In western countries, especially in America, many young people go off on their own at 18. They go away to college to find full-time jobs, and they often rent their own apartments. Some get married and start families. This independence is learned from childhood. From an early age, American children learn responsibility. Children as young as 2 begin to put away their toys and dress themselves. At 3, many children do simple chores like setting the table. Using money wisely is also taught early. As soon as a child understands the value of money, he or she receives a weekly allowance(零花钱). This is used for things the child wants, like toys or treats. This child can spend or save it, usually with little guidance from parents. If the child wants money besides his or her allowance, it must be made by dong extra chores. Children are taught early in life to think for themselves independently. They are allowed to make some decisions and make mistakes as well. Failure often teaches more than success. Wherever you’re from, act now to pursue your dream. If you’re over 18, parents are still your back-up, but you should decide where you’re going and keep moving. 6. The American young people often do at the age of 18 EXCEPT______________. A. going to the college or getting jobs B. getting married and starting families C. renting their apartments D. keeping running 7.When do American children begin to learn to put away their toys and dress themselves?

These days, some people drink tea for health, using it to help with stress or losing weight. However, most people in tea-drinking countries think of tea as more than just a healthy drink. In fact, tea drinking in some countries is a part of the culture. In Turkey, tea is always there when people meet. Whether in someone’s home or a company, tea is always offered as a way of welcoming. In the UK, homes and offices usually have tea time. Tea and other dishes are served at tea time in the afternoon. It is a way of relaxing with friends or co-workers. Coffee came much later than tea, just over 1000 years ago. Coffee is made from beans. Something in the coffee beans makes a person feel active. Most people do not drink coffee to relax. Instead, they drink coffee to get going. Many people drink coffee in the morning to help them wake up. Others will also drink coffee during short breaks in the afternoon to keep going through the working day. Some people may visit coffee shops just to meet and talk with friends. However, many people in coffee shops drink coffee while working on their computers. Is tea or coffee more common in your country? Between the two, which do you like to drink more? 11.

Others say it you own lots of money and success, you will be happy. 16 A famous Greek thinker, Aristotle, said, “ Happiness depends on ourselves.” That’s to say, we make our own happiness. 17 . The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. 18 For example, getting into college or getting a good job, which makes us fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. If you live with a few close friends, you will feel happier and healthier. 19 Many people go dancing or do sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities. Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. 20 You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping or help out with some things around the house for an elderly person. If you can do that, you will feel happy. A. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future. B. Another secret of living a happy life is to be active. C. However, money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. D. Here are few suggestions to help you be happier. E. If you want to feel happier, you can do good things for someone.
