In Germany, there is a special museum. It is the only one of this kind in the world and few people know it.Every year，the number of people who come to visit the museum is only one thousand.What kind of museum is it?

It is a museum about taxes (稅收)．In this museum，you can see the history of taxes and all kinds of taxes in different countries in the world.

After visiting the museum，people can draw a conclusion(得出結(jié)論)．That is from 3000 B．C.(公元前)，the kings，dictators(獨(dú)裁者)and finance ministers(財(cái)政部長(zhǎng))could tax people freely.They taxed people heavily because of such things as wars，weddings(婚禮)or road building.They needed money and they got money by taxing their citizens (公民)．

In the early times of Egypt，farmers had to pay heavy taxes if the water level(水面)of the River Nile rose.The kings said that if the water level rose，there would be much more earth in farmers' fields.So the farmers could get a good harvest and they should pay more taxes.

A strange kind of tax—Window Tax appeared(出現(xiàn))in England.It lasted more than one hundred years.How? If there were more windows in the wall，the people must pay more taxes.So in those years, people built as few windows as possible in the wall.

Russian people once paid a tax for their beards (胡子)．The people who had paid this tax would get a special piece of paper.But what about the people who didn't pay for their beards? Of course，their beards would be cut.But without a beard for a man is a way to scorn(蔑視)God.He would also be punished.

Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers. But during the summer vacation in 2017. Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their son: suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents. "The door to his room is always shut, "Joanna noted

Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter. "She used to sit with me on the sofa and talk, "said Mark. "Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something. Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady.”

Before age 11,children like to tell their parents what’s on their minds. ”in fact, parents are first on the list, "said Michael Riera , writer of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers.“This completely changes during the ten years, "Riera explained. "They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents- last.”

To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them. And they must give their children a mental (心靈)break, for children also need freedom, though young. Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager, with their children, is a better way to know them.

1.“The door to his room is always shut "means that .

A. the son is busy with his homework

B. the son doesn’t want to talk to his parents

C. the son needs some sleep

2.What troubles Tina and Mark most is that their daughter .

A. only talks to her teachers

B. asks for too much money

C. talks little in class

A. Be a manager with your children B. Never talk too much to your children

C. Be a friend with your children D. Give your children whatever they want
