11．How to Live Peacefully with Your ParentsAs a teen，you are going through big changes physically and mentally．Your interests are expanding．（36）E．
Here is the challenge：kids need to explore the world in new ways，and parents need to protect them from the dangers that are all out in the world．These conflicts（冲突）can easily set off fireworks in otherwise calm house．Sometimes conflicts can't be avoided．But by paying attention to the building blocks of successful relationships，you can work towards making home a happy and healthy place for you and your parents．
For example，try to find time to talk when your parents are not angry，tired，or hungry．A good time to talk is when you are all relaxed．Timing is everything．If the conversation begins to turn into an argument，you'd better calmly and coolly ask to stop it．（37）G．Listen to what your parents are saying，and repeat it back to them．This shows them that you are listening．（38）F．
Respect is the building block of good communication．People who respect each other and care about each other's feeling can disagree without getting things ugly．
（39）D．How do you build trust？Trust，comes by actually doing what you say you are going to do．Some teens find that doing fun activities with their parents can improve their relationships．Sometime we forget that parents are more than rule makers---they're interesting people who like to watch movies and go shopping---just like their teenagers!
What do you do if you are trying your best，but your relationship with your parents continues to be rocky？（40）AYou can find supportive adults，such as a teacher or a coach，who can lend an ear．Remember you can only change your own behavior．Your parents are the ones who can change theirs．

15．Our plan was to drive into Cambridge，catch the 7：34 train to Liverpool Street Station，then to separate and meet again for lunch．We should have arrived at Liverpool at 9：19，but due to a typical London fog，the train had to move along so slowly that it was not until 10：30 that it got there．In spite of our late arrival，Joan，my wife's sister，decided that she would go to see the Crown Jewels in the Tower of London while we went shopping．It was only after her sister had disappeared into the fog that my wife realized that we hadn't made clear where we should meet for lunch．Since I had our three tickets for the concert in my pocket，this was indeed a problem．There seemed to be nothing we could do other than taking a taxi to the Tower of London，and try to find her there．Needless to say，what we did was nothing but fruitless．
It was then one o'clock，and the concert began at 2：30．"Perhaps she will think of waiting outside the concert hall，"suggested my wife hopefully．By this time the fog was so thick that road traffic had to stop，and the only way to get there was by underground railway．Hand in hand we felt our way along the road to where we thought the nearest station should be．An hour later we were still trying to find it．Just as I was about to lose my temper completely when we met a blind man tapping his way confidently through the fog．With his help we found Tower Hill tube station just fifty yards down the road．
By now it was far too late even to try to get to the concert hall before the performance began at 2：30，so we decided to return to Cambridge．It took seven long hours instead of the usual two to make that journey．Nor were we able to get any food and drink on the train．Tired and hungry，we finally reached home at ten，opening the door to the sound of the telephone bell．It was Joan； she had seen the Crown Jewels，had managed to get another ticket for concert，and had had a wonderful dinner at a restaurant near the hotel where she decided to stay for the night．Now she was ringing to discover whether we had had an equally fulfilling day．

24．Why was Joan separated from her sister and her brother-in-law？C
A．Because they arrived late at Liverpool．
B．Because Joan had not seen the Crown Jewels．
C．Because they planned to do different things before noon．
D．Because her sister didn't want to go to the Tower of London．
25．The blind man offered help to the couple possibly byA．
A．leading the way in person
B．tapping the road confidently
C．giving the couple detailed directions
D．encouraging the couple to be patient and confident
26．The reason why they didn't all meet for lunch was thatD．
A．they failed to find the right underground station in the thick fog
B．they had some disagreement on the place where they should meet
C．they couldn't afford enough time to meet each other
D．they forgot to make necessary arrangement

5．Drinking water is so important for good health．When in school，you learned what water is made up of．（36）GHowever，what you may not have learned is how much water you need in order to be healthy．
As we all know，60% to 70% of the body is water．Your body needs water to control body temperature and to carry nutrients to all parts of the body（37）FWhen you are very active，for example，playing football，you'll lose more water．If you don't drink water at once，it will do harm to your health．
（38）CTake your weight in pounds and divide that number in half．That gives you the number of ounces of water that you need to drink per day．For example，if you weigh 160pounds，you should drink at least 80ounces of water per day．
Twenty percent of your water need will come from the foods you eat．（39）BWater is the best choice．Sodas have a lot of sugar in them，so if you drink sodas，you may take in more calories than you need．（40）D

A．Why do you need to drink water？
B．The rest should come from what you drink．
C．How much water do you need to drink every day？
D．Juices are good because they have lots of nutrients．
