But now they seem to take it for granted that they can show up any time they like. They bring boyfriends over, talk on the phone and stay out forever.I enjoy having my friends here sometimes it makes the place feel comfortable and warm but this is my home, not a party house. I was old enough to move out on my own, so why cant I seem to ask my friends to respect my privacy?JoanEdwards reply to JoanDear Joan:If your family didnt pay attention to your needs when you were a child, you probably have trouble letting others know your needs now.And if youve gathered your friends around you to rebuild a happy family atmosphere, you may fear that saying no will bring back the kind of conflict you grew up with or destroy the nice atmosphere you now enjoy.

But you may not know its role in strengthening international relations, as it did in the case of US President George W. Bushs visit to China last November.President Bush arrived in Beijing on November 19, 2005 after he finished the APEC meeting in South Korea.He met with Chinese top leaders and achieved agreements on trade, Taiwan issue and more.Although Bushs trip was short as 40 hours, he managed to spare a moment to do some cycling. On November 20, he rode up and down a steep path at Laoshan Olympic Mountain Bike Course in Beijings suburbs.Six young Chinese cyclists accompanied the president, who was dressed in a Chinese training uniform with the “Beijing 2008” logo. He did not go along the arranged route and chose a more zigzag(曲折的) hiking path.“How do you say, take it easy on the old man?” Bush joked to his partners before setting out.“Compared with my bike path on the Crawford ranch (农场) , this one is greater and really difficult,” said Bush when his 45-minute ride ended. He said he will come to Beijing for the 2008 Olympic Games.This is not Bushs first cycle ride in Beijing. In 1975 at the age of 29, he visited the Chinese capital for the first time, when his father was head of the US liaison office (联络处) in Beijing, which Bush described as “fantastic”.However, observers said Bushs ride is much more than just his favorite pastime. It expressed friendliness with people in China, where the bicycle is an important part of life and culture.According to the Washington Post, one of the major newspapers in the US, this was a specially arranged activity by the US government, for they want to send the Chinese a sign of friendship. “The president is by no means hostile (有敌意的) to China,” it said.66.

Bush went cycling _.A. wearing a T-shirt with the “Beijing 2008” logoB. up and down a smooth path on Laoshan Mountain C. accompanied by six young Chinese policemenD. along a more challenging way without arrangement69. Bush said “take it easy on the old man” to his partners probably because _.A. he wanted to make them easyB. he wanted to make a joke about themC. he wanted to tell them it would be a more zigzag hiking pathD. he wanted to show them it would not be an easy task for an old man70. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Bushs first cycle ride was in 1975.B. Bushs ride was specially arranged by the Washington Post.C.
