens Olympic Games. So when you wonder which country is better to study in, think again.

    Many people are looking for a pet that is a little more interesting than a cat or a dog. If you have a lot of space and are happy to find out how to look after it, a green iguana(蜥蜴) can make a great pet. We spoke to Dr. Troy Wilson, a specialist in lizards, about how to look after an iguana.

    The first question is, what should it live in?

    Dr. Wilson: The green iguana can grow to be about 2 meters long, so you are going to need a big space to keep it in. Start with a small glass tank for a baby iguana, then when it is bigger, you can move it into a larger cage.

    Do they need water?

    Dr. Wilson: Yes. Iguanas need water to drink and sit in. In the wild they always live near water and they are good swimmers. They need a water dish or small pond that is big enough for them to sit in.

    What do they eat?

    Dr. Wilson: They eat mostly raw vegetables and some fruit. You can feed your iguana fresh vegetables every day and some fruit once a week. Iguanas cannot chew their food so you should cut it into the right size. They swallow food in one piece.

    Are they fun?

    Dr. Wilson: An Iguana is a clever, friendly animal. It will learn who you are and can even be quite affectionate. (深情的)

    If the joy of walking through the green forest, the excitement of climbing ancient rocks, or even the simple pleasure of watching wildlife in its own habitat (栖息地) really moves you, then share GreenHome's idea of the world. Please turn that idea into some support today.

    {#blank#}3{#/blank#}So take action right now! Even a very small amount, like$1a month, will soon build up into a valuable contribution (贡献) to protecting the natural world we love so much. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}We'll also use it to develop ways to deal with environmental problems.

    Think about it in another way. If you want a future where you can continue to do the things you love in the great outdoors, you need to make sure you've got great outdoors to do them in. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}And this way is simple enough—that's got to be worth $1 a month.
