When I was a kid, I loved to listen to my grandfather’s stories. I was fascinated
by the difference of the world where he grew up compared to the world where I was
born.
When I got older, I moved away from my home country, Italy, and I started travelling
to many countries for study and work, such as India and Japan. However, still today,
the few times a year I see my grandpa he tells me stories of his childhood and youth.
I try every time to imagine and picture how it would have felt to live in the same
time and place where he was when he was a child.
A few years ago, while I was in the UK, my grandpa had an accident. Fortunately it
was nothing too serious, but bad enough to make me realize that he wouldn’t be there
forever. One day, he will go away, with all the stories that I love to remember and
that I would want my kids to know. I always believe that knowing the stories of our
ancestors helps create personal identity and brings families together.
A recent article from The New York Times confirms this, showing scientific evidence
of the importance of remembering and collecting the stories of the ancestors in
creating a happier family. Click here if you are interested in reading the NYT
article.

the accident, I felt the sudden urge to start collecting his stories. I first asked
him to remember who our ancestors were, and which city or village they came from.

C
Trees are useful to man in three very important ways：they provide him wood and other
products；they give him shade；and they help to prevent drought(干旱)and floods．
Unfortunately，in many parts of the world，man has not realized that the third of
these services is the most important．In his eagerness to draw quick profit from
the trees，he has cut them down in large numbers.
Two thousand years ago，a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build
warships，with which to gain itself an empire .It gained the empire but，without
its trees，its soil became bare and poor．When the empire fell to pieces，the country
found itself faced by floods and starvation．
Even where a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees，
it is difficult sometimes to make the people realize this．They cut down the trees
but are too careless to plant and look after new trees. So，unless the government
has a good system of control，or can educate the people，the forests slowly disappear.
This does not only mean that there will be fewer trees．The results are even more
serious：for where there are trees，their roots break the soil up，allowing the rain
to sink in，and also bind the soil．This prevents the soil from being washed away．But
where there are no trees，the rainfalls on hard ground and flows away on the surface，
and this causes floods and the rain carries away the rich topsoil in which crops
grow When all the topsoil is gone．nothing remains but worthless desert．
Trees are useful to man mainly in three ways，the most important of which is that
they can
A. keep him from the hot sunshine B．enable him to build warships C．make him draw
quick profit from them D. protect him from droughts and floods 10．It’s a great

A. unless a country has a plenty supply of trees B．unless people stop cutting

rainwater to sink in C．prevent the soil from being washed away D. make the

Many teenagers feel that the most important people in their lives are their
friends．They believe that their family




members, especially their parents don’t know them as well as their friends do．In
large families, it is often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and
then they can only go to their friends for advice．
It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or many friends．Even
when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking among
themselves on the phone．This communication is very important in children’s growing
up, because friends can discuss something difficult to say to their family members.
However, parents often try to choose their children’s friends for them．Some parents
may even stop their children from meeting their good friends. The question of
“choice” is an interesting one．Have you ever thought of the following questions?
Who choose your friends?
Do you choose your friends or your friends choose you? Have you got good friend your
parents don’t like?
13．Many teenagers think their know them better than their parents do．
