27、ol and coffee. “I have no explanation for it,” admitted Dr Claudia Kawas, “but I do firmly believe that moderate (适度的) drinking improves longevity.” So should we all be drinking more coffee and wine?

Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between

35、what I control and what you do?Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict.
