2.Once kids hit the teenage years,parenting becomes more difficult than ever.Establishing(建立)effective house rules is one of the best ways to educate teenagers.House rules must respect teenagers'desire to be independent and make sure they behave responsibly.How can effective house rules be established?
First of all,get your teenager to take part in making the rules,which can help keep them motivated to follow them.Ask their opinion about what sorts of things they think are important when creating the rules and try to include some of their ideas.
When creating the list of rules,don't list every single rule imaginable.Instead,try to limit it to the ten most important rules.I've seen some parents come up with several pages of rules which turn out to be more like a rule book rather than a list.Remember,it is important to make the list easy to remember and to be a basic guide.
Then,it is important that you write out the list of rules and hang them in a prominent (显眼的) location.Keeping the rules on the refrigerator or displayed somewhere where everyone can see them is a good reminder.Revise the rules whenever there's a need,not very frequently though.
Explain clearly in advance what negative result will be in store when a rule gets broken.But ensure that none of your results are equal to abusive parenting.For example,take off the rule that says-"if you don't get home by 11at night,make arrangements to stay elsewhere until morning".Let helping with small household chores like cleaning up their own rooms serve as a result of breaking rules.
Follow these tips on establishing effective house rules accompanied by constant positive reinforcement (执行),and you will see the improvement in your teenager's behavior.Hope you can direct your teenager to become a responsible and independent person with the help of house rules!

76.Remind 77.whenever/when 78.Explaining 79.disobey/break 80.improve
71.teenager 查找题 根据文章的第一段第二句话的educate teenagers可以判断此处填teenagers
72.behaviors 转换题 挖空部分是对文章第一段的总结,能根据定位词responsible定位到最后behave,此空需要名词形式,所以填behaviors

74.Involving 转换题 根据文章中get your teenager to take part in making the rules,说明要孩子参与到家规制定中,所以此处表示"参与的"短语involve sb in doing sth
75.listing 查找题 根据avoid定位到原文don't list every single rule imaginable,avoid doing 表示"不要做某事",所以此处填listing
76.Remind 转换题 根据题干中的revise可以定位到第四段第二句话,a good reminder"一个很好的提醒"此处需要一个动词,所以根据短语remind sb of sth 可知此处填remind
77.when 查找题 根据Revise the rules whenever there's a need,not very frequently though.,可知此空填when
78.Explaining 查找题 根据Explain clearly in advance what negative consequences will be in store when a rule gets broken.可知此处表示解释家规被破坏的后果,所以此处填explaining
79.disobey/break 查找题 根据when a rule gets broken.或者该段最后一句话可以判断此处表达的破坏或者不遵守家规,所以可以填disobey/break
80.improved 查找题 根据help improve your teenager's behavior.behavior作主语,此处需要被动形式,可知此空填 improved

One of the most important rules is never to compromise on the things you ask for or desire or it will badly affect your life and peace of mind.Keep in mind your basic expectations of a dream job.They might be something about money or you might find they have something to do with time off.Whatever they are,make sure that you do not accept a job without them.Your requirements might not be easy to meet,but you have the right to try and achieve them.
What's more,don't shy away from odd(临时的)jobs that might actually take you to the place that you want to be in.Sometimes,finding the right job is a matter of luck and chance after you have been searching and putting in a lot of efforts.And if something unexpected happens,remember that taking the chance is of great importance and is something you might want to seriously consider.As long as you keep your goals in mind,you are going to be doing much better than other people during the job search.
If you are looking for the right job,another thing that you can do to make sure that you get the right kind of employment is to market yourself.When you do nothing to push yourself forward,you will be the one suffering for it.If required,give enough encouragement to yourself and try to confidently look at all that you have.Make sure that you can show your skills and abilities.If the jobs that you have set your sights on are challenging,set goals for yourself and work hard at them.The more efforts you put in marketing yourself,the more your chances of obtaining the job you like there will be.
Remember that when you are working on a job search,you should not short-change yourself.This is because you will only harm yourself by setting low goals.

Dreams about being chased (追逐)
Dreaming about being chased generally means you may be avoiding a person or something painful,annoying or fearful.
It could be a reminder that trying to avoid the problem could lead to more such dreams.Most people dream about being chased at one point or another.It's both common and natural.
Dreams about death
According to Jeffrey Sumber,a psychotherapist (精神治疗师) and author,dreams about death often indicate"the ending of something,whether that's a job or a relationship".He suggests a dream about death can also indicate attempts to remove anxiety or anger.These dreams don't suggest a person will actually die,he explains.
There are no tricks when it comes to avoiding such dreams.The only way is to do our inner work and make peace with it.
People who have dreams about death tend to be those who are entering an uncertain period in their life.It could be a life-changing event that creates anxiety and fear of the unknown.
Dreams about falling
Dreaming about falling can have a physiological basis,according to Cathleen O'Connor,Ph.D.As the body goes deep into sleep and the nervous system begins to be quiet,blood pressure and heart rate drop and this change can cause a falling dream.
O'Connor says that dreaming about falling is the mind's way of warning the dreamer of a situation in his or her waking life where they feel out of control.
"If dreams of falling bring feelings of fear,you should realize that the goal is not to avoid them but rather to work with those dreams in your waking state and deal with the fear so you can regain your balance,"O'Connor says.
Dreams about celebrities (名人)
"Celebrities carry some kind of message that's associated with personal achievements or lack,"says Shelley Smith,founding director of the Yoga Health & Therapy Center."A person dreaming about a celebrity is looking for inspiration …or some characteristic that is associated with that celebrity.
"That's one of the features of dream images,and they are not under our control,"Smith says."Your experience while you're sleeping is coming from a place that's totally unconscious (无意识的)."
"There is no one group that we can say has this particular dream more than another,"she says,"The image is energetic and specific to what the person's need is.For example,accomplishment,health,and rising to the top---whatever is associated with that celebrity.
