It's not easy being a teenager—nor is it easy being the parent of a teenager.You can make your child feel angry，hurt，or misunderstood by what you say without realizing it yourself.It is important to give your child the space he needs to grow while making him realize that you'll still be there for him when he needs you.
Expect a lot from your child，just not everything.Except for health and safety problems，such as drug use or careless driving，consider everything else open to discussion，if your child is unwilling to discuss something，don't insist he tell you what's on his mind.The more you insist，the more likely that he'll clam up.Instead，let him attempt to solve (解决) things by himself.At the same time，remind him that you're always there for him if he seek advice or help.Show respect for your teenager's privacy(隐私).Never read his mail or listen in on personal conversations.
Teach your teenager that the family phone is for the whole family.If your child talks on the family's telephone for too long，tell him he can talk for 15 minutes，but then he must stay off the phone for at least an equal period of time.This frees up the line so that other family members can make and receive calls，teaches your teenager moderation(节制).Or if you are open to the idea，allow your teenager to have his own phone that he pays for with his own pocket money or a part time job.

When I was going home to India last year，I called up my mother to ask if she wanted anything from China.
When India had not opened up its markets to the world，I carried suitcase loads of dark glasses and jeans.Thankfully，we can get all these anywhere in India now.
Still，her answer surprised me：“Green tea.”
As long as I can remember she didn't even drink Indian tea.
I dutifully bought a big packet of Longjing and headed home to hear the story.My mother and her brother，both regular newspaper readers，believed that Chinese green tea was the wonder drug for all illnesses.
At the turn of the century，China was not really familiar to the average Indian.It was a strange country.
How things change! And how soon!
Now every town of any size seems to have a “China Market”.And everyone is talking about China.
The government of India has planned to send a team to China to see how things are done.A minister once said that India must open the doors for more foreign investment(投资) and such a step would “work wonders as it did for China”.
But it's a two way street.I just heard about a thousand Shenzhen office workers who have gone to Rangalore to train in software.Meanwhile，all the IT majors are setting up a strong presence in China.
No wonder that trade，which was only in the millions just ten years ago，is expected to hit about USMYM15 billion for last year and USMYM20 billion by 2008，a goal set by both governments.
No wonder，my colleague wrote some weeks ago about this being the Sino Indian(中印)century as the two countries started on January 1，the Sino Indian Friendship Year.
But what is still a wonder to me is my mother drinking Chinese tea.

D.The exchanges between India and China benefit both.
( )38.What do we know about the Indian IT industry?
A.It will move its head office to Shenzhen.
B.It is seeking further development in China.
C.It has attracted an investment of USMYM15 billion.

While the private schools may be charging too much，some of the publics are risking their futures by charging too little.Low tuition is fine，as the state assigns enough money to education，as has generally been the case in Texas and California.But for years，New Jersey's legendary resistance to taxes condemned Rutgers University to second-class status.“Of what real worth is a low-tuition policy，” wrote Rutgers' former president，the late Edward Bloustein，“If it dooms students to an education below the quality they want and require?”
New York State's students might ask themselves the same.A series of protests pressured Governor Maria Cuomo into canceling a $200 rise in tuition last year (prices haven't gone up since 1983).And what's the result? Greatly-reduced budgets，shabby campuses，course restrictions，limited library hors and various new student fees.
The irony of New York and other state systems is that the percentage of higher-income students they serve is increasing at a phenomenal rate，says Arthur Hauptman of the American Council on Education.Given this changing population，more states should start playing the Robin Hood game increasing their sticker price，discounting rates to low-income students and using the rest of the money to raise the quality of their schools.
The middle-class melt and the betterment of public universities are still in their very earliest stages.But these trends will intensify as the children of the burdened boomers reach college age.For the academics，it's a wake-up call.In the next century，they'll have to be affordable and good.

A.they yield to the pressure of protesters

A.private universities will join in the thrice competition
B.public universities have to withdraw from the price competition
C.rich students find ways of paying less by taking the advantage of the policy
D.rich students should be entitled to equal opportunities as poor students
43.In order to maintain their high quality at the stone time of opening the floor to low-income students，public universities have to _________.
A.enlist their students for some voluntary jobs
