   Everyone needs a break, and vacations are not meant for serious study. 【小题1】 The Spring Festival is coming up so this is the perfect time to discuss some great English language literature to take on a long train journey.

Before getting into the recommendation, you need to determine your English reading comprehension level. If you’re at the beginner level, there are two options: reading a children’s book or reading a book that you’ve read in Chinese translation. 【小题2】 If you’re at the intermediate level, popular books like pop fiction, mysteries and thrillers are good options. For advanced readers, classic works of literature or modern prize winners (Nobel, Pulitzer) are good options.

【小题3】 When I pick up a book I like, even though the first few chapters are really hard to get through, I would try to get accustomed to the language the author uses. Generally, after the first few chapters, things get a lot easier, especially if I get involved in the story.

Another great way to keep yourself motivated is to find a friend who’s interested in reading the same book. You can make goals that you both want to achieve. 【小题4】

Some quick recommendations: Harry Potter, start with the first book and go on from there; the Narnia series; anything by US writer Michael Crichton; and if you like horror, US writer Stephen King is always unusual and fun. 【小题5】 Happy reading!

A.If you pick a book which is so challenging, it will be too stressful.
B.The most important thing is to pick a book that you’re really interested in.
C.You may also enjoy your reading when hanging out with your family.
D.You should just find a topic or author you’re interested in, and the rest will go from there.
E.You can also discuss plot lines or vocabulary issues with each other by SMS or e-mail.
F.Instead, they’re a great way to take a break and enjoy a good book.
G.This will help you get over any unfamiliar words or phrases, since you’re already familiar with the story.

How to Listen to a Teen's Complaints

As your child reaches his teen years, he's likely experiencing a conflict(冲突)between his social and family lives. This often causes frequent complaining(抱怨). 【小题1】By listening to your teen's complaints in an active way, you make your relationship better and allow for better joint decision-making.

Believe that listening to your teen's complaints is a chance to know your teen better. By psychologically preparing yourself in this way, the conversation will go forward more easily.

Accept your teen's feelings. Understand that your teen's complaining behavior might be wrong but that his feelings are never wrong. Recognize that negative emotions are natural and do not easily fall under the control of teens or even adults. Note that your teen is at least handling his negative emotions in the right way—through words. 【小题3】

Listen patiently and carefully. 【小题4】Listen for the words in his complaints, such as "I am sick of this" or "It's unfair to me". This often shows his feelings. Through body language or eye contact, show your teen you are listening to him carefully.

   Nobody likes a fool. Developing a sense of humor is part of becoming a mature, emotionally healthy individual. Laughter is good for the soul, builds friendships and reduces stress. It serves as the glue for social situations and as an icebreaker for sadness and boredom. If you've ever been told to"lighten up"or"chill out", you should try to develop your sense of humor.
Forgive the accidental. A sudden fall is humorous not because we like to see people fall, but because it surprises us. From a spilled water glass in a meeting to Aunt Rae's teeth coming off in the Thanksgiving turkey, the embarrassment(尴尬)of accidents can be reduced by humor and a helping hand. After making sure that nobody is hurt, give a giggle rather than a scolding.
Look for the unexpected. The kid who used to look at you with his eyes closed during a test had the idea. Parents who serve green eggs and ham to their children on graduation day get the idea. Unexpected actions lighten an atmosphere and relax people.
Learn to laugh with your kids. Most of what children say and do is funny. Help them learn that accidents are sometimes funny and sometimes occasions for joining in and helping another human being. By sharing laughs and attempting to explain humor, you develop your sense of humor, as well as helping kids develop their own sense of humor.
【小题1】If you've ever been told to "lighten up"or"chill out", it means ______.
A.you are humorousB.you are blue
