As we know, doing housework is helpful for teenagers’ development. Do teenagers in small villages do housework at home? How about the teenagers in big cities? To know the situation of teenagers doing housework, we made a survey last month. We asked 4,000 teenagers in China. Half of them come from cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. The others are from villages. We made a diagram according to our survey. Let’s have a look at it.
________
We can find that teenagers in villages do more housework than those in cities. Maybe it is because teenagers in villages live a harder life and their parents are so busy making money for living and their kids education that the teenagers must help parents do some housework. As a result, teenagers in villages are more independent than those in cities.
We think parents in cities should give their children some housework to do because it’s a good way to learn living skills and learn how to look after themselves. When they grow up and live alone, they can be full of confidence and try to solve all kinds of problems they meet. If they don’t do some housework, they may not get used to the new situation quickly. What’s more, the teenagers in cites have more after-school activities, the parents should give their children more free time so that they can do what they love to do, including doing housework.
51. What’s the best title for ________?
A. The Villages and Cities
B. Teenagers in Villages and in Cities
C. The Development of the Teenagers
D. The Situation of Teenagers Doing Housework
52. How many teenagers are from villages in the survey?
A. 2000. B. 3000. C. 4000. D. 6000.
53. What do teenagers in cities do more than those in villages?
A. Making the bed. B. Doing the dishes.
C. Sweeping the floor. D. Taking out the trash.
54. Why does the writer think teenagers in villages do more housework?
A. Because they have more free time.
B. Because they love doing chores.
C. Because their parents are so busy.
D. Because they want to do housework.
55. What’s the advice of the writer?
A. The teenagers in villages should be confident.
B. The teenagers in cities should do some housework.
C. The teenagers in villages should have more activities.
D. The teenagers in cities must live alone.

A peacock and a tortoise were good friends. One day, a bird catcher caught the peacock and was going to sell him at the market. The peacock asked the bird catcher to allow him to say goodbye to his friend, the tortoise. The bird catcher agreed.
The tortoise asked the bird catcher to let the peacock go, but he refused. The tortoise then said, “If I give you a nice gift, will you let my friend go?” “Certainly,” answered the bird catcher.
So the tortoise jumped into the sea and after some time, he came up with a big pearl in a shell. The bird catcher was so surprised. He was so happy that he let the peacock go.
A few days later, the bird catcher came back to the tortoise. He thought he didn’t get enough for letting the peacock go. He told the tortoise that he would catch the peacock again unless he got another big pearl.

These days, there is some bad behavior at some schools. Some students beat and hurt others, some students laugh at others, some don’t allow somebody to play in a group and some even ask their friends not to talk with someone. They sometimes say something bad about others and take away others’ things without permission.
These bad behaviors have a very bad influence. They make us feel unsafe and afraid. We don’t want to go to school sometimes. What’s worse, sometimes we don’t dare to make friends with others.
How can we protect ourselves at school? Here are some ways to help us. We can’t fight with others at school. What’s more, we should try to make friends, so we can go home with them and try not to be alone. If others hurt us, we should ask our parents and teachers for help.

Hope everyone can stay away from such bad behaviors.

As we know, doing housework is helpful for teenagers’ development. Do teenagers in small villages do housework at home? How about the teenagers in big cities? To know the situation of teenagers doing housework, we made a survey last month. We asked 4,000 teenagers in China. Half of them come from cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. The others are from villages. We made a diagram according to our survey. Let’s have a look at it.
________
We can find that teenagers in villages do more housework than those in cities. Maybe it is because teenagers in villages live a harder life and their parents are so busy making money for living and their kids education that the teenagers must help parents do some housework. As a result, teenagers in villages are more independent than those in cities.
We think parents in cities should give their children some housework to do because it’s a good way to learn living skills and learn how to look after themselves. When they grow up and live alone, they can be full of confidence and try to solve all kinds of problems they meet. If they don’t do some housework, they may not get used to the new situation quickly. What’s more, the teenagers in cites have more after-school activities, the parents should give their children more free time so that they can do what they love to do, including doing housework.

A peacock and a tortoise were good friends. One day, a bird catcher caught the peacock and was going to sell him at the market. The peacock asked the bird catcher to allow him to say goodbye to his friend, the tortoise. The bird catcher agreed.
The tortoise asked the bird catcher to let the peacock go, but he refused. The tortoise then said, “If I give you a nice gift, will you let my friend go?” “Certainly,” answered the bird catcher.
So the tortoise jumped into the sea and after some time, he came up with a big pearl in a shell. The bird catcher was so surprised. He was so happy that he let the peacock go.
A few days later, the bird catcher came back to the tortoise. He thought he didn’t get enough for letting the peacock go. He told the tortoise that he would catch the peacock again unless he got another big pearl.
The tortoise knew the peacock had gone to a safe place. “Well,” said the tortoise, “Please give the pearl back that I gave you and I will come back with two.”

The latest and 10th of this season’s Youth Power by China Daily was played on March 30. Some music lovers and musicians from different countries came together to share their stories about how they believe music make the world wonderful.
Lyu Wei, a 31-year-old violinist, is from Jiangsu province. Her musical journey began because her parents “forced” her into it. “My parents believed that playing an instrument would help me focus better on my studies, so they introduced me to the piano first and later to the violin,” Lyu said. “After a few years of practice, I developed my love for the sound of the violin and wanted to share my music and ideas with different people.”
For Essomba, a 26-year-old music maker from Cameroon, his love for music developed more naturally. “I have many chances to see all kinds of musical instruments. No one forces me to play music,” said Essomba. “When you see people you know and love playing something really good, you’ll think, ‘Why can’t I do it?’”
Baidak, a 24-year-old doctoral student from Russia at Beijing Foreign Studies University. “Music serves as a tool for communication, bringing people together and making the sound of different musical instruments amazing,” said Baidak.
Joseph Chen, 26, a trombone player from Wuxi, sees music as more than just a way of expressing oneself and building friendships. He believes it’s an important thing of human activities. He thinks before humans had shelter and food, we had cave paintings and bone flutes, they were art and music.
