    You have been working hard to learn English. Do you know foreigners are trying to learn Chinese? According to a survey, one in four American young men would like to learn it. There will be over 150,000,000 people learning Chinese around the world in the early 2019.

    "Because of Chinas fast development, Chinese has become more useful. More and more people begin to learn it. "said Scott McGinnis, a Washington language expert.

    For example, in 2010, only 30 schools in America had Chinese lessons. This year, more than 300 schools there have Chinese lessons during school days. Last year, China gave 3,000 textbooks to a school in America because they had done a good job.

Many libraries charge a late fee(费用). If you return a book after a certain date, you pay a fine. But this might be changing. For public libraries, anyway. Some say these fees stop some people from using the library. And the point of libraries is to make books available. So we asked our readers what they think about late fees. Keep them? Or stop them? Here's what two kids bad to say.

☑ Do you use the library?

☑ Have you had to pay for returning a book late?

Fiona Sheehy, 9, NY

Libraries should charge late fees. Do you enjoy the library? You can discover new books there. But you might not get a chance if kids don't return them. Paying a fee will teach kids to be responsible. This will help when they get older and have a job. Some borrowers return books late. The money can be used to make the library a better place. So late fees are a must.

Aiden Robinson, 10, CA

Libraries should not charge late fees. Some people just need time to finish the book. Late fees at some libraries have reached $50 for a couple of books. Many kids can't afford that, And a late fee doesn't make people more responsible. What works is sending reminders. Or libraries can provide more overnight service for book return. I learned from the news that this helped in Brooklyn, New York.

①Walking slowly out of the classroom by himself to the dining room; taking his lunch; sitting and eating alone at a table of four seats, such moments are pretty normal to be seen on the 14-year-old schoolboy, Peter. He spends most of his school time on his own, which makes his parents worry about him so much.

②His parents' worries are easy to understand. It is widely accepted that being alone is a symbol of being left out and can bring a lot of trouble. Most people believe teenagers who are usually alone do have few friends and are unable to fit in with other people. At the same time, they are at greater risk of having mental(心理的) problems.

③However, a new study by some researchers at Wilmington College, shows that this may not always be true. Whether it is bad for teenagers or not depends on the reasons why teenagers are alone. If it is their choice, it may play an active role in their personal growth.

④According to their study, when teenagers choose to think alone, they put 100% of their attention into what is in their mind and are more likely to experience deeper thoughts and feelings than working with others. They may have a greater chance to create something new, In this way they can better develop their creativity(创造力).

⑤On the other hand, the ongoing noise children's brains receive every day can put great stress on them and make it hard for them to focus. Being alone lets them shut themselves off from the noisy outside world and think about what's best for them. Slowly they improve their ability to focus.

⑥As a matter of fact, our culture is always biased(有偏见的) against being alone. Maybe it is the right time for us to rethink about Peter's situation before we say what's happening to him.

"They'll understand when they're older, " Hearing this, as a parent, you may feel better. But the fact is that even when kids become adults, it doesn't mean they'll agree with your decisions. 

Recently, I have had lots of conversations with my 19-year-old daughter about decisions I made in her childhood. She says she disagrees with some of them and some have even caused harm to her. That hurts. I think I must have failed as a parent. 

It turns out that my daughter's questioning(质疑) is very normal. It happens to almost every teenager when they are in their late teens. 

"In their late teens, teenagers start to find out who they are and what they stand for(支持),"says Mary Fleming, a college professor. "The search for identity (身份) is not always smooth. " The first task for teenagers is to dismantle the old life structure (结构) and to build a new one in its place. In other words, parents created that old life structure of childhood, so they are often at the heart of that dismantling process. 

Hearing critical(批评的)words is hard. But if your teenager comes to you wanting to talk about it,pay attention to him or her. For both of you, it's the beginning of understanding each other. And as they grow up, teenagers will realize they can't live their lives over again, and neither can their parents. They will understand that their parents did the best they could with what they knew at the time.
