Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers. But last summer, Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son: suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents. “The door to his room is always shut,” Joanns noted.

Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter. “She used to cuddle up (蜷伏)with me on the sofa and talk,” said Mark. “Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something. Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady. The problem is figuring out which time is which. ”

Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what’s on their minds. “In fact, parents are first on the list.” said Michael Riera, author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers. “This completely changes during the teen years.” Riera explained. “They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last.”

Parents who know what’s going on in their teenagers’ lives are in the best position to help them. To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them. And they must give their children a mental break, for children also need freedom, though young. Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager, with their children is a better way to know them.

1.“The door to his room is always shut” suggests that the son _______.

A. keeps himself away from his parents

B. doesn’t want to be disturbed

C. is always busy with his studies

D. begins to dislike his parents

2.What troubles Tina and Mark most is that ________.

A. their daughter isn’t as lovely as before

B. they don’t know what to say to their daughter

C. they can’t read their daughter’s mind exactly

D. their daughter talks with them only when she needs help

3.Which of the following best explains “the wall of silence” in the last paragraph?

A. Teenagers talk a lot with their friends.

B. Teenagers do not want to understand their parents.

C. Teenagers talk little about their own lives.

D. Teenagers do not talk much with their parents.

4.What can be learned from the passage?

A. Parents are unhappy with their growing children.

B. Parents should try to understand their teenagers.

C. Parents should be patient with their silent teenagers.

D. Parents have suitable ways to talk with their teenagers.

Everyone has worries, but what do you do with your worries? Whether your worries are

big or small, you can take three steps to deal with them.

Try to find out the causes.

1. Sometimes you know it, but sometimes you might not. If you can’t make sure what your worries are, you will have more and more new problems in your life. So remember that you must try to find out the causes before you start to deal with them even though it might not be so easy.

2.

There is always something you can do to help you feel less worried. Sitting there worrying is no fun and it won’t solve your problem. 3.. If you’re worried about grades, ask yourself these questions:

·How do I get ready for class? Do I review my notes even when there isn’t a test?

·Do I have a good place to do my homework?

·4.

If your worry is about a fight you had with a friend, you might write down all the things you could do—write a note to him or her, invite him or her to a basketball game, say sorry to him or her etc. . Once you have a list of things you could do, you can choose the one that gets your friend back.

Ask for help.

When you are worried, you need to find someone to communicate with.

5.They will help you analyze(分析)your problems carefully and solve them easily.

A. Have I tried different ways of studying?

C. Think of the ways to improve grades.

D. You can ask your parents, friends, or teachers for help.
