With any relationship, you need to let the other person know how you are feeling. If you are not able to communicate, you drift apart. When you are mad at your parents, or anyone else, not talking to them doesnt solve anything.Communication begins with the concerns of another. It means that you cant just come home from school, go up to your room and ignore everyone. Even if you just say “Hi”, and see how their day was for five minutes, it is better than nothing.If you looked up the word “communication” in a dictionary, it would say “the exchange of ideas, the conveyance of information; means of communication: a letter or a message”. To maintain a good relationship, you must keep communication strong. Let people know how you feel, even if its just by writing a note.When dealing with parents, you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as a parent. If you are trying to make them see something as you see it, tell them that youll listen to what they have to say, but ask them politely to listen to you. Yelling or walking away only makes the situation worse.This is an example: one night, Sophie went to a street party with her friends. She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks, but she didnt feel she could just ask to go home. That would be rude. After all, they had been nice enough to take her along with them. Needless to say, she was late getting home. Her parents were mad at first, not when Sophie explained why she was late, they werent as mad and let the incident go. Communication is the key factor here. If Sophies parents had not been willing to listen, Sophie would have been in a lot of trouble.Communication isnt a one-way deal: it goes both ways. Just remember: if you get into a situation like Sophies, telling the other person how you feel listening is the key factor to communication.28. In the writers view, dealing with parents is _ than with children. A. more difficult B. easier C. more uninteresting D. more interesting29. The main idea of the second paragraph is _. A. the importance of friendship B. to make your feeling known to others C. the importance of communication D. the disagreement between generations30. The example in this passage proves that _. A. communication is the solution to misunderstanding B. Sophie is very polite to her parents C. Sophie did well in explaining her being late D. Sophies parents are willing to listen to her31. All the following statements are correct except _. A. If you dont agree with others, youd better let them know B. If you are not able to communicate, walk away C. It is better to say “Hi” to others than say nothing D. Communication is a two-way deal DNo messy coinsand more importantly - no embarrassment. This is how young Chinese go Dutch these daysscan a QR code and pay their share via smart phones in one easy click.It was the first time most of the 13 people at my dinner table last weekend had used the function on social networking tool WeChat.It has made going Dutch lessembarrassingand so much more fun, said Zhou Ye, a Beijing-based journalist. Young people think splitting bills this way is fun, and older ones may find it fashionable to do so. Most importantly, it saves people the embarrassment of figuring out who owes what.Splitting the bill is a relatively new idea to most Chinese. Its being popular among the young people, but for many older folks, who fear losing face, it feels embarrassing. At dinner parties, families and friends often fight over who will cover the expense.Used by 600 million Chinese, WeChat is similar to WhatsApp but has many more features. One of them, WeChat Wallet, allows people to pay for almost any service by smart phones. The bill splitting function was launched last year. Owned by Chinese Internet giant Tencent, the payment platform competes with Alibabas Alipay, which is widely used and also has a bill splitting function.The smart phone apps that rely on these payment platforms have transformed the lives of many urban Chinese. Massages, haircuts, house cleaning, laundry services and personal trainers can be ordered in your own home. Zhao Mengsha, 28, an editor in a magazine enjoys a manicure （美甲）once every month, and pays half of the price charged in salons. Its just really convenient, she said. I wouldnt have thought about getting a massage at work without the apps. Like millions of others, Zhao uses Alipay and WeChat to pay for the services. You can make do without a wallet but cant live without your smart phone when you go out these days, Zhao said.32. What is the advantage for the young people to pay their share via smart phones?A.

Here, the four things are offered to consider before taking the leap into overseas volunteering.Choose your organization carefully 36 volunteering may be a fundraising mechanism(筹资机制) for a development project. For others, volunteering is fundamental to their programs, and those serving take on professional roles in longer-term development. 37 Volunteers want to help and make a difference, but most know this isnt a purely selfless act.
