N mre wet twels n the bathrm flr, and n mre empty juice plastic bxes. N mre drs clsing at 3 a.m., and n mre cming hme t a nisy crwd f strangers arund the kitchen table. There's nthing s quiet, says a friend whse yungest has just mved ut.
But if adjusting t an empty nest can be tugh, it seems there is ne thing tugher: a frmerly empty nest that suddenly fills back up again. Accrding t a research frm the Lndn Schl f Ecnmics (LSE), parents whse grwn up children dn't actually manage t leave- wh mve ut, nly t bunce right back again- are actually less happy than thse whse fledglings(幼鸟) heartlessly fly ff withut a backward glance. The quality f life fr parents f bmerang kids fell n average by abut 0.8 pints n the LSE researchers’ scale.
A quarter f yung British adults nw live with their parents, mre than at any time since recrds began in1966. But mre shckingly, this is n lnger just abut the yung. Arund a quarter f a millin peple aged between 35 and 44 still live at hme with their parents and the idea that that can all be blamed n helicpter parents making it t easy fr their little darlings nt t grw up isn't lgical. Midlife divrce, insecure gig ecnmy wrk and straightfrward pverty all play their part in driving what were nce perfectly functining grwn-ups back t their teenage bedrms.
These kids are admittedly luckier than thse fr whm ging back hme is sadly nt an ptin. But when chsing t live with yur mum is the nly way f cping with an insecure jb, r with the csts f renting in the city, then that's nt much f a chice. Hme is still the place where, when yu have t g there, they have t take yu in. But a healthy and successful sciety shuldn't be sending quite many vergrwn children hurrying back fr shelter, and nr shuld it leave quite many parents feeling bad abut it.

A. Mre yungsters are leaving their parents. B. The quality f life fr thse parents is declining.
C. Parents expect their children t live tgether. D. Adults dislike returning t their riginal hme.
13. Why d these bmerang kids circle back hme?
A. T avid their life pressure. B. T accmpany elderly parents.
C. T recall their childhd memry. D. T help parents adapt t the empty nest.
14. What is the authr's attitude t this trend?

With gas prices rising and airprt security lines snaking lnger than ever, why nt bk yur next dmestic vacatin n a train? Cmpared t ther alternatives, it's cmfrtable and relaxing. Here is sme advice n hw t make a trip by rail as pleasant as pssible.
Plan ahead. Mst lng-distance trains, especially the sleeping car accmmdatins, sell ut very quickly. 16 But n matter when yu travel, it's a gd idea t make yur reservatins at least 90 days in advance.
Use a travel agent. Cnsider turning yur travel plan ver t a travel agent and letting him duble-check all the details, make suggestins, and then handle the actual reservatins. A gd ne can smetimes find yu discunted tickets. 17 Then yu wn't have t walk thrugh several cars n a mving train three times a day fr yur meals.
Bring a blanket. When yu're riding n trains, yu wn't be prvided with a blanket fr free, even if yur trip is an vernight ne. 18 In the summer in particular, the air cnditining can make them quite cld.
Arrive early. Mst trains perate just nce a day and sme run nly three times a week, s missing yurs can be a disaster. 19 Nte: The times listed n the schedules are departure times, nt arrival times.
Have fun. 20 Read a bk, knit, d a crsswrd puzzle, r simply watch the wrld unfld utside the windw. T calculate yur speed as yu d, divide 3,600 (the number f secnds in an hur) by the number f secnds it takes yu t travel ne mile (the distance between tw milepsts). If it takes the train 53 secnds t travel ne mile, yu're ging 67.92 mph.
Train trips aren't fr impatient types.
Yu'll have views frm bth sides f the train.
The temperature n rail cars is ften hard t cntrl.
That's particularly true during busy summer mnths.
Yu might have t wait lnger than 24 hurs t catch the next ne.
Chances are the cst will be a lt less than the cst f ne bedrm.
He may als bk yu in a sleeping car that's right next t the diner.

One pssible versin:
There I was surprised t see Brigitte, wh was terrified f water, dive int the pl. Then t my hrrr, I caught sight f Frrest’s yellw sleeper. Brigitte was bravely ding her best t keep him aflat by hlding n t his sleeper with her muth. At the same time, she was desperately trying t swim t the shallw end. Only then did I realize that Frrest had smehw pened the dr, wandered ut and fallen int the pl. In a split secnd, I dve in, lifted my precius baby ut and carried him inside. Hands shaking, I called 911 and we were rushed t the hspital immediately, where the dctr kept him fr bservatin fr ne night.
Finally, the dctr said Frrest was all right and culd be released frm hspital. Back hme, nce Brigitte saw him, she barked with apparent jy and wuldn’t let Frrest ut f her sight. In time she settled dwn, but remained dedicated t Frrest and fllwed him everywhere, cncerned abut his safety. Even when Frrest was asleep, Brigitte crammed herself under the crib, keeping a vigil (值夜). Our dg was indeed an angel, erasing any despair I might have had abut lsing ur hme. A huse culd always be replaced, but knwing we had each ther arund was the greatest blessing f all. I was grateful she was part f ur lives, wh I wuld never give up.
