LESSON 1　LIFESTYLES

Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

I took a motor rickshaw to the train station in the city of Belapur. The driver didn't speak much English, but understood “Belapur Railway Station”. I had my tabla, a traditional drum from India, my suitcase with my clothes and other essentials. The feeling of flying by cars in this little machine is: as if you are inside a box with tiny wheels, dashing through disorderly traffic.

I arrived at the station safely, and took a heavy breath as I unloaded my baggage before the ticket office. It was the first time that I had taken a local train to Tilak Nagar, where I was going to learn traditional vocal music. Standing in line, I counted at least 20 people staring at me. I bought my ticket, which was only 55 cents for a 20­minute train ride. The_prices_still_blow_me_away.

When the train came after 15 minutes or so, I got on with all speed, as the train only stops for a few seconds. The locals again stared at me. This was a train especially for local transport. After a while, a young man asked me if he could talk to me. He wanted to know if I was in a band. I stated no, but I love to play tabla. Through the conversation I knew he was a student of engineering with his exams being tomorrow. I wished him good luck for the exams sincerely, as I knew what it means to Indian students to get good marks on their exams. If students do not get good enough scores, job opportunities will be few in a highly­competitive environment.

The student I met helped me unload my luggage as the train reached Tilak Nagar Station. He shook my hand strongly and looked into my eyes with marks of genuine care and friendship, despite us meeting for only 20 minutes.

For most people, life is never easy. That's especially true for high school students.

Not only do you have the stress and worry of schoolwork to deal with, you also have many problems of daily life to face. Take the relationship you have with your parents for example.

When you were at primary school, your parents were probably your heroes. Whatever they did and whatever they said were always so interesting and funny, but as you grew older, it's likely that you and your parents began to grow apart from each other. Their jokes began to sound embarrassing, and the last thing you'd want to do is to walk in the park holding hands with them. This is just one of the natural parts of growing older.

Life has many difficult stages, but the teenage years are probably the ones that are filled with the most problems. As this is the time of life when we begin to turn into adults, lots of new issues arise.

Now, you can't just rely on your parents to do everything for you — you must take responsibility for yourself and your own actions. At the same time, as your body begins to develop, problems arise that you never knew existed. Things like being worried about how you look in front of others soon become daily concerns.

While all these are happening, you have to plan for your future. As you come to the end of your school years, you have to make some really big decisions.

So yes — being a teenager is really hard, and you probably have many questions that you need answers to. How do you decide whether you should follow the wishes of your parents, or your own? Which career is the most suited to you and your background?
