完形填空

Teenage years can be confusing for both teenagers and parents. At about 15, many teens start thinking about how they feel about themselves and out how this matches or mismatches what others think of them. Most teens work through this by the age of 16 or 17.

Often teenagers are treated like bigger children, but they will never become and responsible if they are not allowed to make some decisions for themselves. If parents forbid their children from doing something, chances are that they will do it without permission anyway. The role of a parent must, therefore, change from that of protector and keeper to that of friend and

Yet even the most caring parents misunderstand their children sometimes, and some think of teenagers as insecure, stubborn and .As a result, teenagers always keep their from their parents. Teens often that their parents repeat the same things over and over again and never listen to them.Parents must understand that teens need to be allowed to their side of any problem and express their point of view.

Thus, more private and level-headed communication is needed for the parents. Every parent should try to schedule time to be with their child, like taking a short trip together. This time allows parents to talk and listen without from work or other family members .It might also be good to encourage teens to important issues at dinner. Discussion time shows teens that parents are interested in them and their lives.

A person’s teenage years are a key time for them to identify their own ,like distinguishing good from evil. Handling and improving communication with teenagers is not easy, but success will be for parents and teens alike.

As we grow old, we realize that we have so little time to read and there are so many great books that we’ve yet to get around to.Yet re-readers are everywhere around us.For certain fans, re-reading The Lord of the Rings is a conventional practice annually.One friend told me that Jane Austen’s Emma can still surprise him, despite his having read it over 50 times.

New sudden clear understandings can be gained from the process of re-reading.Journalist Rebacca Mead, a long-time Englishwoman in New York, first came across George Eliot’s Middlemarch at 17.Since then, she has read it again every five years.With each re-reading, it has opened up further; in each chapter of her life, it has resonated (引起共鸣) differently.Mead evidenced the large number of ways in which really good books not only stand the test of repeat reads, but also offer fresh gifts each time we crack their spines.These kinds of books grow with us.

Scientists have also recognized the mental health benefits of re-reading.Research conducted with readers in the US found that on our first reading, we are concerned with the “what” and the “why”.Second time round, we’re able to better appreciate the emotions that the plot continues to express.As researcher CristelRussell of the American University explained, returning to a book “brings new or renewed appreciation of both the great book and its readers.”

It’s true that we often find former selves on the pages of old books (if we’re fond of making notes on the pages).These texts can carry us back to a time and place, and remind us of the kind of person that we were then.We’re changed not only by lived experience but also by read experience – by the books that we’ve discovered since last reading the one in our hand.

More so than the movie director or the musician, the writer calls upon our imaginations, using words to lead us to picture this declaration of love or that unfaithfulness in life.A book is a joint project between writers and readers, and we must pour so much of ourselves into reading that our own life story can become connected with the story in the book.

Perhaps what’s really strange is that we don’t re-read more often.After all, we watch our favourite films again and we wouldn’t think of listening to an album only once.We treasure messy old paintings as objects, yet of all art forms, literature alone is a largely one-time delight.A book, of course, takes up more time, but as Mead confirms, the rewards make it adequately worthwhile.

A. attract the attention of readers

B. introduce the topic of the passage

C. provide some background information

D. show the similarity between re-readers

They are, and they send the prints faster and cheaper than any other way.

Human messengers are much more expensive and slower than the pigeons.The road to Felton goes through the mountains, and the driving is not easy.An electronic printout (电子打印输出) system could do the work in Felton, but at a cost of 10 dollars a print.Pigeons carry the designs for about 1 dollar each.
