Dear Dr. Jackson, My parents are never happy with me. They are always criticizing (批评) my clothes, my hair and the music I listen to. They hate my friends’ looks and they keep complaining (抱怨) when I go with them. I’m not allowed to stay out as late as my friends do, so I can’t have any fun. My parents only seem to care about my school marks. Though I love them, sometimes I feel we live in different worlds. If they love me, can’t they understand me? How can I make them understand me? Angel Dear Angel, Your problem is common to both teenagers and parents. Don’t worry, because all this is natural. You see, your parents have grown up at a different time and they have different experiences. So, they think some things are strange, but you find the same things common. For example, the music you like may sound like noise to them. Your parents love you, so they feel they must protect you from whatever they find strange. On the other hand, you don’t want to be different from other teenagers, so you feel that your parents restrict you. I think you should talk about this problem with your parents. Try to explain to them what you want and make them know they can believe you. Sooner or later, they will find you are a responsible (有责任心的) person and they will give you more freedom (自由). Jackson

A Chinese man called Cai Lun invented paper almost 2000 years ago. He made it from wood.
Now paper still comes from trees. We use a lot of paper every day. Every day, people throw away about 280 tons of paper in our city. In takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. This means that we are cutting nearly 4800 trees every day. Since it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow, we must start using less paper now. If we don't, we will not have enough time to grow more trees to take the place of those we use for paper.
So how can we save paper? We can use both sides of every piece of paper, especially(特别）when we are making notes. We can choose drinks in bottles instead of those in paper packets. We also use cotton handkerchiefs(手帕）and not paper ones. When we go shopping, we can use fewer paper bags. If the shopkeeper gives you a paper bag, we can save it and reuse it later. ( )51.Who was Marco Polo?
