Jia Meng used to keep a diary in Chinese. But one year ago, the 14-year-old girl from Heilongjiang began to keep her diary 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 23,000 parents. The results show that 40% of the parents read their children's secrets. That's why , like Jia, many teenagers try to find ways to protect their privacy.

    Wu Lei, 15, of 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, of 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, Liu asked her parents to buy her a mobile phone.

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

Lyle's Second Go

    In 1982，when I was coaching the Raiders， the owner of the team talked with me about a possible trade for Lyle Alzado. After watching him on tape，I didn't think he was that good, but the owner felt we could make Lyle better by creating the right environment lor him. We made the1.

    That summer at training camp，Lyle was having a hard time. He had that look in his eyes that many young players and some old players get when things aren't going 2.One morning Lyle came into my office and he looked like he hadn't slept. Here was a huge man, with his head about as3as it could go. We talked, or rather, I listened. The main point was that Lyle felt his career (职业生涯）was over and it would be best for him and for the team if he retired (退役）.He apologized for4us since we had just traded for him.

    Lyle was always an emotional person. This is one of the reasons he was a good player. He5all that emotional energy with him, ready to lire out at the snap of the ball (开球）.Now he was in front of me， almost crying. I thought for a moment， realizing we had to keep that 6going. Then I went through my reasons why he should not retire. At the end of our talk， I said，“You go out and play your very best, and let us7if you still have it. Personally， I think you do.”

    In January 1984. Tampa Bay Stadium. Super Bowl XVIII. With less than two minutes remaining, we were leading 38-9. We were the world champions of professional football. I saw Lyle，crying like a baby. I had to turn away quickly，or I would have joined him in 8.

    I remembered that morning in my office， and what Lyle， and what the Raiders， had achieved since he came to us. If Lyle hadn't given his career another shot, he wouldn't have had this victory. Maybe the Raiders wouldn't have had this victory. During that moment， I felt one of the greatest satisfactions of my coaching career.

He searched all over the planet, but everywhere was polluted so much that there was6 place the flower could possibly live in. Then he looked up at the moon. It seemed that maybe the plant could live there.

    Jim decided to go there. He7 a spaceship and put the little red flower in the back, then they flew to the moon. Far away from all that pollution, the flower soon grew up, giving birth to others, and these other flowers spread onto other flowers. Soon the whole moon was completely covered with flowers. When the little boy's flowers came out, the moon gave out a soft red8. It was the most beautiful scenery he had ever seen.
