Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers. But last summer, Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son: suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents. “The door to his room is always shut,” Joanna noted.

Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter. “She used to cuddle up(蜷伏)with me on the sofa and talk,” said Mark. “Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something. Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady. The problem is figuring out which time is which.”

Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what’s on their minds. “In fact, parents are first on the list,” said Michael Riera, author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers. “This completely changes during the teen years,” Riera explained. “They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last.”

Parents who know what’s going on in their teenagers’ lives are in the best position to help them. To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them. And they must give their children a mental break, for children also need freedom, though young. Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager, with their children is a better way to know them.

1. “The door to his room is always shut” in the first paragraph suggests that the son ______.

A. is always busy with his studies

B. doesn’t want to be disturbed

C. keeps himself away from his parents

D. begins to dislike his parents

A. their daughter isn’t as lovely as before

B. they can’t read their daughter’s mind exactly

C. they don’t know what to say to their daughter

D. their daughter talks with them only when she needs help

3.What’s the meaning of “the wall of silence” in the last paragraph?

A. Teenagers talk a lot with their friends.

B. Teenagers do not talk much with their parents.

C. Teenagers talk little about their own lives.

D. Teenagers do not want to understand their parents.

4.What can be learned from the passage?

A. Parents are unhappy with their growing children.

B. Parents have suitable ways to talk with their teenagers.

C. Parents should be patient with their silent teenagers.

阅读短文,从所给的选项中选出每段最恰当的主题句,并将其字母序号填在横线上(其中有一项多余选项)。

A. Feed your head

B. Eat what you like

C. Learn what you love

D. Get to bed and go to sleep

E. Body exercise is brain exercise

F. Learn the power of risk taking

How would you like to learn more without having to study more? Here’s how:

1._____________. Your performance, attention, and the ability to concentrate(集中) are damaged by shortness of sleep. Teenagers need nine to ten hours of sleep a night for best performance(表现).

2.______________. The brain(大脑) runs badly if it doesn’t get enough fuel(燃料). That means protein(蛋白质) and complex carbs (复合碳水化合物)-eggs and wheat bread for breakfast, say, rather than sugary cereal(含糖的麦片粥) and orange juice. The biggest mistake teens make is not to have breakfast or to go for sugar, which raises blood sugar levels.

3.______________. Body exercise really improves brain performance, perhaps because it increases blood flow, or perhaps because it makes stress and anxiety(焦虑) smaller. Twenty minutes of activity a day that raises your heart rate will do great good.

Learn now what you want to remember for the rest of your life. Teenage brains are much better at remembering things than the brains of young children or adults(成年人). Scientists aren’t sure why. Whatever the reason, the teenage years are the time to learn new languages and master(掌握) other lifelong skills.

4._____________. Adults are always worried about the downside(下降) of teenage risk(冒险) taking, and it’s true that teenagers are more likely than adults to get themselves in trouble by drinking and driving. But the fact that the parts of the brain that drive people to try new, risky, and exciting things appear to be more developed in teenagers can be a huge advantage. Pick certain challenges-difficult sports, a hard job, mastering a performance art, traveling overseas-and the teenage brain is able to deal with them. They have this power they’re given to go out and do it without fear.

5.______________. Because emotional(情感的) systems develop fast in teenager brains, teenagers learn things they’re interested in quickly and well. Their brains give them tools like attention on the project.

 

Rome had the Forum (论坛). London has Speaker’s Corner. Now always-on-the-go New Yorkers have Liz and Bill.

Liz and Bill, two college graduates in their early 20s, have spent a whole year trying to have thousands of people talk to them in subway stations and on busy street comers. And just talk. Using a 2-foot-tall sign that says, “ Talk to Me,” they attract conversationalists, who one evening included a mental patient, and men in business suits.

They don’t collect money. They don’t push religion (宗教). So what’s the point?

“To see what happens,” said Liz. “ We simply enjoy life with open talk.”

Shortly after the September 11, 2001 attacks, they decided to walk from New York City to Washington, a 270-mile trip. They found they loved talking to people along the way and wanted to continue talking with strangers after their return. “ It started as a crazy idea.” Liz said. “ We were so curious about all the 10 strangers walking by with their life stories. People will talk to us about anything: their job, their clothes, their childhood experiences, anything.” Denise wanted to talk about an exam she was about to take. She had stopped by for the second time in two days, to let the two listeners know how it went. Marcia had led her husband to a serious disease. “That was very heavy on my mind.” Marcia said. “ To be able to talk about it to total strangers was very good,” she explained.

To celebrate a year of talking, the two held a get-together in a city park for all the people they had met over the past year. A few hundred people appeared, as well as some television cameramen and reporters. They may plan more parties or try to attract more people to join their informal talks. Some publishers have expressed interest in a book, something the two say they’ll consider before making a decision.

1.What did Liz and Bill determined to do after the attack on September 11, 2001?

A. Telling stories to strangers.

B. Setting up street signs.

C. Talking with people

D. Organizing a speaker’s party.

2.Why are Denise and Marcia mentioned in the text?

A. They knew Liz and Bill very well.

B. They happened to meet the writer of the text.

C. They organized the get-together in the city park.

D. They are examples of those who talked to Liz and Bill.

3.What will Liz and Bill do in the future?

A. Go in for publishing

B. Do more television programs.

C. Continue what they are doing

D. Spend more time reading books.

4.How do they like the idea of writing a book?

A. They have decided to wait a year or two.

B. They will think about it carefully

C. They agreed immediately

D. They find it hard to do that.
