Text B
文章B
As we learned from Text A, a forgiving father may finally win back the respect of his son. Keeping a very tight rein on one’s child and being overprotective may cause more problems. The following text reveals the difficulties and unhappy feelings a teenager had in the process of growing up. Read the text with the help of a dictionary before class.
就像我们从文章A中学到的一样，一位宽容的父亲终将赢回儿子的尊重。如果父母对孩子严格管束并且过度保护，可能会导致更多的问题。下面的文章揭示了青少年在成长过程中遇到的那些困难和不开心的事情。上课之前，借助字典阅读这篇文章。
The Needs of Teenagers
青少年的需求
While we're still children, most of us live at home with our parents more or less peacefully, but as we become teenagers, things change, and we all know the sort of difficulties we're likely to have. What's happening is that we're beginning to grow apart from our parents. We're a new generation that's almost ready to be independent, to leave the home where we grew up and make a new home of our own.
小的时候，绝大多数人和父母住在一起大抵能相安无事。但进人青少年时代，一切就起了变化。我们也都知道大概会碰到一些什么困难：我们跟父母越来越疏远。我们是即将独立的新一代。我们即将离开我们长大成人的家庭，建立自己的小家庭。
All human beings must grow up, but we don't all do it in the same way. Suppose, for instance, we belonged to a primitive tribe. There, as we grew up, we'd learn the skills we needed as adults ― how to hunt or fish, how to keep house and look after children. In our early teens, we'd be ready to marry and set up house near our family in the village we knew.
人人都要长大，但我们成长的方式各有不同。比如说，假如我们生活在一个原始部落里，我们就会在成长的过程中学会长大成人后所需具备的技能：如何狩猎捕鱼，如何持家和养育孩子。十几岁时，我们就准备结婚并在熟知的村庄里紧挨着父母家建立自己的家庭。
