1、阅读下面短文，将短文中画线部分的句子译成中文。

Maybe it’s really hard to tell someone that you are feeling sad or worried. If you are too shy and want to be a little braver than before, please listen to my advice.

Talk with your parents. But sometimes communication (交流) between parents and children is a problem. So if you don’t want to talk with your parents, what should you do? 1. It’s a good idea to find someone you trust to talk to, like a teacher. He or she can help you solve your problems. After finding someone you can talk to, you need to decide how to talk about your problems. If you believe it’s difficult for you to say what you think, write it down on a piece of paper. It might help. Problems are normal in life, 2. But unless you talk about them with others, you could make yourself ill. So please deal with(处理) your feelings in a right way before it’s too late.

21、 Teahouses(茶馆) in Chengdu

There is a saying， “China has the best teahouses in the world and Chengdu has the best teahouses in China.” Chengdu has not only many teahouses but also the special ways of serving and drinking tea.

As soon as the visitors come into the teahouses， the waiters or waitresses will greet them with teapots and cups in their hands. The cups often have special covers and saucers(茶碟). The covers can keep the water warm.

People who go to the teahouses are not all thirsty. Retired(退休)people pay a little money to the teahouses and then sit there all day long to chat with others. Sometimes， people have parties in the teahouses. They eat fruit and sunflower seeds(瓜子)while they chat and return home when they are tired.

Teahouses are also good places for people to talk about businesses. People can tell the stories and enjoy Sichuan Opera. Sometimes when people have a quarrel(争吵)， a mediator(调解员)will bring them to the teahouse. After their problem is worked out， the person who is wrong will pay for the tea. It is interesting that as soon as the quarrelers come into the teahouse and sit down to drink tea， they have almost calmed down. With the help of the mediator， their problems can be easily worked out then. Maybe we can say the teahouses have some special social functions(功能).

23、 A famous teacher was speaking to the students at our school. He began his lesson by holding up a ¥100 bill. Then he said to the three hundred students, “ Who would like this ¥100 bill?” The students began to put up their hands at once.
