One day， his mother said to him， “Max， there is a very important telephone number. That is 911. You must memorize it. If anything bad h 3 or if you are in trouble， this is the number to call.” People in America dial 911 if they need h 4 .

Millions of words have been written about young people in the United States. There are reasons for this great i 1 in the ideas， feelings and actions of youth.

Today there are about seven million Americans in colleges and universities. Young people

u 2 twenty-five make up nearly half of the American p 3 . Many of these will soon be in charge of the nation. Naturally their ideas are i 4 to everyone in the country， and it is n 5 for old people to understand what they t 6 and how they feel.

College students today have strong opinions about r 7 and wrong. They are deeply interested in m 8 a better life for people， e 9 for the lives of their parents. It is hard for them to see what is right and good in the older ways. A 10 a result， there is often trouble in American families. You may meet such problems in your country， too.

All of us want to be heard， but are we listening when other people are speaking？ Doing it well n 1 lots of practice. Here are some useful tips.

First， give them your full attention. Put down your pen. Turn off your cell phone. Show them you are i 2 in listening to them.

Second， use body language. Meet t 3 eyes. Nod， smile and say “Mm hum.”， “Yeah！”， “I see.”， or “Really？” to show that you are listening.

T 4 ， let them talk. Say things like ‘That’s really interesting.” or “I’d like to hear more.” Don’t finish their sentences for them. Don’t change the s 5 to talk about yourself， either. A good listener listens about 80% of the time d 6 the conversation and spends only 20% of the time talking. Remember that we have two ears and one mouth for a reason―listen more， speak 1 7 .

Fourth， be slow to share your i 8 . It’s possible that the speakers just want to feel heard and understood. So share your own ideas only w 9 they are needed.

Last but not least， put yourself in their shoes. You may not have a lot in common with them. But you can t 10 to see their problems through their eyes. In doing so， you are better able to understand them and their problems.

The other day， my friends and I got to talking about the rules that we have in school.

At our school， we have to w 1 uniforms every day. The problem is that all my classmates think the uniforms a 2 ugly. We think young people should look s 3 and so we would like to wear our own clothes. Our teachers believe that if we did that， we would concentrate more on our clothes t 4 on our studies. We disagree. We would feel more comfortable and that is good for s 5 . If we can’t do that， we should be allowed to design our own uniforms. That would be a good way to keep both teachers and students h 6 . It’s also probably a good idea for parents to a 7 teenagers to study in groups during the evening. I know we get noisy sometimes， b 8 we learn a lot from each other. We also think that vacations should be longer. At present they’re too short. Longer vacations would g 9 us time to do things like volunteering. Last summer I had an opportunity to volunteer at the local hospital， but I couldn’t because I had to go back to school. It would be a good experience for me because I want to b 10 a doctor when I’m older.

Many people in London prefer to live outside it， and to go to work or school every day by train， car or bus， even though this means they have to get up e 1 and arrive home late.

One advantage of living outside is that houses are c 2 . Even a small flat in London without a garden c 3 quite a lot to rent. With the same money， one can get a little house in the country with a garden. Then， in the country one can be away from the n 4 and hurry of the town. One can sleep better at night and enjoy the f 5 ， clean air of the country. If one likes gardens， he or she can spend free time digging， planting， w 6 and doing jobs which are needed in a garden. Then， when the flowers and v 7 come up， he or she will enjoy them.

Some people， h 8 ， take no interest in country things. For them， happiness lies in the town， with its cinemas and theatres， beautiful s 9 and busy streets. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live o 10 London. A two-week visit to the sea every summer is what they want.

Dear everyone，

I’m one in a million！Over a million young girls like me have been helped by you. I thought you might like to hear the story of how you helped me.

My village is very poor and my parents could not a 1 to send me to a senior high school. I had to leave school after junior high school. My future did not look good. It s 2 that I had no chance of going to a senior high school， so I could not dream o 3 going to college. But I really liked school， b 4 in school we can learn about many different things.

I know the Spring Bud Project is only one part of your charity work. But， for me， it is the most important part， because this project paid f 5 me to go to senior high school and college. Now I am in my final year at college and I can h 6 for a good future. I want to be successful in my life. Then I can make sure that my child won’t need charity to pay for his or her education. I hope that in the future I can d 7 money to your charity so that you can help more young girls like me. I know you always need people to give money. Hopefully people both i 8 and outside China will be generous. It would be wonderful if every young girl in China could go to college. I enjoy school so much and I would like everyone to f 9 as happy as me.

Thank you so much for your k 10 . Let me promise you that I will work hard and try to make you proud of me.

Thank you again.

Yours truly，

Zhao Ya
