You can make your child feel angry, hurt, or misunderstood by what you say without realizing it yourself. It is important to give your child the space he needs to grow while gently letting him know that youll still be there for him when he needs you. Expect a lot from your child, just not everything. Except for health and safety problems, such as drug use or careless driving, consider everything else open to discussion. If - 3 - / 13your child is unwilling to discuss something, dont insist he tell you whats on his mind. The more you insist, the more likely that hell clam up. Instead, let him attempt to solve (解决) things by himself. At the same time, remind him that youre always there for his should he seek advice or help. Show respect for your teenagers privacy (隐私). Never read his mail or listen in on personal conversations. Teach your teenager that the family phone is for the whole family. If your child talks on the familys telephone for too long, tell him he can talk for 15 minutes, but then he must stay off the phone for at least an equal period of time. This not only frees up the line so that other family members can make and receive calls, but teaches your teenager moderation (节制). Or if you are open to the idea, allow your teenager his own phone that he pays for with his own pocket money or a part-time job. 4. The main purpose of the text is to tell parents _.

He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.My earliest memories of my father are a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and his family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight As and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my fathers friends for lunch at an outdoor café. We talked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my sons funny facial expressions. Gone was my fathers critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?The next day dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, Im at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, Im delighted with my new friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was. 8. Why did the author feel bitter about her father as a young adult? A.

A. the authors son B. the authors father C. the friend of the authors father D. the café owner D D Our “Mommy and Me” time began two years ago. My next- door neighbor and fellow mother, Christie, and I were out in our front yards, watching seven children of age 6 and under ride their bikes up and down. “I wish I could take one of my children out alone,” said Christie. Then we worked out a plan: When Christie takes one of her children out, Ill watch her other three. And when she watches two of mine, Ill take someone out. The children were extremely quick to accept the idea of “Mommy and Me” time. Christies daughter, McKenzie, went first. When she returned, the other children showered her with tons of questions. McKenzie was smiling broadly. Christie looked refreshed and happy. “Shes like a different child when theres no one else around,” Christie shared with me quickly. With her mother all to herself, McKenzie didnt have to make an effort to gain attention. Just as Christie had noticed changes in McKenzie, I also discovered something different in each of my children during our alone times. For example, I am always surprised when my daughter, who is seldom close to me, holds my hand frequently. My stuttering(口吃的)son, Tom, doesnt - 6 - / 13stutter once during our activities since he doesnt have to struggle for a chance to speak. And the other son, Sam, whos always a follower when around other children shines as a leader during our times together. The “Mommy and Me” time allows us to be simply alone and away with each child -talking, sharing, and laughing, which has been the biggest gain. Every child deserves(应得 到)to be an only child at least once in a while. 12. What is the text mainly about?A. The experience of the only child being with mother.B. The advantage of spending time with one child at a time. C. The happy life of two families.D. The basic needs of children. 13.

I developed the ability to look customers directly in the eye. Even though I was just a kid, women would ask me such things as “ What color do you think I should wear?” I took a real interest in their questions and was able to translate what they wanted into makeup(化妆) ideas. 19 The job taught me a valuable lesson: to be a successful salesperson, you didnt need to be a Rocket scientistyou needed to be a great listener. 20 Except they are no longer women purchasing cosmetics from me; instead, they are kids who tell me which toys they would like to see designed and developed.
