Question

7．Kids Speak UpIn an online poll （投票），TIME FOR KIDS and KidsHealth．org asked kids how they are getting along with their parents．Here's what they told us．
Getting Along and Having Fun
About two out of three kids said they get along very well with their parents．About four out of five told us they have fun with their parents．But that doesn't mean they never disagree．In fact，most kids reported arguing with their parents sometimes．
"It's common to disagree and argue，"says D'Arcy Lyness，a child psychologist （心理学家）．"But it's also important to learn how to do so respectfully．"About half of the kids said they are doing that．When they disagree with their parents，they say they have a discussion calmly．
But two out of five kids said arguments always involve shouting at each other．Lyness points out that shouting never helps．"Speak up，and let your parents know your ideas，"she advises．"But be patient．Don't use a raised，angry voice．"
Not surprisingly，three out of four kids admitted （承认） to lying at times．Many said they lie to avoid getting in trouble or disappointing their parents．According to Lyness，lying isn't just wrong．It can actually get bad results．Telling the truth builds trust．"When parents can trust you，they are more likely to give you more freedom．"she says．
A Changing Relationship
Kids ages 12 to 14 not only said they lie more，but they also reported having less fun，feeling less close，and not getting along as well with their parents．
According to Lyness，those feelings are not uncommon．As kids grow up，they have more disagreements or arguments with their parents．But it doesn't have to be that way．"Kids and parents get along differently at different times of the journey of life，"she says．As kids grow and change，it is important for ever ybody to adapt （适应）．"There's a dance of ways that you act with others and get along，"she points out．"Then there's a change，and it's a different dance．"Change is normal，she stresses．

分析 孩子们说
在一个儿童时代和KidsHealth．org的在线投票中调查孩子们是如何与他们的父母相处的．下面的内容是孩子们告诉我们的．
相处融洽和有趣
约2/3的孩子说他们与他们的父母相处融洽．约4/5的孩子们说他们与他们的父母在一起很开心．但这并不意味着他们从来没有分歧．事实上，大多数孩子都说他们与他们的父母有时会发生争吵．
儿童心理学家D'Arcy Lyness说，"出现分歧和争吵是很平常的事，但是，学习如何尊重也很重要．"大约一半的孩子说他们在做这件事．当与他们的父母出现分歧时，他们说他们会心平气和的与父母一起讨论．
但是，2/5的孩子说，争论总是牵涉到彼此之间的大声争吵．Lyness指出，大声争吵从来没有任何帮助．"说出来，让你的父母知道你的想法，"她建议，"但是要有耐心．不要使用高调、愤怒的声音．"
毫不奇怪，3/4的孩子承认有时会撒谎．许多人说他们说谎是为了避免麻烦或不让他们的父母失望．据Lyness所说，说谎并不都是错的，但它确实会得到不好的结果．信任建立在诚实的基础上．"当父母可以信任你时，他们更有可能给你更多的自由．"她说．
持续变化的关系
12岁至14岁的孩子不仅说他们说谎更多，而且他们也说他们的乐趣变少了，感觉不那么亲密了，而且与父母的关系也处的不那么好了．
据Lyness所说，这些感觉并不罕见．随着孩子长大，他们与父母之间有更多的分歧或争论．但大可不必这样．"在人生旅途中，孩子和父母在不同的时间上他们之间的关系也会有所不同"，她说，随着孩子的成长和变化，对每个人来说重要的是适应．"有一种舞蹈的方式，需要你与他人一起行动，并相互配合"，她指出，"后来这件事情变了，这是一个不同的舞蹈"．改变是正常的，她强调．
与你的家人分享这个故事．你可能会发现你有很多话要谈．

解答 49．B．细节理解题．根据About two out of three kids said they get along very well with their parents．可知，two out of three的孩子与自己的父母相处融洽，这里的two out of three就是2/3．
50．C．细节理解题．根据"But it's also important to learn how to do so respectfully．"About half of the kids said they are doing that．When they disagree with their parents，they say they have a discussion calmly．可知，Lyness认为，当与父母出现分歧时，学会如何尊重是最重要的，应该心平气和的坐下来谈谈，也就是有耐心的和父母讲述自己的意见，即Voice their opinions with patience，因此答案为C．
51．A．细节理解题．根据Telling the truth builds trust．"When parents can trust you，they are more likely to give you more freedom．"she says．可知，信任建立在诚实的基础上，对自己的父母诚实，他们才会更加信任你，才会放心给你更多的自由，因此答案为A．
52．D．细节理解题．根据As kids grow and change，it is important for ever ybody to adapt （适应）．"There's a dance of ways that you act with others and get along，"she points out．"Then there's a change，and it's a different dance．"Change is normal，she stresses．可知，每个人都应该做出一些改变去适应，只有这样才能够让双方的关系更融洽，因为改变是正常的，因此答案为D．
