Should teenagers be asked to move out when they start working? In many Western countries, teenagers are allowed to move out at eighteen. Their parents believe that they should be educated to take care of themselves from a young age. This way, when they start working they can manage their own lives. However, in most Asian societies, it is not common for teenagers to move out. Chinese parents believe that it is better for children to live with parents who can take care of them. But the young should then look after their parents as they get older. That is why many Chinese adults continue to live with their parents.

①Have you ever wondered what goes through your mind when you choose where to sit in a new classroom? Or in a waiting room full of strangers? Or on a bus? Researchers have found out some interesting facts．
②Girls sit by girls and boys sit by boys．Adults sit together and young people choose another young person to sit near．But it goes further than this．We even choose to sit near someone who looks like us．People with glasses are more likely to sit near other people with glasses．People with long hair sit closer to other people with long hair．
③We seem to believe that people with similar habits or hobbies will share similar experiences and we are more likely to be accepted by people like ourselves, or even, we think we may be safer with people who look like us．Sometimes that’ s true but it’s a pity if we always stay with the same people, the same group．The danger in always staying in our comfort zone (舒适区)is that we just recycle the same opinions, the same tastes and the same ideas．We lose the chance to learn something new, find out interesting things, hear funny stories and discover differences．

If you want to live in a society that opens to changes, new things and different opinions, be the cat among the pigeons(鸽子)．
⑤Move out of your comfort zone．Go and sit next to someone different．And don’t just sit there in silence．Say hello．Ask a question．Start a conversation．That’s how we make friends．That’s how we learn about people．That’s how we open our minds to new ideas．That’s how we live an exciting life．From the passage, we know that people prefer sitting by someone who________．

Once a king got two nice falcons(猎鹰)from his son．He had never seen such beautiful falcons before．He loved them so much and he ordered the best falconer to train them to fly.
After several months, the king came to see how the training was going on．He found that one falcon had already been able to fly high in the sky, while the other was staying on the branch(树枝) of a tree quietly, just keeping still.
The king called all his falconers together and ordered them to try every way they could to make the other falcon fly．But none of them succeedeD． One day, while the king was taking a walk in the forest, an idea came to his minD． Maybe someone who knew the natural environment well could solve this problem．He sent for a farmer who lived in the forest into his palace to train it at once.

The farmer replied, “It’s very easy．I just cut off the branch where the falcon rested.”

Eating habits are different in different countries．The Chinese have a saying “Eat good things for breakfast, eat a big meal for lunch, but eat less at dinner．” Many Americans agree that one should start the day with a good breakfast, but their ideas about lunch and dinner are different．
Most Americans only give themselves a short time for lunch．So they eat a small lunch．After work they will have more time to eat a big dinner, also a quiet dinner at home with all the family talking about their day is a way to take a good rest after a long, hard day of work．
Eating at restaurants is also different．In China, people like to talk and laugh while eating．Very often you can hear people talking and laughing loudly, and they are just having a good time．In America it is not like this．They want a quiet place where they can eat a good meal far away from the noises of the outside world． If someone is talking too loudly, the manager of the restaurant will look at him or her angrily．If some people are talking too loudly, the manager of the restaurant may come out and ask them to be quiet．
