28、s mainly for fun.D. only adults are allowed to post their ideas on Antonios blogB.Eyesight problems are common among all ages and if they are left untreated, they can cause serious headaches or other problems. The good news is that most eyesight problems can easily be sorted out by wearing glasses.R
29、egular eye tests are important for everyone. Children and teenagers, under the age of 16 and up to the age of 19 for those full-time education, have the right to have eye tests for free in Britain. As the eye test is free, theres no excuse for not having a regular eye test. Doctors suggest that its
30、better to have an eye test about once a year. Wearing glasses isnt always regarded as all that cool and teens who suddenly need to wear glasses may find it difficult to accept. If theyve g rown up wearing glasses, then they may be more used to it. However, if your eyes are in poor health, not wearin
31、g glasses can put even more pressure on your eyes and could make them even worse.Thankfully, the days of little choice of glasses frames (框架) for teenagers are gone and theres now a wide selection of frames. If a teen does need to wear glasses, then its good to let him or her choose the type, as he
32、or she will be able to choose something he or she feels comfortable. Dont forget to be guided by the experts on glasses too.49.

35、love our parents and turn to them when were in need, but would you like them to hear the conversations you have with your friends on the school playground or lunch queue? Social networking sites have become extensions of the school hallways, so would you add your parents as “friends” and allow them
36、to view your online activities and conversations with friends? In the past the generation gap included a technology gap, where children were up to date with latest technology and parents were left behind, content to continue their day to day lives as they always had because they had no need to know
37、more about technology. However, more and more parents are beginning to realize just how important social networks are in their lives. This realization has given many parents the motivation to education themselves about social networking sites. These days many people are attracted to social networkin
38、g sites because they can choose who they have around them; theres also a certain amount of control over privacy that we dont get in real life. Sometimes we feel that privacy is violated when we must accept a “friend” request from a parent or family member. Its a difficult choice whether or not to al
39、low a parent to become a part of our online lives. On the one hand we dont want to “reject” their request because that might hurt their feelings or make them feel you have something to hide. On the other hand if you do accept, then you could have a sense of being watched and no longer feel free to c
40、omment or communicate the way you did before. A recent survey suggested that parents shouldnt take it personally if their child ignores their request, “When a teen ignores a parents friend request, it doesnt necessarily mean that they are hiding something, but it could mean that this is one part of
41、their life where they want to be independent.”Perhaps talking with parents and giving explanations would help soften the blow if you do choose not to add them to your friends list. 53.

He took a short business course, and went to work as a salesman in a large city.Woolworth realized he had a natural skill for
45、 showing goods to attract peoples interest, but he soon learned something more important. One day his boss told him to sell some odds and ends (小商品 ) for as much as he could get. Frank put all these things on one table with a sign which said five cents each. People fought and pushed to buy the thing
46、s and the table was soon c leared.Soon afterwards, Woolworth opened his own store., selling goods at five and ten cents. But he had another lesson to learn before he became successful. That is, if you want to make money by selling low-price goods, you have to buy them in large quantities directly form the factories. Once, for example, Woolworth went to Germany and placed an order for knives. The order was so large that the factory had to keep running 24 hours a day for a whole year. In this wa
