The teenage year from 13 to 19 were the most difficult time for me. They were also the best and worse years in my life. At the first, I thought I knew everything and could make decisions by yourself. However, my parents didn’t seem to think such. They always tell me what to do and how to do it. At one time ,I ever felt my parents couldn，t understand me so I hoped I could be freely from them. I showed them I was independent by wear strange clothes. Now I am leaving home to college. At last, I will be on my own, but I still want to have my parents to turn to whenever need help.

However, Britain measures up pretty well in other departments. It is the second safest place in Europe to drive a car, beaten only by Norway. There are many more fatal road accidents in France, Spain and Portugal. Also, the reputation the British have for being work-shy is not confirmed(確認) by statistics. At an average of forty-four hours a week they beat even the hard-working Germans by four hours. Unfortunately, there is a downside to this. Britain and Holland share the worst rates of job absenteeism(曠工) in the whole of Europe. The Dutch and the British, so alike in many superficial(表面的) senses, differ markedly in one area: The British lock up twice as many people as the Dutch do.

The makers of a hotly debated computer game about bullying have decided to go ahead and put it into market despite calls for it 【1】(forbid). In the game, players take on the role of a new student at a school and have to fight the bullies , by striking them or hitting them

【2】 a baseball bat.

Critics have said that the game encourages 【3】(violent). The makers, however, disagree and say that, while the game might be a little violent at times, it is just an 【4】 (amuse) look at school life. Besides, they argue that the fighting in the game 【5】( direct) against the bullies to protect students who are being bullied. The makers also say that the players will learn to stand up to bullies, 【6】 use their strength or power to hurt or frighten other people. “Nobody should bully others just because they want to feel stronger or【7】(important),” said the makers.

A British politician, a former minister, has called for it to be banned as it might have 【8】negative influence on the way young people think of violent behaviors.

The Silver Bore

Daniel Jones

If you've ever seen a pirate film in the past, you can save your money. This is one of the most predictable films I have seen this year. The plot is totally unbelievable and the script is something very unprofessional out of filmmaker college.【1】 .Great support acting from the Frenchman Thierry Montpasse as the evil Captain Scar is the only striking aspect.

【2】

Angela Moore

I just loved this fast-moving pirate thriller. The story moves at dizzying speed from one terrifying battle scene to the next 【3】. Chief pirate, British actor Colin Williams, is given all the best, wittiest lines and the film has its share of laughs as well as scary moments. The storm scene at the beginning leaves you both exhausted and terrified.

A Hidden Treasure

Max Court

I found this film absolutely delightful. An inspiring cast is directed with great skill and invention by German Dieter Muller. The ship chase creates a lot of tension and excitement.【4】. Mystery lovers will expect their appetites to be fully satisfied.

Sharp Sword Drama

William Wilson

The Silver Glove is an action-packed pirate drama in the best traditions of this type. If you only want sword fights and buried treasure, you may be disappointed as this fascinating film also offers a complex plot which is never dull. Some of the language may be too crude for younger children, 【5】 . But this is really my only complaint. Some fine acting completes this fun movie.

A.Glove Sinks In The Sea
B. There are plenty of surprises in the story to keep the audience guessing until the last minute.
C. There is some nice photography of film making, but the Hawaiian scenery is not enough to save this film.
D. which may be regarded as a warning for parents
E. and you really feel as if you are on the ships with these evil thieves and smugglers
F. Pirates At The Speed Of Light

G. and you knew what was going to happen in the film
