35.The teen years are an exciting time for girls,but these years they can also be filled with worries and struggles.Parents really care for them,even if they don't always act like it.They need your love,guidance,and support each day to help them become healthy and happy. With the busy lives we lead today,how can you do this? *Spend time with your daughter.Set a good example to your daughter.Eat right,exercise,deal with stress in healthy ways,and don't use drugs(毒品),alcohol(酒) or cigarettes. *Try to find a good balance(平衡)between work and fun in your own life.This will show your daughter that she can have balance in her life. *Teach her good values and a sense of responsibility( 責(zé)任).Then trust her to make good choices. *Set rules with them.Setting fair rules can help girls keep away from social problems which they can't solve. It's normal for a girl to want to try new things.When your daughter is angry with you,she may make poor choices.Turn her mistakes into lessons,show her you still love her,and point out the good thing she does.Teach her not to be ashamed(感到羞愧) of having a problem with stress,grades,weight,drugs or alcohol.Even though you might feel upset and tired at times,everything you do will make a difference in your daughter's life and she will thank you!

36.Have you ever heard that "Success is a journey,not a destination (終點(diǎn))"?As a man aged 30,I believe it's true.In fact it's my law (法則) of life.In my eyes,what matters is not necessarily where you are trying along the way.It means that no matter what,as long as (只要) you try,you can never fail.It means you can learn from your mistakes,and continue on the next journey a little wiser. I think St Louis Rams,a professional American football team in Missouri,as a whole shared my law of life.They played every game with their full potential (潛能) instead of letting a few winning games go to their heads.They had the goal of playing in every Super Bowl,a football game played in the US each year on the first Sunday in February.Even though they lost some games,they didn't give up. It doesn't matter if you don't have the ability to be on top in the end or to win the game,what matters is that you work hard the whole time.You should understand that success is a non-ending journey.Everyone should realize that someone will win and someone will lose,but what's important is that both sides need to try their best.After all,it's not who wins or loses,but how well you play the game and you should remember this in your own life.

38.Traveling to another country is exciting and fun.But if you don't learn about local customs,your trip could become a nightmare with misunderstandings and even trouble.Here are some cultural taboos(禁忌)in certain countries to help prevent things like that.Let's take a look and fit in with local culture. US One of the traditional customs for Americans is to tip jye.ai.People from non-tipping countries may forget to tip.And they may find themselves in an embarrassing situation.Also,pay attention when you have a conversation with Americans.As a tourist in the US,it is not polite to ask people questions like "How old are you?" and "How much do you make?" Mexico In Mexico,bringing an expensive gift to someone's home is a no-no.It could be seen as a bribe(賄賂).Something simple like flowers or a dessert are good gifts.But you should avoid taking along marigolds (金盞花) or red flowers,because in Mexican culture,they symbolize death and can be connected with witchcraft(巫術(shù)).To local people,white flowers are a good gift. Britain Be careful about hand gestures when you visit Britain.If you make the V sign with your palm(手掌)facing you,the locals may get angry.That's because this gesture means the same as the middle finger.It's an insult(侮辱).It is safe to hold off on hand gestures to prevent any misunderstandings. Also,Britons are known for queuing.From the supermarket to the subway,queues are very common in Britain.Usually a British person spends six months of their life in queues.If you jump the queue in Britain,you may upset them.
