语法填空

阅读下面短文,按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求,在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空。

  Parents should stop blaming themselves because there's not a lot they can do about it.I mean the teenager problem.Whatever you do or   1   you choose to deal with it, at certain times a wonderful,   2  (reason)and helpful child will turn into a terrible animal.

  I've seen friends deal with it in all kinds of different ways.One strict mother insisted that her son, right from a child, should stand up whenever anyone entered the room, open doors and shake hands   3   a gentleman.I saw him last week when I called round.  4  (lie)on the sofa in full length, he made   5   attempt to turn off the loud TV he   6  (watch)as I walked in, and his greeting was no more than a quick glance at me.His mother was ashamed.“I don't know   7   to do with him these days,” she said.“He's forgotten all the manners we taught him.”

  He hasn't forgotten them.He' s just decided that he' s not going to use them.She confessed(坦白)that she would like to come up behind him and throw him down from the sofa onto   8   floor.

  Another good friend of mine let her two daughters climb all over the furniture, reach across the table, stare at me and say, “I don't like your dress; it's ugly.” One of the daughters has been driven out of school recently.The   9   has left home.

  10   did we go wrong?” her parents are now very sad.
