My parents quarreled a lot, and I was really worried about it. I didn’t know who I should talk with about how I was feeling. So I asked Mom to allow me to stay the night at my best friend’s house. Though I knew I wouldn’t tell her about my parents’ situation, I was looking forward to getting out of the house. I was packing up my things when suddenly the power (电) went out in the neighborhood. Mom came to tell me that I should stay with my grandpa until the power came back on.
I was really disappointed(失望的) because I felt that we did not have much to talk about. But I knew he would be frightened alone in the dark. I went to his room and told him that I’d stay with him until the power was restored(恢复). He was quite happy and said.
“Great chance.”
“What is?” I asked.
“To talk, you and I,” he said. “To hold a one-to-one little meeting about what we’re going to do with your mom and dad, and what we’re going to do with ourselves and the situation we are in now.”
“But we can’t do anything about it, Grandpa,” I said, surprised that here was someone with whom I could share my feelings and someone who was in the same “boat” as I was.
And that is how the most amazing friendship between my grandfather and me started. Sitting there in the dark, we talked about our feelings and fears of life from how fast things change to how they sometimes don’t change fast enough. That night, because the power went out, I found a new friend, with whom I could safely talk about all my fears and pains, whatever they may be.
Suddenly, the lights all came back on. “Well,” he said, “I guess that means you’ll want to go now. I really like our talk. I hope the power will go out every few nights!”
小题1:Why was Grandpa happy to see the writer?
A.Because he felt quite lonely.
B.Because he could discuss the problem with him.
C.Because he was afraid of darkness.
D.Because he had not seen him for a long time.

d. The writer worried about the parents’ disagreement and wanted to leave his home.

A.d-b-e-c-aB.a-b-e-c-dC.c-d-b-e-aD.d-c-b-e-a

Dear Jenny,

                                                        Mary, 11

                              Letter 2

Dear Jenny,

New York

                              Letter 3

Dear Jenny,

My dad has got a new job and he works long hours. He often has to work at weekends, too, so we spend very little time together. I miss him. What should I do?

                                                    Jim, 13

A.  You should discuss this problem with your parents. Have you talked to your father? Surely he misses you, too. Tell him how you feel, and perhaps he can spend more time with you. You can also ask your mother to make something special when your father isn’t working.

B. You shouldn’t worry so much. If you study hard, you’ll do well. Try to relax, find time to go for walks and eat three healthy meals every day. Don’t drink coffee or tea because you won’t be able to sleep. You should drink a glass of hot milk before you go to bed and think in a positive(积极的)way. Good luck.

C. Can you afford it? Can you pay for the huge bills(帐单)to run the mobile phone? Maybe you should save your pocket money. Anyway, you are still at school and you should concentrate on your study. Why not give up this idea?

The evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families. But it seems that four out of five young people now get on with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly held image of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.
An important new study into teenage attitudes (态度) surprisingly shows that their family life is happier than it has ever been in the past. “We were surprised by just how positive (积极的) today’s young people seem to be about their families,” said one member of the research team. “They’re expected to be rebellious(叛逆的)and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds; they want a car and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well. There’s discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process. They don’t want to rock the boat.”
So it seems that these parents are much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends. “My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me,” says 17-year-old Daniel LaSalle. “I always tell them when I’m going out clubbing. When they know what I’m doing, they’re fine with it.” Susan Cromer, who is now 21, agrees. “Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call talk or discussion. For example, when I’d done all my homework, I could go out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that.”
Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected. It is possible that the idea of teenage rebellion(叛逆)is not based on real facts. A researcher explains, “Teenagers were thought to be different from others in a part of time in our social history. But to our surprise, they say they are getting on well with their parents. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled.”
【小题1】The study shows that teenagers don’t want to ______________________.

A.share family dutiesB.cause trouble in their families
C.go boating with their familyD.make family decisions
【小题2】Compared with parents of 30 years ago, today’s parents ___________________.
A.go to clubs more often with their childrenB.are much stricter with their children
C.care less about their children’s lifeD.give their children more freedom
【小题3】According to the writer, teenage rebellion ____________________.
A.may be a wrong opinionB.is common at present
C.lived only in the 1960sD.was caused by changes in families
【小题4】Which title best gives the main idea of the passage?
A.Discussion in family.B.Teenage education in family.
C.Harmony in family.D.Teenage trouble in family.
