Young people and older people don't always agree with each other. They sometimes have {#blank#}1{#/blank#}  ideas about work and life. But in one special program in New York State, adults and teenagers live together in a {#blank#}2{#/blank#}  way.

      Each summer 200 teenagers and 50{#blank#}3{#/blank#}  live and work together for eight weeks as a group. Everyone works several hours each day. Some teenagers work in the forest or on the farms. 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.”

Dear Wang Hong,

    I'm very {#blank#}1{#/blank#} to get your email in London. And thanks {#blank#}2{#/blank#} your songs. I am learning {#blank#}3{#/blank#}.It's nine o' clock in the evening here. My father is {#blank#}4{#/blank#} a basketball match on TV. My mother is reading a book about food and {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. I have got a white cat. It is {#blank#}6{#/blank#}now. What about your family?

    Yours,

    Lucy

    John Allen, an American scientist once said, "The{#blank#}1{#/blank#}is the world's largest library, but all the {#blank#}2{#/blank#}in it are on the floor!" What he meant is that the Internet is full of information. But it can be difficult to find what you really need. The Internet has another disadvantage. That is--anyone can{#blank#}3{#/blank#}a website, so you can find websites about whatever you can imagine. Unfortunately, a lot of what is written on them is not always{#blank#}4{#/blank#}.

    At the same time, the Internet {#blank#}5{#/blank#}many other things for people.

    On some websites, you can download music and films. They are usually{#blank#}6{#/blank#}and some are even free. On some other websites, you can connect with{#blank#}7{#/blank#}from all over the world. It's true that the Internet has changed the way we work and communicate. But we should not{#blank#}8{#/blank#}it too much. Some people are also afraid that{#blank#}9{#/blank#}the Internet has taken the place of other healthier activities, especially for young people.

    Whether you love it or{#blank#}10{#/blank#}it, though, you'd better get used to it but not avoid getting in touch with it.
