Most people want to work, but it has become more difficult in today’s world to find work for everybody. The economics(經(jīng)濟(jì)) of the world need to grow by 4% each year just to keep the old number of jobs for people. Often it is not possible(可能的) and so more and more people are without work. Some people have no jobs now because new machines can do the work of many people in shorter time.

Also, machines do not ask for more money and longer holidays. In all of the countries of the world, machines are taking work from people, not only in factories but also on the farms. One machine often can do the work of forty people. About 75,000 people are moving to the cities a day to look for jobs, but only 70% of them can find jobs.

A. people will have no jobs

C. people can have the same number of jobs as before

D. 96% of the people will have jobs.

2.One machine can do as much work as ________.

A. 40 people B. 75,000 people

C. 70% of the people D. 96% of the people will have jobs

“Give it back to me!” Zhu Han shouted at his mum angrily. She had just grabbed(抓取) his cell phone, saying that he should stop playing and go to sleep.

“I told her it was 9 o’clock and I’d finished my homework, but she didn’t listen,” said the 15-year-old boy. “I really couldn’t understand her!”

Do you sometimes feel the same way? A China Youth Daily report said that, according to a survey on 1,500 students, 61% of the students said they felt they weren’t able to communicate(交流) with their parents. Besides, 37% of them said they never shared their worries with their parents.

One of the most important reasons is that students and parents don’t have much common ground(共同點(diǎn)). The different ages always lead to different interests.

Peng Yu, a psychological professor(心理學(xué)教授) pointed out another reason. He said when entering puberty(青春期), teenagers begin to have their own thoughts(思想) and want their parents to treat them like adults(成人). But parents don’t follow the change.

He suggested that children should first understand that their parents do everything out of love. “With this in mind, students should try to talk with their parents calmly and often enough,” he said.

Huang Xinlin, 14, agreed with the advice. She talks with her mum during supper every day and she also helps do the housework. “We talk about everything and even make jokes while sharing housework,” Huang said happily. “We are like friends.”
