Sally was fourteen. She studied in a middle school. She liked dancing and singing,and spent a lot of time on them. But she hated maths and even decided to give it up. Her father was anxious (焦慮的)about it.

It was Sunday. Sally's father gave a call to his sister who taught maths in another school. He hoped she would come and tell his daughter how to learn maths. The woman came and said, "You are a clever girl,Sally. Fm sure you will soon learn maths well if you do your best."

  "I'm afraid I can't,Aunt," said Sally. "Girls can't be good at maths.”

  "I don't think so," said the woman. "I was good at it when I was a girl. You must do more exercises and try different ways to solve maths problems until you work them out or at least understand them better. Here is a maths problem. Please think it over and see if you can work it out."

  "OK，" said the girl. "Let me try."

  About an hour later Sally took the exercise book to her aunt and said, "I've tried several times and worked out the problem at last ！”

  "Well done！" her aunt looked at her answer and said happily. "Now you see,maths is not as difficult as you thought."

 Who Influences Teenagers?

  "Teenager" means people from 13 to 19 years old. Although they're young,they have to make many important choices by themselves. They need to think about questions like these ： Should I go to college? What kind of jobs do I want? However,other people also influence their choices. Who influences teenagers? Teenagers were asked this question and here's what they said.

  It depends on the kind of choices. When teenagers buy things,friends are the most important influence. This is especially true for clothes and music. TV shows,advertisements and parents also influence teenagers. In more serious things,parents are probably the most important influence. Some teenagers say it's best to regard both parents and friends as influences. James,a seventeen-year-old boy says he's just "a crazy man". He also says, "Parents are really important because they can tell you what's right and wrong.”

  But teenagers also feel they need to make choices by themselves―to make their own mistakes. As one teenage girl said, "If our parents don't let us make our own choices,maybe in the future we won't know how to do it. " And they feel friends can also be a big help,and sometimes friends know more about their situation(處境)than their parents do.

  Do you depend on parents or others when you decide what to do and how to do it? Whoever you depend on,the correct choice is the most important. Your future is in your hand. 

(   ) 1. People from 13 to 19 can be called teenagers.

(   ) 2. When teenagers buy clothes and music,friends are the most important influence.

(   ) 3. TV shows and advertisements can't influence teenagers.

(   ) 4. In more serious things,friends are probably the most important influence.

(   ) 5. Sometimes friends know more about teenagers' situation than their parents.
