Is it, as some people would suggest, a mysterious force? Or can it be explained and possibly even created? Well, even in this scientific and reason-driven age, love seems still to defy total understanding、We can, however, know something about love and make stronger connections between individuals、One thing that seems to affect love is distance、The common idea is that the love between people grows as they are separated、Sometimes it is true that longing for someone who has gone overseas becomes more intense、Something that nourishes love is danger、Send both lovers to dangerous places and they will end up loving each other more、This could be caused by the worry itdevelops、It could also be that feelings of uncertainty or need transform into love with time、Love gives us warmth, courage, and a feeling of being safe, but it also demands selfless devotion and sacrifice、If you are truly committed to finding true love, you should make yourself more interesting、Do things that you enjoy and try to meet people who share identical interests、unit5My son has started to hang out with the wrong type of boys、He is fifteen years old and until recently I had always been grateful for how easy he has been to raise、Lately, though, he has ceased to listen to what I say、He used to be such a sweet boy, but being in high school seems to have hardened him against authority figures、The change in his attitude has been very noticeable even to his teachers、The other day I asked him to come straight home after school, but instead he rebelled and stayed out until ten o'clock、Later I found out that he had skipped school completely that day、I found out that he was with a(n) bunch of boys who often cause trouble、I decided to forbid him to do anything with those boys, but he didn't listen to me、In spite of my objections to him being with those boys, he was with them the very next day、A friend of mine has a son who is having identical problems、She decided to give him a change of environment and sent him to a private school、I'm not sure this is the best solution, though、You can't just change a boy's behavior by changing his school every time he does something wrong、It is better to help a kid establish a good set of core values、unit6My name, Bobby, is used both for boys and girls、Girls spell it "Bobbie"、It is characteristic for little boys to be given a name with a "y" sound at the end、For example, I often had a Jimmy, Johnny or Billy in my classes、In my second grade, I also had a Bobbie、In order not to confuse us when she called our names, our teacher assigned us the names "Bobbie girl" and "Bobby Boy"、This caused me a lot of trouble on the playground、There, my friends labeled me "Bobbie girl"、For my friends, the apparent contrast between my name and my sex was the source of much laughter、The fact that they labeled me as a girl was very embarrassing、I had a tendency to compensate for my name by acting more like a boy than I might have otherwise、I threw more rocks and yelled louder than the sum of all of the other boys added together、The real "Bobbie girl", conversely, acted more like a girl、When my teacher realized she had made a mistake, she stopped calling us "Bobbie girl" and "Bobby Boy"、Unfortunately, my friends never forgot or ceased calling me "Bobbie girl"、Third grade was an improvement; the original "Bobbie girl" was in a different class、Also, I requested the teacher just call me "Bob"、三、翻译（30%）unit11、她连水都不愿喝一口，更别提留下来吃饭了。
