The expression “down to earth” means being open and honest. It is easy to get on with some one who is down to earth. A down-to-earth person is the opposite of someone who acts important or proud.

Down-to-earth people could be important members of society. But they do not consider themselves to be better than others who are less important. A person who is filled with his own importance and pride is said to“ have his nose in the air”.

Americans use another expression that is similar in some ways to down to earth. The expression is“ both feet on the ground”. Someone with both feet on the ground is a person with a good understanding of reality. He may have dreams, but he does not allow them to have influence on his understanding of what is real.

The opposite kind of person is one who “has his head in the clouds”. Someone with his head in the clouds is a person whose mind is not on what is happening in real life. Such a person may be called a day-dreamer.

When we have both our feet on the ground, and when we are down to earth, we do not have our noses in the air. We act honestly and openly to others. Our lives are like the ground below us---solid and strong.

1.A down-to-earth person could be _____.

A．social and proud                        B．good and opposite

C．real and important                       D．strong and changeable

2.The expression “has one’s nose in the air” means ______.

A．you’ll think you are better than others

B．your life will be like the solid and strong ground

C．you’ll be hated by down-to-earth people

D．your life will be filled with love.

4.If you want to understand what is real in life, you have to ____.

A．get along with other people easily

B．learn from those who are down to earth

C．be a good dreamer with quick mind

D．have your head in the clouds.

If the child has been brought up in a loving, openly communicative environment, the relationship with parents would be a strong one．It is only when there are ongoing troubles in the relationship between parents and the child that there is a breakdown in communication．

When parents are going through difficulties in their own relationship, the child sometimes develops guilt．The child can hold himself or herself responsible for the breakdown in relationship between the parents．This needs to be explained to the child, who won’t speak out this guilt．

The teenage years are emotionally sensitive years to the outside world．For the first time the child realizes his or her position in society．Friends suddenly become more important than parents．It is during this time that the relationship between children and parents is tested．If the bond with parents is strong, the child will not be influenced by the drug and alcohol culture．If the bond is weaker, the child will end up with problems．

During such times, one of the effective ways to deal with the problems is to discuss the problem with the child．As parents, you will need to discuss the results of each choice and then leave the final decision to the child．Forcing parental will on children is counterproductive (適得其反的), especially at this age．Forcing parental will at this time will stop communicating and then you will not know what is happening in their life．Whatever the problem is, the child need never be made to feel lonely．The moment that happens, the possibility of serious self-harm is raised．

Any problem at this age can be dealt with by a flexible (靈活的) way by parents．Discuss things calmly．Leave the decision to the individual．Make yourself available for any help or support that the child hopes．The child will feel comfortable when allowed the freedom of choice．

1.If parents have trouble with their relationship, the child __________ ．

A．will communicate with their parents

B．will be responsible for the trouble

C．will feel guilty about the trouble

D．will help the parents recover

2.According to the text, what will lead the child to get into trouble?

A．The sense of responsibility．

B．A weak bond with parents．

C．Feeling depressed or stressed

D．The child’s confidence．

3.Which of the following ways can help solve the children’s problem?

A．Letting the children be．

B．Discussing it with the children．

C．Forcing parental will on them

D．Meeting their demands．

4.The underlined word “forcing” can be replaced with the word“________ .”

A．Weakening．                          B．Pressing．

C．Understanding．                        D．Losing．

5.What is the text mainly about?

A．The bond between parents and children．

B．Causes of teenagers’ problems．

C．Teenagers’ problems and solutions．

D．Always letting the children decide．

“Just do it!”

Do something, but only if you think it’s necessary. And if so, why not do it wearing Nike?        “Always Coca Cola.”  It seems to say “Coke is the only drink there is; there are no other forms of drink.”      “Share moment, share life.”  We can remember the happy moments in life by taking photos of them— using Kodak film of course!

D                           E                          F

“Make yourself heard”. When you hear this slogan, you will know there is Sony Ericsson product for you to call anyone.                          “Project Hope —Schooling every child.”

It educates people about public service projects, such as Project Hope.      “Bright-teeth fights bad breath!” It wants you to read the word “fight” and think that the toothpaste can make the bad breath disappear.
