For many parents , raising a teenager is like fighting a long war ,but years go by without any clear winner . Like a border conflict between neighboring countries ,the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?

Both sides want peace ,but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict . In part ,this is because neither is willing to admit .any responsibility for starting it . From the parents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’ complete unreasonableness. And of course .the teens see it in exactly the same way , except oppositely . Both feel trapped

In this article. I’ll describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no-win situation is quarrels over unimportant things . Examples include the color of the teen’s hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom ,the preferred style of clothing , the child’s failure to eat a good breakfast before school ,or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends .Second ,blaming.The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong . Third , needing to be right ,It doesn’t matter what the topic is –politics. The taws of physics ,or the proper way to break an egg –the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong .for both wish to be considered an authority—someone who actually knows something — and therefore to command respect. Unfortunately , as long as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other ,they’ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress

A. Both can continue for generations .

C. Neither has any clear winner

D. Neither can be put to an end

A recent study on parents who beat their children indicated that physical punishment still occurs far more frequently than previously thought but that physical punishment was ineffective. Given that 73 percent of the children who were hit waited less than 10 minutes before acting out again.

So, what is?

Many parents deal with their children’s mistakes by taking away toys and separating them from their playmates. But for strong-willed kids like I was, none of these methods were effective.

Like many kids, I wasn’t bad; I was bored. Fortunately, my father realized this fairly early on and developed a new form of “discipline” that produced immediate results and long-term positive effects.

Looking back as an adult, my father’s method of making me read the encyclopedia (百科全書)whenever I did something wrong was the best thing he could have done.

He would tell me a topic and say, “Learn about the aardvark and I’m going to quiz you shortly after.” It was punishment in the sense that I was forced to stop whatever I was doing, but it also had a purpose in that it kept my mind occupied and presented the type of mental challenge I clearly lacked.

Although unwillingly, I went to learn absolutely everything there was to know about aardvarks because I was going to figure out every question he could throw at me. If it weren’t for my driving need to prove him wrong, it may not have worked as well as it did.

So that’s just it: It was effective. It helped me change my behavior in that moment and it conditioned me to seek out books when I was bored. Obviously, that happened frequently and apparently and it worked. I grew up to become a successful lawyer and a famous writer as well.

To this day, Dad’s the only one who can beat me.

1.What is the probable main idea of Paragraph 1?

A. It reports the result of a recent study about the encyclopedia.

B. Physical punishment is useless to deal with children.

C. Physical punishment only occurred previously.

D. 73 percent of the children love physical punishment.

2.Why do many kids frequently do what they’re not allowed to do according to

the author?

A. Because they produce immediate results and long-term positive effects.

B. Because they prefer to break the “discipline” set by their parents.

C. Because they are always regarded as bad kids both at home.

D. Because they often find it’s dull in their everyday life.

3.What was the author’s father method of punishing him for his mistakes?

A. His father angrily took away his favourite toys.

B. His father separated him from his playmates.

C. His father forced him to do some reading and tested him later.

D. His father ordered him to learn about the aardvark and quizzed him shortly after.

4.What can be inferred from this passage?

A. Children who are mentally challenged are more likely to be successful.

B. Parents ought to develop a new form of discipline to educate their kids.

C. It’s absolutely necessary to punish strong-willed kids physically.

D. The stricter parents are, the few mistakes children will make.

“Oh，you must have been a spoiled (寵壞的) kid.You must be really bossy.I wonder what you’re going to be like to deal with？” That’s often the response Angela Hult gets when people find out she’s an only child，she told ABC News.Despite such negative (消極的) remarks，Hult has decided to have only one child herself.And she’s not alone.

According to the US’ Office for National Statistics，women approaching the end of their childbearing years had an average of 1.9 children in 2004，compared with 3.1 for their counterparts in 1976.The percentage of one?child families in Britain had risen from 18 percent in 1972 to 26 percent in 2007.

But even though only children are becoming increasingly common，the traditional view that they’re selfish，spoiled and lack social skills holds strong.Even parents of only children，like Hult，are made to feel guilty about having only one child.Worried that they’re being selfish and endangering their child’s future，they flock to online discussion forums seeking advice.Soon，however，they ask themselves：is this social prejudice really reasonable?

“There have been hundreds and hundreds of research studies that show that only children are no different from their peers (同齡人)，” Susan Newman，a social psychologist at Rutgers University in the US，told ABC News.

This raises another question：why are only children still viewed with such suspicion?

“There is a belief that’s been around probably since humans first existed that to have just one child is somehow dangerous，both for you and for the continuation of your race，” Toni Falbo，a professor of educational psychology，told the Guardian.“In the past a lot of children died.You’d have had to be crazy to only have one.”

Times，of course，have changed and infant mortality (嬰兒死亡率) has largely reduced.So what do only children themselves say?

Kayley Kravitz，a blogger for The Huffington Post，grew up as an only child and highly recommends the experience.“Being an only child taught me the most valuable skill of all：the ability to be alone，” she said.

1.Which of the following could be the best title for the text?

A．Are only children lonely?

B．Are only children common?

C．Are only children dangerous?

D．Are only children different?

2.What does Susan Newman mean?

A． Only children are as good as their peers.

B．Only children are more selfish and spoiled.

C．Parents feel guilty about having only one child.

D．Parents will endanger their only child’s future.

3.What is the common belief since human existed?

A．The infant death rate always stays high.

B．People are crazy to have only one child.

C．It’s easy for only children to earn their living.

D．It’s hard to continue the family line with only one child.

4.An only child like Kayley________.

A．must be difficult to persuade

B．can possibly learn to be alone

C．should value special skills

D．need ignore bad experience

5.What’s the author’s attitude towards having only one child?

A．Neutral.　B．Negative.

C．Positive.　D．Doubtful.
