Most Americans live in such smaller cities and towns, but almost 8 million people live in New York City. Why did so many people come to live in one place? A look at the city shows us that New York City has a very good port (商埠). The Dutch (荷兰) settler (new comers) wanted to use it for business. In 1926, the Dutch paid the Indians twenty—four dollars for the island of Manhattan. Its Dutch name was New Amsterdam. Then the British took the land in 1664 and changed its name to New York. The United States became an independent (独立的)country in 1783, and New York was its capital for a short time . The city became so crowded that people moved out to develop (发展) other areas (places). But more people from everywhere went out coming into the city every day. 21. Which of them is the biggest city in the United States? A. New York B. Washington C. New Amsterdam D. Chicago. 22.

If so, you are the most important in your family. Parents are the closest people to you in the world. But a lot of middle school students have a problem. They feel they’re not as close to their parents as before. They even don’t think their parents are fair to them. Some students complain that their parents often say a lot to them, but never listen to them. Some say their parents don’t allow them to play computer games when other classmates are doing that. Others say when they’re making phone calls to friends, their parents like to ask if they’re speaking to a boy or a girl. These make them very unhappy. Some students even decide to leave home because they’re afraid to tell their parents when they have done something wrong, especially when they do badly in exams. Then they usually think running away is the only choice. But they don’t know running away may bring them some more problems. Problems are parts of life. Here are some suggestions for you to solve your problems. (1). Find a good chance to talk with your parents. Don’t be afraid to tell them your feelings. (2).
