【推荐1】In western society, especially in the English-speaking world, the chance for young people to visit other countries is considered important. Many young people spend a year traveling in different countries after they finish high schooly at the age of 18 before they go to university (They call “it” a gap year).     1    .

Parents often want their children to grow up a little and see what the real world is like, some parents may be worried about their children’s safety but more think that the advantage of independence are worth the worries.     2    .

Young people also want to experience freedom and see what life is like on the other side. This other side could be the other side of the world or just the other side of life.     3    

    4     A little bit of growing up and experience will help them make their important decisions about jobs, especially when they are unsure about what they want to study in college.

Another reason for a gap year is to get a break from studying before they start the next few years of university. So anywhere you travel in the world, you will meet western young people exploring the world.

So much of the world has been traveled and explored. Today’s young people are looking for more worthy experiences.     5     Many gap year volunteers are now spending a few months teaching English in Thailand, helping to feed giant pandas in China or digging wells in a village in Africa.

These young people’s wish to explore the world is an expression of their values (价值观). Both discovering the world and making a difference to it are important parts of the western values.

As Chinese young people, will you do the same?

A．Some of them work as volunteers to do something for the country that they are visiting.

B．For example, if they have a rich life, they may want to see how people in poor areas live.

C．This can give them a chance to experience different life in different corners of the world.

D．They need to learn to look after themselves.

E．A gap year is also an important chance for young people to think about what they want to do in the future.

F．In their eyes, their children’s growing up and independence are much more important.

G．They want to make some money by doing some part-time jobs.
