Just Ask I am Jakub, and you can call me Kuba. I am an English teacher living in Beijing. My field of study is family education. Tell me what’s on your mind and I’ll see how I can help you.
	Dear Jakub, My parents plan everything for me. They plan my schoolwork, my free time and even my holidays. I told them that I want to make my own plans, but they do not listen. What should I do? Li Lingling, 14
	Hi, Lingling, Our parents always see us as their little children. They want to take care of us. But sometimes they forget that we are growing up and can start to make our own choices.
Maybe it is still too early for you to live or travel alone. But there are many small actions you can do to show your parents you are more independent. For example, you can do chores like cleaning the bathroom after you take

a shower, cooking a meal or washing clothes on the weekends. These small actions show that you don’t wait for your parents to do everything. The same is true for hobbies. If you want to learn painting or sports, you can look for a school and offer to pay part of the cost. To do this, you can use your allowance (零花钱) you have saved up. This is a good way to show adults you are becoming more independent. And then maybe from time to time your parents can allow you to make your decisions. Jakub

C. Doing chores is helpful. D. Different hobbies can make you happy.

13. Where can you read the passage?

A. In a magazine. B. In a novel. C. In a travel guidebook. D. In a book report.

China has completed its BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (北斗卫星导航系统), or BDS, becoming another one in the world with a global navigation network (导航网络), and the other three are GPS of the US, GLONASS of Russia and Galileo of the European Union.

As the name suggests, the global navigation system (全球导航系统) provides navigation and location services 24 hours a day. From what we have known so far, building a good satellite system costs a lot. Besides, the other systems have been set up. Why does China have a new one if there is nothing special?

The other three systems have 24 satellites (卫星). Besides the 24 satellites, China’s new BeiDou-3 (BDS-3) has six more satellites. They can improve BDS’ accuracy (精准性).

BDS has another strong point—the short message service. It allows users to have a two-way communication. In areas not covered by communication signals, BDS can make the short message service available in some uninhabited areas, such as deserts, forests, and mountains. With this service, users who are in danger can tell the
