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” .

    People who are scared of heights should try not to drive over a new bridge in Guizhou. The new bridge, called the Beipanjiang Bridge, is the highest one in the world. Located near Bijie in Guizhou Province, the bridge stands 565 meters above a deep river. It connects the mountainous provinces of Guizhou and Yunnan. Just how high is the new bridge? Think of a 200-storey(层) building.

    Guizhou Province is already home to seven of the ten highest bridges in China. The Beipanjiang Bridge has just overtaken (超过t ) the Sidu River Bridge in Hubei Province to become the world's highest。

    The building of the Beipanjiang Bridge started in 2012 and it was opened to traffic (通车) on December 29 ,2016. It cost about 100 million yuan.

    The Beipanjiang Bridge is part of a highway（高速公路) connecting Hangzhou City in Zhejiang Province and Ruili City in Yunnan Province. The bridge is 1, 341 4 meters long and it cuts the travel time from Liupanshui in Guizhou to Xuanwei in Yunnan from around five hours to just over an hour。

    China is no stranger to record-breaking bridges. The second- and third-highest bridges in the world are also locateed in the country. The Beipanjiang Bridge is five meters higher than the previous（先前的）record holder.

Where: the world's third-heighest bridge, {#blank#}5{#/blank#}.

    There was a park near my home. Many people said there was nothing special there. One afternoon I went into the park. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} "Which way should I go?" I asked myself. The two paths(小路) were different from each other.

    The left one was wide and clean. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} The flowers were very beautiful. I decided to take this path. But wait! I looked at the right one. It was not clean. For a long time I couldn't decide which path to choose.

    {#blank#}3{#/blank#} It wasn't nice, but I didn't want to give up. At last I came to the end of the path. Ah! There was a small garden there. It was beautiful. I thought it was the nicest part of the park. When I told them what I had seen in the park, they just smiled at me without saying a word.

    My trip to the park made me understand something about life. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} You may get a big surprise!
