32、 increasing of desertBLiving and dealing with kids can be a tough job these days，but living and dealing with parents can be even tougher.If I have learned anything in my 16 years，it is that communication is very important，both when you disagree and when you get along.

33、to let other person know how you are feeling. If you are not able to communicate，you drift（漂浮）apart.

36、 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.

45、 not used most of the time，the owners of the hotel will lose money.Building a hotel is just a beginning.
