         A woman from Japan,who had visited major business and investment companies in New
    York City,was telling a friend about her trip to the US."I studied English before I left home.
    But I still was not sure that people were speaking English."
         Her problem is easy to understand.Americans in business are like people who are in
    business anywhere.They have a language of their own.Some of the words and expressions
    deal with the special areas of their work.Other expressions are borrowed from different
    kinds of work such as the theater and movie industry.
         One such saying is "get your act together".
         When things go wrong in a business,an employer may get angry.He may shout,"Stop
    making mistakes.Get your act together."
         Or,if the employer is calmer,he may say,"Let us get our act together."
         Either way,the meaning is the same.Getting your act together is getting organized.In
    business,it usually means to develop a calm and orderly plan of an action.
         It is difficult to tell exactly where the saying began.Perhaps one of the actors was
    nervous and made a lot of mistakes.The director may have said,"Calm down,now.Get
    your act together."
         Word expert James Rogers says the expression was common by the late 1970s.He
    saysThe Manchester Guardian used it in 1978.The newspaper said a reform policy
    required that the British government get its act together.
         Now,this expression is heard often when officials of a company meet.One company
    even calls its yearly report,"Getting Our Act Together".

         As parents,you will never stop feeling the need to protect your kids.One of the most difficult
    parts of being a parent is learning how to let go.
          Let your teens make mistakes.You show that you trust your teens enough to let them try
    something on their own,and you let your teens learn from experience.Since the saying is true
    that experience is the best teacher,letting your teens make mistakes can help them develop
    instinct and decisionmaking ability.
         When you let your teens make mistakes,it does not mean you are turning them loose
    without any guidance.It simply means that you are giving up some control over their life and
    allowing your teens to test the waters.It is the only way your teens will develop a sense of
    self and a level of independence to be successful adults.
         When you let your teens make mistakes,it also means that you allow your teens to be
    less than perfect.It means allowing your teens to be human,to be imperfect.Let your teens
    know that it is OK to make mistakes and OK to try new things,even if they are not successful.
         Since the other way that teens learn best is by example,be willing to allow yourself to
    make mistakes,too.If you let your teens make mistakes,it won't go over well if you are beating
    yourself up over making a mistake.Show your teens that you can forgive yourself,too,and your
    teens will be more likely to believe you when you forgive their mistakes as well.
         Twentyfirst century teens live in a different world from the world most of us grow up in.
    They have instant access to information and overexposure to the media.It's not as simple as
    it was,but that does not mean you cannot still raise thoughtful,conscientious,productive teens.
    You won't be able to protect them from everything,and it's OK to let your teens make
    mistakes,because what is really important is being there to help them learn from the mistakes
    they made and apply what they learned to becoming better people.

    1.When you let your teens make mistakes,you believe ________.
    A.they have already got enough experience
    B.they can do things independently
    C.they have the best teachers at school
    D.they can make their own decisions in life
    2.Why do parents let the teens make mistakes?
    A.To learn that life isn't easy.
    B.To become a perfect person.
    C.To draw lessons from experiences.
    D.To succeed early in life.
    3.How do parents help teens learn best?
    A.To let kids make as few mistakes as possible.
    B.To let teens themselves go to try new things.
    C.To protect teens from any danger of mistakes.
    D.To set a model by forgiving themselves for mistakes.
    4.Why is it difficult to educate modern teens?
    A.Because they can easily get information from the Internet.
    B.Because they take making mistakes for granted.
    C.Because they have a strong sense of independence.
    D.Because they know how to make use of their mistakes.
    5.What might be the most suitable title for the passage?
    A.Ask your teens to correct mistakes.
    B.Let your teens make mistakes.
    C.Warn your teens of making mistakes.
    D.Protect your teens from any mistakes.
