It is Saturday afternoon. You and your friends are planning to go to the movies and then have a dinner together. Just as you start to get ready, your dad reminds you that it is your aunt’s birthday and the whole family is going out to dinner to celebrate. How can this end without a quarrel?

The tension (緊張關(guān)系) between teenagers and their families mainly comes from how to balance what they want with family hopes. You once spent most of your free time with your parents. When you want to spend more and more time with your friends, your parents’ feelings may get hurt. They might feel that they are losing control of you during the period. You might feel angry that so many family requirements are placed on you. Here are a few things you can try to make it a little easier to ease(緩解) the tension between you and your family.

＊Tell your plan to your parents first and ask your parents whether there is anything else planned at that time.

＊When your buddy activities come with a family event, try to find out if there is any way you can do both. You can spend a little time with each group. You can go to the family even and ask to be with your friends next time. You can also invite your friends to the family event.

＊Suggest something you would really like to do with your family. When your parents know you want to spend time with them, they will feel better.

A

The weather is getting hotter. You are thirsty playing basketball or riding home from school. A cold drink may be just the thing. But be careful what you are drinking. Something that looks cool may not be good for your health.

There are plenty of "energy drinks" on the market. Most of them have beautiful colors and cool names. The lists on them tell you they are helpful to your health. Sounds great!

Eric and Chen first met in their Maths class at an American college. Chen was an International student from China. He wanted to learn about American culture and hoped he and Eric would become good friends. At first, Eric seemed friendly. He always greeted Chen warmly before class. Sometimes he offered to study with Chen. He even invited Chen to eat lunch with him. But after the term was over and they were in different classes, Eric seemed more distant. They didn’t see each other very much at college. One day Chen called Eric, but Eric didn’t seem very interested in talking to him. Chen was hurt by Eric’s change of attitude（態(tài)度）.“Eric said we were friends.” Chen said. “I thought friends were friends forever”. As a foreigner, he doesn’t understand the way Americans view friendship.

Americans use the word “friend” in a very general way. Their friendship is based on common interests. When the shared activity ends, the friendship may die. Now as Eric and Chen are no longer classmates, their “friendship” has changed.

In some cultures friendship means a strong life-long tie between two people—friendship develops slowly, since it is built to last. But American society changes quickly. One fifth of American families move every year. American friendship develops quickly, and it may change just as quickly.

Learning how Americans view friendship can help non-Americans remove misunderstandings（誤解）. It can help them make friends in the American way.

1. Americans view friendship

Who?

Chen: a 2. college student in the US

Eric: an American college student

What happened?

At first Eric was 3. : greeting Chen warmly before class; offering to study with Chen; 4. Chen to have lunch with him.

After the 5. was over, Eric changed---he didn’t want to 6. to Chen. Chen was hurt.

The explanation

In some countries friendship develops 7. : it means a strong long-life tie between two people. 

American society changes quickly. 8. per cent of American families move every year. Their friendship develops quickly and may 9. just as quickly.

American friendship is based on common 10.. Learning this can help people understand each other better.
