     Fifteen is such an awful (糟糕的) age, I should know. I really wish I were eighteen. If you are an
adult, you can be your own boss. People like my parents and my teachers are always telling me what
to do. You know what I mean. "It's time for bed, Sandy." Or "Sandy, you've watched too much TV
for one night." "Sandy, stand up straight." "Sandy, you must improve your handwriting." Sandy this,
Sandy that. No one tells adults when they go to bed or not to watch TV. Besides, adults get to wear
what they like... Now it's going to be great to be an adult. Don't you agree?

     I'm Sandy's mother. Having a fifteen-year-old daughter isn't always easy. Right now, we've got a
problem. Our neighbor, Mrs. White, wants Sandy to look after her pet dog for one week. Sandy really
wants to do it, but I'm worried. She's too young and inexperienced. Well, I will never be able to relax
knowing she is all alone with a dog. I've tried to explain my feelings to her, but she won't listen. She
keeps telling me that the Whites live very near, so she can ask for help. She insists that Mrs. White
won't ask her to look after her pet dog if she doesn't think Sandy is old enough. She says I'm
"babying" her and I hate to see her mad at me. What should I do?
Finish the tasks according to the passage.

　　The Wilsons decided to go overseas for vacation. They had a family meeting(會議) to plan the vacation. “First,” Mr Wilson said, “we should decide where we are going.”

　　“I don’t agree,” Mrs Wilson said, “I think we should decide when we are going first. We don’t want to go to places when they are cold.” Mr Wilson agreed, so the family’s first decision was when to go on vacation. They decided to go in July.

　　“Now we can decide where to go,” said Mr Wilson.

　　“But, Dad,” Ben said, “don’t you think that where we go depends on how we go? If we plan to fly, we can go a long way. If we plan to drive, we can’t go far.”

　　Again, Mr Wilson agreed, and they discussed this. At last they agreed to travel by plane.

And so the planning meeting went on. The next day, one of Mr Wilson’s friends at work asked, “Where are you going for vacation?”

　　“Well,” Mr Wilson told him, “we are going in summer by plane, but I don’t know where we are going!”

　　Why is more and more land becoming deserts?
　　Scientists are trying to make the deserts into good land again. They want to
bring water to the deserts, so people can live and grow food there. They are
learning a lot about the deserts. But more and more of the earth are becoming
deserts all the time. Scientists may not be able to change the deserts in time.
　　Scientists think that people make deserts. People are doing bad things to the
earth. (1)Some places on the earth do not get very much rain. But they still do
not become deserts. This is because some green plants are growing there. Small
green plants and grass are very important to dry places. Plants do not let the hot
sun make the earth even drier. Plants do not let the wind blow the soil away.
(2)When a little bit of rain falls, the plants hold the water. Without plants, the
land can become a desert much more easily.
