D

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

Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14yearold 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.

Answer 1

【答案】【1】C

【2】B

【3】C

【4】D

【解析】【1】這是一道推斷猜義題，第一段中首句“Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers.”告訴我們，文章談到的是孩子與家長(父母)的關(guān)系，所以答案為C。再者，B項(xiàng)說孩子們不愿被打擾，不符合文章提到的內(nèi)容，他只是不愿與父母更多地交流。

【2】這是一道細(xì)節(jié)題，找到第二段“Tina and Mark...”，然后再看最后一句話“The problem is figuring out which time is which.”可知，他們弄不懂孩子的心思，因?yàn)樯衔恼f了“Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady.”。

【3】根據(jù)第一段可知，作者的主要意圖是說“relationship between parents and their teenager”，隨著我們年齡的增長，令父母最為擔(dān)憂的是他們弄不懂孩子的心思，因此彼此的交流就少了。正如“They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last.”所以它指的是孩子們不愿同父母交流這件事。

【4】最后一段話是文章的關(guān)鍵，作者提到，解決問題有三大途徑：“create chances to...”“And they must give...”“Another...is a better way to know them.”因此，努力去理解孩子才是解決的辦法。
