Question

It’s not easy being a teenager nor is it easy being the parent of a teenager．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 you’ll 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 your child is unwilling to discuss something，don’t insist he tell you what’s on his mind．The more you insist， the more likely that he’ll clam up．Instead，let him try to solve things by himself. At the same time，remind him that you’re always there for him if he seeks advice or help．Show respect for your teenager’s privacy(隱私)．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 family’s telephone for too long，tell him he can talk for l5 minutes，but then he must stay off the phone for at least all 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(節(jié)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．

【解析】

試題分析: 青少年處于叛逆時期，和家長很容易起沖突。那么如何才能和孩子保持良好的關(guān)系，幫助孩子健康成長呢？在本文中作者就此提出了幾點建議。其中首要的是要尊重孩子，不要把自己的觀點強加于孩子身上。

1.主旨大意題。文章首段提出家長和處于青少年期的孩子不容易相處，提醒家長要給孩子成長的空間，但是同時還要給予必要的指導(dǎo)，然后在下文中給家長提出建議，由此判斷作者的目的是告誡家長如何幫助孩子成長，選C。

2.詞義猜測題。根據(jù)上句If your child is unwilling to discuss something，don’t insist he tell you what’s on his mind可以判斷如果孩子不愿意告訴家長，家長越是堅持孩子越是沉默，故答案選C。

3.主旨大意題。在本段開頭作者提出Teach your teenager that the family phone is for the whole family，然后再進行詳細解釋，由此判斷本段內(nèi)容是關(guān)于教給孩子如何正確使用家庭電話，選A。

4.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段At the same time，remind him that you’re always there for him if he seeks advice or help可知答案選B。
