【推荐2】Coffee is the smell of childhood at my grandma’s house, and the     1    (pleasure) smell spread the house as she told me     2    (story) of being a migrant from Europe after the war — she always said she found not having real coffee     3    (hard) than learning English. Coffee is my dad and mum     4    (watch) ABC News after dinner every night.

It is travelling from Adelaide to Hobart with my brother in his car, camping as we     5    (run) out of money, and spending the money we just earned     6    a bottle of beer at    7    start of our trip. Coffee is me on a Sunday morning, as a little girl, lying     8    (cosy) in bed with my kitties and reading the newspapers. And now it is me going to work in a coffee bar     9    (base) in Tasmania and making people’s days a bit better with my job.     10    is also related to coffee is a saying: First cup you are a visitor, second cup you are a friend and by the third cup you are family.

James’ granddad wrote to help James quit smoking. He once became addicted to cigarettes in three ways. His body was accustomed to     1     (have) nicotine. He began to do it     2    (automatic) and became mentally addicted. But     3     realizing the harmful effects of smoking on the body, he finally managed to stop. He also told James smoking did damage to heart and lungs, and     4     it was more difficult for smoking couple to become pregnant. So he gave James some     5    (advise). Firstly, be well-prepared and be determined. Decide on a day to quit. Don’t choose a day that he knows is going to be     6    (stress). Once he decides, he should carry it out. Secondly, relax himself. When feeling nervous, do not reach     7     a cigarette. Instead try some deep breath and do some exercises. Thirdly, get help if he need     8    . If he feels desperate, don’t hesitate to ask for help from his friends or join a stop-smoking group. Finally, keep trying. Don’t be disappointed if he doesn’t see the immediate effects. Just try again and he     9    (succeed) in the end.

All these might help James to stop and     10    (strong) his resolve.

The evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families. But it seems that four out of five young people now get on with their parents, which is the opposite of the popular-held image of unhappy teenagers     1     (lock) in their room after endless family quarrels.

An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious than it has ever been in the past. “We were surprised by just    2     positive today＇s young people seem to be about their families, said one member of the research team. “They’re expected to be rebellious and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds: They want a car and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well. There’s     3    (much) negotiation and discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process. They don’t want to rock the boat.

So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago    4    (treat) their children as friends. “My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me,＂says 1-year-old Daniel Lazall.“I always tell them when I’m going out clubbing.     5     they know what I’m doing, they’re fine with it.” Susan Crome, who is now 21,agrees. “Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of    6     you could call negotiation. For example, if I     7    (do) all my homework, I could go out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that.

Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected. It is possible that the idea of teenage rebellion is not rooted in real facts. A researcher comments, “Our surprise    8     teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history     9     teenagers were regarded as different beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents mainly happened during that one time in the1960s when everyone rebelled. The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to    10    (take) it over.”
