I always feel sorry for world leaders busy dealing with fights between nations.When my three children were young，most days it was hard to keep my house from becoming a battlefield.

It got worse as they grew older.Three years ago，Zack，then 16，couldn’t make it through a day without making his sisters，Alex 11 and Taryn 9，angry.

My husband and I tried to be understanding the boy at such an age.We reasoned，punished，and left heartfelt notes on his bed about how he was hurting our family.His answer was “I say it because it’s true.”

I even tried telling the girls to fight back.Bad idea.Now I had three children at war.Whatever I said to them，they paid no attention.When there was no way out，I told everything to my sister，Mary，in an e?mail.She replied，“Don’t e?mail me.E?mail him.”

Our son was online every day，mailing and talking with his friends.Maybe he would actually hear me this way.I didn’t say anything different，but e?mail just took the tension away.There’d be no shouting or door banging.Zack wouldn’t feel under attack.

Zack didn’t reply for days.When he finally did，his entire message was four small words.I smiled when I read them：“You’re right.I’m sorry.”

The children still fought，of course，but Zack changed.Best of all，I now have a better way to talk with not one but three of them.I like it that they don’t tune me out as much as they used to.They like not having to listen to me shouting to them.Or as Alex says，“You’re so much nicer online.”

All I know is that the house is quiet.But we’re talking.

1.What was the trouble before the online talk in the family?

A. The children couldn’t get along peacefully.

B. The writer failed to understand her daughters.

C. The family found it difficult to keep the house clean.

D. The parents were not willing to talk with their children.

2.The writer e?mailed her sister .

A. to escape from the problem

B. hoping she’d e?mail the boy

C. to tell her about the family problem

D. asking about child?raising

3.The underlined phrase “tuneme out” in the passage probably means “ ”．

A. pay no attention to me

B. get angry with me

C. quarrel with me

D. keep me out of their rooms

4.Why does the writer feel sorry for world leaders busy dealing with fights between nations?

A. Because she doesn’t think the leaders are successful.

B. Because she doesn’t think fights can be stopped.

C. Because she has nothing to do with the leaders.

D. Because she can understand that the leaders’ job is hard.

My father is the man I respect most. Strict as he may be, however he never fails to show her care and consideration. Once I broke a neighbor window. Seeing nobody around, I ran away immediately. When Dad came home, he noticed my uneasiness and asked me what has happened. I could only tell him a truth. Instead of scold, he praised my honesty and then encouraged me to apologize our neighbor. I learned from this incident that not only does Dad take care of my health and he also teaches me what to be a good citizen. How luckily I am to have such a good father!
