8．Jia Meng used to keep a diary （日記） in Chinese．But one year ago，the 14-year-old girl from Hei Longjiang began to write her diary in English，because Jia found her mother was reading her diary secretly．She changed the language because her mother can't read English．"It's like killing two birds with one stone．"said Jia，"My privacy （隱私） became safe and my English improves a lot．"
Jia's mother is not the only mom who reads her child's diary．Recently，Renmin University of China had a national survey among over 2，3000parents．The results show that  40% of parents read their children's secrets．That's why，like Jia，many teenagers try to find ways to protect（保護(hù)） their privacy．
Wu Lei，15，of Shanxi，keeps a diary，too．But he doesn't write in on paper．He writes online which he thinks is perfectly safe because his parents"know nothing about the Internet．"
Lu Huan，13，of Guangdong，said her parents always secretly listened to the talk between her friends and her on the telephone in their room．To solve this problem，Lu asked her parents to buy her a mobile phone．
"Parents want to know what is going on in their children's lives，"said Shao Xiazhen，a teenage expert in Beijing．"But sometimes they go about it the wrong way．"Shao suggested to teenagers that instead of hiding their secrets，talking to parents is a better solution．"If your parents know that you are safe，they'll let you keep your secrets．"

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，判斷下列句子正誤．正確的用"A"表示，不正確的用"B"表示．

4．Conor Grennan was unwilling to be a volunteer（志愿者）．The 29-year-old American was not sure if he had the skills or a strong feeling for it．
However，he went to work at an orphanage（孤兒院） in Nepal．His first thought was to make people impressed．
"I thought that if I volunteered just once．I could retell the story over and over，"Grennan said in a Huffington Post article．

When he arrived in the village，he knew nothing about the children or the local culture．When he opened the gate of the Little Princes Children's Home，he was faced by the excited children．
The young American ended up caring for 18children．He later discovered that they were trafficked（被拐賣的）children．So he walked through the mountains with great difficulty to find the kids'families，"I started walking with photos of the kids．"he told the Reuters reporter．"I would show up in villages and show photographs around．I went with 24photos，and I found 24families．"
At the same time，he put his heart into Nepalese culture．
Grennan said，"Volunteering is the single best way to see how the rest of the world lives．"
He also encouraged others to do what he had done．He believes that volunteering needs only making decisions to show up．

1．A great way for teens to cool off during the summer is at water parks．If you live near a water park，you might think about getting a season pass．This way you can go as often as you like．
Check to see if there are any water parks around you．Many are indoor facilities．So even if it isn't warm enough where you live to swim outdoors，you can enjoy swimming in a temperature controlled area．
The prices are usually good．For example，one ticket to Water World，a water park，is only 5．
Some teens like to get a part time job over the summer to make some pocket money．Older teens shouldn't have much trouble finding jobs．
An idea is to get some teens together to form your own summer job business．You can walk dogs，bring in the newspapers，feed the cats，collect rubbish，waterflowers，etc．Being that it's summer，many people go on vacation and could use someone to look after their houses while they're away．You can also think about other jobs you can do for them．
Teens love freedom．Sure you would like to get to such places as the mall，movie theaters，the zoo，the beach，picnic，bowling and local amusement park instead of staying home all summer．Then a summer bus pass will be helpful．Check to see if your area has one for you teens．
Such a pass costs only $10 for the whole summer．The price is reasonable（合乎情理的） and also your parents don't have to always drive．
56．Who is the text written for？C
A．Teachers     B．Parents      C．Teens    D．Travelers
