C Independence is an important quality that everyone should develop. It means being able to take care of oneself and make decisions without relying too much on others. For teenagers, learning to be independent is especially important as it prepares them for adult life. There are many ways to develop independence. One way is to take on household chores. Doing chores such as cleaning the room, washing dishes, and cooking simple meals can help teenagers learn responsibility and practical skills. It also makes them understand the hard work their parents do and appreciate them more. Another way to develop independence is to manage one’s own time and money. Teenagers should learn to make a schedule for their study and leisure time. This can help them balance their schoolwork and hobbies. They should also learn to budget their pocket money and make wise spending decisions. For example, they can save money to buy something they want instead of asking their parents for it. Learning to solve problems on one’s own is also a key part of developing independence. When facing difficulties, teenagers should try to find solutions by themselves first. They can ask for help from others only when they really can’t solve the problem. This can help them build confidence and improve their problem-solving skills. Developing independence doesn’t mean being isolated from others. It means being able to work with others while still maintaining one’s own opinions and making one’s own choices. Teenagers should learn to communicate with others effectively and respect different ideas. In short, developing independence is a lifelong process. It requires practice and patience. By learning to be independent, teenagers can become more confident, responsible, and capable individuals. This will help them succeed in their future studies, careers, and personal lives. 41. What does the underlined word “independence” mean in Chinese? A. 依赖 B. 独立 C. 自信 D. 勇敢 42. Why is developing independence important for teenagers? A. It helps them get good grades. B. It prepares them for adult life. C. It makes them popular among classmates. D. It allows them to do whatever they want. 43. Which of the following is NOT a way to develop independence? A. Taking on household chores. B. Managing time and money. C. Relying on parents for all decisions. D. Solving problems on one’s own. 44. What can doing household chores help teenagers learn? A. Responsibility and practical skills. B. How to make friends. C. How to study better. D. How to cook delicious meals. 45. What does developing independence mean according to the passage? A.
