Eric and Chen first met in their Maths class at an American college. Chen was an international student from China. He wanted to learn about American culture and hoped he and Eric would become good friends. At first, Eric seemed friendly. He always greeted Chen warmly before class. Sometimes he offered to study with Chen. He even invited Chen to eat lunch with him. But after the term was over and they were in different classes, Eric seemed more distant. They didn’t see each other very much at college. One day Chen called Eric ,But Eric didn’t seem very interested in talking to him, Chen was hurt by Eric’s change of attitude（态度）.“Eric said we were friends.”Chen said.“I thought friends were friends forever. As a foreigner, he doesn’t understand the way Americans view friendship.
Americans use the word “friend” in a very general way . Their friendship is based on common interests. When the shared activity ends, the friendship may die. Now as Eric and Chen are no longer classmates, their“friendship”has changed.
In some cultures friendship means a strong life-long tie between two people—friendship develops slowly, since it is built to last. American friendship develops quickly, and it may change just as quickly.
Learning how Americans view friendship can help non-Americans remove misunderstandings（误解）. It can help them make friends in the American way.

Students who play sports do better in school. Some people think that doing exercise will take up students’ study time.

Now there is a family problem. Nearly every parent says that we never grow up. In fact we are probably 16 or 17 years old. In their eyes, we are always little ones and often do wrong things. For example, when I need to stay at home alone, they always worry about me and my life without them.
Most parents always think that they have offered the best things they can to make their children live in a comfortable world. They buy their children pretty clothes, cool shoes, everything that they can for their dear children. In return, they only want their children to get good results in the exams.
But why still can’t their children understand them? Does it mean that we still want more material things? No. As a matter of fact, what we want is a true family. What does a true family mean”? I think it means a place where we can hide ourselves from the cold world outside. From here, we can get warmth, we can get consolation(安慰), and we can get happiness. And one important thing is that we should be stronger and more confident in the outside world because we know that we have a true family.
So I think that parents should sit down to talk with their children to let know that they have a true family, so the children and their parents could understand each other more and more. Then, parents will not treat their children as little ones.
In the eyes of most parents, children never ____________and seldom do_____________.
Most parents always think they _______________ the best things for their children to live in the world _______________.
Children still _________________their parents because what children need most is not material things but _________________.
Most parents want their children to get _________________in the exams while their children want to get _______________.
The way to __________________ between parents and children is that they should have more communication with each other. Then, no children will ______________as little ones.
