Making Peace with Your Parents
As a teen, you’re going through big changes physically and mentally. Your interests are expanding. 【小题1】
Here is the challenge: Kids need to explore the world in new ways, and parents need to protect them from the dangers that are out in that world. These conflicts (矛盾) can easily set off fireworks in otherwise calm houses. 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 instance, try to find a time to talk when your parents are not angry, tired, distracted, or hungry. A good time to talk is when you’re all relaxed. Timing is everything. If the conversation begins to turn into an argument, you’d better calmly and coolly ask to stop the conversation -- for now. 【小题2】 Listen to what your parents are saying, and repeat it back to them. This shows them that you’re listening.【小题3】_
Respect is the building block of good communication. People who respect each other and care about each others’ feelings can disagree without things getting ugly. _【小题4】__ How do you build trust? Trust comes by actually doing what you say you’re going to do. Some teens find that doing fun activities with their parents can improve their relationships. Sometimes 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? _【小题5】__ You 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 only ones who can change theirs.
| A.It also gives them a chance to clear things up if you’re not on the same page. |
| B.You can pick it up again when everyone’s more relaxed. |
| C.And then you’ll be able to accept what your parents say. |
| D.Faced with the challenge, children don’t know what to do. |
F. And your desire to take control of your own life is growing.
G. You may consider seeking outside help.

The Winner’s Guide to Success
How do successful people think? What helps them to make success? To find out the answers, an American scholar recently visited some of the most successful people in America. 【小题1】
Be responsible for yourself
Sometimes you may want to blame others for your failure to get ahead. 【小题2】 You’re saying, “You have more control over my life than I do.”
Live life “on purpose”
Almost all successful people live life “on purpose”— they are doing what they believe they should and want to do. When you live your life on purpose, you’ll try your best to do your job or study as well as you can. You love what you do and you can find pleasure in what you do.
Write a plan
It is very difficult trying to get what you want without a good plan. 【小题3】 A good plan is like a map to you. Without this “map”, you may waste your time, money and also your energy; while with the “map” you’ll enjoy the “trip” and get what you want in the shortest possible time.
Be willing to pay the price
Nothing great is easy to get. So you must be ready to work hard — even harder than you have ever done. If you are not willing to pay the price, you won’t get anything valuable.
Never give up
【小题4】 When you are doing something, you must tell yourself again and again: Giving up is worse than failure because failure can be the mother of success, but giving up means the death of hope.
【小题5】
Once an American writer was writing a novel. He could not have a good ending for his book until one night when he had a very good idea. He was so excited that he made a phone call to one of his best friends. “I’ve got a perfect idea,” he said, “I’ll put it down later and show it to you.” But he never did, because he died that night. His book was left without a perfect ending. So remember, do what you can right away. Never delay at all.
| A.In fact, when you say someone or something outside of yourself is stopping you from making success, you’re giving away your own power. |
| B.It is just like trying to drive through strange roads to a city far away. |
| C.Some people achieve success much later in life because they fail to realize earlier the importance of hard work. |
| D.Here are some keys to success that they give. |
F. It seems to us that everyone knows this. But it is easier said than done.
G. Don’t delay

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳答案。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Is the customer always right? 【小题1】 Shopping is very much a part of a country’s culture, and attitudes to shopping and consumers vary from country to country just as much as climate or taste in food.
Recent economic hardship has given the consumers increased power in Europe because shopkeepers fight to win their share of reduced disposable(可支配的)income. This has meant falling prices, plenty of special offers and a re-examination of what customer service really means.
【小题2】 In restaurants in the south of the USA, for example, waiters compliment(恭维)you on your clothes, ask about your day, compliment you on your wisdom of your order and then return every ten minutes to refill your glass and make sure that everything is to your satisfaction.
Anyone who has waited 30 minutes to be served in a restaurant may possible dream of such customer service. 【小题3】 In fact, different nationalities expect different types of service. As a friend of mine once told me “By the end of evening I had spent as much time talking to the waiter as to my wife.”
A Chinese-American friend loves telling people about how her Chinese mother shops for clothes. First of all she waits until they are on sale. 【小题4】 And later she finds some small fault with the product and demands a further reduction. She never buys anything at the regular price. Could you imagine trying such ways in department stores in other countries?0
Attitudes to service are, of course, affected by employer’s attitudes to their workers. As American waiters heavily depend on tips, they have to provide more service. But is this fair? 【小题5】 It might not be a case of “Is the customer always right?” but a case of “How much service is it fair to expect?”
| A.People often point to America as an example of good customer service. |
| B.It is a question of expectations. |
| C.Do we think it is fair to ask shop assistants to work late evenings or on Sundays? |
| D.Then she asks for a discount until she gets an even better price. |
F. The way we shop shows the way we get along with other people.
G. However, do Europeans really want US style service?
