Maria walked into the kitchen and shouted,"I can't stand living with Felicia another minute.I don't ever want to talk to her again!" Mom called out,"Felicia,come to the kitchen right now." While Felicia was on her way,Mom put two chairs opposite each other but very close together. "Maria,you sit here and Felicia you sit there."The girls sat face to face,with their knees almost touching."Now you look each other in the eye for five minutes,Mom ordered. At first the girls moved their bodies from side to side. sit face to face Then mom said firmly,"You must stay staring at each other for five minute Each minute you don't look into each other's eyes means another minute sitting the chairs."They both wanted out,so they had to sit there and look at ea other. Felicia looked at Maria's pouting(鳜嘴的)face while Maria looked t Felicia's angry face.They each thought the other one looked silly.In fact,thy were being silly to fight and be mad at each other over nothing.

Many say such people don't want to work hard for a better life.However,it's o good criticizing(批评)for“lying down'”before finding out why they choose to dos. The fierce competition for a good college,the tiring 996 work schedule (working from 9 a.m.to 9 p.m.,six days a week),and the skyrocketing house prices frustrate()many young people.Some even believe no matter how hard they try,they will fail.In this case,why not lie down in the first place? This trend of "lying down"calls for attention but there is no need to be afraid.On the one hand,it serves as a warning to stop the country from falling into a low-desire society,as happened in Japan,where an aging population and a large number of young people who have lost their passion()are slowing down the development of the country.On the other hand,the phrase serves more as self-mockery(自嘲)，and thus serious criticism is not necessary: Luckily,the government and more companies are seeking ways to lower the pressure of the young.For example,ByteDance Technology made new rules last November to discourage employees()from working overtime.The company told its employees not to work over 7 p.m..In recent years,the government is also putting growing efforts into lowering housing prices and providing public rental housing. Success shouldn't be about fame and money only.People from all walks of life should be looked upon as the same.For young people,what they really desire is being seen.Actually,Chinese young people are fulfilling their duties well.The average age of more than 67,000 scientists and engineers who devote themselves to China's aerospace is only 36 years old.And many do well in ordinary jobs. They live on their own,support their families,and work for the society. They may lie down for a while when they are tired,but they will never be beaten down. 27.What can we learn about the trend of"lying down"from the passage? A.It stops the country from falling into a low-desire society. B.It started in Japan,where young people lost their passion. C.It is unnecessary to care about young people's"lying down" D.It shouldn't be taken too seriously as young people use it as self-mockery 28.What is Paragraph 5 mainly about? A.What has been done to lower housing prices. 9W816go日 .3m0g B.How Chinese young people lower their pressure. 6979ty9a1 C.What actions have been taken to help young people. D.How companies stop young people from "lying down". kwedge.good problemnOfentimennd ou problem and come up withomore easiyo paper.More imporanily joumaling work beat when you keep doing,but even can(偶尔的) onnbeevingToreduce prere effectivelyjoulingcn take several forms,and here are several choices that can work for you.
