Teenagers today are not as healthy as they were twenty years ago. Why?
First of all,teenagers love junk food so much,as their best friends are hamburgers,pizza or spaghetti. Teenagers don't eat what it is best for their physical development and don't want to pay attention to all it's said about food and a healthy way of eating. On the contrary,it's also the case of the girls who keep strict diets so as to lose weight. They just want to be skinny (瘦的) as the models they read about in magazines or newspapers.
Secondly,young persons nowadays do not spend much time in the middle of nature,walking in the park or going camping. In fact,TV, computer games,DVD players or music are much more interesting. Just imagine a mother calling her son to lunch and him shouting: “No,no ,I'm watching TV I'll eat later. ” He really doesn’t care that later he’ll eat alone,that he won’t have anyone to talk to. In this way communication between the members of the family becomes less important and finally it will disappear completely.
Thirdly,parents are always worried when their children go to a disco or to a party,as they know how easily teenagers are tempted to try something new,just for fun. Trusting them and making them feel responsible for their actions is the solution to prevent future problems from appearing.

Last night I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg,distance of about eighty miles. It was late. Several times I had to stop to wait a while behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road,and I became impatient.
At one point along an open road,I came to a crossing with a traffic light. I was alone on the road by now,but as I drove near the light,it turned red and I made a stop. I looked left,right and behind me. Nothing. Not a car,no suggestion of car lamps,but there I sat,waiting for the light to change,the only human being for at least a mile in any direction.
I started wondering why I refused to run the light.I was not afraid of being caught,because there was clearly no policeman around,and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it.
Much later that night,the question of why I'd stopped for that light came back to me. I think I stopped because it's part of a contract we all have with each other. It's not only the law,but it is an agreement we have,and we trust each other to follow it: we don't go through red lights.
The whole construction of our society depends on mutual (相互的) trust. We do what we say we’ll do; we show up when we say we’ll show up; and we pay when we say we’ll pay. We trust each other in these matters.
I was so proud of myself for stopping for the red light that night. And as no one would ever have known what a good person I was on the road from Harrisburg to Lewisburg.

2. What did the author do when the traffic light turned red?
A. Stopping still.
B. Driving through it.
