24、How often do you hear people saying that the relationship between their parents and them is not as good as it used to be? Now let’s see what you can do to get along well with your parents.

As a teenager, you should respect your parents and what they did for you. If your parents don’t allow you to do something, do not go out of the way to do it. There must be a good reason why they feel you should not do that thing. Do not be angry about it or fight with them. Talk to them and explain to them your opinion. As you enter your mid-teens, you will realize you want to be independent. This change is going to bring conflicts (矛盾) between you and your parents. You will feel your parents control you too much. To avoid further conflict, talk to them, and follow them.

When you grow older and become an adult, you will be independent. That can put a distance (距离) between you and your parents. In this situation, listening to each other and understanding each other are necessary to build a healthy relationship between you and your parents. Since you are an adult, the parent child relationship develops into a relationship between adults. However, some things never change. You will always be their kid, no matter how old you are. So look on your parents as friends, rather than as your mom and dad.

【1】What should you do as a teenager?

A. Do whatever you want to do.

B. Respect your parents and their opinions.

C. Be angry with your parents sometimes.

D. Find a good reason to make your parents follow you.

【2】What makes a distance between you and your parents?

A. The personal independence. B. Your conflicts.

C. Your personal point of view. D. Their own advice.

【3】How should you get on with your parents as an adult?

A. By looking on them as your teachers. B. By looking on them as your parents.

C. By looking on them as old people. D. By looking on them as friends.

【4】What is the purpose (目的) of the passage?

A. To tell us how to become an adult.

B. To tell us how to be good children.

C. To tell us how to get on with our parents.

D. To tell us some problems between parents and children.

【5】In which column (专栏) of a newspaper may you find the passage?

A. Education. B. Science. C. Family. D. Sports.

25、根据首字母提示补全短文。

There is nothing more i【1】 to life than the Sun. W【2】 the Sun, all living things on the Earth would die. The Sun is a star. In the sky there are t【3】 of stars like the Sun.
