It is Saturday afternoon.You and your friends are planning to go to the movies and then spend the night together. Just as you start to get ready, your dad reminds you it is your aunt's birthday and the whole family is going out to dinner to celebrate.How can this possibly end without a huge argument?

One of the greatest sources of tension(紧张情绪)between teenagers and their families is the struggle to balance personal desires with family expectations.As you are getting older，you are  becoming more independent and more interested in being with your friends.

However，at the same time，your family is trying to figure out how to deal with these changes. While you once spent most of your free time with your family，you are now often absent from home.Parents may get their feelings hurt.Or they might feel that they are losing control of their family during this period.You might feel angry that so many family demands are placed on you.

There are a few things you can try to make it a little easier to ease(缓解)the tension.

* When something with your friends interferes(干扰;冲突)with a family event，try to figure out if there is any way you can do both.

* Suggest something you would really like to do with your family.Sometimes parents feel better just knowing their teenager wants to spend time with them.

Some of the time you won’t be happy with the outcome(结果).You might either have to disappoint your parents or have to miss out being with your friends.However，if you show consideration(体谅)for the feelings of both your family and your friends，you can solve the problem in a tender way.

Plastics are considered one of the most serious pollutants causing environmental problems. The garbage containing plastics end up in the waterways that eventually flow into the oceans. Accumulation (聚集)of plastic in the ocean endangers marine life and pollutes the water.

Does a plastic continent exist? Yes, a plastic continent does exist and was discovered by Captain Charles Moore a decade ago. The plastic continent is twice the size of Britain and it is the region between the Hawaii Islands and California in the central Pacific Ocean.

One of the causes of the lack of marine life in this region is due to pollution and pollutants are none other than plastics. Captain Charles Moore believes plastic waste started accumulating in the 1950s.

The plastic continent is the man-made continent of floating plastic waste. The fisher men and the sailors have avoided this region for years. The reasons are:

1. There are no fish here because of the lack of nutrients.

2. The zone also lacks the wind that is essential for sailing.

To do research on the ocean pollution, Captain Moore founded Algalita Marine Research Foundation. Other organizations such as Greenpeace supported his cause. The reports of The United Nations Environment Program show that millions of seabirds and marine animals are dying due to the invasion(入侵)of plastics. The waste plastics can be recycled, but in fact they are being thrown into the oceans. The marine animals mistake these for food and eat them. This leads to their death that affects the marine food chain.

To save the oceans from the plastic continent you need to reduce the use of plastics, reuse plastic bags and recycle plastics.

72. What can we learn from the first paragraph?

A. A plastic continent does exist in the Pacific Ocean

B. Endangered marine life is well protected.

C. Plastics are one of the main causes of water pollution.

D. Plastics should be forbidden in people’s daily life.

73. What is the direct influence of the plastic continent?

A. Local fishermen have to fish in other areas.

B. The water becomes shallow and fish have to move away.

C. The wind is too strong there and it makes sailing more difficult.

D. It makes people realize the importance of protecting the environment.

74. It is implied that the work of plastic recycling proves to be ______.

A. effective     B. expensive      C. a difficult task     D. not good enough

75. What can we learn from the passage?

A. Many marine animals are dying due to the broken marine food chain.

B. Captain Moore founded Greenpeace to do research on the ocean pollution.

C. The marine animals have no choice but to eat plastics for lack of food.

D. There are three ways to prevent the oceans from becoming a plastic continent.
