There are many problems among young people. They always say they are growing up. They can do the things they like. They drive cars quickly. They wear strange clothes. They like loud music. Many people think they are not good. But some of their parents don’t think so. Their parents say, “Our children are very good. They like popular music, and they play it in their own rooms. They help in the house. You know they feel bored sometimes because there’s nothing interesting in the neighbourhood, no clubs and no sports. They don’t have anything to do. ”

A teacher says that he thinks most young people are very kind. He thinks that it’s not bad for young people to like loud music because it can give them lots of energy and make them feel excited. Also, a lot of young people work very hard at school, and they can get good jobs later.

Lewis, a fourteen-year-old boy said, “I have much homework to do. I feel tired all day. But loud music can make me happy. It helps me do well in all my lessons.”

The word moon comes from the Old English wordmona. It shares a root(词根) with the word month — because the moon revolves(旋转) around the earth once a month. While the sun stays the same day after day, the moon changes every night, allowing ancient people to know the days, months and seasons.

Many of the names for moons have something to do with traditions of ways of life. You might have heard some of them.

1. Blue moon

The blue moon is the second full moon in a month.It’s unusual for a blue moon to come around — it only appears once every 2.7 years. So the expressiononce in a blue moonmeans “very rarely(罕见) or almost never”. If something happensonce in the blue moon, it happens not very often. However, a blue moon isn’t really blue.

2. Harvest(收获) moon

The wordharvestcomes from the Old English word which referred to the autumn season. In the mid 1200s,harvestbecame much closer to the meaning of today — the gathering of crops(庄稼). The expressionharvestmoon was accepted by 1704. Many cultures have harvest moons. In China, the Mid-Autumn Festival is celebrated during the harvest moon.

3. Cold moon

In most parts of the United States, January is cold. So it makes sense to connect January with a cold moon. While the expressioncold moonappears in many literary texts(文学作品) in English, it wasn’t found until the early 1800s that English-language texts showed the Native American expressioncold moonin relation to the January full moon.
