My teenage son Karl became withdrawn after his father died．As a single parent, I tried to do my best to talk to him．But the more I tried, the more he pulled away．When his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six falling grades for the year．At this rate he would never graduate．I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him．Nothing worked．

One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and pleaded for help．“ Please God, I can’t do anything more for my son． I’m at the end of my rope．I’m giving the whole thing up to you．” I was at work when I got a phone call．A man introduced himself as the headmaster．“I want to talk to you about Karl’s absences．” Before he could say another word, I choked up and all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger．“I love my son but I just don’t know what to do．I’ve tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked．It’s out of my hands．” For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line．The headmaster seriously said, “Thank you for your time”, and hung up．

Karl’s next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades．Finally, he even made the honor roll．In his fourth year, I attended a parent-teacher meeting with Karl．I noticed that his teachers were astonished at the way he had turned himself around．On our way home, he said, “Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year?” I nodded．“That was me．I thought I’d play a joke but when I heard what you said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you．That’s when I knew I had to make you proud．”

Handshaking, though a European practice, is now often seen in big cities of China．Nobody knows exactly when the practice started in Europe．It is said that long long ago in Europe when people met, they showed their unarmed （無武器的） hands to each other as a sign of goodwill．As time went on and trade in cities grew rapidly, people in cities began to clap each other’s hands to make a deal or to reach an agreement．The practice was later changed into shaking hands among friends on meeting or leaving each other．“Let’s shake （hands） on it” sometimes means agreement reached．

Do the Europeans shake hands wherever they go and with whomever they meet? No．Sometimes the Chinese abroad reach out their hands too often to be polite．It is really very impolite to give your hand when the other party, especially when it is a woman, shows little interest in shaking hands with you and when the meeting does not mean anything to him or her．Even if, for politeness, he holds out his unwilling hand in answer to your uninvited hand, just touch it slightly．There is generally a misunderstanding（誤解） among the Chinese that westerners are usually open and straightforward, while the Chinese are rather reserved （保守的） in manner．But in fact some people in western countries are more reserved than some Chinese today．So it is a good idea to shake hands with a westerner only when he shows interest in further relations with you．

       A．to make a deal                                      B．to greet each other

The private automobile（私家車） has long played an important role in the United States．In fact, it has become a necessary and important part of the American way of life．In 1986, sixty-nine percent of American families owned at least one car, and thirty-eight percent had more than one．By giving workers rapid transportation, the automobile has freed them from having to live near their place of work．This has encouraged the growth of the cities, but it has also led to traffic problems．

For farm families the automobile is very helpful．It has made it possible for them to travel to town very often for business and for pleasure, and also to transport their children to distant schools．

Family life has been affected（影響） in various ways．The car helps to keep families together when it is used for picnics, outings, and other shared experiences．However, when teenage children have the use of the car, their parents can’t keep an eye on them．There is a great danger if the driver has been drinking alcohol or taking drugs, or showing off by speeding or breaking down traffic laws．Mothers of victims（受害者） of such accidents have formed an organization called MADD（Mothers Against Drunk Driving）．These women want to prevent further tragedies（悲�。�．They have worked to encourage the government to limit the youngest drinking age．Students have formed a similar organization, SADD（Students Against Drunk Driving） and are spreading the same message among their friends．
