• 2．Living in a culture that is different from your own can be both an exciting and challenging experience.Let's have a look at the information below.
     Privacy（隐私）
     Chinese people do not have the same idea of privacy as Americans do.They talk about topics such as ages，income or marriage，which Americans think is annoying and makes them uncomfortable.
     Family
     In China，elders are traditionally treated with a lot of respect while the young are cherished.In America，the goal of the family is to encourage independence，particularly that of the children.Unlike the Chinese，older Americans seldom live with their children.
     Friends
     Chinese people have different meanings to define friends.Friendship means lifelong friends who feel deeply obligated to give each other whatever help might seem required.Americans always call people they meet friends.There are work friends，playing friends，school friends and drinking friends.
     Money
     As is well known，the Chinese like to save.They always plan how to spend money.It is different in the USA，where far fewer families are saving money for emergencies and education.
     Education
     Chinese people value education and career more than Americans，while Americans pay more attention to good character and faith （信仰）.
     Collectivism（集体主义）vs.Individualism
     Basically China values the community and the US values the individual.If you achieve something in the USA，it's because you are great.While in China，if you achieve something in China it's because the team，or family，or company is great.Everything you do depends on the greater whole，while in America individual value is celebrated.

  A．Americans think talking about ages and income is pleasing.

• 3．"I don't like my parents.They always tell me I should do this，and I should not do that.It sometimes makes me angry，" said Zhang Hua，a middle school student in Guangzhou.（1）

  Perhaps your parents had the same problem when they were at your age long ago.Why does it seem that some parents are not so friendly in their children's eyes？
     One of the biggest things is when someone becomes a parent，he or she likes worrying.They worry about everything about you，from the time you were born.They do a lot for you，though something would make you angry，because they care about you and worry about you.They worry about your choice of friends，the food you eat，your work at school，how much sleep you get，etc.（2）

  They want you to grow up healthily and happily.
     （3）

  It's easier than you think.Just make sure your parents know what you're doing.Get them to know your friends.Phone your parents if you stay somewhere else so that they don't have to make many calls to look for you.
     （4）

  Take responsibility for what you have done.Talk about your ideas with them.They may talk about theirs with you.
     （5）

  They are still practicing being parents and they need help that you can give them.Someday，when you become a parent，they may be able to teach you how to get on with your children.
  
  

  A.You must have the same trouble. B.Do you have the same problem？ C.All these things are part of your life. D.Say sorry to them when you make mistakes. E.Because you can make your life easier. F.So how can you make things easier by yourself？ G.Most of all，try to think about why your parents do this or do that.
