Each student chos ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e something specific about Costa Rica to study involving the plants, animals, food, and culture. During the last few days the group had time to do fun activities. They went whitewater rafting and horseback riding, and visited Costa Rica’s active volcano.

话题：父母与子女 词数：261 参考用时：6分钟
Jia Meng used to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )keep a diary (日记) 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 (隐私) became safe and my English improves a lot.”
Jia’s mother ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) is not the only mom who reads her child’s diary. Recently, Renmin University of China had a national survey among over 2, 3000 parents. 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(保护) their privacy.
Wu Lei, 15, of Shan ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )xi, 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 Gu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )angdong, 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 kn ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ow 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.”
根据短文内容，判断下列句子正误。正确的用“T”表示，不正确的用“F”表示。
（）1. Jia Meng w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rites her diary in English in order to improve her English.
（）2. Recently, Renmin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )University of China had a national survey, and the results show that 40% of parents read their children’s secrets.
（）3. Keeping ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a diary online is the best way to protect the privacy according to the article.
（）4. Lu Huan ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )asked her parents to buy her a mobile phone in order to protect her privacy.
（）5. Shao Xiazhen ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )thinks parents will let children keep their secrets if they talk to parents and parents know they are safe.
