For many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear
winner.Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parentteen war is about boundaries:
Where is the line between what I control and what you do?
Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict.In part, this is because
neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it.From the parents' point of view, the only cause
of their fight is their adolescents' complete unreasonableness.And of course, the_teens_see_it_in_exactly_
the_same_way, _except_oppositely.Both feel trapped.
In this article, I'll describe three nowin situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and
then suggest some ways out of the trap.The first nowin situation is quarrels over unimportant things.
Examples include the color of the teen's hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of
clothing, the child's failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on
the weekends.Second, blaming.The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad
attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong.Third, needing to be right.It doesn't matter what the
topic is-politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg-the point of these arguments is
to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an
authority-someone who actually knows something-and therefore to command respect.Unfortunately, as
long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, they'll continue to fight
these battles forever and never make any real progress.

For many of us, printed books are
satisfying in ways beyond the words they contain. Billions of printed books
have been published, read and saved in the 600 years since movable type was
invented, so why mess with a good things?| 阅读理解 | ||||||||||||||
| For most students, the most difficult part of any exam is the actual studying.Typically, there is so much material to study that students begin to delay, putting off studying until the night before.After a latenight cram session, students arrive at the exam tired and feeling dazed by large amounts of information they've tried to absorb.The easiest way to study, for an exam, and avoid the cram sessions, is to make a study plan. The first step to making a study plan is to decide whether you want to study alone or in a group.When planning study times and organizing study sessions for a group, the needs and schedules of the group are a factor.As a result, you must decide whether you will be studying with a group before continuing with making a study plan. There are two time elements that are important to an effective study plan.The first time element to consider is the amount of time you have until the exam, while the second is the amount of time during the day that you can set aside for studying.Try to study for at least two hours per day for major exams, like entrance exams, and at least thirty minutes per day for lecture exams.If you are limited on the amount of time until the exam, such as one week or less, then you will need to increase your daily study time.Set up a schedule with clearly marked study times for each day. The content to be studied depends on the type of exam.For placement exams, entrance exams, and licensure exams, there are no specific textbooks or prior lecture notes.There are, however, commercially available review guides, and textbooks and lecture notes from past classes often contain a great deal of material that will help with the exam.By looking at the content areas of the test, you can determine what readily available material to study.For coursebased exams, textbooks and lecture notes are both ideal study content.Break the content into chunks(块), and then assign specific chunks to the study times that you have listed on your schedule. Once you have set up study times and assigned material to them, it is time to study.When reading textbooks, take notes on the information.With lecture notes, write notes in the margin.Use a highlighter.The idea is to make key information readily available for review.In addition, making notes and looking up ideas to supplement notes reinforces the material in your mind.Quiz yourself as you finish each area you are studying to determine what you still need to review. Study plans are as unique as the person making them.The most effective study plan will take into account your schedule, the times each day when you are able to study without interruption, and the amount of material that needs to be reviewed.By spreading out the study times and breaking up the information, you make it easier to absorb and retain the necessary material before the exam.
