1、Passage 8Upon reaching an appropriate age (usually between 18 and 21 years), children are
encouraged, but not forced, to ―leave the nest‖ and begin an independent life. After children leave
home they often find social relationship and financial support outside the family. Parents
do not arrange marriages for their children, nor do children usually ask permission of their parents
to get married. Romantic love is most often the basis for marriage in the United States; young
adults meet their future spouses through other friends, at jobs, and in organizations and religious
institutions. Although children choose their own spouses, they still hope their parents will approve
of their choices.
In many families, parents feel that children should make major life decisions by themselves.
A parent may try to influence a child to follow a particular profession but the child is free to
choose another career. Sometimes children do precisely the opposite of what their parents wish in
order to assert their independence. A son may deliberately decide not to go into his father‘s
business because of a fear that he will lose his autonomy in his father‘s workplace. This
independence from parents is not an indication that parents and children do not love each other.
Strong love between parents and children is universal and this is no exception in the American
family. Coexisting with such love in the American family are cultural values of self – reliance and
independence.

1、Passage 18Students can travel in the United States without spending too much money if they follow
these suggestions.
A travel agent can give you information on special economy fares for trains, buses and planes.
Think about hiking or biking for a part of your trip, too. You‘ll not only save money, but you‘ll
also see a lot more of the country.Some students may want to travel by car. Be sure to think about going with other students —
many colleges have ―ride boards‖ that list when and where other students plan to travel. Many
radio stations provide the same sort of service — they announce who‘s driving where, when, how
many riders they will take and what the expenses will be.
There are many inexpensive, older hotels near bus or train stations. Check your travel guide
for names of the best. Many parts of the country also have youth hostels where young people can
stay for only a few dollars a night.
You don‘t have to eat in restaurants all the time, but we don‘t recommend a diet of candy and
cola, either. You can usually get a healthy, cheap breakfast in a restaurant. If the weather is warm,
you can buy food in supermarkets or at roadside stands and have a picnic for lunch. For dinner
you can get the names of good, cheap restaurants from travel guides or friends3. If you want to share rides with others, you can get information ________.
A. on the blackboards in classrooms
B. from school administrators
C. through certain radio programs
D. from travel agents
