Your interests are increasing.41 Sometimes conflicts can't be avoided. But by paying attention to the building blocks of successful relationships, you can work towards making home a happy and healthy place for you and your parents.For instance, try to find a time to talk when your parents are not angry, tired, distracted or hungry. A good time to talk is when you're all relaxed. Timing is everything. If the conversation begins to turn into an argument, you'd better calmly and coolly ask to stop the conversation for sow.42Listen to what your parents are saying, and repeat itback to them. This shows them that you're listening.43 Respect is the building block of good communication. People who respect each other and care about each other's feelings can disagree without getting things ugly.44How do you build trust? Trustcomes by actually doing what you say you're going to do.

Remember you can only change your own behavior. Your parents are the only ones who can change theirs.A. It also gives them a chance to clear things up if you're not on the same page.B. You can pick it up again when everyone's more relaxed.C. And then you'll be able to accept what your parents say.D. Faced with the challenge, children don't know what to do.E. You are more likely to get along with your parents and have more independence if your parents believe in you.F. And your desire to take control of your own life is growing.G. You may consider seeking outside help.第四局部语言知识运用(共两节,总分值45分)第一节(共20小题;每题1.5分,总分值30分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入 空白处的最正确选项。Another person's enthusiasm was what set me moving toward the success I have achieved.
